I hope so. After Potter, Cooper is the best young British coach around, in my opinion. And chances are, he'll end up sacked by Forest at the first sign of trouble anyway so that would be a good move all round.

How will they sleep at night? I hope people can still enjoy their canapés through the tears and grief. What I actually hope is that everyone has a great day, eats well, drinks loads, gets merry, has a dance and makes sure the happy couple have the best day of their lives. I genuinely hope not one guest gives a single thought to the Queen, because more importantly than anything, that would be genuinely disrespectful to the bride and groom. Congrats to them and to you as a proud grandfather. Hope all have a great day. Edited September 10, 2022 by SwearyCanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barham Blitz 651 Posted September 10, 2022 I suspect that as with Farke Russ's management philosophy would suit higher quality players than he has historically been able to work with. He appears similar to Potter in terms of style and would suit the Brighton ethos. But Cooper would be a better shout if they can get him and I very strongly suspect that - as has been suggested - he will be out on his ear at the first sign of trouble to be replaced by a big name. Something of which I am sure he is aware. Forest's transfer 'strategy' of throwing enough millions at the wall and hoping some of it sticks doesn't strike me as one that suits his general approach and I could see him flourishing at a club with decent resources and an ambitious but realistic owner like Bloom. I like the way Brighton do things and I wish both them and Potter well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glory.win or die. 270 Posted September 10, 2022 Apparently looking at Knutsen too. Part of me would like him to get a job like this to see what we might have missed out on, but on the other hand I don't want him to get a job like this and see what we might have missed out on if successful 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was a much different job. We finished bottom because we had the worst team in the league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brighton have a better defensively balanced squad than we have ever had under Farke whoever you may blame for that. They are better set up for that style of football with better players. I'm not saying that Martin would be a success but that he would at least stand a chance of playing a similar possession based style. As indeed Potter has been. Whilst transitioning that team I might add from a typical Hughton side. Farke is doing relatively well in a league which is generally more evenly balanced than the premiership and whoever takes over at Brighton will do so from a stronger position than we have been in during our last two visits to the top tier. As Clough used to say you can't do anything without good players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still even after this utterly outstanding month still not being considered for premiership jobs yet so many think he’s an absolute shore bet to keep us up like he did Villa! You’d think he’d be looked at!😉 Maybe it’ll be Leicester? Edited September 10, 2022 by Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Premier League side therefore need a replacement and have asked De Zerbi for his availability. De Zerbi shot to fame as coach of Sassuolo with a very attack-minded 4-3-3 style of football and then was hired by Shakhtar Donetsk for a Champions League experience. That took an unexpected turn in February when Russia invaded Ukraine, bringing all sport to a halt. Despite having the opportunity to leave earlier, De Zerbi insisted on remaining in Kyiv until all his players had been successfully evacuated. He is now a free agent and had been linked with the Bologna job in Serie A this week, but reportedly turned it down out of respect for sacked coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

De Zerbi is a fantastic young coach, and would be an asset to any club. Very similar to Farke actually, in the sense that he plays exciting, attacking football and develops youth well, but the defence can sometimes leave a lot to be desired.
