Blooms criteria....

Reading between the lines with regards to the the various statements made by those connected to the club I'm not convinced we are limited to the "obvious" choices being touted around on here. Domestically the only 3 candidates free, available and matching TB's criteria would be Coppell, Curbishley and maybe Jewell.

The fact TB seems to be willing to be patient and still working on a shortlist suggests we are probably open to either poaching another teams manager or making a foreign appointment.

As part of his business interests TB has trusted advisors advising him of football matters across all the major leagues in Europe. To me this means the scope of our search is likely to be wider than before and we are sure to have greater access and intelligence on international candidates than ever before.

I'm thinking Hinsh may be around for a while yet....

nobody wants us to run out at Falmer in the basement division, which is likly if Hinsh has more than a few games in charge.

Well I think that is about right, having said that, if Coppell was open to the idea, he'd probably stop his search right there, wouldn't he?

Each hour that passes with him in charge, is an hour too long.

Where did you hear that?

I already have a ticket for the leeds game. I want the new man in charge by then!

It's not exactly a secret, numerous wealthy punters trust TB to "invest" funds in football betting - TB has a team of experts and risk managers advising him. Very professional setup.

A few lessons learnt from last time I would think.

I'd imagine Coppell is target numero uno, but publically annoucing that didn't exactly work last time did it.

To be fair, I seem to remember that Stockport posted a story on their website, announcing that they had given us permission to talk to Gannon, thus forcing Knight's hand into admitting that Gannon was favourite.

Yes, but mistakes were quite obviously made.

 

[portslade seagull]
