...not happening.

There's a good chance that the club won't sign a recently convicted drink driver as some kind of role model for the U23 players. There's also a good chance that Brighton won't compete with Championship wages to sign an overage player for the U23 side.

This sounds like an interesting story. Wouldn't fancy his chances again El-Abd

Romain Vincelot!

EDIT Just seen that he played on for a year after having a hip resurfacing. Probably not a good idea.

Re-signing for Brighton would be a step-up from his previous employer……I expect a sideways or backward move.

I don't think this one is particularly urgent. However I would also speculate that possibly the role is being kept open for Adam Lallana. Given his injury problems last season, it may be a case of see how pre-season goes and then decide whether he feels his body is up for another season of premier league football.

I recognize Aaron Hughes, Alex Bruce and Joey Barton among that group.

I bet Joey Barton was delighted that he had to do the course with a GIRL on it too:-

Ronny Johnsen, too.

Maybe am wrong but have always thought how a player manages players and respect has is more important than badges. DeZerbi made players believe they could beat anybody.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I'm amazed that no one has suggested that the Albion should bring him back to add to our coaching staff yet.

I mean good luck to him and all that, but just because he graced the club as a player, and a pretty average one at that, doesn't mean we need him back as a coach.

Gary Dicker as Head Coach with Jake Forster-Caskey as his assistant in 2025/26.

You heard it here first.

So Joey Barton, who bangs on about people not being properly qualified, only has an Irish FA coaching badge?

Are you suggesting that it must be one or the other?

You are completely wrong, because out the badges you can't manage in the Premier League. So if anything, the badges are even more important.
