The official "Who will our new manager be?" thread [Merged Threads]

[British Bulldog]

I think it will be Dean Wilkins but he needs an experienced no.2 with him. Somebody in the mould of John Hollins.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Its going to be Hoddle.

Oh please no.

 

[Da Man Clay]

My feeling exactly.

Wilkins fills me with dread. It has Jeff Wood, Hinshelwood and Bookers short spell written all over it. What we also need is a manager with good contacts in the loan market given the window is shut. I don't think Wilkins has that.

Whatever everyone feels about the sacking the timing is WANK. It should of been over the summer or nearer the 2nd window opening.

Yep, I agree with all of that.

Some people on this board are insance, Hoddle, Curbishly, Sanchez, Sheringham?

3 of those is out of our league and one is a waste of time. Dave Penney is an excellent shout tho.

 

[Marshy]

Oh please no.

Would be good to see us play proper football though.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Smells of the Dean and Ray Wilkins show.

 

[Gazwag]

Jesus will be the only miracle worker that could get us out of the mess we are in.

Wilkins supporters are basing their views on the tremendous Youth team performances last year - was that due to the exceptional quality of the current youth team players or him - I would suggest the former at this stage, but would love to be proved wrong.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Dean Wilkins.

 

[Skaville]

Who evere it is, they need time. It's a bit worrying that we have lost a manager a week after the transfer window closed. Many of us have been on McGhee's back for months, but now it['s time for unity. Lets all get back behind the board, the team and teh new boss.

 

[Scoffers]

I dont think it will be Wilkins, otherwise why get rid of Bob Booker?

Usually, when a manager gets sacked, the assistant goes because the Chairman has already lined up a replacement Manager who wants his own man in place

I'd be reluctant to go for Dean at this moment in time.

 

[Loft23]

We could do a lot worse than John Hollins or Dave Penney.

I also think Hollins could do a good job. Look at the wonders he's done so far this season at Crawley despite all that's going on. Dave Penney could also be a good option as well.

 

[Brightonian74]

Alan Curbishley...............

..............if only! Would be nice eh?

 

[bhaexpress]

Chris Cattlin ? Well if he would be interested I would be too. Trouble is he's been out of the game too long in truth, probably Albion's most underrated manager IMHO.

 

[Skaville]

I'd welcome Danny Wilson with open arms, but it won't be him.

 

[n1 gull]

My only concern with Wilkins is, does he have contacts with other clubs, to bring in players?

 

[Marshy]

Yep, I agree with all of that.

Some people on this board are insance, Hoddle, Curbishly, Sanchez, Sheringham?

3 of those is out of our league and one is a waste of time. Dave Penney is an excellent shout tho.

I dont think so at all.

Look at our list of recent managers, Adams, Taylor, Coppell....
DK has a habbit of picking up managers way beyond our current status and im guessing he will do it again.

If you dont ask you dont get.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Stuart Murdoch please with Wilkins as assistant.

That -- or Dave Penney in place of Murdoch -- 's what I'd really, really like. Much as I think Dean is GREAT -- and of course Brighton through and through -- I simply don't think he's suitably experienced at this level.

 

[robbied69]

There are a lot of rumours that he will become the next manager of Leeds.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

There are a lot of rumours that he will become the next manager of Leeds.

Depends if Captain Birdseye will sack Blackwell.

 

[See-Goals]

Would be nice but not in a million years unfortunately

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Curbs would be ideal, but I can't see it happening

What planet are you living on?
