While I agree, that leaves them (and PLB) competing with us for a manager. I'd rather we had the pick of the bunch than having to potentially enter an auction. That said, Bournemouth and Leicester both now seem to be suffering from previous over spending and suddenly we're probably more...
On the other hand I had a tenner on him back when you could get value for it. Ticks almost every box and is available without delay or compo. Get him in!
Paul Barber very clearly talked about "the process" and "having time on our side" in his press conference. It meant I wouldn't be expecting a name until late next week at the earliest. Just thinking about Knutsen for example, we'd have to get permission to speak to him, he'd have to want to, his...
Haise would surely have to bring "Lensman".
(Perhaps a gilet jaune leader by day who subsists on nothing but cheese, lives in a cave near Calais and receives regular messages in his head from a Dear Leader. Even then I don't think he'd have pushed the envelope any further)
"1. It was Roma’s B team."
Yes. Yes it was.
"2. It was ****ing freezing."
Norway is. But so are a lot of places in Italy in January :shrug:
"The subsequent draw in Italy was more impressive"
As impressive perhaps. If we have a coach who can use all of the advantages given to him to win big...
Nah, it's quick passing and clever goals. Really quite exciting.
Norway is fairly much a farmers league but his side have looked really good in Europe despite that. A bit like Ostersunds....
Absolutely. It will have to be someone who can bring on youngsters, keep everyone happy but also get respect from the full internationals. Just how "left field" a guy who has to coach Danny Welbeck and Adam Lallana (whilst also mentoring the latter) can be Tony can be the judge of. But it...
This. Believing Gallardo will come to Brighton is like believing that players and managers mean it when they kiss the badge, do that heart thing with their fingers or say things like "once a Seagull, always a Seagull".
Because you were referencing things that were happening before your join date. No one was on Potter's back in June 2022.
Satisfy me of what? You're talking about things that happened before you joined. It's literally the point of moderation that you challenge things that seem odd. If you're...
That would be fine. We could get all our coaches back and pretend none of this ever happened. Like an American soap opera, Potter emerging from the shower, swathed in a Brighton and Hove Albion towel and going "WHAT?"
Let's face it, we don't know. However, as a shortlist:
Bruno
Someone obscure from Europe
Steve Cooper
Kjetil Knutsen (shamelessly stolen from Swanny but a great shout. May fulfil suggestion number two but surely the 6-1 win over Moureen's Roma means most have heard of him?)
Ian Burchnall...
It seems like a good idea from a continuity perspective but there's a chance Potter will want to take his people with him. That means Bruno might get an offer at Chelsea or he'll have to manage without Billy, Bjorn and Kyle MacAuley. Far from ideal.
I wonder if we'd instead bring in someone...
