An un-named Catalan no 2? What will we call him, must have been a nightmare at school.

This article on the Sport es site (translated by Google) does not seem any more definite than our own speculation :

"Oscar Garcia , who left the bench of Maccabi Tel Aviv after lead you to the league title in Israel ten years after his latest conquest, is the favorite to take the bench for Brighton , southern England club that came within one step to achieve promotion to the Premier last season.

The Brighton works with a list of four candidates, it also excelling Tim Sherwood , but is preferred by the club, considering his work in the quarry Barca and Maccabi Israel, protruding beyond the title, the have implemented a game system based on defined and Barca. That circumstance would have been decisive among the English club advisors.

The Catalan coach, who was among the candidates to succeed Manuel Pellegrini in Malaga and was also probed to replace Manzano , Mallorca has already been contacted by the leaders of the 'Seagulls', that since Thursday negotiate the termination of Gustavo Poyet , who after losing in the play off for promotion against Crystal Palace was suspended from his job for criticizing, he said, "little ambition" club.

Poyet, who has a contract with Brighton for three more seasons, could agree to their departure from the club, along with collaborators Charlie Oatway and Mauricio Taricco, this same weekend, when it is expected that employees of President Tony Bloom accelerate negotiations with Pere Guardiola , manager of Oscar that could move to Brighton today.

Although details were not disclosed, to Oscar , who would join the club with a helper that Catalan and have chosen but he did not, yet, make known, he would be offered a contract for two seasons".

Breaking news now on argus website...

Oscar Garcia will be offered a two-year deal to become Albion's next manager, according to a report in Spain.

Sport.es claim Garcia heads a list of four candidates and is expected to be given the nod by the Seagulls ahead of Tim Sherwood, Tottenham's Technical Co-ordinator.

The Barcelona-based daily Spanish sports paper also claims Garcia, who was a candidate for Malaga and Mallorca, will bring an un-named Catalan No. 2 with him to The Amex.

Surely Oscar would have met Bruno. At espanyol at the same time, also could have met through the Catalan national set up. Oscar was assistant manager, Bruno played.
Yep, they were at Lleida together as well. Bruno's connection may well have been instrumental in the whole thing.

It would be handy timing to announce OGJ in time for the players return next week, surely that would overcome any uncertainty in their minds and get them fired up for the new season. Bruno will be able to pass on the benefit of his personal experience.

Also handy that the pre-season tour is to Spain, maybe a chance for a few local trialists to get a run out?

It's all looking very nice and interesting and exciting now


Can't help thinking there's one teeny tiny detail that hasn't been attended to yet...
