Similar rumours about Leeds as well. It’s the only way a club will break the top 4 closed shop is that type of takeover. Sad really but then this is nothing new is it
League one he was outstanding in the championship on reflection he was decent but (Sami aside) we have seen other managers come in and do a comparable (Garcia) and superior (Hughton) role.
Certainly fits with Swansea’s ethos of passing football but his upward management was a nightmare and as...
Well instead of saying this
‘And I can tell you now, if I felt that we needed to do something, I would have been pushing’
He would say what many other managers do after a disappointing window (difficult market, we wanted to do something but the right opportunity did not come up etc)
The...
Funny because in this article Chris seemed quite happy with his squad at Xmas. It has also been documented he had a say in all signings so not sure why you are painting a picture of someone who had no say in transfers...
If potter plays the system he had Swansea playing I can see March reaching the high levels we all think he is capable of. He is one player who has shone already has bags of potential is managed and coached effectively
Happier especially as the new man has already quoted 3 things that were wrong and needed fixing
‘Players enjoying their football’
‘Play football in a positive way’
‘It’s my job to get the players to believe that they can go in to every match and win’
If he can deliver that will be even happier
Graham Potter
We didn’t have a run like that without those signings in our first premier league season and we did not have one in the first half of the season with them either.
Granted our squad was always going to be one of the weaker in the division but 3 in 23 quality? Not for me.
You are right there is no way of knowing but Bloom would be right to think Hughton had no answer to that slump in nearly 5 months of football so what is to suggest he would know how to turn it around next season. Everyone calling potter a gamble is assuming Chris would have turned it around...
Personally I think Hughton was taking us down if he stayed with his one dimensional defensive tactics and had been found out by the other premier league managers. So whilst I still expect to see us in a struggle next season I am expecting us to at least have a go at teams and the quality of our...
What?
You mean rightly pulling up an organisation for making absurd comments about our clubs management or BAME managers? Hope they learn from that as those comments are the sort of thing that set kick it out back in what they are trying to achieve
Hardly undermining the England team we have...
Have we ever played a real 4-3-3 and had 3 players attacking?
Whenever we claim to play that system it always looks much more like a 4-5-1 to me
For me tactically hughton had no answer for losing Groß and the new signings just did not fit into his more defensive minded system.
The Newcastle...
1) stop playing the music right up until the kickoff
2) audio in the concourses so you can hear the match commentary on the TV before the game
3) better supporters bar at the ground
I understand their frustrations Hughton is a great example to any aspiring BAME managers but as an organisation they should be championing clubs like the Albion as great examples of where colour will not hold you back if you want to progress.
The thinly veiled digs at the club in the article...
You really think the PR would have been any different if bloom had waited a week? Let’s be honest whatever the timing we would be getting the ‘little Brighton getting ideas above their station’ rhetoric
When allowed to attack the resources he had were more than capable of more than 1 shot in target per game. The reality is the manager lacked belief in his players and had them sitting behind the ball like a league one team away at the big boys in the FA cup. And he would set up like that...
