Hide AdOne fans expressed their wish for Cooper as they bumped into him recently at their local chip shop and seemed ‘super-friendly.’
Both would no doubt be popular choices among the Brighton fans as would former Spurs man Mauricio Pochettino, who is further down the list of bookies favourites.
Leicester's Brendan Rodgers is another on the list of top candidates and is proven in the Premier League despite his poor start to the season with the Foxes.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber confirmed the search is underway and talks will take place this week following 'huge interest' in the position.

Hide AdHere's what the Brighton fans had to say when asked on social media who they want to replace Graham Potter...
@Lufferov You didn't include Hope Powell in your list... that would be a bold and progressive appointment for Brighton. No PL experience, but no female coach does.. however, she knows the club inside out and will be familiar with the project and players.
@manley_geoffrey: Thomas Frank is the one we need pronto, but don't rip the guts out of Brentford while doing it, unlike Potter.
@BruceYeungBD: Patrick Vieira is also a very talented, but underrated one.

Hide Ad@Lorriealho: Bumped into Steve Cooper at his local chippy in Keyworth, Nottingham on the first weekend of the season. Lovely down to earth guy, super friendly (and likes a pie). Whether he’s #BHAFC material I don’t know but he certainly came across as likeable.
@BHAFC_Redi: Knutsen or Franck Haise
@BHA1962: Knutsen for me but would take Rita Ora
@JohnDivney: Tuchel ...
@ActofLoveMusic: Albion always think outside the box, so would love a punt on the genius that is Sarina Wiegman. Not sure England would let her go too easily, mind
@supaquikrick: Poch plse though it might break the bank!
@lawrenceNeely12: Only two in my opinion. Knutson or Pochettino.
@seanbha4ever: I wouldn't be against Rodgers! Not a massive list out there though that's the worry
@sussexdon: I would actually like Lampard as his successor, or bring back Hughton..just my initial thoughts..
