    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    And there is no evidence that we have given a thought to Cooper.

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    True, the original Mail article in this thread was such an obvious, agent led, puff piece. 'An unnamed top ten club' Well you can rule out City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa, Newcastle, United, Spurs & Chelsea, so that leaves West Ham after parting with Moyes, or Palace before they appointed...

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    I wasn't judging. I was stating that clubs hoping for a European challenge wouldn't be battering down his door. Nobody came looking for Potter when that was his record did they?

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    Exactly. Cooper's name was linked with Burnley last week and he was said to not be interested, but would speak with Leicester. Subsequent links with us definitely wouldn't have leaked from our end and so look very much like his agent advertising his availability 'Look! Brighton are interested...

    [Albion] Why do you want to become our new manager?

    Can't help with the football, but I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbroook and by gum it's put them on the map.

    [Football] Reasons England won’t win the Euros…

    5) I've drawn them in the sweep. Sorry folks, haven't had a sniff of anything since Baggio missed in the 1994 shoot out to let Brazil win. At full time I actually offered the chance to share to the bloke who had Italy before the penalties and he turned me down.

    [Politics] Donald Trump 2024

    The Supreme Cout, a number of which Trump appointed, are considering the question of immunity for acts done as part of the work of president. This has done him the favour of delaying one of the more serious cases against him, as he is arguing that trying to fix the election results so he could...

    [Albion] Kieran McKenna

    Oh well. We move on. If we have been gazumped, it would take a very small minded person to ring up Chelsea and make an offer for Omari Hutchinson that maximised the price they'd have to pay for him when they're trying to comply with a very tight FFP situation. Some things money can't buy...

    [Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

    If there is any chance of Gallardo, it won't happen quickly. As I posted on the other thread, he's back in Argentina for the funeral of his long time friend and agent. Neestrup sounds interesting...

    [Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

    If everyone in the EPL makes at least £100 million in prize money per season and Ipswich think that he's key to their chances of staying up, paying him £5m or so a year seems reasonable. However, it presumably cuts into their player budget and they'll have immediate business to do. Not only...

    [Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

    Ron Saunders? Brian Wilde?

    [Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

    No. It hasn't come to this. Nature abhors a vacuum and in the absence of news, people are posting endless threads referencing the only candidates they can think of. I'll hold my hand up and say that I had no idea who Roberto De Zerbi was when we were first linked to him. I also had very...

    [Football] Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Five Rules

    It would have been clearer had he just written what he meant. Rule 2: However tempting it might be, don't sign Ronaldo again.

    [Football] Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Five Rules

    In other words, screwing everyone he can to maximise his own profits so he can buy that ivory back scratcher. I can think of other words, but knob will do.

    [Albion] Is Gareth Southgate a possibility?

    Couldn't believe that this wasn't a @crodonilson poll. Gareth Southgate? Scott Parker? Nathan Jones? Nigel Adkins? Russell Grant? Harry Redknapp's dog? The ghost of Brian Clough? Pace out of Hale & Pace? A Belisha Beacon with the word 'Coach' written on it? Graham Potter back?

    [Football] Put These Managerial Criteria in order

    Egil Olsen's 82. He retired ten years ago. Where do you stand on former Trotskyites? Would you be happy with someone who wrote a column for a WRP paper back in the seventies, but is now in the Labour Party?

    [Albion] Marcelo Gallardo
