McGhee "happy to help"

[Not Andy Naylor]

by Andy Naylor

Mark McGhee is interested in returning to Albion as interim manager.


The Seagulls' former boss, now Scotland's No.2 to Gordon Strachan, says he would be happy to help the club out.


Albion are looking for a caretaker to oversee pre-season while they deal with Gus Poyet's appeal against his sacking last night.


McGhee, Albion chief from 2003-2006, still lives locally and has no Scotland commitments until their friendly against England at Wembley in August.


Asked by The Argus if he would be prepared to step in, McGhee said: "Of course I would. I still have contact with people at the club.

"I am here and available and if they wanted me for a couple of weeks without prejudice then absolutely, I would be willing to help them."

A real man,with moral fibre and a back bone,should be honoured by his offer

Mark McGhee, Drinking pints of whisky!

 

[Rookie]

What joy

 

[Icy Gull]

It's a yes from me, a man who knows the club, lives locally and tells it like it is. Having actually been a manager here before would make him a pretty good interim boss IMO. Whether it will happen is something else altogether.

 

[supaseagull]

No no no no no

 

[severnside gull]

achieved a great deal with no money to spend - his "offer" (solicited as it was by the Argus) should be appreciated.

But following on from a story saying David Lopez would return if we had a similar style manager to Gus....... ........ ?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

A very kind gesture. Could do a lot worse.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i am sorry i dont want Mark McGhee anywhere near our great club even if its short term

 

[Return of the Rev]

Any man that can get guy butters fit is good enough for me to take charge of pre-season

 

[PWA]

Feel like I'm in a time warp.

"Drinking pints of whiskey"

McCammon, get off the bus!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I think it's a nice touch to say "Yes, I'd help" and also to say no commitment required. Regardless of whether he's the right man or not it shows the character in a good light. ..... that said, not for me!

 

[soistes]

As an interim solution for a few weeks only, while sorting Gus's appeal, this could work quite well imo. The key thing, however, would be to make sure,
in that case, that the temporary appointment did not drift into something longer-term.
However, if the club is confident of the case against Gus, I still think it'd be better to get in the person they really want now, as an interim, with a contract option for the longer-term which could be activated as and when the Gus business is finalised.

The arrogance of the the albion fans these last two years has been disgusting

i am sorry i dont want mark mcghee anywhere near our great club even if its short term

I posted this suggestion on another thread yesterday as speculation. Obviously the Argus were thinking along the same lines.

 

[Springal]

A kind gesture? Hes not doing it for free.
