Mark McGhee is the best manager we've had for years

(except perhaps Barrett and the keeper whose name I have forgotten). I think McGhee will unearth some good uns!

You mean Andy F:censored:king Petterson? Who I would put at fault for quite a few of the goals we conceded in that run. :angry:

Well....there was Ben Roberts for a month...but surely you don't mean him? That one handed full length save away at Bradford was one of the best ever. Apart from him we only had Beasant at the end of the season.
I don't remember another loan keeper. We had Royce from Leicester the year before when we won div 2, he was rubbish.

My views are most definitely clouded by Coppel walking out, especially after stalling on a contract for ages while on holiday getting friendly with Bangkok chick boys and then pissing off for better things somewhere else.

No, it was Mr Petterson. He was CRAP :censored:

The keeper was Roberts wasn't it?

Mark McGhee will need our support on Saturday because both the Reading fans will be given him stick.

"Mark McGhee's Blue and White Army" MUST echo around the Mad Stad!! :clap:

Having had both managers as well I can safely say that they are both damn good and that Coppell and McGhee are not too dissimilar in being top managers.

Except one is a Judas of course ;)

Agreed and he also wears his trousers too high and is as dour as a Northerner can be :lol:

MM is clearly the man for the job at the Albion... he has done very well on very limited resources... he is clearly an intelligent man... I expect that he will lead us to survival this season...

To be fair, MA and SC are great managers too...

Better than Adams? I reckon.

Better than Coppell? No brainer.

Can't agree with your assessment (just yet) of McGhee

Under Adams we won a championship and played, consistantly better, more attractive football than McGhee. If anyone says that watching BHA last season was enjoyable at Withdean (apart from leaving the ground with another 1 or 3 points won) must be mad, the standard of football, game after game, was simply dreadful (with exception of QPR, Plymouth and maybe Sheff Wed)

Coppell got us relegated, I concede. But we played some good stuff under him, had some great results (Forest/Wolves at home for example)

Maybe I'm more of a football purist, but I can't get excited about McGhee and his negative football. Withdean last year was very hard work

If we survive, I don't care if we play less than attractive footie... we need to hang on in there in readiness for our majestic arrival at Falmer... by any means at our disposal... MM shouldn't be criticised for getting results, IMHO...

Adams left us, and won't be back... get over it...

they were supposed to be resuming training soon, although that seems to have been the case for about 6 months now
