I struggle with this view. I can see why fans booed although I didn't agree with it and can see why it upset Potter. However despite two awful runs during the season and some woeful results against very poor sides he still delivered our best ever finish playing some fantastic football. Having...

Kayal was the first signing made by Paul Winstanley, identified in his interview as the perfect player for Brighton to sign. Pretty accurate at the time and not many duffers signed during his reign. I'm glad he didn't head to Chelsea

Potter was consistent with the way he handled the strikers. Gave them instructions and when things didn't work he chose other players and moved the strikers further from the pitch. Andone, Connolly, Maupay all caused headaches

We would've likely found a role for him but they may not have helped his aim to be a manager. He could've stayed and waited for the new regime but being surplus could've dented his reputation

It's actually a mix of two Chelsea sides playing on a nice pitch so Potter can take a look at some of his new squad in the comfort of those nice seats

We are looking for a real football match not a sunday league side

Could do a job, he may be an ideal option next summer at £15m when we try to replace Caicedo following a £80m+ move to a top 6 side

I would've been delighted with 12th last season and fee that is a sensible benchmark to stay with. Anywhere +/- 3 places of 12th would be incredible/acceptable but progress isn't solely measured by points or league finish

We always buy someone who is first team ready. Estupinan, Gilmour, Undav, Cucurella, Mwepu all purchased within the last 12-15 months. Most cost £10-15m each. I think we will buy some but would be surprised if we breached £50m in total, obviously not including the few £5-9m talents that we add...

3 years is a long time but Potter is a coach who can develop talent and Chelsea is a club with a fantastic academy full of talented players. He will bring in a few each window and then promote from the academy with the one difference being nobody will be able to poach his best players away from...

Yes, if I believed they played a valuable role in preparing the squad for games...I'd possibly have tried to recruit more of the wider team

Potter probably met Billy, Bjorn & Kyle in some employment and decided to offer them jobs along his career. If I moved jobs there are a handful of staff I'd love to see join me from my current employer, it's not unusual. Roberts has a huge reputation and Bruno ha been here for 10 years...however...

I am more interested that Winstanley stayed when Potter arrived with Macauley, Bloom & Barber must trust him and view him as an integral part of the system. We have to remember that many of the superstar signings were made or at least identified before Potter arrived. Chelsea may try and sign...

A great segment, I hope the results continue

Chelsea haven't competed for titles for a while and they will see Potter as someone who can bring improvements by developing players from their academy. This is a big appointment for Chelsea as it suggests a change of approach and could see them close the gap on the top two

I'm very thankful to have had Potter for his tenure, he has been a key part in developing Bloom & Barber's plans and has done so in a way that has brought exciting football with very little predictability. However CH was sacked because Bloom & Barber had a plan, Potter was appointed because he...

Genius, he has helped set us on a fabulous path and although his departure slows that down I'm confident we will continue to grow once the replacement settles in

I'm hoping for a candidate to be identified and in attendance at Bournemouth before being unveiled as the new manager of the Premier League's top side

A Chelsea with a new owner and a full summer to prepare the squad then yes. The current crop who have sacked a manager after a couple of results not going their way doesn't sound like the ideal club

We've bettered several of the correlating fixtures from last season. Man Utd +3 West Ham +2 Leeds +2
