I see little point in appointing a manager whilst Falmer goes on and on and ..........
Why not see out this season, not as if we'll be relegated and then make an appointment.

Isn't that the reason DK is waiting 2/3 weeks? To see what the outcome is from the remainder of the public enquiry. Once we get the nod for Falmer from them then the next manager coming in can't creditably use the stadium excuse anymore.

Brian Little appointed as Tranmere manager.
Well that's buggered up my suggestion then !

Joe Kinnear for me.
Ex-Brighton (Ok big deal in reality but nice to have the link).
Has London contacts (essential for loan negotiations, easier to attract London based players to Brighton than players further North).
Used to working with this level of budget.
Less likely to leave. Given his medical history I would have thought a higher profile higher pressure post would not be what he was after.
I simply favour an old head if possible with contacts in London which I feel are essential.

I think Ian Dowie's the man for the job.
He's a likes to keep the ball on the deck and pass it around and I think that would suit our style of play. And, if that's not a good enough reason just look at what he's done at Oldham on next to nothing!?!

Four games will take us until next Tue - Brentford away. I think that is understandable as the new manager would normally have a home game as the first game - don't want an away defeat to start off with.
So if this is true, we can expect a decision after Tuesday and if Bob has won 4/4 then he must have a good chance. I would rather a new man come in and keep Booker for the long term as assistant.

I have just joined up eventually and saw cant add a new suggestion as manager so i voted for Dowie as i respect what he has done at Oldham and he has never slagged off situation they are in, hasnt jumped ship 1st chance been given, that is kind of guy we really need at the moment, yet we need him signed to a contract at least 2 years, not what he is on at Oldham.
I was going to vote putting Andy Hessenthaler as manager as i saw he isnt on it, yet couldnt add him, think he would do well for us, but to be honest id be pleased if we got either Dowie, Hessenthaler, Cotterill (unless gets us playing long ball football) or even if we appointed Booker i wouldnt mind, as respect and like guy, yet not sure if man for the job, as i know was just LDV, yet we played quite boring football, i know is a win, yet was poor game, yet again on other hand, Grimsby game was dire yet in 2nd half made changes and we played better in 2nd half and won 3-0 so cant complain, id back Booker if got it, but prefer someone with experience if poss.

The appointment of younger managers like Ian Dowie or Steve Cotterill, none of whom I rate one little bit, would undermine the position of Bob Booker at the Albion, now that he has announced he would like the Manager's job.
This means if he wants the top job, he would have to move elsewhere.
If you want Bob Booker to stay, then the only choice would be the older manager who can pass on experience and groom Bob Booker into the post, perhaps?
Otherwise, it is a new broom and rocking the boat. OK if you are at the bottom of the table, but darn right silly if you are the top!
This knocks out lots of the suggestions.
I never understood why Hinshelwood was given the job last season. I thought it should have been Bob Booker then. I do not think BB has enough experience under top Managers in his career?
PS: I did not support Coppell all that much, because I didn't like his style of football. However, when you are bottom of the table, this is not the main priority.
Roy Hodgson reveals himself as lacking a bit on tactical nous on the telly. I was not impressed.
Joe Kinnear reminds of his hauntingly terrible play that lost a goal in an away promotion encounter at the Old Den Millwall when the ground was packed and 18,000 fans (about 50/50 Albion and Millwall) packed in a volatile atmosphere makes every mistake magnified. (This was at the peak hooligan time, so there was dose of paranoia as well.) I though that Joe Kinnear must have been bribed to throw the game at the time (and it still seems a possible explanation?)

Some newspapers this morning are claiming Jean Tigana has applied!.....Well, I guess Withdean does resemble Monaco's ground if you stretch the imagination, so he'd feel at home. Apart from his probable wage demands, I suspect we'd be nothing more than a stepping stone.....No thanks!
