I thought Brighton looked head and shoulders the better team in the first half of the game i saw last night. If anything was to happen to brendan, I'd hope we'd be in there like a shot. But fair enough if you want this Portuguese dude; it's just that I think foreign managers need a season or two to adjust. And before you point out rafa won the CL in his first season, he also managed to get us ourlowest points in the Prem for years, and Mourinho walked in to a multi-billion squad and then spent some.
EDIT I know Poyet is foreign too, but he's acclimatised now.
In fairness mate Brighton should look the best side as he's had a massive budget in comparsion to his peers. I mean 3 of the back 5, are Bridge, Upson & Kuszak, all of whom will be on big money by that league's standards. Poyet has done a decent job & they play nice football, but I'm reserving judgement on him just yet tbh.
Most of the names we're being linked with are frighteningly awful imo, Mackay, Lennon
& Martinez are all not good enough to take EFC forwards post Moyes.We need a manager who knows how to win & is capable of bringing something new to the club. Out of all the names linked Pereira is the only who fits that bill.
