[Albion] Next Brighton manager

[Cowfold Seagull]

^ If Forest were in the Championship and us in the PL I could maybe understand people thinking their manager might come to us, but in the same division, irrespective of relative positions or squads, no way is that going to happen.

BHA < Forest

Well Potter moved from the Albion to Chelsea, both teams in the Premier League.

I think we could assume Forest are a bigger club than the Albion sadly, on top of what seems a very large transfer budget as well.

Would Marinakis be as understanding as Tony Bloom though,if and when things started to go wrong or took time to gel on the pitch? I have my doubts.

There are lots of other things to consider, it isn'tjust about the size of the club, but future potential too.

Someone has probably said this but I am going to add my thoughts anyway. From what I read , the current league position of his club will be less important to Bloom and Barber than the nature of the man and his football ideas. PB wrote about the ethos of the club and the new man will be one who shares that ,and understands the playing style.
Probably a man we have never heard of…..

WAS a very large transfer budget. Doubt FFP will allow them the same again if they stay up.

Historically yes, in terms of trophies won, yes, in terms of the willingness to randomly throw money around yes. But otherwise, the size of club is the same and Albion are far more likely to remain established at and above this level than Forest. That said, I cannot see Cooper leaving them after being backed so firmly by the chairman, which was his reason for leaving Swansea after all.

Indeed.

They’ve spent all of their 22/23 EPL prize money and more where as we have just added around £80m (net player/manager transfer profit) to our £130m EPL pot from last year and have not got close to spending any of our 22/23 prize money.

Exciting to see so many juve fans calling for de zerbi to be appointed at their club. Allegri not popular. If he's that highly thought of by one of the biggest clubs in the world he can't be too shabby.

Would love to see Steve Cooper get the gig. Tried and tested in English football . . . and lots of other reasons too.

See my thread on him.

Given that he is currently with a club with some history, and an apparent willingness, now, to spend far more than us on players, I would be astonished if Cooper applies for the job (or agrees to a chat). If he does, I would regard it as quite a coup.

Don't know about that. The only reason he will speak to us is if , as reported in a few places , the forest owner is a complete nutjob.

Is this where I make a sweeping generalisation about the Greeks and [MENTION=23343]Baldseagull[/MENTION] rushes in to call me out?

Is this piece from 2016 one of those reports?

You might get away with stating that they tend to speak Greek, but I wouldn’t push it.

OK, well it won't be the only reason, will it? It may be necessary but it won't be sufficient.

Norwegians are much calmer, can see Bloom favouring that.

 

[bobbysmith01]

Not sure about any of these. The foreign managers do not have any experience in this country and they would need a lot of back up in the coaching department as it's been decimated, so not sure. Cooper? Why would he leave Forest? Plus not sure I like his style of football. Who knows and I trust Bloom and Barber but not sure any of the names quoted are right for the job.

He said Norwegians are much calmer! Ban him! We can't have sweeping generalisations like that! Seriously offensive stuff. I need a lie down.

Or a woman? or even a they?

Indeed, and if he were happy to leave Forest for us, I wouldn't want him, as I'm sure he'd be happy to leave us too.
