Favourite Brighton Manager of all time??

[severnside gull]

Archie Macaulay ................... halcyon days

 

[Archibald Leach]

Micky Adams......what joys we had ! ! ! !

Alan Mullery.........who'd have ever thought we'd be in Div. 1

Anyone who say's Bailey or Lloyd will be shot at dawn.

:hammer:

Actually Peter taylor ( in teh 70's) was one of the best managers we ever had

Brady - because he was the manager when I first started to watch the Albion. I remember watching intently as he talked to the fans who were holding a half-time protest in the centre circle - was that against Notts County?

would that be the same Mike Bailey under whom we had our highest ever league placing??

Best

Adams
Mullery
Cattlin
Taylor

Worst
Lloyd
Lardy Jocko Clown

Based in part on approachability and lack of BS.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Micky , even the second time round doesn't take the shine off the first.

I agree

 

[Trufflehound]

Peter Taylor mark 1, then Mullery

 

[Cloughie]

Steve Gritt

 

[Brovion]

My favourite is still Mullery simply because of what we achieved under him, they were the best days of my Albion life. An honourable mention for Cattlin and I'm pleased he's got a good set of nominations.

(If we're talking best manager as opposed to favourite for me it would be a three-way fight between Freddie Goodwin, Coppell and McGhee)

Dick Knight

Although some of the teams he picked were suspect

I bet he wood.

Brian Horton

 

[FamilyGuy]

Jimmy Melia - for some great days out!!!

Based on "favourite" not "best"

 

[zefarelly]

Mullery (1st time) reason . . .you can;t argue with getting a small club to the top tier

Melia, for a few great months, you can't argue with an FA cup final,

Catlin. quality through adversity

Adams first time . . . .possibly the most successful sustained period in the clubs history, albeit at a low level.

 

[severnside gull]

Oh dear I am feeling old

where is freddie goodwin when you need him? Possibly one of the few on here who could remember back to the days of macaulay/goodwin/saward

 

[supaseagull]

Cattlin - Bled blue & white and got stabbed in the back by Bedson
Adams - Don't let the second coming fool you...The first time around he was a legend
Coppell - Technically the best manager ever to manage the Albion

Second best
Gritt - He SAVED us
Melia - FA Cup run
Horton - The beginning of the rebirth of the Albion

Worst
Lloyd
Jimmy Case
Jeff Wood
Martin Hinshelwood
