Given that his own fans spit on him, am sure the Withdean faithful will do him proud...

Try this: BBC Sport - Football - Gus Poyet planning a push for top two

I accept the sentiment, but as a football club we are hardly living within our means right now...

Its a really strange episode for Gannon. Beyond any doubt he is a fantastic coach, and tactician. Arguably, he is too focussed on doing it all with teenagers to the point of being bloody minded. I have no problem with managers falling out with players, and demanding that it has to be done his...

Note quite how it happened, but yes he did say that he would not start as Scotland manager until the then current season had ended. That said, he was never offered the Scotland Managers job, and according to the SFA was never in the running for the job (although they did interview him so I have...

To be fair, Smith has looked rotten since he moved down to Sussex. I am sure even he would admit that! I saw a large number of his games for Motherwell, and he has not done himself any justice down here. He must be close to conceding more goals for Brighton than he did any any of his full...

Will leave my personal feelings on McGhee off this thread, and simply point out that he has been quoted in numerous places as stating that he had taken Brighton as far as he could. His comments revolve round his perceived lack of investment and ambition at the club. Even if he had not been...

Too true - had they done what was required after the previous match, we may not have Strachan as manager - assuming that the powers that be can actually see past the ends of their noses! Bit harsh - Levein would certainly help to make Scotland hard to beat - which is where I think they need to...

Anyone remotely interested in the job is in with a chance!! He has been slow to chuck his hat in the ring this time round, so either he has (at last) found his real spiritual home with the sheepies, or he has worked out the Scottish job is currently nothing more than a poisoned chalice.

You clearly haven't seen Brighton recently...:laugh:

Fair enough, but it is a big assumption that Motherwell would let anyone talk to their manager mid way through the season. Do not believe he would come to Sussex now to be honest - he is consistently stating how happy he is at Motherwell, and talks often of being at the beginning of a long-term...

You are kidding yourself if you believe that Gannon would leave Motherwell for Brighton. He has turned down the job once - time to move on IMHO

No money paid for Smith unless you count the allegedly rather decent signing on fee.

Will take the scrappiest of 1-0, really hoping for 3-0 but that would take a hat trick from Crofts the way things are going ;)

Based on current performances I think this could be one of the most evenly matched world cups in some time - nobody is really standing out as favourites IMHO. Consensus round our Pub table still has Brazil up there (if for no other reason than they look difficult to beat), Spain possibly the...

The problem is that Buzz is too similar in style to Kuipers. If you are going to drop Kuipers for the reason that he makes dodgy decisions in the 6 yard box, I am afraid that Buzz will not be a dramatic improvement. Both keepers are excellent shot stoppers, who kick a bit squinty every now and...

Thats a fair point, and I doubt many would argue against it. There has long been a chicken and egg situation when it comes to the money the Old Firm syphon off from the rest of the Scottish game. Should they get what little money is available to improve their performances in Europe for the...

It has to be said that both Thompson and Knight are equally anonymous up north! That said, look at what Jim Gannon has done at Motherwell. He has taken a bunch of almost unheard of (well I didn't really know who they were) lower league players from England (Giles Coke, Tom Hately, Chris...

Something similar happened to my brother when he was up on Islay. Came round a bend on his bike, hit a sheep standing in the middle of the road and broke his collar bone. He was flown to the mainland by RAF helicopter and operated on by a surgeon called... Mr Lamb. Was not invoiced for damage...
