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

[Mad as my Mother]

Please no, I'll rip up my son's school bus pass in protest if we get that gormless t**t in.

 

[fruitnveg]

I'd be OK with Cooper. However, I would have thought and hoped we'd be aiming a little higher.

 

[itsthemjb - Aussie Seagull]

this screams xavi

Must be foreign.
Must have/be flair.
Have 'passion'. (i,e, a nutter). (NB may be the same as previous)
Come from a big club.
Very expensive.
Negotiable:
Ex-player everyone has heard of.
Name with either too many vowels, or too many consonants. (Warren Aspinall Factor)

 

[oldboyroy]

Surely it will be Henrik Rydstrom

Out of the bookies current favourites, I hope so.

 

[Southern Scouse]

I had enough of him at LFC, he’s old school and would not fit with our progressive model, but TB knows best!

 

[heathgate]

I'm pretty open to whoever, trust in Tony and all that. Even (whispers) the return of graham potter

But I have to draw a line at Steve Cooper. I do not want to have to keep looking at that face for however long he stays here.

You can't really see him wineing and dining, sweet talking some south American family into letting their offspring head to jolly England with a fella who looks like an extra in the walking dead.

 

[pigmanovich]

Leicester

You can't tell me that's not Andoni Iraola's more handsome brother

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Might take a punt now with Liam Rosenior

 

[NorthStanding]

Absolutely no reason to panic, list of potential candidates is huge. Of those linked, I’d rate them in this order.

1) Rydstrom
2) Frank
3) Cooper
4) Potter

Let the promoted managers prove their worth with the clubs they got promoted, sink or swim. I’d rather have a manager who has shown some ability at PL level, or go for Relationism South American street football with Rydstrom, for entertainment value.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I'd be OK with Cooper. However, I would have thought and hoped we'd be aiming a little higher.

Too ugly.

 

[Insel affe]

Too ugly.

Yeah, because Brighton and Hove is full of pretty people.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Too ugly.

To be gay?

 

[nwgull]

He won’t be for long looking at his managerial record!

He's currently second favourite on Betfair exchange at 6.4 on Betfair exchange! There's literally nothing about his record that suggests he's a legitimate candodate. Would still prefer him over Potter though.

Good god, is this is what it has come too a choice between shrek and a dullard

 

[Hiheidi]

That has reminded me. I dreamt that Potter was appointed as Manager and Rosenior Assistant Manager.

I still dream of Joan Collins in her stud days, that does not mean I still fancy her.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The list of candidates left now makes for depressing reading even more so with the geography teacher at the top

I am quite sure Tonys list has very little crossover to the one above.

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lens]

Don't quite understand such negative reaction to Cooper.. Remember Forest was a basket case for recruitment and Cooper I thought handled that pretty well having been successful in getting them up. Nuno didn't really get much of reaction from the team in terms of performance (Gut feel, not stat based!), and I thought the style of play, two quick wide men, off a central striker was pretty entertaining to watch vs. others, such as Everton, Palace (bar last 5 games) and even Wolves to a lesser extent. I guess I didn't really see anything in his PL tenure that was a huge concern, and prior to that he may just have had a better CV compared to Potter when we took him.

Can you imagine this on a giant flag?!
