How long would it be before the players even realised...?
Christmas 2022...
"I just said, 'Morning Graham' to the Gaffer and he completely blanked me?"
"Don't worry about it. He's been like that since June."

November.
"You ask him".
"I'm not you ask him".
"Nope not doing it".
"No chance".
"no way, Lewis you're the captain you ask him".
"Gaffer, why aren't you wearing that really nice grey coat, you had last winter?"

This is always a little redundant - 'well what striker would you sign then?'
I'm not the owner of a football club or of a football manager recruitment agency - so why would I know?
As have said elsewhere and ALL OVER THIS THREAD, I certainly wouldn't sack GPott but be seriously concerned that managing the Albion in the Premier League gets near identical results from men with completely different ethos.
Somehow that makes me entitled..
I would add that the ‘who do you want as a replacement’ question also fails to take into account who is actually available and willing to join. It is not our job to come up with a replacement as we don’t have the information.
Ps I also feel the need to say I want Potter to stay. Just responding to this question.
Ha! Appallingly cynical minds think alike. I just made my edit then read your scenario above. In another life, in another time, we'd have been writing The Two Ronnies Christmas special instead of wasting our best stuff on here....

My mate swears by this book: Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking
Used to be a chronic smoker until he read it.
And it's not that Alan Carr. Him off the telly with the teeth.
The signings of Lallana and Welbeck look like a Dan Ashworth vanity project to me. They would have known each other from the England days. You can see the logic of signing big name players to try to make us a bigger club. And Dan’s contacts book may have looked impressive to some at the club.
But I agree with you that on the whole it hasn’t been money well spent.
Also the argument that Lallana is worth having, for his influence off the pitch, is embarrassing.
Just this week Lewis Dunk said he is the biggest influence around the team.
Webster and Lallana are the big vocal ones around the place, so no surprise we look shit with both missing

Andy Dawson from Athletico Mince has really taken against Mr Potter!

Yeah, lack of leadership on the pitch is an issue.
I don’t doubt Lallana is a great guy but Surely we signed him to be an influence on the pitch, as in he himself creating goals etc.
Bold to assume Southgate plays Dunk if appointed…

Soft fans too. For many many seasons we’ve had a brigade of rose tints who will excuse everything and everyone, anything to do with BHA can’t be critiqued. A losers mentality, constantly satisfied with 3rd, 4th and 5th best never mind 2nd. Precious, in a nutshell. Love to see a couple of Cloughie and Horton type personalities to pull everything up by the scruff. We do appear soft as you say. In everything.

It was fine for 20 mins until our supposed international goalkeeper decided to gift one of the best teams in the world a goal. Destroying our bright start and killing the crowd.
You can’t blame Potter for Sanchez’s brain fart, Lallana lasting 6 mins, Trossard playing like a tart and the board deciding to weaken his squad in January for him.

This. From a surfeit of CB's we've gone to bare bones overnight feels like, due to perfick storm of cash-ins, injuries and suspensions. Used to be we could defend but not score. Now we can't to either. Just as well we had that ultrabrite first five games really, combined with implosion of Everton and Leeds, else we'd be right in the mix for you-know-what.
Liverpool looked a bit uncertain early on yesterday, loads of unforced errors and misplaced passes. Then they suddenly realised we were no threat. Then they scored and kicked on. Story of WAY too many recent games sadly
Chris Hughton is or was a competent manager - among other things he took your historically absolutely shite football club to the Premier League - so being Chris Hughton II is not the worst thing imaginable.
Staying up with a so-so squad, like GP has, is good as well. Obviously some hope and expect a lot more than that but unfortunately reality has a bit too much to say on that subject.

Can’t believe you got a thumbs up on a BHA message board for that
Maybe some people realise what a lot of fans of small clubs realise.. that they are or were shite, but that it really doesnt matter. If people are cheering for Brighton due to glory and success you seriously have to question their sanity.
