Brighton's New Manager

[bhaexpress]

No good taking on a manager from a higher league as we need somebody who can operate of a lousy budget which is exactly why Coppell is so good with a club in our position.

Having seen pretenders like Taylor 'come down' to teams in our situation they tend to struggle as they can't handle the constraints. It rarely happens anyway, can you imagine say, Brian Robson here ?

get stevey cotterill in, experienced and talented, and we wont need to buy new training kits because he has the same initials!

We do not need long-ball, neck testing football that Cotterill's teams play.

Dowie? At least Oldham play on the ground

 

[Icy Gull]

The loyal long ball Cotterill - No thanks

 

[Bromley shrimp]

Helga, Get your drift, although can't quite square it with Taylor who squandered millions at Leicester in the Prem.

Weezle, would you consider Terry Burton, ex Womble, (what's he up to now) from your premise?

 

[Mullers]

Who would like winning the Div2 Championship on their CV?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He's working on a non-contract basis - his choice, for this kind of eventuality. Oldham would have no choice. Dowie even came out in public and said he wanted the West Ham job!

he would he is a legend there. it would be like hoddle going back to spurs

 

[Royal]

Where did you hear this one?

Now you are being silly, you have not even got a stadium...lol

Sadly the choice isn't up to me. TB is quite a good manager, but hasn't had a record of any success. Cotterill has won several promotions, whilst Dowie took Oldham to the play-offs last year and is doing wonders despite having to play with half his youth team due to his 'stars' being sold off behind his back. I think Oldham would have been top 3 this year if Dowie had have been able to keep his squad.

Just remember how good we've got it.

 

[The Oldman]

In the pub at lunchtime Alan Mullery was mentioned!!!

 

[Turkey]

A lot of people will want the job.

Personally I would stick Hinsh/Booker in temp charge again. Yes we sacked Hinsh but they both know the players and its not far from Hinsh's team last year (which is good enough for this league).

When a good manager becomes available snap him up. None of the names mentioned fill me with any exictment but the best two have to be Dowie/Kinnear.

 

[C1 BHA]

We don't need a new manager, not for ages.............

The best thing possible is for a new manager to come in the same day the old one goes. We do not want a long gap and we do not want any of the back room boys moving up.

Dowie would be good - sensational to get a bunch of loan signings at Oldham into mid table. They were dreadful first day of the season so he has worked wonders there.

 

[Lush]

West Ham pissed on Reading, so Reading piss on us, so we piss on poor old Oldham. Can't help thinking there's something very unsavoury about appointing Dowie.

I still think it will be Booker and Hinsh until Christmas when Falmer gets the go-ahead and we can offer a proper contract to somebody.

That's if Steve goes, of course....

 

[Southy]

Dowie is the by far and away the best option. Another big Palace connection though, Taylor, Coppell, Dowie, its like a 70's, 80's, 90's Palace nightmare...
I can't believe someone seriously mentioned Hinch as a possible stop gap. THE MAN IS COMPLETE SHIT. HE IS ONLY STILL INVOLVED WITH THE CLUB BECAUSE DK IS TOO NICE. Please god dont tet him any where near the 1st team because I garuntee we'll start plummetting down the league. "The most honest bunch of players Ive ever worked with"...

 

[Weezle]

There is absolutely no point waiting until Falmer is anounced!

Dowie is a quality manager and we would be pleased to have him with or without the news. If he joins us now, he is hardly likely to jump ship in the next couple of onths before the anouncement. The squad needs continuity not temporary mangers in between!

As for screwing Oldham over tho. i do feel bad. But hey, it's the way of the world - it's been done to us and they may do it to someone else - it's part of the football pyramid!

 

[Seagullible]

I can tell you now ther ewill be no stop gap as DK has a replacement already sorted and did so 3 weeks ago when the West Ham job was available.

 

[Rougvie]

Why do we constantly reduce ourselves to slagging potential candidates just because they have connections with Palace ?
For f***'s sake its in the past.
Ian Dowie is a good young manager who although not my first choice, will do a good job if he comes to us and should take over where SC has left off. I have no doubt he has the credentials to take us back up to Div1, and the sort of young manager who could take us into the Falmer era.
As for Hinshey he has made it no secret that SC has the Reading job and has told anyone who cares to listen, no love lost between them obviously. I hope that DK sees through him and puts Booker in charge for Grimsby, them an appointment next Monday as Ian Dowie new manager of BHAFC.

 

[MRRF 10]

How about gerrard houlier, he will be sacked from liverpool soon

 

[FamilyGuy]

Peter Reid - talk sense !!!!
According to the papers he's on £800k at Leeds - how the hell are we gonna compete with that?

.....and besides which - he's on his way down. I agree that we need a young ambitious manager.

Steve Coppell is his name.
