Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan says Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper should be Brighton's first choice.
Jordan believes Forest manager Cooper should replace Graham Potter - although admits it would be extremely difficult to get that deal done.
He said on talkSPORT: “Where would I go? If I look into the Championship I can't see anybody in there like when they had the privilege of going to look at Swansea [when they appointed Potter].
“I hate to say it, but if I was Brighton I would be knocking on Nottingham Forest's door for Steve Cooper.
“They probably wouldn't get very far with it, but that's the sort of direction they should be looking in.
“Because I can't see who they'd want to bring up from the Championship.
“You can put Sean Dyche in there and suggest he's a decent fit for that job, but it depends how Sean views the Brighton opportunity."
