I think his point is we weren't relegated in any season when Hughton was manager - therefore we wouldn't have been relegated next season with Hughton as manager either. Stands to reason. Now of course all bets are off.

Just imagine what we’ll be like by the time he loses his 5th straight game!

I think he will replace Hope Powell !
Just to support the morons who thought CH's dismissal was ethnically related.

Im not going to deny its a big risk, but a risk worth taking for me.
Even had we got relegated I think CH would have gone and the move for Potter made.
Tony just dosent want to stand still and with CH I think that's we he saw and that's what I saw, just more of the same regardless of personel

There's another question, can I get a refund on my season ticket?

Fingers crossed that Dan Ashworth is not that influential, I’d be gutted if we got Neville. I just don’t and never have liked the Neville brothers

I am really hoping the Potter deal gets done ASAP. I think it will be an excellent appointment. Let's get it done quickly so he can have as long as possible to prepare for next season. Exciting times!

There is a lot of personal bias on this thread being shown towards both Potter and Phil Neville. Just because you don't know or think you don't like a person, that doesn't make them a bad candidate, that make you closed minded.
Let's not forget that one of the games most successful managers started out as Bobby Robsons interpreter at Barcelona and is viewed as a complete knob by anyone who doesn't know him.
Let's just see how our new manager does before we right him or her off.

That sounds like so far , a fairly normal pursuit of a new manager (who already has a job).
Brighton have made an opening bid, Swansea have publicly at least resisted, Potter is negotiating what he wants which might or might not involve a role for all or some of his backroom team.
Might not happen in the end but hardly a "mess' is it.
The local press say this , this morning.
"Swansea City boss Graham Potter remains firmly in the frame to become Brighton's new manager."

If this happens would it be unreasonable to suggest that CH was probably a dead man walking as soon as Ashworth was appointed?
It might explain why our season went downhill so fast.

He was appointed last September.

OK maybe it actually happened when he started but that doesn’t alter the fact that it was the appointment that POSSIBLY took us to where we are. Just speculating, maybe a conspiracy theory too far though I accept
Did I say I REALLY don’t want Phil Neville as our manager?

I agree. We haven't even had the play-off final yet so we are hardly behind the curve

It's all part of Life's Rich Pageant that is being an Albion fan.
I can see Tony Bloom saying, sorry Graham but after giving Swansea 3 Mill. to get you here & breaking our transfer fee record to get James, there's no money left.
Potter has to use the Youth squad, because all last season's over priced flops are out on loan. Potter then gets Brighton into top 6 or gets them relegated.

Would prefer to see how he does with a few years in English football before we see it live on the job personally.
Fat Frank must be above him as he took a young side to the play offs and not 10th in his first season.
Neither appeal although Fat Frank I reckon would be a better risk of the 2
