Juego de Posición
There are usually problems in the implementation in training or the adjustment and understanding of the players. Rigid positions and an extremely dogmatic style are created specifically for when the players don’t know when to leave their positions or aren’t confident in the other positions.

It all reads very plausible, but I am not fooled.
There was something about CH's organisation in defence though.
Article says no more than three players in a horizontal line. this might be OK for Man City, but the Albion are not so mobile and we need four players to cover the width of midfield and defence.
PS; I think Graham Potter is going to work cut out trying to get our new players getting back into position when we give the ball to the opposition.

The Argus reporting today "Macaulay, who has been Potter’s trusted recruitment chief at both Swansea and Ostersunds FK, will also make the move.
He will report to Paul Winstanley, who heads Albion’s recruitment team."

Seems a bit formal. Can’t we go with ‘The Doctor’?
Time will tell......doubt they'll both be here within a few months

Agreed. When Potter arrived at Swansea he was quite keen on mentioning the importance of Macaulay. If I was a betting man after the summer window closes I'd bet that Winstanley moves on.

Good thing you didn’t bet on him going this week.
Agreed. Or worst case had to say that while they arrange a 'settlement' with Winstanley and whoever else
"Potter had not travelled to Sussex as of late yesterday afternoon and the deal was not yet complete"
I guess that's a no.
Wenger also had won the French title , a French cup along with some things in Japan . Now the Japanese league doesn't count for a lot but to win the French league takes some doing.
I'm not sure the (semi professional at the start ) Norwegian league and a 10 th in Championship is a fair comparison in that regard

I wonder if he's got any 'magic tricks' up his sleeve... whether he'll sweep out the dead wood from the dressing room (with his broomstick), etc..
Can we start referring to Barber as 'He who must not be named'?

My guess from the reporting
Is he going to be our next manager - yes
Is the compensation package to Swansea - staff included - done - yes
Is the length of contract/ other details complete - no
Will it be sorted today / tomorrow ? - yes

Indeed. So when you posted that the Sun had reported it was done ("Graham Potter becomes Brighton manager after rubber stamping deal to replace Chris Hughton"), I asked you if it was a source we can trust. So I guess your answer is no, it's not.

I would have bet on CH getting another year right up to when I read he’d been sacked, so I wouldn’t be too convinced Winstanley is safe just yet.
