[Albion] Next Brighton manager

[KZNSeagull]

I think any manager is going to come with an element of risk, whether it’s no experience in English football or does the style of play fit with the squad we have.

I guess Bloom and Barber have to take the view of the risk/reward scale and make their decision based on that.

I trust them both to make the right decision, just like I trust the players to adapt to the change and continue to move forward.

How Potter and his team have left have made us all feel negative currently, but this is a great football club with amazing people in it from top to bottom. THEY helped Potter become a success by giving him what he needed to improve the team and to perform and the same people will continue to do that for the new coach.

I don't think style of play will be an issue - we have a squad of intelligent, adaptable players.

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

Their Kübler-Ross journey is only just starting.

Feels like we have read everything Bodo/Glimt supporters are posting somewhere else before (quotes from https://glimtforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10703&start=1725 translated by Google):

Haha wtf he manages in the Norway league. Will be harsh. But it's the Norwegian league for god's sake, how deluded are they.

It’s going to be Knutsen isn’t it? It is just SO Brighton!

Hope it’s sooner rather than later so he can get on the training pitch with the players.

Who was the last BHA manager (before Potter obv.) to be effectively headhunted away from the club?

Coppell to Reading I guess.

 

[Solid at the back]

Whoever we decide to get in, do it quick. Soon Villa and Leicester will be looking for new managers

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Can I ask why not? He seems to be doing really well at Luton. Did well as interim at Brighton and has a good history with the club. Would seem like a good fit if he is deemed ready for the step up.

Other than not rating his coaching particularly highly, I still have a dislike for him following his playing against us in a Yeovil shirt and overdoing his celebrations. Man has no class.

Coppell to Reading I guess.

So, a once in 20 years event!

Brendan Rogers is the bookies favourite at the moment

All boxes ticked but I don’t see it or want it

Yes he does tick all the boxes, does that make him a good fit, possibly. We would need to pay compensation to Leicester, which hopefully will put Bloom off. If he was a free agent I do think he would be high on our list.

I would like the Norwegian guy or the Celtic manager. No idea how realistic they are, and both still come with risks. Rather those than a Jones or Martin lower league manager.

Looking at the odds. There’s no clear front runner atm.

He's not, Kjetil Knutsen is - https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/brighton/next-permanent-manager

The book is wide open though - no-one has a clue where we might be going.

Knowing the club's philosophy as we do, I think most of us could rule out a fair few of the names on that list and I personally don't think Rodgers has the kind of profile that Tony Bloom will be looking for.

 

[Nathan]

Bruno is 3rd favourite on that list at 10/1.

 

[sydney]

Marcelo bielsa would be a great appointment, did fantastic at Leeds, played great football.
Take him over lots of the other names being mentioned.

cheerio cockwomble...

Bo Svensson. Resuscitated Mainz season three seasons ago, finished 8th last year which looks well above par, currently 5th.

You'd think Gallardo has to make the move to Europe at some point.

So, a once in 20 years event!

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

 

[Lurchy]

Looking at the odds. There’s no clear front runner atm.

That’s because we play our cards close to our chest. We also don’t go for obvious choices…

Still hoping we at least talk to Roberto De Zerbi. He ticks all the boxes and is available having left Shaktar recently.

Good to see Curbishley on that list [emoji23].

Sounds like a shit Bielsa after reading that!

That list looks like it was done by randomly picking a number of current, wanabee and ex managers names out of a hat

I could strike quite a few off as ridiculous knowing how Bloom works
