Here's what I know. 

 

Potter wasn't in contention, but the sacking of BR made Chelsea decision as another contender now in the market. 

 

Potter won't short term, it'll be a 2 year+ contract. 

 

Rafa will and is on the 3 original shortlist along with MON and another. 

 

Rafa will do championship if we go down. MON won't. Neither will the other on shortlist. 

 

The pushing of Potter has made it a bit more difficult as far as I'm aware. A case of go for him and see what happens. Or go with someone that could lift the place emotionally and a quick fix for prem football. That's what the club intended before Potter. 

 

Take it as you like, I have no reason to not believe them now they were correct over the sacking. 

Is the third man Mickey Adams?

Cant see Potter coming here now and risking a relegation to drop his stock further. I imagine after stress of Chelsea job he’ll want the summer off. Not exactly like he’ll need the money after his Chelsea payoff

I have little time for supposed ITK and same goes for you (nothing personal) 

 

But, based on logic,. probability and educated guesses, I think your summary makes absolute sense. 

No problem mate. I'm the same with a lot over the years. 

 

I haven't taken the people involved seriously until now. They've got the last signings(which I didn't share) and the BR sacking, and day correct with details. 

 

Only sharing the info I have. If it's bullshit, they and I look like a cvnt. I am anyway so it's cool with me.

He'll be catching goal kicks into touch this time

Better then BR not saying permanent manager think he's strong headed and like by the player and fans so if he's got the right badges why not? If not bring him back so he can learn under the new manager

Everyone seems to be forgetting that we have 8 players out of contract and a likely Maddison sale in the summer.

 

Whoever comes in will take control of a massive rebuild, whether that's in the PL or the Championship. 

 

While the panic is obviously on our position and the hope to avoid relegation, it might be more prudent to get in a manager who would be good at building a new project. Worry about the long term, not the short term.

Also have to think about the financial hit of relegation in terms of job loss at the club, wouldn't you? Big Boy decision coming up and there's no obvious path.

Not much love lost on Potter on the Brighton forums by their fans either.....they reckon De Zerbi taken them to the next level which Potter couldn't.

As for Chelsea fans..... online they are mostly in agreement that 'thank god he's gone, his tactics and weird player selection.

I do think a lot of Brighton fans' opinions of him now are tinged by the fact that he left them high and dry. Go back to when he was manager and their fans, the media - practically everyone - was raving about him. 

 

De Zerbi has come in and done a very good job, undoubtedly, but Potter's the one who laid the groundwork for their success.

I agree, it’s just a huge gamble

Anything is a gamble really, with what, 10 games to go? Very little time for anyone. What you can say about Potter is he appears to be fairly rational and sensible, however…. Failing at a huge club can ruin managers. It would be a real test of his character if he chose to come here after such a disappointing spell at Chelsea. 
 

One positive is he is young enough to have the right mentality. 
 

Either way, this is a move that should have happened 18 months ago, the options are limited and the risk Great for any appointment. I think it’s literally a case of make a decision and hope it works out.

Cambiasso why!?!!??!?!? WHY!?!??!!!! On what basis!?!!!?

He’s extremely knowledgeable, a proven leader, knows our club, knows what it takes to get out of a relegation scrap, and would have the instant respect of any dressing room. 
 

He’s been linked to the Argentina u23s and Inter for a reason.

Could be! 😂

 

I have no idea at present. No name on 3rd.

 

I'd imagine if that's the case, it's shite and underwhelming for all of us. 

 

They "think" it's probably the caretaker role for the people now until end of season but that is a complete educated guess from them.

They tried to get him before Sven. Long time ago now though.

At the recent Q&A he said it was for the best not to go back to a Club where he has good memories and enjoyed great success.

 

Would take him on a short term deal but not sure his heart would be in it

And what managerial experience does he have?

but please don't let him coach a football team again

MON is pure suicide. The players would rightly question the sanity of everyone who made that decision. He’s been out of work for years, and last few jobs were poor. He’s more than yesterdays man, he’s  not even last decades man. No, no, no.

All very true. I don't envy those having to make the decisions on what to prioritise.

Sack Rudders, hire Puel?

 

Wouldn't help us with the manager situation at all, but that would be a fun move.

Not convinced with Potter at all. Think he’s got massive rep points in the media for what he did at Brighton but was it really that impressive? The club is run well, they recruit well, he got them playing decent football… but it feels too much like Rodgers again to me. Need to move away from it, especially in the short term - doesn’t strike me as the man to make us solid and get the points to stay up
