Great post. It makes a nice change to feel that our manager might actually be quite focused on what he is doing and the future success of our club.

If and I emphasize if it was our Oscar they were after how about Malky to replace him? Would prefer to keep OG to complete the job though.

I believe the other Oscar is a sports scientist so unlikely to be on their management shortlist

Malky got Cardiff promoted with a much larger budget than we have as far as I recall so I sincerely doubt he'd do half as well as Oscar is doing.
I really am struggling to come to terms with the expectations that some on here have with Oscar. Not a dig at you BG btw, just a feeling that we have some very demanding and over expectant fans. In some ways I'd be quite happy to see the moaners stop going to the Amex even though it would reduce the crowds and the revenue, it may improve the atmosphere though. So many match day and NSC moaners

I've GOT my CAR topped up with 4* ready to DRIVE him down. I'd EVEN put Jones in the BOOT as WELL

Wouldn't be that enthused by Malky, but to be honest if Garcia goes I'll have lost all faith in ever being able to get a manager in who'll build anything with the albion without being poached, so quite frankly couldn't care less, and a lot of my love for the whole of the way football is in this country would die.

I would be most pissed off if he left. At the moment he is where Gus was 4 years ago, Gus stopped us from going down in his first half season but he had a few unhappy players, Nicky Forster in particular, with many fans backing the player over the manager.
I truly believe Oscar will make Gus look like Mickey Adams in the long run.

No, we would be better off changing the manager every few months, always works best.

Oscar's doing a great job in my book.
Liam Bridcutt was the lynchpin of Poyet's playing style and for 2 Championship seasons for Gus, Liam missed about 2 or 3 league games in total. Oscar has barely had Liam for more than a couple of games.
Oscar has also had a completely disrupted strike force. Ulloa out for long spells, Barnes finding it difficult to be prolific as a lone front man. To compound this, Buckley has also seen too much of the treatment room, Conway gone back from a loan spell where he really just started to find his feet. The injury to Crofts was a cruel blow for the team from a player well on his way to being player of the year.
And yet, despite all this and being in the role just half a season, we have 40 pts, 10 home games left, 8 away, and our key players all slowly coming back to form and fitness. Keep up the great work OG, I reckon the majority of us at least are still right behind you!
+1. Can't believe some of the responses on here doubting OG's achievements so far.

I was 'upset' when GP left - not just because we were losing a great manager but more importantly the disruption it caused to the progress the team were making.
With OG we have a manager who has done as well as anyone could reasonably expect from any manager. The club is well on the way to getting over the chaos of the managerial changes and next season will prove whether or not OG has the ability to push the team forward and contend for promotion.
To change managers now would put us back to square one and waste another year.

Me neither but then again I'm still trying to work out at what point the Albion became too good for a well respected head coach who learned a lot of his trade at Barcelona as well as winning the championship with MTA.

"He will be assisted by current first team coach Alan Curtis, although it is believed an approach has already been made to Brighton boss Garcia to take over in the long term."

Don't wait for me!
So the Daily Star don't know they have an Oscar Garcia on their payroll either? Quality 'paper'.

I didn't even know the Daily Star still existed until this thread! Have they any track record at all of being right?

I hope that 'everybody quiet is a rumor of a daily!!!'
translates as
' don't worry it's just a rumour printed in a daily newspaper, nothing in it',
but maybe that's just my wishful thinking.
Sorry if already posted but noticed the Mirror has Oscar on the shortlist for the job at Swansea
They ahve already got an Oscar Garcia on their coaching/fitness staff.
