[Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

[Farehamseagull]

THE most us appointment possible?!

How would it be viewed Brighton poaching the St Pauli manager though?! Hipster confusion everywhere!

And surely wouldn’t be popular with many fans on here who don’t like managers leaving a project at their current club for a bigger job earning lots more money! And imagine if he brought some of his coaching staff with him!

 

[jcdenton08]

This is exactly the link I’ve been waiting for. Something totally left field, young, never heard of him… perfect. Get him IN

 

[Is it PotG?]

Anyone know how to pronounce the name correctly, need to prepare a song (just in case, of course)?

Ist Fah-bian (as in do-re-mi-fa-so) Hurtz-uller (as in ouch it hurts but with a z and eurgh ler)

 

[Barham's tash]

Got promoted so unlikely to be in the mix yet. Is he the next Klopp?!

Happy to have been wrong on this one. Exciting and left field. Naturally one for the all the bed wetters to be revisionist about…

 

[BrickTamland]

I want one.

Uncle Tony, please

 

[Whitechapel]

Yes, can anyone shed any light on how much of an issue this would be?

The fact that all 3 names have leaked suggests it’s the club who have put this info out there. Would the club let this slip unless it was looking good?

The negative view is they’re putting it out there so they can say “we tried” when Potter is announced.

The positive view is they’re confident they can get this guy or Rydstrom and we’re just waiting on interviews.

This. And a St Pauli pre-season friendly sweetener? It's just perfick really

 

[Mancgull]

I expect we’ll hear relatively soon now.

 

[Zeberdi]

Matt Law of the Telegraph reporting that he’s on our shortlist.
Manager of newly promoted St Pauli in Germany.
Born in the US with a Swiss father and German mother.
Only 31 years old.
Something about this guy that says he could be the one. Support from Crofts and Milner and away we go.

That’s been my thinking in recent days - he really ticks all the boxes for me on a number of levels.

 

[Coldwaltham Seagull]

Perhaps one for the future if whoever we appoint in the next couple of weeks doesn't work out. Will definitely be keeping an eye on St Pauli's progress next season

Might get to keep a very close eye on him after all

 

[RandyWanger]

He's just signed an extension at St. Pauli. As someone who knows nothing about him but is already on the hype train, I feel this would be like RDZ saying he's staying and happy to work under our conditions and then a bigger team coming in and RDZ slithering off like that little thin skinned potter prick.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Did my thread spark a rumour?

Don't flatter yourself

 

[Zeberdi]

That's good, the oppos will have us sussed from day 1.

No he’s sussed the weakness in De Zerbi’s game both in defence and attack - he tweaked the system exactly because SP were running into the same problems we were.

 

[southstandandy]

I expect we’ll hear relatively soon now.

Yeah, about 5 weeks I reckon. Waiting for a Euro 24 manager to become available.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I'm.....not sure what to think yet. I trust our club to make an educated appointment and if it's this bloke, so be it...I will rally behind him

Between seasons is generally OK, during a season is shitty. Taking a manager from a newly promoted side that wants to keep him, is also a bit shitty though. But I guarantee he would write a better goodbye note than Potter, and not embitter St.Pauli fans severely.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Not sure why he would join us having just been promoted with St Pauli - might be a similar situation to McKenna.

 

[holybanjo]

The positive view is they’re confident they can get this guy or Rydstrom and we’re just waiting on interviews.

There's not really any competition for either so I don't see the issue with it being made public.

 

[US Seagull]

So there was some concern that if we poached McKenna we'd be perceived as "the baddies". Does poaching Hurzeler not also make us "the baddies"? Or do we not give a crap about the opinions of some German football fans? (which I'm totally on-board with, BTW)
