White & Co in to save Whites

COUNTY League strugglers Bexhill United have swooped on the Seagulls in a bid to avoid an immediate return to Division Three.

We understand that Brighton and Hove Albion assistant manager Dean White and reserve team coach Bob Booker will form a unique three-way management team with Paul Tuppenney at The Polegrove.

Recent results including Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Southwick, when the Whites led 2-1 against 10 men until the final 15 minutes, prompted chairman Colin Dunstall to act.

Persuading the pair to move from the League One giants is a stunning coup for United, but Booker and Bexhill-based White are both understood to be keen on a new challenge in management.

Former Sheffield United target man Booker, 49, was sacked by Albion in September 2006. But he returned to Brighton under new boss Micky Adams in the summer after a stint trying to revive Pease Pottage Village, United's County League rivals, alongside Bob Laundon.

The duo are expected to formally leave Albion after the Seagulls' Boxing Day clash with Colchester United, in time for Bexhill's crucial league match against Westfield on January 3.

Dunstall, Booker and White were unavailable for comment on Tuesday.

I hope this is true too. We need a quality coach at Withdean.

Face saving way out for the pair of clowns and hopefully Thicky Adams gets a one way ticket to the job centre

[Lady Whistledown]

Got to be a wind up...how on earth would Bexhill United afford two full time salaries?

A comment at the end of this article - as I said, I hope the fella who posted it is not on a wind up as I would love it to be true.

Adams still relishing the challenge (From The Argus)

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Oh PLEASE be true

 

[BensGrandad]

Would be the best Christmas present to all Seagulls fans especially if they take Loft on loan with them, if only it were to prove to be true, unfortunately it appears unlikely.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Not qualified enough for Bexhill are they?

 

[Giraffe]

This is a wind up I am sure.

But the daft thing is, none of us would be sorry to see it happen. Coaches are completely unqualified at this level, particularly Dean White.

 

[algie]

Deffo sounds like a load of gerbils.

 

[clarkey]

This is a wind up I am sure.

But the daft thing is, none of us would be sorry to see it happen. Coaching are completely unqualified at this level, particularly Dean White.

Not only would be not be sorry, most would agree its about their level.

 

[Nottseagull]

Did they used to be Sidley Utd and are Bexhill Town still going?

 

[Trigger]

Would be a great Christmas present to get shot of White, doubt it's true though.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

the League One giants

It falls apart on these four words
