vogon01 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Afternoon all, Newbie and Brighton and Hove Albion fan here. I'm after your opinions / thoughts on the rumour that Phil Neville could be lined up to be our new manager. Obviously, we've got to sort out the current nonsense involving Gus Poyet first. Just in case you've not seen the article in the Telegraph, I've posted the link Cheers http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/brighton-hove-albion/10092661/Phil-Neville-in-line-to-replace-Gus-Poyet-at-Brighton.html PS. Commiserations on losing Moyes to ManUre. Good man is DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hello and welcome to TT I think Neville has it in him to be a top manager one day no doubt about it. Never the greatest player, but a brilliant captain and leader of men, and by all accounts a keen student of the game. If he can work along side an experienced assistant then i don't see why he wouldn't be a good choice for Brighton imo. He's also finishing his UEFA A license at the moment over the summer break, so i guess by next season start he should have that.

Matt Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 welcome mate. always had a soft spot for BHA! I personally want him to stay at Everton and take the assistant manager position, to help keep some order in the dressing room since our background staff seems to be following Moyes. Think he will be a cracking manager at some point but (without meaning to be disrespectful) hes not ready for the Everton job yet, whereas BHA would be a great starting point and benefit both parties.

Mirallas Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 The Seagulls are like my one favourite team from the Championship, I wanted them to promote rather than Crystal Palace. In fact I would have preferred any of the 3 other teams, also Leicester and Watford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'm in Brighton, right this second. Went to Digital last night, a dive but a good laugh like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'd have taken him at Everton, as he knows the Prem, but he doesn't necessarily know much about lower league, so debateable. He's actually completed the A coaching course btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Tony Adams, Bryan Robson, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, John Barnes, Roy Keane, Steve Bruce, Kevin Ratcliffe Anyone notice a common theme? Top quality players who were renowned for their leadership skills and professionalism who never really cut it as managers. Why are people so sure that Phil would be good? I think he needs to cut his teeth at league One to start with. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hughes, Ince and Bruce did well but had their heads turned too easily and as a result haven't been as successful as maybe they should have been. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 It is hard to say really. Neville is a great leader and great motivator but whether he will be a good manager is another question. If I am honest I reckon it is going to be another plan of SAF to get him at United and get him trained up. SAF will take him under his wing and he will be the next united manager in decades to comes ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I doubt that Neville will reach the lofty heights that people expect him to, just last week he told the press that he'd been asking Moyes for advice on how to punish players and opinion on curfews - he's played under him since 2005 so he should know by now. It's one thing to be an England U21 coach and quite another to be a first team manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie may have been discrete rather than making an example of people so he wont have seen how to conduct himself in that situation. Even if he has seen it, nothing wrong with asking for more input...

c1982 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I'd imagine Pearce will be relieved of his duties at u21s... wonder if this role would appeal to Neville? He'd probably want a day to day coaching role too - maybe coaching at ManU or us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Good luck to him in whatever he does next. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
