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

[sully]

Sorry


Don’t read other peoples ####

So I’m sure you won’t mind if we ignore yours.

 

[wolfie]

Well. unlike many on here, I for one would be for him returning.
Obviously he fitted the profile required last time round. I don't consider what happened at Chelsea reflected too much on him (getting sacked, I mean) and, let's face it, all managers are mercenary opportunists at the end of the day. Unless we appoint someone who is a fan, the same thing would happen with anyone chosen.
How long do you think McKenna would stay here if he started well and the next failing big six club came calling ? What he might be doing to Ipswich isn't much different to the way it went with Potter.

Why bother coming on to a forum then? I presume that by posting a thread that person would be interested in the responses - not you then?

 

[BBassic]

Oh look, another to add to the ignore list

I think I'd genuinely boo him at the amex, all match, every week.

Potter can go f*** himself.

You make a great point, particularly with Emery. I do however think you’re overlooking one very possible scenario - the England job. If he came back and did well then he remains very much the right type for the FA and would definitely be a leading candidate

For interest, I post this. It is the story of the final two years of the managerial career of a man (YYYY) who had only three years in club management. I have disguised the name of the club. Have a read.... and see if you can guess what happened seven years later, after a spell looking after an under 21 side:

Due to results elsewhere, XXX's status as a Premier League club went down to the final day: they needed relegation rivals Newcastle United and Hull City to lose, with them needing a five-goal swing to the latter in goal difference. XXXX faced West Ham United away from home; the game ended in a 2–1 defeat, confirming XXXX's relegation to the Championship after eleven consecutive seasons in the top-flight, as a 19th-place finish was confirmed. Following their relegation, YYYY expressed his determination to achieve instant promotion back up to the Premier League, praising the supporters and showing his sorrow for them in the process.

XXXX's Championship campaign started strongly, putting them in contention for an immediate return to the Premier League. However, on 20 October 2009, shortly after a 2–0 victory over Derby County and with the club in fourth place, YYYY was dismissed as manager. His dismissal was controversial as he had taken XXXX to within one point of the top position, though chairman ZZZZ stated that he had made the decision weeks previously in the best interests of the club. He was replaced by Gordon Strachan, who was unable to take the club back to the Premier League. XXXX would have to wait until 2016 to achieve promotion to the Premier League, under the management of QQQQ.

If you don't know who this is and what happened next scroll down...











After 7 years in charge of the under 21 side, Gareth Southgate was appointed England manager

We need a poll!

Gareth Southgate was appointed England manager

It took 7 years and a 3 year spell as the U21 manager first (and winning the Toulon Tournament) . It wasn't like he was sacked at Middlesborough and walked straight into the England job.

 

[amexer]

Considerably less expensive than emplying and accomodating De Zerbis entourage so right up PBs street.

The club binning off a genuinely popular manager (in personal terms) and replacing him with someone you could best describe as Marmite would be one hell of a risk when it comes to club / fan relations

 

[el punal]

Oh god another thread on about that muppet

He’ll be everyone’s muppet until he wins five games on the trot then it’ll be all love and kisses.

[Papa Lazarou]

Can’t wait to be lectured by him on how we should learn our own history and he knows better than us about it

Since he's been away we've added a couple of new pages to our history, 6th place and Europa League group winners. He might need a quick catch up.

Glenn Murray?

Sorry Gents (and Ladies) having slept on it overnight, this is how I feel......

So it's more important to boo the manager than support the team? Weird approach, that.

In all honesty, and I've said this before, I'm very much in the "never go back" camp. Firmly so. That said, if Potter comes back he will 100% have my backing because I want Brighton to do well and creating a hostile environment against the manager is absolute insanity (in my opinion, of course).

I don't want him back, I don't think it's the right move and I don't think the club are seriously considering it either but if it happens, it happens.

We can actually give him a football lesson now

 

[the wanderbus]

We’re all fickle especially football fans. Murray goes to palace and we welcome him back like a hero, potter leaves for a club with the potential to win the lot and he’s vilified. We’re all a bit strange.

The difference being Murray was out of contract and didn’t take half a dozen others with him.

 

[hampshirebrightonboy]

Can't wait to see Solly at left back again.

He was playing left back when he got injured against City
