I am sorry, i was not aware of the clause, i will now sleep so much better knowing that if / when you commit suicide, the payout will still go ahead.
(having said that, i still can't sleep, and have nightmares, since seeing you dressed up at cheltenham last season

Not that I'm doubting it, but I haven't heard Warnock say this. Some people are saying 'he has said it several times..' When and where did Warnock say he wanted the Albion job? Was it in an interview when someone said 'Would you like to manage Brighton & Hove Albion?' or 'Which club would you like to manage?'
Anyone?

Just a question, but how much money do you think Martin Jol is on at Spurs ? do you think he would be prepared to take a 95% pay cut to come here
Ridiculous thread. After just three league games and people are already discussing Wilkins' future.
But Martin Jol for the Albion??!! What planet are you living on?

How long?
Why wait he has had nearly a full year in charge. Two transfer windows, a full pre-season..and the club are going backwards.
The gates are the lowest ever at withdean, the fans will not pay to watch what his team are dishing up.
We dont sack him today, that is a little too soon....But considering the way we finished last season and have started this one...its got to change...
Two more poor performances over the next two home games and no win in either will make the mind up of the ones who are still holding onto the thread of hope that wilkins will change into a decent manager...so far there are no signs to be confident on that.

Here's one example (the post that I made was from the BBC website - preseason 2005) He has also said similar in a programme but I haven't got the time to find which one at present. I will do soon

Errm........i take it you are not referring to me ? you have quoted my post and then asked me "what planet am i living on"........ the same one as you actually.
If you read closely and to other posts i have made, firstly i believe we should stick it out with Wilkins, secondly i also believe that Martin Jol would have to be on serious amounts of cocaine to come to our lovely little football club at the moment.

Sorry hitony this was a mistake. I meant of course the poster you replied to.
I'm glad we agree.

Even with Alex Ferguson in charge we would, in my opinion, do little better than we are now. He wouldn't make them better players by shouting at them. They are the players they are and we can't afford better. The same has been true during most stages of our history.
Our problem is money and until we get more of it from whatever source nothing will change. Even then there are no guarantees. The history of football is littered with clubs who have had big cash injections, spent on managers/players/grounds and STILL have not achieved anything significantly better, or have even been relegated.
We have no divine right to success and some people on here need a reality check.

Easier to write about managers you wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
Here's one ; Martin Allen. Great self-promotion but his teams don't usually get promoted. Big ego; not particularly good manager. His failure to get one of the richest teams in League 2 up last season was blatant failure.

what experiences might they be?
Horton on his uppers, gets a job and then moves onto a new one at his first club and near his girlfriend
Adams - out of work and gets a job. Chairman sticks with him when crowd call for his head and goes on to win a title, sets the ground for a second and within 7 months is managing in the premiership
Or Taylor who has his career picked up, gets a title and then bottles it before Coppell almost does the job on the same money and with all others having a 13 game start
Or was it Coppell who was assistant at Swindon and then within 2 years us managing a club challenging for promotion to the premiership
Or perhaps Mcghee who is probably the one manager with cause for complaint(not that i disagreed with his sacking) after losing the crowd.
As Adams and Coppell are regularly seen in contact with Knight, that must be the most telling part.
So if their experiences are known then I'm sure we should have a long list of managers looking to have thier career saved!
