New manager question on racing post tv

[akipling]

Someone emailed a question in for Barry Silkmen to answer "in his capacity as a football agent, does he have any idea who's going to be the next manager at Brighton"

Silkmen replies "I actually know the owner Tony Bloom and his brother Darren who I know even better and it's a real strange scenario whats happening which I can't talk about on air. At the moment they're just trying to sort themselves out and yes I do have a good idea who it's going to be but I can't really say on air as the manager is still under contract"

Well that sounds to me like someone is defo on his way!

 

[Bladders]

Interesting ....

 

[B.W.]

Ooh! Exciting!

Unfortunately could refer to the current manager or the new one.

This has to come to a conclusion soon. I agree that it's a "strange situation". I understand it's common in some industries, but not really in mine or Football.

People that senior are usually gone or put on gardening leave in the football industry. However, wouldn't be surprised if FFP has led in some way to the delay for a number of reasons. In the sense that any out lay / compensation affects the playing budget directly ?

Made me think over the last few days generally. Perhaps what has happened here will become either more common or contracts will be changed in the future because of FFP.

The football industry cannot continue to pay unrealistic wages whilst offering long contracts and expect the fans to make up the short fall.

If Gus did end up moving on (for whatever reason) I wonder whether we'd announce his departure on the same day as the arrival of the new manager, whoever it may be? Would be a good PR move I'd of imagined.

Sounds to me like Barry Silkman bullshitting.

Yeah possibly. Just wiki'd him and he has 48 apps for palace!

No, although I suppose I could give an answer like the one Barry Silkman did and then say "I knew all along" when the name is revealed.

I'm sure Tony Bloom has a Plan B, C, D and beyond in place should we need a new manager for any reason - but I've no idea who they are, and no idea why he would let Silkman know. Darren Bloom may have his ideas, but they might not be the same as his brother's ...

There is an obvious connection between Silkman and the Blooms though.

At last some real news that tells us more than the Argus has!

i would like the club to announce the new manager - and at the bottom quietly say "and poyet left."

but this would mean we looked for and interviewed manager/s while poyet was under contract....is this allowed?

it would be funny if we held the stalemate until fulham and swansea are sorted - then poyet would have no job and i would laugh my tits off.

then poyet would have no job and i would laugh my tits off.

Do you live your life like that?

Might also suggest that the investigation was decided before it concluded or maybe before it even commenced. I think they'll be a week delay between Poyet leaving and the new manager being confirmed.
