Peter Taylor believes Albion could be heading for the Premier League if they appoint the “right man” as manager.
And the former Seagulls and Wycombe Wanderers boss would be happy to return to the club – not as No. 1 but as assistant or coach.
Taylor left Albion in 2002 after guiding them to the League One title.
He appreciates the huge potential of the club now that Falmer is on the horizon, following his spell at Hull and their move to the KC Stadium.
It was a view Taylor expressed to Darren Bloom, brother of Albion chairman Tony, in the run-up to Wycombe’s 1-0 defeat at Withdean in September.
“I saw Brighton play at Millwall the week before we played at Withdean,” Taylor said.
“I said to Darren Bloom that, with the new stadium 18 months away, it’s a fantastic job.
“When I went there I was told the stadium would be ready in a year and a half but that wasn’t correct. In the end it was a long way off. That made it a more difficult job, because of the restrictions of Withdean, which was nobody’s fault.
“Brighton, with a new stadium, could be one of the best jobs in the country.
“They have now got somebody putting big money into the club, which is very fortunate, and they will have a big stadium which will be brilliant.
“I had that situation at Hull. I joined them when they were 18th in Division Three but we knew we were moving to a new stadium.
“It completely changed the club, it’s amazing what can happen. Mr Bloom has got a massive decision to make, because they have got a brilliant opportunity.
“If Brighton appoint the right man they can go to the Premiership.”
Taylor appeared poised to link up with Roy Keane as his coach at Ipswich recently but the appointment never materialised.
“The nice thing for me now is that I don’t think I have to manage,” he said.
“I can coach or assist, like the opportunity which nearly happened at Ipswich. That would suit me down to the ground.
“The best part of the job is on the training field. If the next Brighton manager wanted a coach or assistant it would not be a case of me saying no, I’m a manager.”
Taylor’s first choice for the Albion vacancy would have been the same as Bloom’s – Steve Coppell.
“There are some very good managers out there and I know what I would do in Mr Bloom’s situation, go for somebody who is a secure bet,” he said.
“You still need a bit of experience because of the situation they are in. Unfortunately they are too low for where everyone was expecting them to be.”
