Wherever he pops up it will be interesting to see if he comes in for any of our fringe players Kayal, Bong, Button and would also be great to send some youngsters on loan Connelly, Walton, Gyokeres, Tilley

Brighton after we sack our new manager by Christmas and he takes us from bottom of the table to 17.

Or probably Swansea when we poach their manager :-D

I'd imagine he is a target for clubs with a reasonable expectation to get out of the Championship.

I'll go for Middlesbrough.

Middlesborough after Pulis goes this week

f*** me I hope not.....why would he want to go to that lot? Their squad is about to fragment with loan signings departing and out of contract players departing...sinking ships not usually good to alight on.

Boro look made for him and I wish him well.

TNBA

TTF

I'd suggest that there is ZERO chance he would go to Boro.

Bad blood there, not easily forgotten.

Are we going to be saying bye bye to you on this board?

No - Not at all

I have met a lot of good Brighton fans I have become friends with in my time on here. Chris has built a bit of a legacy. Fans have been great to him for the most part. I would like to see Brighton kick on if they can; Time will tell on that one.

The Club helped raise Chris' ''Managerial Stock'' to it's highest ever levels - They owe each other a lot. As I said earlier. It will be interesting to see if he was under or over achieving. Chris will succeed I whatever he does in the future. I have no doubts on that.

I hope Brighton do too.

I doubt it will be Boro, if Pulis goes as expected it will be because the fans weren't happy his negative style as well as failing to get in the play-offs - they aren't going to appoint Hughton. West Brom is a good shout, although you'd be worried going there after their own bizarre sacking of Darren Moore. West Brom finished where they were when he was fired - fourth.

Haven't they only just given the job to Parker. Don't think their fans would be happy with that change.
I notice everybody is recommending championship clubs. I thought 50 % of us claimed he was premier league?

To be fair that was the question I posed. I suspect a "big" struggling to get out of the Championship club will come knocking with an attractive offer.

The man United job will be up for grabs soon though ! - I jest of course
 


Think he should have a rest for a while to recharge batteries. Fighting constant relegation battles is the most psychologically draining thing there is in football, a good job will always be there for him

I have always said QPR as I see them as a club very similar to ours and he could do the same for them which would then take him to retiring age.

Spurs or Man U

He'd be able to manage the egos.

Prove what he could do with some decent players and a budget.

Probably end up in the Championship though.

Great servant to the Albion.

Great to hear. I've enjoyed your input and viewpoint on all things CH and Brighton.

There will be a queue of clubs knocking on is door - I would love to see him do a job where he is the driving force to change the Racial Inequalities in the Boardrooms and Managers within football but as sure as eggs are eggs he will want to go back into Management

You know him better than anyone on here - do you think he saw this coming?

No chance of the Swansea manager coming here
I think Tony Bloom has somebody in mind. Expect an announcement fairly soon-TB doesn't hang around.

West Brom is the perfect fit. They score loads of goals but defence will kill them - joint 12th best, only 2 goals fewer conceded than Millwall who finished one place above relegation. Chris would sort that out
