Brighton factually.....
Yeah, keep the faith...

It’s the squad, be honest really honest, how many of our squad would safely get into any other premier league squad - not including Norwich, take your rose tinted goggles off first though, Dunk, Mooy are the only two you could say with any confidence that would get into most squads outside the top six, then look at the points difference from 6th to 19th....

The squad is not as good as some think, we should not be beating everyone or anyone

Wherein lies the blame then? Genuine question

We don’t have good enough players and certainly not suitable players for the way we’re now trying to play which ultimately is the way Bloom and Ashworth wanted to go. They/the recruitment team needed have to supported Potter much more with regard to new signings in the summer and now.

Our squad is incredibly weak and needs strengthening ASAP.

It’s very noble wanting to regularly be able to bring through youth players to the squad rather than just buying players as Bloom as stated numerous times, but it takes YEARS to get an academy to that level and even then, only a small number will ever really become first team regulars. It’s a bit naive in my opinion.

Good post.

Can't see Tony accepting relegation in any circumstances. It would cost him 100s of millions. To sack Potter would probably cost 10 million

There’s no point sacking Potter, if a new coach/manager isn’t allowed even part of a transfer window.

An important Board Meeting tomorrow, either way.

The club will stick with Potter.

CH and GP were given a very mixed bag of players, with several key holes, bizarrely never addressed.

Of course. All that deadwood can be dumped and he can make his own squad.

Selling the above should raise 40m.

Keep potter. If we get relegated this team will not get plucked apart bar possibly dunk and mooy and is easily better than majority of champ teams we would bounce straight back up

Yes. Simply because at Swansea City, in the second division, he was very highly regarded with what he had.

If you look at how often the manager's of clubs are rotated and how, over time, it makes such little difference to many, it's good to have continuity.

Anyway. we are not in the bottom three yet.

Swansea seem to be doing better this season without him.

Definitely not a results manager. Pretty football but not enough substance and attention to the basics to maintain a promotion push over 46 games. Swansea don't seem to be missing him too much this season.

If we go down I think most fans will want him gone
