Would Tanno make a good number one?

I think both Tanno and Chas would go with Gus when he leaves.

I very much doubt Oatway would follow Gus out. He has more history with our club and appears to love it here

Charlie lives and breathes the community, the club, and all that is The Albion.
No way would he go anywhere if a manager leaves!

As for MT, I suspect he sometimes might feel invisible when Gus is getting the plaudits.
He's our part of Argentina at Falmer, a foil for GP who helps make things tick

Or do you think he is happy to always be Gus' number two?

I only ask because it strikes me that the very best outcome of our lord and saviour Gus Poyet one day leaving the club, is to have Tanno carry on the good work, thereby minimising the disruption and loss of momentum.

We all know there's nobody else out there fit to lick the great man's boots right now

Tanno is a lovely boke who came out of retirement to work with Gus,unfortunately lovely blokes do not make good managers.

I've not seen him in goal so I think it would be premature to give him the #1 shirt

Couldn't do worse than some of Brez's recent efforts.

I don't think that Tanno will stay when Gus leaves and will probably go with him. I also think that it is a situation we are not going to need to worry about for few years as I believe that Gus is here for the long haul with a job to do that he will see through to the end.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

I agree; I'm not saying assistants can never make good managers, but rather that it's difficult to make the move within the same club. Hughton obviously did really well at Newcastle, but disasters like Little Sam taking over from Big Sam at Bolton is more common, I think. Depends on the individuals concerned though, of course.

That was proved by Gus becoming No1 after being No 2 to Dennis Wise. I think that Tanno is very underated and if inclined be a No1,he knows the game and is happy for Gus to take the plaudits,not for us though as I think he will follow Gus or retire.

I had the privilege to have a long old chat with Tanno at the end of last season. He is a wonderful bloke, quiet, subtle but a joy to talk to. He taught me more about football in that conversation that i have learnt in the rest of my life. His footballing brain is the size of a planet and would be a tactical genius as a manager but he would need a vocal assistant to do the shouting (Charlie?). He really loves the club, respects the chairman and was amazed at the support Brighton get away (he honestly was amazed). Oh and he has a good sense of humour!

I did get the impression he was happy being an assistant, he and gus obviously get on very,very well and i think would follow him where ever he goes. Football managers is a cut throat business but it plain to see that Gus is destined for greatness and i believe he'll take Tanno with him every step of the way.

I can't remember when it was, but in an interview last year sometime Gus said that wherever he goes, he's taking Oatway with him. Of course, that doesn't mean Charlie would leave, but I think Gus would do his best to persuade him.

I heard that same interview, and I think Chas would follow him unless it was abroad.

I heard the same interview I think it was about the same time or to do with the publication of Charlies book.

The ONLY man that could ever replace Gus is Marcelo Bielsa.
