[Albion] Graham Potter joins on four-year deal

[nwgull]

When was the last time Tony Bloom poached a resident manager?

Wasn't Garcia still working in Israel when we brought him in?

Not really applicable now Sheffield United will be Premier League next year.But watch Wilders win percentage go down all the time they are in the top league, probably below Hughtons in first season even if they survive.

Little job for you Mouldy, compare Potters record v Hughton. I am not sure about Potter and what the attraction is but what do I know, if he is appointed I'm in his gang

Not got time mate, NSC has almost stopped for me with Hughton being sacked.
Gary wanted people to be in his gang, look how that end up.

We are "In talks with Swansea" apparently......

There a link?

Perhaps Potter will be manager at Brighton next season and Chris Hughton manager of Swansea?

Wales online are talking about Potter being favourite not that we are in talks but someone may post a link in the right direction.

Id rather have HARRY Potter than Graham Potter

Well he does have an advantage with that wand!

They'll be playing Premier League football in 2020/21 and we'll be playing championship then.

Potter would be an unbelievably huge risk.

P46 W18 D11 L17 this season in the Championship with a side you might have imagined would do a lot better is hardly the most inspiring CV at this point.

According to this (yes I know), talks are underway.

He has 2M release clause apparently.

That's my fear.

I agree, but everything I've read over the last hour or so screams "Progressive!" and for that reason, I could see why Bloom would do it.

 

[Bladders]

Anyone on the Swansea forums saying they'll be happy to drive him here themselves?

 

[Biscuit]

Why go from a safe pair of hands to an unproven risk? Makes no sense what so ever. Managing in the PL is obviously incredibly difficult, even those with vast experience can struggle.

11 points in half a season is not a safe pair of hands.

Those win stats are not great are they? Lee Johnson at Bristol City has a better record this season and with less budget.

I know, but progressive ideas need testing, not sure competing at the bottom end of the Premier League with a limited budget is where you do that. You look along the coast at Southampton with Hasenhüttl as a progressive appointment, but he has real proven experience in the Bundesliga.

How does it make sense to replace CH with a manager who has no Premier experience?

 

[Bold Seagull]

9 other teams scored more goals than them too.

Feels like this is exactly the same thinking that took us from Garcia to Hyppia.

Other than 2 seasons or so in the Swedish top flight, he has no top flight experience anywhere, let alone the Premier League.
