[Football] Russell Martin, De Zerbi's eventual successor?

[BrianSwan]

16 games unbeaten in the Championship

Averaging 65.4 % possession (highest average ever recorded in the Champ) with 662 average passes per game (highest average recorded). Brighton born man, seems like a good fit to carry on De Zerbi's work if/when he goes to City.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Well known for not exactly being fond of the Albion. That said people go anywhere for the money.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Nope, not foreign enough is Russ del Martinho
I also don't feel like trying to replace our bloke just yet

 

[kevtherev]

I believe when the day comes, for RDZ to move on. Then a certain Adam Lallana will slip straight into his seat, with the minimum of fuss.

It’s a no from me. He needs to cut his teeth somewhere else first. I can’t imagine us really giving someone their first management gig.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Carrick seems the most likely of people I have heard of

 

[MattBackHome]

Only after he's brought football back to Old Barn Way, thanks very much.

Isn’t there a rival foundation of his to Albion in the Community that Oatway works for? Can’t see TB being pleased with that either.

That said we did once buy a player from Brentford so who knows?

Bound to be some RMA graduates in our academy and contact between our coaches and theirs to, I assume.

 

[Albion my Albion]

What about Calderon?

I believe we should give In-a-go.

Yep, a lot of youngsters have moved from the RMA to Albion in recent seasons.

 

[Albion Robster]

Rather take Kieron McKenna.
He’s done wonders at Portman Road and playing some very attractive football as well.

I don’t think so , no experience

Why doesn’t he like us ?

 

[American Seagle]

Worked well with Poyet.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Obviously I hope RDZ never leaves, but if he does, I hope he's replaced with someone I've never heard of and we get to see Tony's "cat who got the cream" grin at the unveil-the-new-guy presser. That's how I'll know we're in good hands.

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

Liam Rosenior ALL DAY LONG...WITH LIVERPOOL OUTCASTS TO ASSIST.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Worked well with Poyet.

Agreed, but not really the same circumstances this time around. Pitching someone into their first management role in the Premier League is lightyears away from doing it in League One, especially when you’d be following arguably the most successful manager in the club’s history.

remember NSC'ers saying precisely the same thing about Calde. Bruno, Nathan Jones, and Liam Rosenior,l none of which happened.

The likes of all of the above need to go away and learn far more about football management, before the can even hope to take over at the top in the Premier League.

Tend to agree with possibly Mr Milner as his assistant.

No no no no no no no did I say no
