We will lose out on our no.1 target to palace!

[Pondicherry]

Judging by the body language coming from the dug-outs during this season (and Hyypia's general complete lack of energy)it would appear that Jones has already been largely in charge for 23 games already. Boxing Day was more of the same so if Bloom wants to take the club down a division, go ahead and appoint Jones.

To even say they are considering someone so closely associated with the abject failure this season is complete madness. Also wasn't Jones an Obika fan?

Says pulis wont go back to palace

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Sure to miss out unless we get Pulis! Please can it not be Warnock! Despised by proper Albion fans! Cannot believe Robinson has turned us down, he may end up at Smellhurst!

Biggest load of crap I've seen on here for ages and that takes some beating !!! Especially this bit Despised by proper Albion fans!
So what constitutes PROPER Albion fans then ?
And why would Pulis go there after walking out a week before the season started last year

 

[fat old seagull]

Deal.
We'll supply the drum and most of the players, you'll supply the prawn sandwiches

I say old chap...prawn sandwiches? Surely a bit rich for you chaps. Just bring your own Jellied eels.

Pulis did a great job for us last season but then did the dirty on us 2 days before the season starts.
Would i want him back ?Head says yes,Heart says no.

 

[fat old seagull]

I would imagine that there'll be a couple of options for pulis in the next few weeks. Leicester or West Brom very close to being available I would think. Leicester would be the best fit in terms of set up but is there really the cash there? They clearly didn't want to splash out in the summer and if they didn't rate or trust Pearson they've had quite a while to get rid.

Stranger things have happened to pulis arriving at Brighton but it's got to be highly unlikely.

Certainly some merit in your comments regarding the options open to Pulis. But I wouldn't rule out the possibility he might come here. There's nothing like winning or avoiding relegation to add esteem to ones CV. I believe Pulis to be cute with his managerial choices. Of the options you quoted I think BHA has the greatest chance of success, be it in a lower league.
He might consider being seen to save a Championship team gives more kudos than failing with a Prem team...just a thought.

 

[Binney on acid]

Pulis is also anti losing.

 

[Justice]

When you look at the list of the candidates only Pulis and Sherwood stand out as winners. Houghton would bore you to death whilst the others don't have a club because their shite.

 

[Insel affe]

How is it people can find their way here but not to any other website, even Google?

What's this Google you speak of ? My wife said its full of sin, depravity and told me never to go there.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The Sun are saying Pulis back to Palace so we now know that won't happen. If he came here, we could have a Welsh revolution. Jones could be U21 manager and we'd then grab Saunders from Crawley to be the number 2. An influx of Welsh players would follow eventually leading to the signing of the 38 year old Gareth Bale in his final season. Happy Days

When you say Sherwood, he has only managed 28 games, exactly how does that make him experienced, has he ever managed in the championship. I just fail to see how 28 games makes him a great manager. Oh and here is an interesting fact for you in case you say Sherwood has a 50% win rate with Spurs, Chris Hughton also managed them and has a 50% win rate with them

 

[kevtherev]

I'm not bothered with Robinson turning us down at all. I'm more concerned that some thought a man with no championship experience was the right man to get us out of a championship relegation scrap. Christ we have some idiots making decisions at this club. No wonder we are where we are.

 

[GolfingGull]

It's going to be Hughton I'd imagine. The palace vacancy won't change anything. Of our supposed shortlist, Sherwood favourite for Palace, Pulis will wait for a soon to be Prem vacancy, McDermott wants to stay at Arsenal and Robinson is staying put. As the board want Championship experience and success, all that's pretty much left is Hughton, imo.

 

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

I could see Palace making a move for Tony Popovic of Western Sydney Wanderers .

 

[phazza]

Sure to miss out unless we get Pulis! Please can it not be Warnock! Despised by proper Albion fans! Cannot believe Robinson has turned us down, he may end up at Smellhurst!

i always chuckle when i read that people on here know who our no.1 target is . or many other facts that they can't possibly know. i agree about warnock, but find it a bit arrogant that you 'cannot believe robinson turned us down'.

Spot on and even worse is the fact that the next manager will be second choice and this will put some off.

Gary Rowett??

 

[lawros left foot]

Pardew is now favourite for Palace on Skybet 4/7, quite a strong favourite
