Then watch as Chelsea rip them away.
Reading all kinds of rumours, if any of them are true I feel a bit sorry for Tuchel, and Potter is going to need to educate this yank.
Everyone wants a long term manager, we did, but he ****ed off to Chelsea, the one before that we ****ed off because we couldn't stand watching that football long term. Very few clubs keep a manager long term when results and performances fall away. I am sure he will get time at the start, not so...

I just reckon there are good lines of communication, and that Chelsea have made their approach in the right way, i.e. agreed to the compensation figure, and asked permission before discussing anything with Potter. After that it is in everyones interests to resolve it quickly.
I think there should be some penalty (points deduction?) for taking a manager from a club in the same division during the season, it affects the competition. Chelsea could have hobbled the team currently keeping them out of a Champions League place, it might sound daft because it is Brighton and...
I am more relaxed about the possibility of Potter moving on, I don't want it, and still hopeful that he stays, but he is not the only gut that can get a team playing well and win matches. We have something very few other clubs have, a real fan as Chairman, with huge ambition but who wants to...
Micky Adams to Leicester was a bit of a kick because he went to be Harry Bassets assistant at first. Reading snaffled Coppell, and later interviewed Gus Poyet, but he turned that move down.
Would you really be pleased for Eddie Howe if he was offered the job? I would be pleased if they hadn't come for Potter, but I really could not give a shit who manages Chelsea otherwise.
