Possible candidates for Brighton and Hove Albion manager.

[murraymints4brighton]

Here are a list of some of the top/high profile guys out of work.
.Tony Adams
.John Barness
.Steve Coppell
.Alan Curbishley
.Steve Cotterill
.Gareth Southgate
.Bryan Gunn
.Paul Jewell
.Kevin Keegan
.David O,Learly
.Glenn Roeder
.Graeme Souness
.Peter Taylor
.Dennis Wise
They a few of many but are all the best or in John Barness case, high profile. I have heard on here rumors of Barness, Coppell, Wise and Souness. Maybe Taylor, Adams or even Southgate are realistic options.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Is aidy boothroyd still out of work? On that list I would say coppell is the best but it would be quite hypocritical to get him after everyone said "never go back" after Adams failure.

I would LOVE alan curbishly to come here though.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Boothroyd's at Colchester.

We may not necessarily get someone who's out of work, you know!!

 

[Northstander]

Keeeeeegan

 

[Notters]

Claridge?

 

[hitony]

Boothroyd's at Colchester.

We may not necessarily get someone who's out of work, you know!!

Exactly, thats why I ask, why is the likes of Alex Ferguson, Harry Rednapp, Wenger, to name but a few, are not on the list

We are a big club you know.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

Keeeeeegan

I don't really know why I put him up there Other possibility's are Leroy Rosenior, Steve Claridge, Andy Hessenthall... but they are all lesser names than perhaps Slade. Oh and Lawrie Sanchez is out of work.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

It's highly unlikely we are going to get a manger from another club that is better than Slade. Only managers below us would consider it and if that was the case then who are the best managers in League Two?... Awaits reply of Micky Adams.

.Tony Adams NO
.John Barness NO
.Steve Coppell YES
.Alan Curbishley YES
.Steve Cotterill Unsure
.Gareth Southgate NO
.Bryan Gunn NO
.Paul Jewell NO
.Kevin Keegan NO
.David O,Learly Maybe if most of Wilkins young team were still here
.Glenn Roeder NO
.Graeme Souness NO
.Peter Taylor NO
.Dennis Wise NO

My own personal view.

 

[NMH]

I think I might sit by the phone tomorrow, or put a call forwarding to my mobile.
I'd hate to miss Tony's call

If we could get Curbs then for me that would be the best appointment.

If not then for me it's between Wise & Coppell. I would have gone for Coppell easily out of the two but I am concerned about the "going back" thing.

Dennis Wise would be brilliant for us morale wise, whether some of the more fickle Brighton fans would give him a chance is a different matter.

Whoever Bloom decides on he has to give them time.

What about Gullett - surely we could all do with some sexy football?

I was going to put him down but thought that was maybe a bit too unrealistic and were do Whing, Virgo and El-Abd come into sexy football.

 

[beorhthelm]

why are the rumours always for a "big name"? most of which would far rather wait for a high profile job or are based the wrong end of the country.

 

[coach03]

I'm a big fan of Coppell - intelligent, balanced, considered, badged up and a student of the game - but I wouldn't go for him; Never Go Back ! Same for Peter Taylor....and didn't he just go to Ipswich anyway?
Southgate's a localish lad but 'Boro had to make allowances for him to get his badges - he wasn't qualified for the job initially. Plus, I'm sure he would want to go back to Prem (Hull City in a few weeks?).
There's a few on the list I wouldn't touch with a barge pole - unproven, prone to quitting when the going gets tough, inappropriate for our level of football etc

David O'Nearly - no thanks..

One that hasn't been mentioned is available (aside from TV work), has a pro-licence, is intelligent, well balanced, has played at a decent level, has good contacts and is, I understand from a good source a damn fine coach. I believe he also has a degree in engineering as well..... Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you.....Iain Dowie (and we might get his brother Bob too, who is at least an A licence coach and good at it too.

 

[SeagullTim]

From that list, Coppell, Curbs or Southgate for me.

Cotterill if not them 3.

 

[steward 433]

Curbishley out of that list for me.

I am not trying to start or have started rumors. I have just listed possible candidates and have shown NSC who are the best in the country, unemployed at the moment. Looking at that list Taylor, Barness and perhaps Cotterill are the only ones who you could say would accept the job if you offered it to them right now.

spot on

no mention of terry connor.......not fussed myself

Dowie ok but palace

 

[Rodfox]

It isn't always a big name that gets success. In divisions below us there is a club arguably bigger than bha, or same size, with similar crowds, who have been transformed by someone they weren't expecting to be appointed. Like bha they were expecting a big name, but would never turn the clock back now. Oxford United.
