When did our fans turn on a manager and want them gone for a few bad results when it wasn't their fault? My scenario is the only one that comes to mind. So your prediction makes no sense and your displeasure with my post, which is the only example in over a decade of it happening, seems just as strange. Your post was deliberate and obvious point scoring. That was my problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he finishes 3rd, for example, and doesn't go up via the play offs, I think there's a very good chance we could get him, and there's good reason why we'd want him. We're a bigger club, we'd probably have a better budget, we probably have a better chance of going up (on paper anyway), he knows the area. 3rd place and not succeeding in the playoffs is still a very good season for Brighton, when you consider other clubs like Burnley, Boro, Derby, Hull etc are up there challenging, and they're all probably "bigger" clubs than brighton. As far as I'm aware, not many, if any, were considering Brighton as title contenders this season. Not even play off contenders. This article from the Guardian, from the knowledgeable Jacob Steinberg, even predicted Brighton as relegation candidates this season. So I'd say even if Brighton don't go up, they've still overperformed this season. Couple that with Hughton's previous success with Newcastle in that division (a similar situation to our own), relative success with Blues, and decent record in the prem, I think he'd be a fine choice. Would you then trust him in the PL?? I wouldn't his record isn't that good he seems a decent championship level manager but I want someone who can get us out and the get us up the PL.

I'd trust him as much as I'd trust any of the other names on the list, with the exception of Moyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning you'd trust Moyes more in PL? I'd agree with that sentiment TBF. The others have all failed to a degree.

BOF Posted March 30, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 30, 2016 With the way Celtic are dropping points this season, I'd expect Rangers to be competing for the title next year so I doubt Warburton is gettable tbph. Maybe the season afterwards, but as of now I expect he'd fancy a crack at the SPL next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I see after one bad appointment with a foreign manager they all get tainted with the same brush and none of them could possibly be as good or a success like the good ol Brits with experience. First time I had sex was awful but lucky for me I didn't let one bad experience put me off. I'm advocationg we go down the foreign route per se especially but to limit ourselves to only British managers with experience limits our selection pool in size drastically. I just want a progressive (young) coach who can grow with us and Instill within the club a clear ethos on how he wants the game to be played. (Like Poch at Spurs) Be it Monk, Moyes Karanka or Rebrov etc where he is from does not matter in my eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much both weren't up to the job One because he was crap the other because he wasn't Fergie!! Both were bad recommendations for the jobs they went for. We need anyone but McLeish they needed a big name with a big personality girl a year or 2 to break the Fergie link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name's Gabriel Agbonlahor. I don't think he's ready to hang up his boots just yet, though. Any more than he already has. It's cool, I'm terrible with names too.

I know there is nothing good to report about our club at the moment, but they are supposed to be a reputable news source, not The Bloody Sun newspaper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, I have my reservations about the fan base's reaction to the likely defeats the new man will accumulate if he takes charge now. Disagree Stevo- if ever there was a free hit in the premier league, then we are it. Any new manager will be cut the slack that they should be afforded given what has gone before in this season. I am all for getting someone in right now. ( Pearson for me personally) however I can understand that some managers may not want a villa relegation on their CV, so in some respects I see where your coming from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If I was Moyes I'd be very disappointed to be mentioned in the same sentence as Pearson. I can't believe the latter is still being mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I want next seasons manager in ASAP so he can clear out the crap. Having read up a bit on Pearson he seems quite impressive but does anyone know who and how important his backroom staff are? Also LCFC have had a very good recruitment policy of late what sort of structure does he work under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
