I notice that Darren Ferguson has been called into a board meeting to discuss Peterbrough's bad start to the season. Now he would be a great manager in my opinion - can spot a nurture lower league talent, good links to premier league clubs. The whole Falmer thing but be able to persuade him too

New manager to be announced on TUESDAY *~*~*
- Thread starter Giraffe
- Start date
"any manager who looked at the squad we have would fancy themselves to get us ou of this mess and there are more than enough games to make strides up the table between now and may"
If I were a manager taking over this lot I'd be wary at the lack of fighting spirit they have shown so far at the club, if not doing it for Slade, then themselves as players who hate to lose, we haven't seen it yet from them and no way will they compete with the top half of the league without it.

Steve Coppell's record at home with Reading last season for the last 9 matches
DLLDLLDLL
Looks like he would be well suited to the shit home form at the Withdean.

How much did his squad cost? I'd wager, less than any other team in the Premiership last season? Silk purse and sow's ear spring to mind, although he did pretty well overall at Reading didn't he?

Thanks Greens :(
Surely by then he'd decided he was going to bale and perhaps his motivation was on the wane?
He'd be refreshed and up for a challenge now I'd have thought

“We are working hard to secure the right manager for the club. We cannot put a timescale on it. We may have a manager in by Saturday, we may not, we really do have no idea. "

That would suggest that the title of this thread has the whiff of some bollocks about it.

Er...? They were in the Championship last season weren't they?
We've noticed!

Or seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth etc.... so far as I'm concerned. He's a poisonous little shit who I wouldn't want anywhere near our club.
For me, if he wants it, Coppell has to be the choice. Forget the 'never go back' crap in his case because he didn't want to go in the first place. He does well wherever he goes, he gets the best out of the players and he damn near kept us in the Championship against all the odds when he was last here.
Could he get us out of this mess with the quality of players (Bennett, Fozzy, Dicker, Jimmy Mac etc... just for starters) that we have now? Too bloody right he could.

I seem to have forgotten they made the playoffs last season and got relegated the previous season

Thanks to Guinness Dave
Havent we learnt anything from bringing Adams, Booker, Virgo etc back?
people kept saying the same old saying all the time when they wanted Adams back and that was DONT GO BACK IN FOOTBALL!
So why is it so diffrent now?

What would be the point of never going back to Withdean to watch a match again?

I'd love to have Coppell back, top class manager. As for don't go back ask the Stoke fans what they think about Tony Pulis second time round.

Or Redknapp's 2nd spell at Pompey - they won the FA Cup and played in Europe FFS.

Re: Gary Nelsons left foot
Would be great if it was Coppell. I can't think of a single time in his career where he's not done well. Gets the best out of his players and has a good eye for a player.
Wise doesn't have experience managing at a higher level does he?
Curbishley would be good, but unlikley I'd guess.
Southgate?! Why would he? Why would we want him?
Is steve cotterill in work at the moment?
My worst nightmare is listening to the press conference and they say
...And I`d like to introduce the new brighton manager, Steve Co..., then the radio cuts out and I`m beeming that its coppell, I get the radio tuned in again and its Steve Cotterill!!!! Aaaarrrgghh!!!!!! Hoof Hoof Hoof!!!!!
why does anyone think he`d be good for us
Is cotterill a bit shit then? I've never seen one of his teams play. I just have a vague idea that he took Burnley to the championship play offs a couple of times, which seemed a pretty good effort.

I know it's a general truism in football that you shouldn't go back but there always exceptions. What makes me think that Coppell would be one of the exceptions is that he went back to Palace twice and was succesful both times. Plus he's done well at every club he's been at(man city doesn't count...).
