Not right now - but more than one interview (on Seagulls Player and in the Argus) over the past couple of years. I'm paraphrasing, so it's not a direct quote, but it's not inference either.

If I was a Premiership chairman, Gus would be EXACTLY the sort of manager I would want, regardless of just finishing 10th. I would look at how he has reshaped the club from top to bottom and got players playing the right way with an emphasis on possession football. Given the opportunity to work with better players, these skills are very transferable.

I just cannot see anybody wanting him at the moment. Over recent months, he and his team have been dire. He surely needs to improve his reputation before getting offered a job by a larger club?
As for what he is after, he clearly wants to be a top manager. Unfortunately, he also looks to be the sort of guy who thinks that success is all about money available to pay big transfer fees and wages (based upon his constant references to money). If anyone is daft enough to offer him a job with lots of money to spend, he would be off like a scalded cat!

You are beyond being remotely entertaining with this shite.

Why would these clubs want Gus ?
He is a decent manager but apart from Wolves I can't see the other 2 being remotely interested.
He has his flaws and without a blockbuster CV I can't see a prem club coming knocking

He re-shaped a club that was far easier to re-shape than an established Premier League club.
These things take time - not something many chairmen offer an abundance of in the Premier League.
Bar a few exceptions I bet if you looked at all 4 leagues the top spenders will be all near the top of their respective leagues and the lower spenders will be near the bottom.
Success is hugely related to money spent.
Brighton easy to reshape?? If it was so easy, why have we spent so many years in league 1.

I don't disagree. However, what money he has been given he has largely wasted on players he uses little or are useless, and he appears to have lost sight of his original "team" rather than "individuals" ethic he spoke about last year - which served us well. Now every time he speaks it seams that the excuse is lack of money in his Budget!

That is an easy one to answer - Withdean and money. The guy has been handed money he predecessors could only dream of.

It is not intended to be entertaining. I would say it is about as entertaining as Gus' style of football.

He'll never manage Chelsea or Spurs. He's not at that level.

AND, even if he was actually at good enough to manage them, Chelsea would never go for anyone without major trophies on their CV. Something he will never get at Brighton.

Why the Midlands focus? Maybe Diego has a job lined up there?

I think from what we have seen of Gus gives us a fair indication of his capabilities. I doubt he will ever manage at the highest level. West Brom would suit him perfectly. Watch this space.

Errrrrr, shit ground, no money....
if it was just about money then look at how much Leicester spent and they only just finished above us. Secondly he won league 1 before huge money was spent. So it is not a simple one to answer.
to get us out of league 1,we were still at a shit ground and did not spend a lot of money

That was the point I was trying to make.
Trying to re-shape Aston Villa would be a lesson in futility.
