Downing off to Liverpool means McLeish is being linked (again) with McGeady.

Garvan rejects Brighton move. Poor decision IMO

I hope that's the reason and not money.

Money I reckon, either that or he has had a tap about a better club watching developments. From our perspective, Palace/Brighton is much of a muchness I suppose.

**SwanVsDalton** · 14/07/2011, 3:10 PM

Hmm think being managed under Poyet in a fairly attacking side, with promotion momentum, might've been the better move.

**Stuttgart88** · 14/07/2011, 3:37 PM

Brighton definitely a better option than Palace. They are on the up with a great vibe about the place and an attacking, progressive manager. Youngirish lives there too.

He has every right to be chased by them.

**CraftyToePoke** · 14/07/2011, 3:45 PM

I dont know, Brighton certainly have a buzz about them, but two years ago Peterborough also had, double promotion, new stadium on that cards, a certain young Ferguson at the helm, comparable size of club, but the Championship found them out, as it could well do with Brighton. Palace are short of a few bob just now but have recent Premiership pedigree and visit that division now and again, good solid outfit and fanbase with potential, overall, not a lot in it.

**SwanVsDalton** · 14/07/2011, 3:52 PM

Think Poyet's the difference. Sooner or later he's going to end up in the Premierhship and Garvan a cultured player who could really benefit from his kind of influence.

I take your point, and it is a feather in Garvans cap to have interest from a manager who plays the way he does, however the Championship is an uncultured beast of a division, industrial percentages football, much of the time and we will have to see how he does there, its not a given. If in nine months, Brighton are troubling the playoffs while Palace need a win to secure safety then Garvan will have called it wrong.

Anyway, here we all are discussing the merits and demerits of a former Irish U21 player almost moving between Champoinship sides, roll on August, for the love of God.
