There's always this one, though I feel crucifixion may be a little harsh for Graham Potter and his team...! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJUhlRoBL8M

The answer is really simple and staring people in the face. Employ a shit manager and a few pony players. No one will want either when we're in a relegation battle or the Championship. Easy really...!

My take, if anyone is interested, is that Starmer went easy for first PMQs. Little or no point coming out all guns blazing, instead give the Government time to make more mistakes, then strike. Otherwise it would have been just raking over hot coals of the old administration.

I guess the difference is these guys are currently working at and for the club. Unless the suggestion is that Calderón in particular has been told to go out and get some coaching experience, bit like our development players going out on loan! If so, that will make us no better than Chelsea...

I think as Harry pointed out, we have a history of being a lower league club and some still appear to have that mentality. If the people you name are the best for the job, then great as they may understand the "Brighton way". But recruitment should not be based solely on past association.

Neither Calderón or Jones are "around the club" just ex employees trading their wares elsewhere... Lallana on the other hand was brought in with the express purpose of getting coaching experience as he winds his playing career down. That is more Tony's style I would say, like buying cheap...

This 100%, Barber has already said the club keeps an eye on managers and coaches around the world, with an eye on availability and contract lengths. We shouldn't get so fixated on past names like Jones and Calderón.

For me, we need to stop living in the past and look forward. I am sure there are plenty of coaches who can speak Spanish, without dredging up all our ex’s...

No it didn’t and no they don’t.

Ironically the current England manager took up his first manager's position without the required coaching qualifications (of the time).

Has Adam Lallana taken any of his coaching badges?

A little thought did enter my mind. Was this move to Chelsea already on the cards when Chelsea gazumped Manchester City for Cucurella's signature, had the ground work been laid at that time, was Potter tapped up? I love a conspiracy theory me! :lol:

I sort of understand what you are saying, but if, as mentioned here Graham Potter is currently on £2 million a year, equating to over £1 million take home, clearly Chelsea can improve on that, but how much of a "nest egg" does his family need? A good manager's career is less likely to be as...

No...

Agree, I've not seen him recommend fixed price since pre August 2021, when he was telling everyone to revert to standard tarrifs as deals ran out.

To be fair to him he didn't say it would be taken away, just he couldn't guarantee it would still be paid. Think he was trying to cover all bases.

I was fairly confident the £400 for all was safe, I was more interested personally, what they would do with the 2nd installment of the £650 for those on certain benefits and the £150 for those on PIP or DLA? It was Martin Lewis who raised the idea these additional payments might not be a given...

3 to 1 ON...

Bookmakers have Potter as 3 to 1 on to be Chelsea’s new manager! The bookies do sometimes get these things wrong, let’s hope this is one of those times.
