I would love to see Merson as player manager, he is quality and would provide class in midfield.

Would we have to pay him in £20 notes?

Thinking back, Merson was really hacked off with travelling backwards and forwards to portsmouth from the Midlands last year...

so this is a non-starter.

It wont happen, he signed for Walsall because he wanted to finish his career and live in the black country, where his family are.

This can't be true, the bloke is living on the edge all the time. He has to report to a councillor every week to make sure he does'nt go back on the booze or gamble. He slipped off the wagon at Pompey and nearly lost it again, this story is complete arse although I'd love to see him play for the Albion.

he's great for 5 games at the start of the season, then he fades. Like he did with Pompey, and like he is now doing with Walsall.

When things don't go his way, he just moans about how hard his life is, and how he's in danger of relapsingzzzzz.

From Ananova:-

Seagulls dismiss Merson link

Brighton have dismissed reports suggesting Walsall midfielder Paul Merson could be set to take over as manager at the Withdean as "paper talk".

As speculation surrounding Steve Coppell's departure to Reading rages on, the former England star's name was reported to be at the top of the Seagulls' short-list to replace him.

However, a club spokesperson said: "With the amount of speculation going on at the moment, the chairman may have someone in mind if it was to come to that.

"But, our situation remains the same as it was. Steve Coppell is still our manager and it would be inappropriate to comment while this is the case.

"It would be wrong to jump the gun."




I wonder who the spokesperson is and why he's anonymous....

Call me a stuffy stickler if you will (and I've certainly answered to worse) but I'd rather the new Albion manager doesn't A) piss in the bed B) chuck his wife down the stairs or C) thrash the crap out of his girlfriend in pubs.

Surely that dismisses EVERY link..... not just Merson
