You wonder if that news had come out earlier in the season, he'd have bitten his lip a bit more and stayed on. A good next season with Brighton and no mouthing off would have put him in strong contention.
What FFP? Sold the hotel last year, part of the training ground this year, and they've kept 4/5 of the training ground left to sell for future revenue streams!
If this is the case, I think Potter actually did it with more class because he was at least up front about it. This - if it happens - is just plain sneaky, and we gave him a hero's goodbye and begged him to stay (no wonder Bloom & Barber were looking on unimpressed). Makes me feel sick actually!!
Evening Standard: De Zerbi is understood to be keen for a quick return to management and wants to prove himself the right fit for the Chelsea job.

I don't want Potter, BUT after his disaster at Chelsea and RDZ getting us to Europe (and then potentially pissing off to Chelsea), you'd like to think he'd be super motivated to improve on RDZ's record with us and prove to those 'Potter out' Chelsea fans that he is a good manager.
I wonder though if that's Chelsea's thinking too; A season playing CL football with Stuttgart, will increase his value further. They seem to have circumnavigated FFP by just selling land and property assets to themselves, and surely will continue to do so until that loophole closes.
If this anonymous V person (who could be a Chelsea physio - because he deleted the account after that accusation was made) is right - and obviously it could be all bollocks....
Then Chelsea have tapped up RDZ over time. He couldn't leave mid season because that was in his contract, but the...
Yes, I've seen reports that they are trying to buy Trafford, which would mean they'd have to be looking to offload a goalie. If they are getting RDZ, then bye Sanchez (think they need to sell Kepa too, so flooding the market somewhat). Be hard to get their money back you'd think.
