There is absolutely no point waiting until Falmer is anounced!
Dowie is a quality manager and we would be pleased to have him with or without the news. If he joins us now, he is hardly likely to jump ship in the next couple of onths before the anouncement. The squad needs continuity not...

He looked nothing special, but neither did McPhee a year ago, and now he's really developing! What is it with Brighton and playing our strikers on the right wing - Freeman, Hart, Marney?
Give him time - another year and he'll be right. :cool:
1. If it's about money i'm sure DK would be happy to arrange a modest salary increase - but Coppell has already said it isn't.
2. By Coppell siting our lack of stadium and lack of cash for players he is 1:
- Making a stronger case for us to Prescott on why we need a new stadium.
