I'm not so sure it makes me think it will happen, but it does make me think that he's taking his time about this in full recognition that he's in a strong position, and is exploring all avenues. That warms me to him even more.

Missed that but proves the point doesn't it.
Or maybe they'll say there's money to spend, but then never actually but the players, making lame excuses.
No idea. But if he gets interviewed here he still may not get the job, so he'd be unwise to tell Swansea to do one, only to have to go back without an offer from us. He's currently the Swansea manager, so it makes sense for him to be loyal to them and not be seen as too keen to leave.

It's getting boring. I think, from all that's being said, this is what has happened:
Albion approach Swansea City, perhaps with a compensatory offer, for permission to speak to Potter
Swansea City decline.
Swansea City talk to Potter about this and then enter into dialogue about the plans and resources available in a bid to head off his potential interest in coming here. (Ongoing)
Potter will decide if he still wants to talk to Albion. His agent, or whoever, will obviously communicate that to Sussex.
Swansea City will haggle with Albion over what his services will cost in severance to the club.
Potter then has talks this end.
A decision and a settlement is reached if needed.

This is dragging on abit, if he was coming it would be done by now. Just pray to God that Phil Neville is not his alternative.

Hiring the manager would involve MILLIONS of pounds and agreeing terms with another 'business' and then several people, which is reliant on those people (and their families) almost certainly relocating, moving kids out of schools etc etc etc.
It's amazing how, in the football world, people forget that all this is really quite complex. Our manager left THIS WEEK and I'm seeing some people are questioning how long it's taken to get a replacement in.....when there is no fixture due for MONTHS

Given how clueless Tony Bloom has shown to be during his tenure is it any wonder people are questioning this

Your support is not that great
I think we need to be patient. There is a lot of due process, negotiation and politeness from all quarters that will be required if Potter comes to Brighton.
Nothing to read into the fact he hasn't already been pictured on the Amex pitch with a blue and white scarf held aloft.

I don't get why people think that it's not happening or that it's taking so long ... we haven't even spoken to him yet, There's no cause to worry about a delay,
As that great Danish manager, Hamlet, said: "If it be now, ’tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come"
We just have to wait and see

Good point.
When we signed Hyppia, it was originally with the understanding that his assistant, who actually knew a bit about football, would come with him.

Or that, completely forgot those 'giants' were in league 1...
There's no squad to work with until July when the players return for pre-season training, which is on or around the 1st.
The final of the Women's World Cup is on the 7th July.
(Note: I'm not saying I advocate Neville for the job, more that no one will be "working with the squad" for quite some time)

Don't wait for me!
Neville is a dick. No way he’s coming.

But that is half the transfer window gone. Would he be allowed to work with the recruitment team prior to officially taking up the job
Maybe not, but surely they'd be heavily involved in incomings and outgoings as soon as the window opens.
