I think a small, but increasing, chance rather than zero chance. The club have shown they will only do business on their terms. For example, we consistently go into seasons with fewer strikers than most think it's sensible to go in with. But they seem to make it work. A similar way of...

I don't imply there will be no due diligence. Though I think there's a high chance of leftfield. My guess is that our manager recruitment will mirror our player recruitment. We will think outside the box, won't be held to ransom and go with the principle that the right decision is sometimes...

I agree with the thought process of the poster you quoted. The prospect of the new manager being someone with a consistent and proven record in English football or a comparable league is receding. That means we are taking a punt with a new manager. Personally i'm fine with that, we take a...

I'm thinking this as well. A really impressive speaker. Highly respected and clearly buys into the way of doing things here. I'd love it if he took up a player coach role under the new manager.

Would Serena Weigman not be such a candidate?

I agree with the surprise bit. But a surprise in the “well I’d never heard of him ” sense rather than the “wow we’ve got someone with CL experience” sense.

But we could do better. His implied criticism of the Muff board, will count him out of any chance he would have had of being employed by Tony Bloom

I don't doubt he'd leave Forest for Chelsea. I do doubt he'd leave Forest for Brighton. And as you have a poor recent record of judging whether a manager is likely to move somewhere, i'm not so sure I will trust you :)

As opposed to the crippling short termism he had to endure here. But I go along with the line of logic that we couldn’t get Cooper even if we wanted him. Not so much to do with relative club size, more to do with backing. If Cooper at Forest wants a new striker, his chairman will get him one...

I think the last week has been proven that anyone would be happy to leave anywhere should a bigger wad of cash be waved.

It would have to be after the world cup, unless we're going to have a temporary manager until then, it's improbable

Ridiculously unfair. His job is to manager the transition of these players to the first team. Our best young players are mostly loaned out, to a much greater degree than other clubs ... apart from Chelsea. They are playing against teams much more likely to play senior players returning from...

Sorry, probably because I put £20 on it

I fear it is a vain hope. Though I think Caicedo won't have loyalty to Potter above any other manager. Potter took a while to play him. Same with MacAllister

I just don't like them as much. I really like Enrique. I liked him as a player. I like the way his Spain side play. He's up and coming and although not easy to get, maybe get-able, which your suggestions aren't We've obviously got a strong Spanish connection and I think we should be building...

How about this? Luis Enrique Obviously contracted to Spain. But after the world cup, most managers will leave. We’ve got loads of Spanish speakers and players. We need someone with a bit of gravitas to stem the flow of players, and we need someone who knows how to play modern football. My...

He's off to Brentford? But seriously ... Quite a few decent international managers will become available after the world cup. The world cup cycle offers a natural time for manager's of countries to reassess. Luis Enrique would be another amazing shout. Sadly, we'd have to limp to December...

So question then Instead of who do you want, who do you think is most likely? Imagine you were the bookie setting odds where would see the probability. Might it go something like for "next permanent Brighton manager" ? ..... Bruno 2/1 Knutsen 4/1 Hayes 4/1 Martin 6/1 Jones 10/1 Lallana 10/1...

My opinions on some of the above ..... I don't think we have a chance of that Celtic manager while they are still in the CL Frank is well out of our reach. TB would absolutely go for a woman, if she interviewed well enough TB would also go for internal appointments, if they've impressed...

Experience won't be the main thing which TB will be looking for as a replacement, he'll be looking for as close to a continuity candidate as possible. What did GP have experience-wise before he came here? A few seasons in a tiny outpost in Sweden and a season at Swansea. The new manager (oh...
