Brighton's Best Manager

[drew]

In a challenge to the, presumbably, youth oriented voting of the FL125 poll, what exactly is the view of NSC which hopefully will have a broader cross section of voters (or possibly not!).

 

[Seasidesage]

Gawd. Here we go. For me the best is Gus followed by Peter Taylor who bought most of the players who took us up to the first.

For all his undoubted faults, Gus Poyet turned around a team struggling to survive in league one and turned it into a side good enough to finish fourth in the Championship without spending a extravagant budget.

It has to be Peter Taylor, for bringing us Peter Ward.

So why isn't he an option?

 

[WhingForPresident]

What about SALDE?

Mullery.

 

[Luke93]

Forgot Oscar, playoff winner 2014

 

[Puppet Master]

Coppell

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I went Mullery because he's the only manager to take us to the top tier. But hovered over Bailey because whatever you think about his football, we did very very well.

Just to correct the obvious mistake, Mullery's promotions were 77 and 79!

 

[B.W.]

Mullers! No contest.

 

[Hove Seagull]

Like the song goes:
Alan Mullery's blue and white army

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I do not understand why anyone would NOT vote for Mullery. Who could have doen any better?

 

[Deano's Invisible Pants]

Steve Gritt should be on this list. His achievement trumps those of any other Albion manager.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I do not understand why anyone would NOT vote for Mullery. Who could have doen any better?

Potentially many people...but we will never know!


Why have these not been included?

McGee (winner)

Slade (Savior)

Taylor (winner)

Gritt (savior)

 

[glasfryn]

without a doubt it is Mullers
never been a better time for the Albion

 

[Hamilton]

Given what he had to work with, I've voted Barry Lloyd.

Unlike Mullery, Bailey and Melia and Poyet, Lloyd was constantly having to sell his best assets and deal with a lot of strife off the pitch. Like Adams, he carefully managed what he had. To get us to within 90 minutes of top flight football given those constraints, my vote goes to him.

Not the most popular guy - didn't make the most popular decisions - but he kept us going.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

People shouldnt forget 78 as well. So close to promotion at the first attempt. Mullers never let us down.

[Bognor Bystander]

Went for Mullers (not in a physical random act of violence kind of way) as I moved to Sussex in '76 and started Glory hunting shortly thereafter !

 

[BLOCK F]

Mullery.
Not only did he get us out of the 3rd and into the 1st Division,but the football we played was almost always exciting.
Never a dull moment with Mullers.
