Mullers got us to the top of the pile; Mike Bailey got us to 7th in the top flight of English Footy. Both = 1st.

Reckon Gus might surpass both of them though given time.

May not have the "trophies" but built the foundations that took the Albion to the promised land

I love Mullers,of course I do,but what did he do at the other clubs he went to

He has alot to thank Peter Taylor for,as we all did back then

He may have built some good foundations, but Peter Taylor had two disappointing seasons as Albion manager. The first when Albion almost got relegated to the bottom division as he struggled to get a wholly new team to gel. The second when the side failed to get promoted due to very poor away form and choking at the death.

It took Mullery's motivational powers and his bravery to ditch top scorer Fred Binney in favour of a reserve striker to change Albion into a promotion side.

Mullery presently.

Gus has a lot of work to do to emulate him.

Certainly. He'd have to get Brighton into the top flight this season and keep them there for the next two campaigns.

Although Brighton reached as high as 5th in the early stages of 1981/82, the club finished in the bottom half under Mike Bailey.

Well I was there on the terraces and saw the change,remember what he inherited?

Mullers did great no doubt,but if he'd taken the reins when Peter Taylor had,would he'd been so successful

Romantic notions of dropping Binney for Ward got us promoted are just that

I think Taylor and Mullery were both good for each other in terms of their place in history. Without Taylor's side, Mullery may not have got promoted so quickly or at all. Without Mullery to deliver promotion so quickly, Taylor's legacy would have been forgotten.

I may be wrong but I was always under the impression that 7th was the highest we ever reached

Winning 1-0 at Wolves in September 1981 got us briefly to 5th place.

Opps, same source. You can use Mike Bamber as the Goodwin option!

If you contact a mod, they'll be able to change it...
