Norwich set to unveil Hughton as new manager

[Horsham Gull]

Press conference called for 1430 so Gus to Birmingham then?

Congrats and good luck Chris Hughton.

Decent manager and a top, top bloke.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Nice to see him back in the Premier League.

This.

Good appointment, just needs to pull the Norwich ship back together

 

[HantsSeagull]

just so i am clear then - its now just Birmingham and Swansea with a vacancy?? lost track

Yup, at the moment. However, Gus will no doubt be manager at both as well as us,if football rumours are to be believed!

And Hull, although that will probably go to Steve Bruce. Only really Swansea who need to fill their manager vacancy - then we know Gus will be staying.

I've never known a managerial merry-go-round like this close season

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Looks like poor old Gus will have to stay with us.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Birmingham have massive financial problems and young is still locked up isn't he?
Doubt Gus would go there.

no that would be highly unlikely in my view - still concerned about swansea tho

 

[BensGrandad]

Swansea is the only worry but having been turned down by them once I cant see him going there, I would think that he is too proud and they would have to beg him virtually.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Swansea only get 20k in the premiership, we'll beat that figure this season. Gus plans the training ground, the pitch and the whole project here at Brighton. He also will get a team with the 10th biggest season ticket holders. I don't think he had any idea about that when he started here. Can Swansea give him that?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Well their stadium does only have a capacity of 20k compared to our 27k for the start of next season

It is also cheap and nasty at only 27million.

Calm Down Lads

I honestly cannot see any vacant manager's position, at the moment, which should cause us fans any sleeplessness, because Gus will not go to Birmingham for one, I will eat my hat if he moved to Swansea (smaller potentially than the Albion), and any others cropping up at the moment are rubbish compared with what he has here. The only thing which would make GP consider any of them would be if TB told him "absolutely no funds for transfers". Even if Spurs came up (?), I doubt if Levy would consider GP ready for that yet.

Remember also he is South East based with family etc., and not going to uproot for anything less than a major appointment.

BUT,remember also, even if Gus does walk at some point in the future, 'Little Old Brighton' is going to attract some pretty decent applicants to replace him so, considering where we have got to already, I ain't panicking.

 

[AMEXican Wave]

Gus would be insane to go to Birmingham at the moment with their troubles, and THEY SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD the compensation.

I would be absolutely stunned, also, if Gus chose to go to Swansea now.
