Seagull over NZ
Well-known member
Brighton have refused to comment on reports linking former Southampton boss Stuart Gray with the vacant managerial position at the Withdean.
Gray took over the Saints following the departure of Glenn Hoddle at the end of the 2000-2001 season but left the Premiership club after a run of six defeats in eight games in October 2001.
He later went on to become first-team coach at Aston Villa but was forced out of Villa Park after a reorganisation by new boss David O'Leary.
Now Gray has been linked with a return to management with the Seagulls, but a club spokesman said: "I can't say anything about the managerial situation.
"We've had a lot of applications. The chairman is currently working through them and that's all I can say at the moment.
"Once we've made a decision an announcement will be made."
When I used to live in Southampton Gray was quite highly thought of as a coach/Number 2. Presumably he must have been to be there and later at Villa. He didn't do very well when he was given the job at Saints before Hoddle was appointed.
