There are some big jobs in the summer available so we will face competitions. Unless we go for frauds like Rooney Lampard Gerrard I will back any Bloom decision


FishstickLoverr

Bloom has respect for himself, the club and the fans


KetoFatBoy

Francesco Farioli from Nice Will Still from Stade de Reims Or somehow we pay an exorbitant amount of money for Iraola.


SoeurLouise

Farioli is in advanced talks with Ajax from what I’ve seen


TheUnseenBug

I think if he gets to choose he will choose us ajax board is in distress and him being an underling to RDZ it makes sense for us as well as him


KetoFatBoy

Ah, good to know!


Glasdir

And we’ve now been reported as trying to hijack it


KetoFatBoy

Haha no way


papaquacker

Isn't Will Still a free agent now?


KetoFatBoy

Yeah - didn't realise, but left by mutual consent at the start of May


papaquacker

Thought so, I saw him getting linked to Championship clubs like Sunderland.


KetoFatBoy

Given his age and accomplishments, I say he's got a good career ahead of him. 31 years old!!


theendofdecember

Iraola would be amazing. Can't see it happening though.


KetoFatBoy

Nah. Or me. Enzo Maresca?


theendofdecember

I've not really seen any of Leicester this season so can't say. Slightly dubious of his credentials as the Leicester squad was stacked relative to the rest of the championship and so I'm not sure how much of an achievement this season counts as. I'd rather McKenna if we're gonna look at any of the promoted teams. Hoping Bloom pulls a mad one and appoints some prodigy none of us have heard of.


KetoFatBoy

Yeah - perhaps he's just steadied things and led them to the inevitable? I fully trust Bloom to not only have already lined up RDZ's replacement, but he's probably already got the replacement for the replacement in mind. The man is a genius.


SaltStrike1370

Still could be a good shout actually! Not heard how he’s been doing this year though.


KetoFatBoy

To my knowledge, mid table after promotion last season? I could be wrong... Wait. Just checked. Left by mutual consent at the beginning of May after 2 wins from 14 leaving them in 11th. So perhaps not a good idea? 😵


SaltStrike1370

Well, shit hahaha


ironistkraken

I assume bloom has had a plan in case of him leaving, rumors of zerbi leaving have been circulating since last summer. I trust the process


PenguinSlayer_

id say klopp, probably left liverpool for a bigger club like brighton


SeattleMatt123

MASSIVE CLUB


ThisUserIsOn9

Like I said before: Andrew Crofts masterclass incoming


_phily_d

Doubt it’s likely but I wouldn’t mind Rob Edward’s given his style he got out of Luton with very limited squad and budget


Black19magic85

Second that. They played good football with limited resources.


ManLikeArch

Jesus Christ no


_phily_d

Fair enough, what makes you say that? I think it would keep an exciting style of play


ManLikeArch

Luton weren't exciting at all when you actually reflect and played anything but the sort of football philosophy that we've implemented within the club over the last decade. He's a nice guy and has done an amazing job there but it doesn't align with what we're doing.


_phily_d

Okay I see what you mean, thanks for explaining

Glasdir

Franc Haise could potentially do very well with us, but I think he’s struggled to adapt with Lens’ depleted squad this year.


michaelsted1

I can’t believe this is how I find out lol. I’m not really familiar with managers outside the big ones and teams I follow. Hopefully it’s someone more adaptive.


draingirl_

it’s gonna be some guy we’ve never heard of 1000%


jaredbernal

Tim Walter, free agent after leaving Hamburg SV, I think his style more aligns Potter and RDZ


FezBear92

James Milner, player-coach


jerseyjoe1

My shout is Russell Martin from Southampton IF they don’t get promoted. Martin was born in Brighton and started his football career at our academy. He has a charitable foundation in Brighton too. Here’s how he describes his style of play "I played in teams who were dominant with the ball and loved it. I also played in teams who didn't have much of the ball and hated it. My style is probably shaped by that and the teams I've enjoyed watching play football like Barcelona, Manchester City and Spain. I've tried to replicate that at the level I'm at and with the players I've had. If I didn't do that, I probably wouldn't have gone into coaching or management."


ManLikeArch

Boring football and so far up his own arse it's a no from me.


ledu5

>so far up his own arse Can't be worse than De Zerbi though surely


wordfool

South Coast tiki taka? No thanks. Reminds me too much of Potter whose teams were all possession and no goals.


Comet7777

Kompany would be interesting


Glasdir

Fuck no, people whinged and bed wet the De Zerbi was tactically inflexible, he is far, far worse.


Jbham11

Please no


ANuggetEnthusiast

Please no


lachiendupape

I think it’s McKenna and I also think any manager that comes in has already been agreed.


BoostrapSam

in Barber and Bloom we trust


papaquacker

We were linked with Ruben Amorim a few months back, and I like the way his team plays. It would result in a formation change most likely, and I think we might lack some of the key types of players he would require so it would make an interesting transfer window. I also found it weird that Hansi Flick was at the Fulham v Brighton game a while back. I just hope whoever we go for, we get them in early.


OrdoAmplexus

Amorim said he would be more likely to stay if Sporting won a title and they did. Also after his West Ham and Liverpool debacle I don’t think it’s likely that helps his odds of leaving, he even joked about it on their league winning speech.


Guzuzu_xD

Before RDZ I said Knutsen,Haise,RDZ, Pochettino and Sampaoli . Now I will say Flick,Sarri, McKenna,Gallardo and Pimienta.


