[Albion] Kieran McKenna

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Judging by PBOBE reply/sigh when asked about Mckenna, he isn't even on the radar.

Next

Or maybe he's learned a thing or two about poker

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Hmm, that’s disappointing to hear. I really don’t want Farioli - he’d make Potter’s sides look free scoring. Would have to hope Bloom and Barber have a rabbit in the hat as the rest of the list is pretty uninspiring

You might be right. But you can't look at the statistics in isolation. We only have a very small sample to go on

Maybe Nice have good defenders and crap strikers

Nice to know we both ignore the middle

I can’t profess to be an expert having never seen Nice play under him. But the Guardian article I linked has me worried. At the least, I don’t understand the evidence for the excitement about him on here from the other non experts, other than he’s an RDZ disciple and lookalike.

I will be SO disappointed if he gets the job. Love him but not as our manager thanks

Bullshit. Next.

I’m putting that down to a journalist making up a feasible sounding story about an ex player turned manager who is now free for work. It’s plausible, so will get him some clicks, but can’t see any truth in that.

 

[chaileyjem]

The source is this rather thin story published in the Sun yesterday. There's no actual reporting in it. Looks like he's a "contender" because half a dozen fans have put a bet on him.

Brighton line up ex-ace to replace De Zerbi after he was sacked by EFL side

LIAM ROSENIOR has emerged as a contender in the race to become new Brighton manager. Albion are stepping up their search for a coach to take over from Roberto de Zerbi, who left after the final gam…

I think Liam is on the long list for a managerial here but not for a few years yet.

Someone’s put £20 on overnight

Wasn't me, Sky Bet only allow me to stake 20p on sports (they've identified me as someone who gambles responsibly aka a problem gambler ... for them).

Yes. Liam has got to take another job and unequivocally succeed before he'll be in line for a PL role.

He's had a decent start to his managerial career and I think all true Brighton fans are wishing him well

 

[Blues Guitarist]

The next manager markets are a mug's game.

No-one who is really in the know can place a bet without risking their career.
And there are is no data to support the odds.
It is based on nothing more than media-speculation and chancers.

Is it not based on betting patterns?

 

[chaileyjem]

Is it not based on betting patterns?

Yes. Which can be moved substantially by speculative media reports and often - thinly sourced social media posts. It’s all froth basically.

They have history. We don't. They are a bigger club.

They 'were' a bigger club. I don't think you can win a trophy or two and then keep that accolade for the rest of time.

Try telling that to Leeds supporters...

I’d prefer Farioli.

McKenna’s achievement is amazing, but I wonder if the jump from League One to Premier League is just a step too far. It’s a gamble.

If Farioli can be convinced by Tony’s plan and isn’t committed to other jobs, then I’d go there first. He has that little more experience.
