Your best Albion Boss since 1974

[Buzzer]

Cattlin
Adams
Gritt

in that order for me. I idolised Chris Cattlin as a nipper.

Mike Bailey managed to reduce the average crowd by about 10,000 with his brand of 'exciting' football.

And our highest position ever.

Do the results match the age profile on NSC?

Billy Lane was best for me!

 

[Gully]

For me it is:

1. Gritt
2. Adams
3. Lloyd

 

[*Gullsworth*]

1) Mullery (the first)
2)Adams
3)Coppell (who will prove to be the most successful Ex Albion manager)

Ive only followed the albion since 1991 so I wouldnt know anyone before Lloyd.

But IMHO id say that mr Steve Gritt is the best Albion manager I have seen.

With Mickey Adams a very close second. We were expected to do well that season under adams(taking nothing away from him) as he bulit a legendary side, but when Gritt came in no-one gave us a hope of staying up. 12 points adrift in october and he saved us, with all the off field problems aswell.

Steve Gritt=

Cant believe Steve Coppell hs got so many votes.

 

[bhafc]

steve gritt, where would we be now
if he never kept us up ??

 

[Dandyman]

Mullery (the first time). In todays terms he took us from League 1 (Division 3) to the Premiership (Division 1).

 

[beardy gull]

well as ive only had two differnet managers......

Wilkins

vote for him then, that's the idea.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Mark McGhee, closely followed by Barry Lloyd.

 

[Trigger]

Memories of Mullery, Catlin & Melia very hazy, not old enough to remember Clough, Taylor I & Bailey so my list excluding that lot is as follows...

Micky Adams
Steve Coppell
Steve Gritt
Peter Taylor II
Barry Lloyd
Dean Wilkins
Brian Horton
Liam Brady
Bob Booker
Jimmy Case
Jeff Wood
Martin Hinshelwood
Mark McGhee

Taylor 1.


Mullery completely inherited the potential-greatness legacy from Taylor. :

What about Steve Foster,Mark Lawrenson & Gary Williams. Who bought those in?

 

[glasfryn]

they were good times under micky but I am afraid my vote goes to mullers they were great times.

and of coarse I am talking the first time

 

[BensGrandad]

My all time favourite weas Billy Lane but that was long before 1974.

Since then it has to be Mullery first time no other manger gets anywhere near him. The 2nd time I belive he was used by the Blooms to get Barry Lloyd in, who was then manager of Worthing and I believe Ray Bloom was Chairman or had a big influence and wanted BL here.

 

[Spunk Bubble]

Taylor 1.

No contest for me, as he created an Albion with higher quality and aspirations, out of traditional and perrennial non-achieving 3rd Division 'Southern-league' lot - once a place for lesser-talent cloggers and codgers.
Mullery completely inherited the potential-greatness legacy from Taylor. Not to underestimate how he dealt with what he got, as he became an Albion legend from his half-time gee-ups, his deployment of players, and the respect he himself had as a WC winning veteran player.

Yes, we have had some excellent managers who made enigmatic impressions on our club, but for me it was Peter Taylor 1st that founded the team of hope and (a little) glory.

R.I.P., and thanks

Mullery wasn't a World Cup winning player !!

 

[El Presidente]

Steve Gritt gets my vote, without him there would be no Albion today.

 

[Big Jim]

Chris Catlin for me.


Does he still own the Brighton Rock Shop on the Seafront?

 

[Deleted User X18H]

yep

 

[coventrygull]

Steve Gritt for keeping us in the league and Mullery for taking us to Division 1.