ElderlyToaster

These are the ones I posted as suggestions (as likely candidates rather than whether I want them or not) at another place ca a month ago: Graham Potter, Will Still, Kjetil Knutsen, Henrik Rydström, Michael Carrick, Steve Cooper, Marti Cifuentes, Franck Haise Personally I think it will probably be someone else than these, but not the Ipswich lad - I don't see us poaching a Premier League manager. Graham Potter would be my preferred choice. Steve Cooper the one I'd like to avoid.


TheUnseenBug

Would like to see Henrik Rydström in the PL tbh he is completely dominating swedish league so far and plays very entertaining positional football.


ElderlyToaster

I'm torn about Rydström. Yes, they are winning, but is Rydström adaptable enough? And more so, experienced enough? Could see him needing one or two Europa adventures before moving abroad. Malmö FF play good football but they actually don't play at all according to their strengths. Works when your team is stronger than everyone elses, but not sure how it would work for us.


TheUnseenBug

Oh yeah he is very green and PL is leagues above swedish league and he has pretty much best XI in the league so hard to say if it's him or just the team. Would like to see him do something in Europe next season and then see if he can perform. Would also be interesting to see how he manages when his team isn't the stronger in a matchup


RedBullRyan

Knutsen from Bodo/Glimt or Fariola seems like our kind of appointment


TheTragicMagic

I still want Kjetil Knutsen from Bodø/Glimt, but I simply don't think he wants to leave Norway, which is respectable, but I think he's exactly what I would want in Brighton


crappysignal

Lallana


IMDXLNC

Lallana left because he was too far from his family, no chance he stays here in any capacity. I'd have loved him on the coaching team though.


hueylouisdewey

He needs to get his priorities right. Family? Pfffff!


Nytebyrd9

He did say that about his family but he also said he would like to be back with the club in some capacity next season


mhcphillips

Emma Hayes


hueylouisdewey

It would be really interesting to see how that would work out, she obviously knows her shit


mhcphillips

It’d take some big kahunas, but if anyone can, it’s the Lizard


draingirl_

now this is a move i need to see immediately


SeattleMatt123

I'm sure we already have a list, I trust Bloom and the team to get the right guy.


Future_Alarm3252

McKenna, Edwards, or Farke is what I’m thinking. Keep reading Tuchel wants to come back to England but I’m on the fence if I would want him


pariahnus

Probably someone we’ve never heard of.


TheUnseenBug

I think either MFF coach Henrik Rydström playing Brazilian positional play or Nordsjaællands Johannes Hoff Torup are decent shouts Johannes mostly because we seem to love to poach from Nordsjælland.


ppan86

German Media suspect it’ll be Thomas Frank


Seagullsmith1971

Steve Cooper


Tarvoric

Think we can persuade Arteta


ustamertkan

IMO, Ruud Van Nistelrooy would be considerable despite of him being not experienced at all. Also, he is keen on going back to be a manager, especially in England or Spain, after a year without any managerial career and he has already been receiving offers. In the 2022-23 season, PSV kept playing well even after Madueke and Gakpo had been sold to Chelsea and Liverpool respectively at half-season. PSV finished the league 2nd, won the Dutch Cup and Dutch Supercup and had beaten their rivals Ajax 4 times in that season. They lost to Sevilla, champions of the Europa League at that season, at the knockout stage for last 16 on 2-3 aggregate. Van Nistelrooy can use the technical and physical capabilities of players efficiently that, he gave Simons freedom to explore the gaps at the attacking third, instead of giving him a typical winger role, so he could go inside to the penalty area. Not only that, but also when his team is without the ball, his team could force their opponents to attack from wings, thanks to the Branthwaite-Ramalho duo and filling the gaps at defending line by using centre-backs as wing-backs. Teze had played at the right back role and he is originally a centre-back. Quick passing and moving forward is the main style of gameplay when his team is with the ball. PSV moved the ball at the gaps between opponent's defenders and midfielders or through wings. The team had the second most successful crosses in the Dutch league by that way. But please note that this is just my opinion, and let's wait and see what Bloom and Barber does, because I really believe they will come up with brighter and better options.


BHA_home_away

I’d take Ten Haag


TheGrandJP

Kjetil Knutsen? Russell Martin? Julien Stephan? Steve Cooper?


Potters_mightygulls

Sami Hypia


Jbham11

Jose


mrtintheweb99

I'm sure a logical choice will be selected. But I doubt it will be Big Bird from Sesame St.


mrtintheweb99

As in Seagull and Big Bird likely not a good mix I should clarify.


ustamertkan

"The seagull at an Adam Sandler movie" from Family Guy would be a better fit, at least it's a seagull lol :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ecjX9ZrIIS0&pp=ygUlc2VhZ3VsbCBhZGFtIHNhbmRsZXIgbW92aWUgZmFtaWx5IGd1eQ%3D%3D


Ventenebris

Adam Lallana, watch out.

lachiendupape

Jesus that is a terrible take, he does not fit the culture of the club at all


KetoFatBoy

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap.


TheUnseenBug

No thanks would rather have some no name then him


OrdoAmplexus

Would demand mad money, park the bus, exhaust the dressing room and lose touch with the players, complain about the squad and number of young players and likely think himself bigger than the club. Big no.


bruversonbruh

This needs to stay unpopular


Jg_048

Who’d the guy say, he deleted it


paulosdub

If i had to guess, i’d say jose mourinho
