Shut your eyes, imagine Calde in a SUIT on the touchline, and now tell me you wouldn't appoint him.
LIAR.
LIAR.
ALL ABOARD THE CALDE CARAVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of interest why do people love Calderon so much. As a player I've always thought he was alright, you know he does a job but he's nothing special. And I'm amazed no one else remembers him bombing us out to join Saints only to fail his medical and come crawling back.

I'd love to see Calde as our manager one day; just not yet.

In no particular order:
He does a lot of work with Charities such as Chestnut Tree House, and competes in triathlons.
He puts a lot of effort in despite being seen, by many, as inferior to the likes of Bruno.
He's been involved with the squad on the rise from League 1 through to its establishment in the Championship.
As Orlandi alluded to, he helps/helped the Spanish contingent settle in the city - whether that be with language/cultural issues, or places to go/live.
He seems genuinely enthusiastic about Brighton and Hove Albion, with an air of loyalty when he speak about the club and the team.
Has a lot of time for fans, and isn't afraid to get involved in motivating the team from the touchline.
Hope this helps

It's not history rewritten. We offered him a contract when he was inured. A career threatening injury they were'nt sure he would recover from, instead of signing he went and spoke to Southampton. Poyet at the time said "he won't be signing he won't be here next year". He went to saints but they didn't want to gamble on him because of his injury. He came back to us and signed a new contract that wasn't as good as the first one we offered him.
I thought that was common knowledge.
Rather surprised it is you that has posted this! His is the antithesis to the type of footballer behaviour that you were (rightly) bemoaning the other week. He is EXACTLY the type of person you want around a football club.
