[Albion] Graham Potter joins on four-year deal

[fleet]

This guy's name was mentioned before Hughton got the boot, was he not?

Is this just a case of the media/bookies fuelling speculation through fan rumours?

Either way, I'd also much rather this Potter fella rather than someone like Mark Hughes or David Moyes but - if these were the only choices - I would rather have given Hughton more time with the funding and direction to make us more of a goal threat.

Im sure we will not go for Moyes/Hughes etc this really sounds like we are heading for the next stage in the development of the club, not a panic decision at all.

It’s always all about money

TB gets in a guy who can work with kids, and a progressive manager all in. A manager who is proven to have done well with little investment.

Cos TB knows that he doesn’t want to break his bank investing in £40m players which is really the only way to match the rest of the bottom clubs in the Premier League

You've continuously posted some stupid shit today, but this is the most. You don't NEED to buy £40m players, but you DO need to use investments better than they have done.

How many £40M players have Southampton, Bournemouth, Burnley, Newcastle, Watford got ?

Glanced at some Swansea forums earlier – the fans there really don't want Potter to go but seem resigned to losing him to Brighton.

Could be a really interesting appointment if it happens, but let's face it, whoever we get is going to be a risk to some degree. I'm just grateful we're highly unlikely to be looking at Pardew/Allardyce/Moyes/Hughes/McLaren and the usual merry-go-round managers.

I wonder if people would be more warm to the idea of this guy if he wasn't called Graham Potter.

Casa Alfarero. There you go, he's Spanish now.

Perhaps he was quoting £40m as a transfer budget and not as one fee on any one player?

Did I read somewhere he is fluent in several languages or am I thinking of someone else?

No, you are right.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Indeed. I hadn't noticed we had a managerial vacancy, either.

"If your missus died, would you like to shack up with that little bird behind the counter in Woolworths, or do you think she'd be decorative but a bit slapdash with the housework?"

Nobody would ask such a question. . . . .

I spoke too soon there, didn't I

Ticks a lot of boxes for me. Young - 43, English, Intelligent - master's degree in leadership and emotional intelligence, Speaks very well and with an air of authority, adopts various styles of play and tactics he's not Pardew, Allardyce, Moyes, Pulis, Hughes etc

Agree, I'd have him in a heart beat instead of any of those names mentioned. All dinosaurs and would not take the club forward. More I see and read about this guy the more I like and seems to have good pedigree.

 

[Cozzy]

Although does not inspire excitement in me (as yet) I could see the reasoning behind it and would not be totally against his appointment though I think there might be a dark horse in the running we dont know about as is Albions way of normally doing things.

I’m sorry if I offended you. I’m pissed off with events today.

We have a bottom three budget in wages and fees.
So we need to pay higher wages and invest heavily - more than ever.
Whatever manager we have will need more support than CH has had. Maybe not £40m players but much higher than we have paid so far.

But it looks like the club is now obviously going down the youth system / Ashworth / Bloom vision and I don’t think we will see that necessary investment. Hence Potter.

We shall see.....

As Cilla Black would say...our Graham.

Last post on the Swansea board......some delusional fans about.


'GP needs to either go to, or stay with, a club on the "up". That certainly isn't Brighton, but may well be us. Think on'

 

[stewart_weir]

Looking through Swansea social media the general consensus is that he's going to be a huge loss. Got them playing great football with what was mostly an under 23 squad. A Norwich fan said they played the best visiting team football seen this season at Carrow Rd. Potter is a yes from me..

 

[Binney on acid]

I’d welcome any manager who isn’t mentally arthritic.
