According to Meridian.....

[Zeitgeist]

Leroy is the even money favourite for the Albion job. DK has asked Torquay permission to speak to him....

 

[berkshire seagull]

Yet another very cheap option if thats the case

 

[Robot Chicken]

I thought DK wasn't going to do that. What kind of compensation would we have to pay? What has Leroy achieved?

 

[dwayne]

it would be cheaper to appoint a manger out of work surely??!!??

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Not necessarily - see Brighton Bird's another manager thread for further details. However, it appears Torquay may want some compensation so I don;t see it as a cheap option.

 

[Yorkie]

Apparently it is a rolling contract so not quite the same thing?

 

[berkshire seagull]

Thats a real sign of us going places or is it til the albion crumble after the falmer decision.

There's news on the Torquay site now:

http://www.torquayunited.premiumtv.co.uk/page/LatestNewsDetail/0,,10445~442053,00.html

Their Chairman says that he knew Leroy would be interested in going to a big club but he didn't think Brighton fell into that category.

Obviously a clever man.

We ain't a big club. We ain't a massive club. We are Brighton.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Yeah but reading are a big club and get 11k

 

[Trigger]

I 'd take him well above Booker, Cotterill, Gray & Rix

 

[E Block Ernie]

I 'd take him well above Booker, Cotterill, Gray & Rix

So would the Albion Real Supporters

 

[berkshire seagull]

Don't mind who it is as long as they are strict and speak there mind.

from torquay site

Speculation is mounting that Leroy Rosenior is on the shortlist for the vacant management job at Brighton. Some sources believe that the two parties will meet soon_to discuss terms.

Torquay United Chairman Mike Bateson refused to comment on whether he had been approached by his Brighton counterpart Chairman Dick Knight but said, "I’ve heard that Brighton are interested in Leroy but, according to rumours, so is every other club with a management vacancy. The Brighton Chairman will certainly follow the unofficial rules if he wants to speak to Leroy. I am aware that Leroy would be interested in joining a big club but I didn’t think that Brighton fitted into that category. I will be extremely disappointed if there is any fact behind the rumour."

"Leroy has a one year rolling contract and we would require compensation if he was to leave us for another club but I hope it doesn’t come to that."

In response to a further question he answered, "Leroy will travel with the squad to Boston on Friday and will most certainly be in charge on Saturday."

It's amazing to think that this domino effect can be traced back to Roeder's health and beyond. Now Torquay are potentially being pulled into it, and if they lose their manager to us the dominos will just keep falling as Torquay go looking elsewhere for a replacement.

 

[Dunkstar]

As long as it's from Rosenior,Dowie or Cotterill i don't mind!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I can't understand the excitement over Rosenior, hardly a proven commodity.

 

[the right footed denilson]

id be up for this

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Was his name ever mentioned by anyone ever?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

if we go to div 3 rather have Gary Johnson

 

[Dunkstar]

We're not going to steal anyone who is firmly attached!
