I think the demolition of our club management/coaching team shows the reason why he has been so successful at Brighton. He's ruthless. Not a shred of gratitude or acknowledgement of any relationship with Bloom for employing him and Barber for supporting him. He's not only taken all his own toys (Billy, Bjorn, Kyle), but ours too (fan favourites Bruno and Roberts). I presume Crofts, Greer and Weir weren't worth bothering about.

Quite clearly he won't hesitate to come back in January for some our stars too. Of course, I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Like a spurned lover taking everything he can from the end of a relationship. At least now, I can hope they all fail and we march on in to Europe.

We don't know what was said behind closed doors regards gratitude etc. To think any manager or player should not move onto a bigger club if they come knocking is naive I think. Take the hit, stand up, smile and remember the great times and move forwards!

He’s thanked Tony, Paul, Squad, staff and fans briefly on the Chelsea website, he’s not exactly going to say much more is he.

Crofts, Greer and Weir aren’t part of the first team coaching setup, so there was no need to take them with him, and in Weirs case it would have been a bit strange. What’s Potter going to say “oh can I bring my boss with me too?”

It’s like some people have never seen a manager leave a club before.

I agree it hurts... I guess this way we get to find out how well prepared we were for this absolute shit storm.

Clear decks and all that, sometimes it's the best way to recover... or not.

Is it possible he was secretly frustrated by our transfer window ?

It feels like things weren't quite a Rosy as it appeared - which is testament to the professionalism of everyone to be honest...

It's going to be a big few weeks for Lewis Dunk, I wanted to say that as he's going to need to gather a group built by GP and now bereft of all the staff they knew.... Christ, how must players like Gilmour, Enciso et al be feeling right now... ? it's not good.

I do know what C, G and W do, but frankly I couldn't think of other names left to crack the joke with.

Anyone of them could have chosen to stay. Bloom could have offered anyone of them better terms or a better position to stay. Each has made their own decision. They’ve not been strong armed out.

I have to say, I'm now leaning towards the booo camp, on Oct 29th

Of course you'll be booing.

Booing Dale Stephens after 200 games in the club. Booing Ben White on his return. Booing the team after a 0-0 game against Leeds.

Maybe it is one of the reasons people seem so eager to leave.

You are so tiresome. No-one 'booed' the team after Leeds. It was an expession of frustration at the result, not aimed at Potter or the team.

I’ll wish them all good health and happiness...

BUT, I hope ALL their careers go down the shitter tbh.
