Albion looking at Paolo di Canio....

[brightn'ove]

stuff like this makes me laugh as they could do business any where, why does it have to be at the ground? I understand players need medicals, but signing contracts and discussing terms?

clubs usually have their offices situated at the ground to be fair.

 

[mistahclarke]

Maybe you missed the point,He wasn't there to sign a player.

Edit. Just passing on what I've been told.

Didn't miss the point - I meant any football business, including manager terms discussion and contract signing

 

[looney]

why the f*** would the club be looking for a replacement for a manager who hasnt left?

One "if" isn't enough anymore, by the ne season it will be 5 OR more.

If Roy Hodgsen resigns and if he is replaced by Redknapp and if poyet goes to spurs and if we get a good replacement will we sign Zamora if he is unsettled at QPR?

 

[chrissyboy01]

...if Gus decides to go elsewhere. According to Sunday Express, us, West Ham and Swansea are keeping tabs if they lose their managers.

Well?

Could do a job?

 

[Rugrat]

Not a chance (I sincerely hope) I just can't believe he's the sort that TB would have any time for at all

Managing for one season and taking the hot favourites out of L2 is hardly the track record we would be looking for ... admittedly can't stand the geezer and would be horrified if he even got a sniff

This is going to be a LONG summer. Thank god for the euros and Olympics!

and Le tour.

By jove I think you're onto something Looney.

We should have a new rule, no unsubstantiated rumour thread to be started unless it contains a minimum of 5 'if's'.

I was just about to do a Drogba example, but that then falls foul of the unsubstantiated part.

I've always dreamed of having a famed fascist as the il duce of my club. I hope to god that dream never comes in the slightest true. I'd struggle to chant in his favour.

I love how angry people get when someone posts some Gossip. I was just passing on something I have been told but alas the good natured folk of NSC get stroppy about it

[MENTION=6376]The Lemming Stomper[/MENTION] you were right!

Take him over Poyet any day as Gus won't get us another promotion.

interesting comment..... genuinely interested to know, why do you think that?

 

[Braders]

Wouldn't be gutted with the decision , be gutted if Poyet left but not with the replacement.

 

[Hamilton]

Maybe Gus was at this Hawthorns...

The Hawthorns School Prep School in Surrey - boys and girls 2 - 13 years

he's off to P*l*ce then..

 

[MACROBLUE]

I didn't want to start a new thread but, a good friend of mine told me yesterday that Gus spent the day at the Hawthorns. His source is an associate of Tony Bloom. No idea if it's true but he has no reason to make anything up

Yes I must admit that doesn't sound good if it is true. I think he is in big demand after our season.

Paolo Di Canio would not leave Swindon for Brighton. Much like Poyet won't leave Brighton for anything less than a top job, there's no way Di Canio will leave Swindon for us.

 

[salty seagull]

Really? Our Jewish chairman is keen to sign a Fascist manager who has been photographed giving a Nazi salute? There`s more chance of the largely Jewish support of Tottenham cheering on a German team.

Why on earth do you think Di Canio would not want to leave Swindon for a much bigger club. It's a natural progression for him. That said I hope he never turns up here.

No, you see it as natural progression. Di Canio wouldn't know Brighton from a hole in the wall. If we're a Premier League team in a few years time and Poyet moves on, THEN Di Canio might have heard of us. But in the meantime, I think some of us need to wind our necks in a little bit. The assumption that every manager in the game would bend over backwards to get the managers job here is extremely wide of the mark.
