I’ve gotta say Tony has rolled the dice, but the more I think about it, the more I think he had to... the end of our season was an embarrassing mess, and it was mainly down to Chris...

It’s terrible, isn’t it? The initial reaction and underlying and unbiased assumptions of many on here. Namely Ashworth is already a problem and Potter isn’t interested because he isn’t touting himself. Strangely, people complained extensively that Poyet flirted regularly with the idea of moving to a ‘bigger’ club.

Totally agree.
Mate and I were talking before the City game saying he should go as soon as possible because if he was in charge at he start of the season we'd be knackered. Personally feel we'd have been nailed on relegation fodder making it harder for us to get someone in to try and beat the drop.
Of course there's no guarantee that won't happen with the new man.

Can't people stop bouncing this when there is no news
Each time I see it at the top of the board, i think.........

The recent news that "Swansea have offered Potter an improved contract" I think is extremely telling. Think about it. Why would they announce it. Wouldn't they wait until he accepted before announcing that? Swansea ownership are already under extreme flack from their fans, this is a PR move to show there's nothing more they can do.
I expect Graham Potter to be holding the Albion flag next week with an announcement sometime after Monday. Keep the faith.

Phil won't be top of the list because he is in another job until July - and the club want someone in soon [ short delay, not long delay ] ( according to the argus ).
If he suddenly resigns... then is the time to speculate !

He’s not going to resign before the World Cup.

Which means he won't be our next manager.... timing all wrong for him and us... so everyone can relax..!

The thing about Swansea that will maybe turn him against them is that they allegedly made a number of promises when he signed with them that they then promptly reneged on so he may not entirely trust them. Who knows

Anyhow... Potter doesn't appear to have rushed to sign the new Swansea deal...
They only gave it to him yesterday at the earliest.....by the time he's reviewed it, spoke to his agent, family etc, then decided he wants to speak to us...... Would be surprised if we hear anything for at least a few days.

Not coming.Swansea have told him he would have to change his name to Poitier if he came to Brighton.

strong and stable with me, or...
Southampton sacked Mark Hughes on 03 December, compensation was agreed with Leipzig and Hasenhüttl appointed by 05 December and in charge of the team for their game v Cardiff on 08 December. Just saying.

Did Leipzig try and keep him, or turn down Southamptons first approach?

Mid season versus end of season being the crucial difference there.

I'm not making a big deal of it, just saying that these appointments can be done quickly.

He was not employed elsewhere at the time, and he beat the drop by 5 points instead of 2, Saints would have been in 17th on the same points we finished with if we had reversed the 1-0 defeat to them at home, I think Tony is looking for a bit more of an improvement than that.
That's a decent shout. Potter may choose to stay with Swansea, or he may want to come here (if he's offered the job). But if he really wasn't interested in coming here, he'd have taken Swansea's offer already.
