[Albion] Graham Potter joins on four-year deal

[Triggaaar]

The club hasn't commented publicly on the recruitment of the manager at all. If they've said anything , then its in private to journalists who have reported it. Who if its Brian Owen or the Argus , then it won't be "guesses"

If this and if that. Maybe it wasn't a guess, maybe it was. Why are you trying to argue that it's a fact direct from the club, when you don't know?

Correct. Knowing the Telegraph sports editors, their writer will have taken a guess on the basis that if he was wrong then nobody would remember (ignorant as they are of how long NSC memories can be) and if he was right he would be a genius. Some editors are as impatient as one or two on here and want a definitive answer NOW, when there often isn't one.

So the Telegraph makes things up, but the Argus doesn't? The Argus has got plenty spectacularly wrong before, so why are you so confident they don't make guesses or assumptions now?

Telegraph said earlier in the week he was to be interviewed that day.

It does look like that was made up.

That looks kosher - Stuart James has good links with Swansea

Yay, I still think it’s a gamble but thank **** it’s not Neville

Why isn’t Andy Naylor all over it though?

Naylor is on holiday.

Must admit if we get Potter it's not exactly reassuring. I could be wrong but is he really an upgrade to Chris?

I’d have kept CH and done some recruitment for his 4-4-1-1 rather than getting in another manager to suit the players we already have but TB is in charge and is a gambler.

We’ll either be 10th or 20th.

A change of set up is what is my motivation here, of course it could all go wrong but I’m 100% in favour of changing what we’ve been watching this season.

If a premier league club wanted to trigger the release clause in Chris Hughton's contract back when we just missed out on that championship to premier league campaign.

We would be doing the same as Swansea trying to keep him. So either CH isn't as highly rated as Potter. Or we are just taking a really dumb chance..

A question for those football buffs on here. Who was the last Premier league team to sack there manager and hire one from a championship team..?
Or was there even one.?
