John Textor…….names rings a Palace sounding bell.

Sacked in the morning?

I agree with this. In private, he’ll look back at his time here and say WTF did I do! His wife will say ‘WTF did you do’, to him too, ‘we were so happy when you were at Brighton’. He’d take a job with Liverpool or Arsenal I think but won’t get offered one. He’ll avoid the other top six like...

I think he’ll have learned his lesson. He’ll never need to chase the big bucks again. In terms of confidence and self belief, he’ll be fine. You don’t get to manage in the Premier League if you don’t have huge emotional and mental resilience. Yes, he failed his biggest challenge but he’ll know...

Annoyingly, he’s going to get another #teamslikebrighton into the top 10. It could be Leicester but he might go to somewhere like Palace or West Ham. Hopefully, he won’t take too many points off us in the future or perhaps even finish above us managing a club like Wolves or Southampton.

It’s not just here:

Not this season. They still have to play 6 of the top 10 including the top 3. We are already too far ahead of them. But despite Potter’s struggles, their biggest problem has been their horrific transfer policy, they have way too many egos in the dressing room this season; there needs to be a...

This. Gave us our best finish ever and left us in 4th place. But most of all, his decision to leave us resulted in an unexpected manager upgrade, for that, I’ll always be grateful. He has also freed up a European place for us to try and get.

I agree with this. Sadly, it was his Achilles heel that led to his downfall. A strong belief in the most ridiculous conspiracy theories that require antisemitism as a base for that belief. I thought I’d really miss Potter, but I didn’t. I suspect the same will be true with Swanny.

Time to hand back that masters in emotional intelligence. He is trying too hard and overthinking the situation. He just needs to be himself, the results will follow and eventually, the Chelsea fans will warm to him (after 1/2 dozen trophies or so).

There will be surely be some bargains from Chelsea to be had this summer. Their squad will need a trim, especially as they’ll not be able to increase the amount of international loans they currently have (8). We might be in the driving seat as I suspect they owe us a lot of money, it might be...

I agree. Chelsea find it so difficult to score whilst Leicester find it really hard not to concede. But Leicester can are always capable of scoring g lots of goals.

Chelsea fans enjoying vintage Potter: Posted at 20:40 HITS THE WOODWORK Chelsea 0-0 Borussia Dortmund (agg 0-1) How hasn't this gone in for Chelsea?! Reece James' cross is cleared out to Kai Havertz. The German takes a first-time shot from the edge of the box which beats Alexander Mayer but...

Have you got any evidence for this. He’s looked poor when I’ve seen him.

Sadly this is true. The clubs who sell us their future stars along with their agents want to see massive future transfers away from us where they’ll get huge contracted cuts of the fee. Why sell Caicedo to Manure for £8m when they’ll probably buy him for £80m a few years later with both the...

I agree. But this is just another reason why Potter was never a good fit at Chelsea and how the bags of cash affected his usual good judgement. I’d not be surprised if the threats came from some of their London based supporters though. They have some of the very worst, scummiest fans in the...

There are a lot of rumours (that I happen to believe) of him blowing out Spuds twice. Levy would never dangle a £60m 5-year contract in front of him though.

I agree. Sacking Potter would be admission of very recent catastrophic failure and poor judgment. Far easier for the Todd to point in the direction of Arsenal (remember all those entitled Gunners after Arteta’s head only last year) and declare that that is his direction of travel. Stand by your...

I’m not sure how many managers would do well when a clueless American is in charge of recruitment at Chelsea. Apparently Boehly fell out with Tuchel because he wanted to sign Ronaldo and Tommy thought the player was past it. However, Potter was blinded by ambition or money when he took the job...

I remember some dullard banging on about Chelsea spending the most on sacked manager compensation in the EPL. The figure was huge, maybe £80m or more. If they do bin Potter, his compensation wouldn’t be that far away from £60m with an agreement in place I believe. If there is a cheaper way to...
