I think Rodgers is a decent manager but right now he looks in need of a rest - he looks a broken man. Leicester should put him out of his misery, he could take a sabbatical from football, ready to come back as a manager.

I'm not saying that I want Cooper (he wouldn't be in my top 5 picks) but like Rodgers he's been dealt a bum hand by his board. What's interesting is that he and Rodgers have been shafted in completely opposite ways. Cooper's been handed a load of players that he probably doesn't want with no...

That's where the money is Agree but Celtic have

I'm shocked. I thought Champions League was like a football magic money tree

But both those went to clubs that have plenty of cash to spend - Villa in particular have been throwing money about. But given the Albion's well reported salary levels, I'm staggered that we're paying more than a club that's in Europe every season - even given the compo that Chelsea have paid

But it's OK in English cricket - why isn't it OK in English football? But it's OK in French football - why isn't it OK in English football?

No, it's not because there's been no woman mentioned in the discussion. But Tyrone was putting forward the view that no men's team would ever accept being managed by a woman (even though one has). It's not happening at Brighton this week but there will definitely be a league team managed by a...

This all sounds familiar. Let's look at what people thought about women becoming doctors "Men have never made an outcry against women’s entering upon any occupation however hard or “degrading,” unless that occupation were one in which they would compete with men" (Westminster Hospital review)...

Corinne Diacre was manager at French Ligue 2 team Clermont for three years before taking over as the coach of the French women team

It's more of a recognition that he's highly unlikely to come here

I saw that: it's not been repeated anywhere else though. Makes me think that it's just rumour

That's the understatement of the year. It's about as likely as Croydon being named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. I mentioned it earlier but I do find it incredible there are no firm rumours as to who the Albion have in their sights. Within an hour of Tuchel getting the boot, the papers...

People who say that a woman can't manage a men's club should remember that it wasn't that long ago that the idea of a woman PM was seen as far-fetched (Thatcher said it wouldn't happen in her lifetime) and we've now had three. The idea of a woman bishop was seen as completely impossible but the...

No mention of Ian Burchnall who seems to follow Potter where he goes? Not a compelling candidate but seems more likely than many on that bookie list. And no mention of Wiegman or Hayes, they may be rank outsiders but more likely than Curbishley and bleeding Nigel Adkins

Not really: in the four years before that, we lost Horton and Adams too.

:lolol::lolol: It does read somewhat familiar. I can't think why

Knutsen looks a good fit and I'm positive he's one name on the shortlist. He has no experience of English football though and that's got to be a concern. There aren't many managers who have come from abroad and done well at a team outside the Big Six - Poch is the only one that comes immediately...

It's nearly two days now since Potter was approached and there have been no rumours of a potential manager, I know there have been plenty of names floating around, but nothing of any substance and we've but no "We've heard that x is currently at Brighton's training ground" or "I've just seen y...

Chelsea have just spaffed £250m (plus compo for Potter and pay off for Tuchel). We know that Bloom drives a hard bargain, I can't see Chelsea wanting to hand over much more of their hard-earned to the Albion. He may nick a player but I can't see wholesale departures.

What a daft post. If she were chosen it would be because she was the best candidate, not because she was a woman. Do you really think that Tony would throw away his money on a flight of fancy? Hayes has an impressive CV. a really impressive CV. Like Potter, she has a degree. Like Potter, she's...
