Nottingham Forest could face a Brighton team without a manager
BRIGHTON could be managerless by the time they visit the City Ground a week on Saturday to face Nottingham Forest in their crunch clash with their promotion rivals.
Struggling Premier League side Reading's managerial search today turned to Brighton's Gus Poyet.

Gus Poyet
Brian McDermott was last week relieved of his duties at the Madejski Stadium helm after a run of four successive league defeats left the Royals in serious danger of an immediate return to the npower Championship.
It is understood Reading's Russian owner Anton Zingarevich is in the country as the search for a replacement continues, with Poyet the latest favourite for the job.

After links to former Swindon boss Paolo di Canio and ex-Southampton manager Nigel Adkins, the odds on the Brighton boss replacing McDermott have shortened to as low as 1/10 with some bookmakers.
It is understood tentative talks have taken place regarding a move to Reading but that it is by no means a done deal, with Poyet's Brighton side upwardly mobile.
They are seventh in the Championship after a 3-0 derby defeat of Crystal Palace and Poyet has previously stated he has ambitions to go to one of England's elite.

“He won't go to Reading. He is waiting on the Chelsea job. Which he will be offered when Pep turns Roman down.”

“Losing a popular manager like Gus Poyet can act as an added stimulus to a team. All that means to us is that we will have to dig that little bit deeper, up the commitment a notch, find that extra half yard of pace and we will do,... because that's the present mood in the club. COYR”
