[Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Odds will dramatically shorten when Bloom or Barber put a huge bet on one of the candidates !!

Which would be totally illegal

 

[B-right-on]

Oooh goodie. If this is right I'll be looking forward to some more interviews like this:

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Anyone getting more than 25 quid on a manager market in one bet is doing well.

I appreciate the "grand" comments are flippant but that would never happen in a million years on markets such as this. The best you could do is scoop a few pennies on the exchanges.

The days of 'arry ruling himself out in the press for the Portsmouth job and punting himself off the boards are long gone.

It'll take an awful lot of me to ever love a manager like I loved RDZ. His charisma alone is pretty much irreplaceable, yet alone if we replaced him with that gormless idiot Potter. It's a resounding no from me.

 

[oldboyroy]

Oooh goodie. If this is right I'll be looking forward to some more interviews like this:

That's made me giggle, not that we need reminding but still funny

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oooh goodie. If this is right I'll be looking forward to some more interviews like this:

He's got about as much emotional intelligence as a moderately arrogant person who hasn't studied emotional intelligence at Leeds Poly.

 

[wehatepalace]

If he comes back are we allowed to boo him still ?
If he brings Bruno with him, can we boo him too ?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Oooh goodie. If this is right I'll be looking forward to some more interviews like this:

Don't forget the "easy life" quote.

 

[Justice]

Don't forget the "easy life" quote.

He tested himself for 8 months turned Chelsea into a low scoring drawing sensation

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

For f*** sake.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Oooh goodie. If this is right I'll be looking forward to some more interviews like this:

Oh yeah.

That's the sort of honesty in interviews I'm down with.

I'm rapidly warming to the idea just for the comedy value.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Potter. What incredible entertainment the Brighton fan base would be. Almost unrivalled to any drama in the past.

And I think he’d be quite good.

 

[marcos3263]

Christ If Potter and Bruno came back I would Boo until I hyperventilated . I would get a double hernia straining to boo everyone. The opposition, their fans, VAR, premier league, FFP, bottle tops, the lack of a monorail. the carpark development, the box park being late (probably) the trains, people leaving early, the pies, the prices, Nike, half and half scarfs and Wrexham.

 

[marcos3263]

BOOOO!!

just practising.

 

[MJsGhost]

Don't forget the "easy life" quote.

I still think too much was read into this.

"If I wanted a nice, easy life, I could have quite easily stayed at Brighton in the Premier League, signed a new contract and been absolutely okay, and I wouldn't have had too many questions about myself, pressure, sackings or anything like that,"​

​

He was responding to people questioning his decision to move, given that he was coming in for a lot of criticism from Chelsea fans and there was speculation about how long he'd last.

Factually, it's bang on.

Staying at Brighton was the option for an easy life - a strong established relationship with the board; a team bought into his methods that was getting results; credit in the bank with (most) fans; reasonable expectations from the club. Stability.

Instead, he took the option that was so much harder that he failed miserably.

I don't think anyone can really question that staying would have been easier than trying to sort out the Chelsea car crash and winning over their mob of entitled fans?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Wait what's happening is Potter actually coming back?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Wait what's happening is Potter actually coming back?

A journalist has guessed he's our back up to McKenna, one of our attention seekers on Twitter has posted that guess on there and a few BHA have stuck a tenner on him as a result.

 

[DavePage]

Guess we have to wait for the Cup and playoff Finals, then the merry-go-round will start spinning

 

[dippy2449]

Don't forget the "easy life" quote.

In comparison to the absolute Shirt show going on at Cha-Ching-sea, I would say Brighton is an "easy life".
TB and PBOBE are not ones to stand in the way of ambition, at their estimated value of course. I wonder if they are inclined to reinstate someone who's ambition is outside their ability.

 

[Mike Small]

Very partial assessments, IMO.

DeZerbi did undoubtedly improve Solly March, largely through giving him constant public backing, to build the confidence he was lacking.

But the exact OPPOSITE is true of Baleba IMO, who he held back way too long, and repeatedly publicly criticised - knocking the lad's self-confidence and stunting his progression.

Completely agree. He is so raw but Baleba has some real attributes. Couldn't see any evidence of any coaching from RDZ on this, just publicly criticising which was more because he wanted better replacements for Moises and Ali Mac.
