Well he knocked that out of them pretty well didn't heIt was a cheeky, slightly misleading headline given the actual quote, but amusing all the same (they played Albion a few days later)...

Not at all, it's a fairly normal clause in a termination agreement to require the (former) employee to take reasonable steps to mitigate the losses from a wrongful termination, in the same way as most other commercial contracts.Sounds like a highly improbable clause, never heard of such a thing sounds like it would be illegal.

This article from a very reputable source, whilst paywalled, gives enough of a flavour in the visible paragraphs: https://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/legal/guidance/wrongful-dismissal-mitigation
If you sack the manager: how can you stop them going into management for 4 years after you have sacked them?
Unless I’m misunderstanding, in footballing terms I have never seen any clause like that, never even seen one mentioned.
You know who the perfect mid sized PL club would likely be at that point don’t you?!I think it is fairly likely he'll have a break regardless what his contract says. He's been in a job for 12 years now without any breaks (or sackings as it is also called), which is basically unheard of these days. Its a 16 hour per day job really, I imagine he must be quite exhausted.
Could see him taking a break for 6-18 months and then taking over some mid-sized PL club. He isn't going to move to Wales and work for the asset strippers again, that much is clear.
Employment contracts (and subsequently termination agreements) can (and in certain industries / seniority levels often do) contain "non-compete" clauses which prevent terminated employees from working for competitors for a stated period. 4 years is far too long, though, that would not be enforceable - they have to be reasonably tightly defined and for a reasonable period, most usually 6 months and almost never more than 12 months.vIf you sack the manager: how can you stop them going into management for 4 years after you have sacked them?

Paywalled. Essentially, they know what is going on behind the scenes, planned for ups and downs, and he took a chance leaving a stable job mid-season.
We’re a mid-table team…mid-table teams do have runs and periods like the ones we had last season….it’s what mid-table teams do. If we won all the time we’d be top, and bottom if we lost all the time.These long runs are odd but you can not deny they are consistent across each of his three Premier League seasons, periods of 10-15 games were results are good followed by 10-15 games were results are poor.
I think it is normal for a 'team like Brighton' to have these inconsistent periods but for a team that cost several hundred million to assemble...
I know they've got one more game to play, but it's time for Chelsea's February goal of the month competition. Which one would you choose?
Hey Gra-ham in the states we shout “De-Fence” to get a tune out of them, what do you thinkJust read it. It's well written, although I question whether Todd Boehly watching Potter undertake training at Cobham is going to leave him any the wiser.
It all makes sense, but there are limits, and if Potter can't win some games soon then he'll have to go.
Yep - I think they're the ones that accuse the rest of us of being cults .............. something like that anyway!But the fact that so many on here continue to be obsessed with his failures at Chelsea suggests that we all very much cared when he left; if he was average then we would have shrugged our shoulders and moved on. There was a real feeling of dread when he left (before RDZ was appointed) - because so many recognised what a good thing we had with him. Even if some are pretending that wasn't the case now.
Consistent runs of good followed by runs of bad was what got Joseph the top job from the king of Egypt, so ..............These long runs are odd but you can not deny they are consistent across each of his three Premier League seasons, periods of 10-15 games were results are good followed by 10-15 games were results are poor.
New manager bounce??Funny but why can't we have a defence switch off like that against us. We always have to work for it
Hopefully Wet Sham are as useless in 2 weeks.
They are, makes their constant whinging during his tenure hold water…in their heads. Some people can’t take not being right and Potter’s woes at Chelsea are like manna from heavenYep - I think they're the ones that accuse the rest of us of being cults .............. something like that anyway!
Indeed. It can never be ruled out. Obviously it is unlikely to happen in the short term because of the upwind that would come from recent events, but I'd hardly find it shocking to see Graham coaching Brighton in ten years time or so. Lots can happen to both him and Brighton, impossible to predict. And sure some would be opposed to appointing him if the time and situation is the right one for TB to make a decision like that, but TB knows football... good results and good football and everything bad will be forgotten quite quickly.You know who the perfect mid sized PL club would likely be at that point don’t you?!
As much as some don’t like it and it’s highly unlikely to happen, Potter and Brighton is a great match for both parties.
Apart from the manner of his departure and ****ish comments about us since, he was brilliant for us. I think it would be quite toxic unless he hit the ground running if he did return, even in 10 years.Indeed. It can never be ruled out.

I was at that game, which featured Bernardo playing for Salzburg. The two Chelsea goals were indeed stunning, but apart from that Salzburg more than matched them. Chelsea had most of the ball, but spent lots of time passing back and forth in front of their own penalty area. The shot count was 16-15 to Salzburg, and the corner count 9-2 to Salzburg. Potter should have realised that his team was less than the sum of their parts.It was a cheeky, slightly misleading headline given the actual quote, but amusing all the same (they played Albion a few days later)...
