Brighton rumours

[Ozwin]

I don't want a man with no standards like that anywhere near our club. It better not be us.

[Finnegan]

I reckon Poyet has been talking to someone and wants to resign so the future club don't have to pay Brighton anything. They've cottoned on to it and aren't having any of it.

 

Spot on.

I highly doubt it. When we sacked Sven they took a couple of weeks to make the right appointment, that strikes me as how our board work. With a little more class and a bit of thought, given they've got the whole summer I doubt they'll tap someone up while Pearson's still here.

 

I imagine if they do let Nigel go then it'll be a reasonable turn around before someone else steps in, unless they have a very narrow window in which to get an exceptional manager (an O'Neill or Di Matteo.)

True. It's not like the current incumbent was speaking to us when managing another club.

Brighton hold an inquiry into whether Poyet breached his contract by telling players he could offer no guarantee on his club future #bhafc

I don't think Poyet is heading here but the owners had Sven in very quickly after Sousa was sacked and I think most people acknowledge that the time it took to replace him when he was sacked was a bit shambolic. It gave every impression, perhaps correctly, that Pearson wasn't the first choice.

I think it's far more likely that they'd act quickly, sound out potential candidates, and hope to have somebody immediately following the sacking of Pearson should that be what they choose to do.

It does seem odd must have a job lined up or wants a job question is which club?

[BCFCAndrew]

Does Bert know any/more information on this? 

 

I'm having that small feeling that it's to do with us.....

You are interested in him yes

[Wymsey]

My assumption might be right then, Finners.   

[Wymsey]

You are interested in him yes

 

Can you expand further?

Just that he is on the boards radar. As I said on the other thread, when I came on that time and said about Pearson, both parties wanted it.

All I know is, if Pearson goes, they are interested in Poyet and he will be number 1 target. No idea if he is intrested

[Tielemans63]

Makes sense - replace a playoff semi final losing manager with er...a playoff semi final losing manager. Massive improvement.

Apparently 'we hate Palace' was smeared with faecal matter in the away dressing room at the Amex while the first half was being played in the 2nd leg. 

 

Who smears their own stadium with shit ?

Brighton fans after a naughty session in the gents

they have poppers instead of air freshners in the changing rooms......well thats the rumour i heard!

[Happy Fox]

Poyet is on par with NP in terms of managerial achievement both have won league one and leading there teams to the playoffs, he wouldn't be a significant improvement on NP such as the likes of MON or Di Matteo. However Poyet does play football the right way and if the owners decide he is the right man for the job then so be it.

[Libertine Dream]

Just had a text from somebody from down that way to say we have an interest in him.

Personally I can't imagine Poyet would risk losing his job at Brighton for us so there's obviously further interest elsewhere. I also see him as no better than NP, in fact apart from the style of play I can't see what he offers. He has spent a fair bit of money there, brought in older players and not youngsters like us, poor tactically and has shown a lack of respect. No point in getting rid of Nige for him

[MPH]

It doesn't really matter to me if we are interested in him or not....

 

 

Would would really surprise me is. with the ambition he has publicly stated he has, that he would switch one championship club for another....

 

I got the impression the whole purpose of what he said was to get released from his contract to try and get a move to a prem team for next season

[john ridley]

They'll get nothing near it. The alternative is they will be left with a manager who has alienated the fans, the board and the players... and then they would have to still pay his wages.

 

They probably won't get more than 3-400 k
