Villan4Life Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 daily mail Gus Poyet is on the verge of quitting Brighton after it emerged he is on the wanted list of three top West Midlands clubs West Bromwich and relegated Wolves are on the lookout for new managers and Aston Villa are also considering Alex McLeish’s future after a disastrous first season in charge. Poyet has established a reputation for combining attractive football with success after transforming Brighton’s fortunes. And West Bromwich chairman Jeremy Peace is considering an official approach to Brighton owner Tony Bloom after Sunday’s final round of Premier League matches. But Wolves have emerged as serious rivals, with owner Steve Morgan and chief executive Jez Moxey under huge financial pressure to get their relegated club back up at the first attempt. Poyet turned down Swansea in 2010 to stick with Brighton and save them from relegation in his first season. Albion went on to win the League One title in 2011 before flirting with the play-offs in their first season back in the Championship. They eventually finished 10th.

Morpheus Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Wouldn't be adversed to this appointment but it will take Randy to pull the trigger first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Too much of a risk for Lerner i'd imagine, plus doesn't have that vital cherished "Premier League Experience" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I wouldn't be against this appointment but think he'd need time (which, he'd probably get from the majority of fans!) and a little money to play with. As for Randy's cherished Premier League Experience - I reckon AMc will have bored him to submission with that one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Poyet would be a decent and a realistic choice for me should we soon be in the market for a new manager. But we would need to act fast as others who already have a vacancy will have their eyes on him as well. He has looked the part up to this point, has been prepared to learn his trade in the lower divisions and a club will give him an opportunity to show he can do it at the upper level soon. The big advantage is he would see a move to us as a step up which others mentioned might not and he may be prepared to accept a low transfer/wage budget and use his knowledge of players outside the top flight to find us players who have the hunger and motivation to make an impact at Villa Park as did the likes of Platt and Delaney in the past.

mikeyp102 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thought last yr he would do a good job, but thought he would like to manage Brighton in championship as he got them there ( similar to lambert in prem). Now he has done that think he would be able to be persuaded to come. Think he may need an experienced assistant to help for a few yrs...maybe Wilkins as they worked together at Chelsea?

Demitri_C Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 the compensation will be huge that alone is enough to rule it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 the compensation will be huge that alone is enough to rule it out Not if he quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 the compensation will be huge that alone is enough to rule it out How do you know? Most of these up and coming lower league managers make sure their contracts have get out clauses to allow them to go to Premiership clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wouldn't be a bad shout. It woudl be a risk, imo. But one I wouldn't be against taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'd bring him in as manager and get John Gregory to assist. No offence to Mcdonald, Cowans, but they need to be put back with the reserve, youth set up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
