Strange that he should talk to the club, come down for an interview and only decide that the time wasn't right when (allegedly) offered the job!?

This person made his first cup of coffee only three months ago, and then had to phone his wife to guide him through it - like an air traffic controller guiding in a novice after the pilot has had a heart attck. I think managing a professional football team might've been beyond him . . . thankfully, we'll always have his insightful wit as a pundit . . .

I find it staggering that we would go as far as to offer the job to someone with virtually no badges or experience coaching. A least Hyypia has 18 months at Leverkusen. Things went bad quickly under Hyypia but I feel that hiring Neville would have been just as bad (if not worse).

Also, I think it lacks class to openly say "I was offered the job at Brighton".

It says I was offered a job at Brighton. Hyypia's number two perhaps?

Something doesn't ring true here.

He went through the extensive interview process, did well enough to get the job, and then 'bottled out' when he thought that he wasn't ready.

Weird behaviour.

Exactly. We have to swallow our pain and be glad that our loss was broadcasting's gain. To think of all that insight being wasted on Gordon Greer and company instead of being shared with the public...

That's why I don't think he is referring to the manager's position.

More relevantly, how far down the list was Hughton?

 

[drew]

This is a non story. As others have said, nowhere does he say he was offered the manager's job and we know, after the Lee debacle, that we needed a number two.

Quite possibly. Never thought it could be one of the other jobs at the club.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

There are lots of jobs he could've done.... perhaps working in the shop would have suited him?

 

[jimbob5]

phew!
