If Dickinson figure is true surely that would include the wages involved over the term of the contract rather than any straight fee.....surely.

If Southgate gets it, then Tony Bloom can f*** right off as far as I'm concerned

I think for the good of Brighton and Hove Albion it would be better if you f***ed off...What do you give to the club? Have you got squillions? No thought not..
Can someone please explain to my why so many posters spent the last few months or even years bemoaning the fact that the managers we had employed had to work with the existing coaching set up and couldn't bring in their own choice but now take great delight in pairing up prospective candidates such as Taylor and Southgate. As far as I am aware, they haven't worked together. Surely, if we employ a manager it is down to him who he wants as his assistant and coach.
Indeed
But Taylor has been on record stating that although he no longer wants a managers job, he would be interested in the Albion's no.2 job.
And due to the OP's statement of "It's Southgate" I said that I would be very happy of that pairing !
I'm not saying it will happen, merely that in my opinion it would be a very good set up

There are plenty of people on here who are forever making stuff up and claiming to be "in the know", but East Preston Gull doesn't spring to mind as one of them.
For what it's worth, I'm inclined to believe what he's saying. We are only talking "applied for" in the case of Southgate, and it doesn't surprise me that he would apply for it, wanting to get straight back on the horse.
The Dickinson money is whole, but that is the way football is going I'm afraid. £650k doesn't get you 6 Bobby Zamoras I'm afraid, it gets you a young striker who has tried and failed to impress at a higher level. Derby bought hiom for £1m a year ago, they weren't going to sell him for a fiver were they.

All of the original post is plausible - I think the figure quoted was £350,000 - with signing on fee and agents fees and wages could be around £650,000.
Why do people always want named sources ? most people will know somebody that works for the club , or a friend of a friend. We are in a lot of ways a small club. I hear things from time to time - I wouldn't give my source, why would you drop a mate in it by posting his name on a web site ? If sources have to be named yes we cut out the BS but you will also cut out the juicy stuff. Make your own mind up - if you don't like rumours/gossip don't read the thread.

Not that I am advocating Southgate but at least give Bloom the benefit of the doubt. If he thinks Southgate is the man for the job, then we should all get behind him, as with anyone who we bring in.
NSC has been at it's worst all week. Normally we hear a lot more news from the club but Bloom is trying to conduct negotiations the right way and people are making up stories so they seem in the know. Bloom might surprise us with a great appointment and if it is Southgate, then just get behind him rather than slagging him and Bloom off.

Lets just remember it's not just about the manager that comes in it's also about the quality of the coaching staff he brings in with him as well, There's abosolutely no reason why Southgate could'nt do a damn good job at the Albion if he brought in the right coaching team with him. Just because he did'nt do that well in the premier league there's no reason to think he could'nt do a good job lower down the league's just as there's some damn good managers lower down who probably would'nt cut it in the premier. Why dont you just wait and see what manager/ coaching team gets brought in and see what sort of job they do before you start spitting your dummy?

I think that's a really good point. The last appointment, we just seemed to know far too much. It didn't help that we all knew Gannon was THE CHOICE and that he then turned us down. I don't think we should hear anything until they are unveiling the new man.

Rumours circulating that the vultures are circling for Ten Hag, two poor results in the next 5 days will see him leave the club and United's number one choice for replacement is GSouth and they are willing to make him the highest paid manager in the PL to get their man.

With his track record of league relegation at both club and country level, I can't think of anyone better.

Battle of the wet blankets for that job, Southgate v Potter, neither of whom have any notable track record of handling primadonna/big name foreign players.
