He wouldn't be popular, but Steve Evans would do a very decent job at Brighton.
Hes certainly came a long way since rolling in at Crawley 7 or 8 years ago.He had to rebuild his reputation in the game and he certainly did that.
Now at Rotherham of course, and if they beat Preston in the second leg they will be one win from the championship.
Evans is a determined self driven manager that has a thick skin and isn't afraid to ruffle feathers in his pursuit of success.
But importantly he knows what he is doing.He puts decent squads together and generates a winning mentality in them.He stops at nothing to cross that line first.

Hows it hanging Steve? :thumbsup: We look forward to you revealing yourself at an Amex press conference in the not too distant future.

Zola is one of Poyet's best mates. There is more chance of us signing Lionel Messi, then Zola being next Brighton manager and thank god for that.

Evans has a great eye for a player.

I'd be surprised if Zola is in the frame for exactly that reason, far too thick with Poyet to be healthy.

Would Di Matteo be in that category as well?

Unless Tony Bloom is extremely forgiving..........

I have very little belief that just about any of the names being touted around by bookies and other posters are realistic. Di Matteo, Zola, Rangnick e.t.c. all managers who you would expect would want big promises about budgets and to have players they wanted signed actually signed. Obvious we've been spoilt by the box office appointment of Poyet and then a man from Barca but I just don't believe that appointing Zola or Mackay, both managers who are big names in football at the moment but neither of whom have particularly impressive managerial records is in our best interests.

Why do we not look for a manager who fits into the system and budget we have at the club, someone who can come in and instill some fight and team spirit rather than demanding multi million pound signings in order to concede. In particular we must get someone again who is going to able to work with and develop young players.

How about:

Kenny Jackett at Wolves? Russ Wilcox at Scunthorpe? Nigel Clough at Sheff Utd?

Just to be clear, I do trust the management to make a decent appointment (yes, really) Garcia was an excellent appointment. This is hopefully a thread for people to identify other possible candidates who might otherwise fly under the radar.

'Mick' McCarthy Ducking for cover with full PPE on, my choice would be to poach Mick McCarthy , fantastic English manager with massive bollocks and loads of character, just the man to build a team and motivate it to promotion if funds are made available

Could be a option. Mk try to play and he has been there a few years so could be in for the long term

He's achieved nothing at League 1 level over the period of several seasons, with a lot of experienced help around him. Karl Robinson = media hype. Whenever I see him as a panelist on Sky Sports football league coverage he always comes across as a cocky, used car salesman type.
