It won't be Martin now Southampton are up. Too soon for Liam.

More inside than out wide though.
You surely can’t compare him to Mitoma or even Solly or Adingra.

FFS we’re never going to appoint Potter, what are you thinking?
Does anyone here honestly think we’re going to move backwards? That on the list of potential successors to RDZ we’d have the previous guy who couldn’t get us that high, and who was the catalyst for major mid-season disaster management?
Let me spell it out: The press are touting Potter because he’s
1. managed us before
2. is out of work and
3. still lives locally.
That means a clueless press have put 2+2 together and made five, and some equally clueless money has followed.
There’s nothing more to it than that. Put it out of your head. You’ve gone wrong.

No I'm not. I'm saying that at that time Trossard was still ahead of Mitoma and it was common for him to play on the left. He and Cucarella had struck up a very good partnership on that side under Potter.

I support the club not the manager, not my business who they employ. Yes he did act like a cock, I don't have to like him but I Love the Albion.

But in comparison the ones I quoted are very much wingers, Trossard clearly (IMO) is not.
Potter’s teams play more narrow.

Trossard often plays on the wing for Arsenal doesn’t he?
Don’t know, I don’t watch other teams, just talking about Potter’s style and where he played for us, which is a lot narrower than the RdZ teams, who played with natural wingers.

As I and others said more than once last week.
You’re banging your head against a brick wall mate. No sensible talking here please. This is NSC bedwetting at it’s best.
What most people focussing on GP seem to forget is that Potter was a progression from the football we played under Hughton. He advanced us. RDZ was a progressive choice who built upon what we were doing under Potter. He advanced us even more. Those wanting/ambivalent to GP returning recognise that RDZ progressed our football but still seem to think the Club would employ a manager that represents a regression of how we now play.
Anyone who can’t see that contradiction is lacking any kind of football intelligence imo.
Potter isn’t the only available manager out there, nor is he the most suitable for us - Europe has plenty of young, upwardly mobile managers that would be a far better match than GP and you can be pretty sure TB has been tracking them since before we even employed RDZ.

Don't think Potter will be back and would rather its someone else, my post was the latest betting which could be way off the mark!

That list (if anywhere near true) doesn’t scream out keeping track of the up and coming managers throughout Europe and beyond
You mean all the other players were wingers?

Can we just change the title to new manager or something? Stop the Ipswich Town lot from crashing it too.

We don’t seem to leak as badly/brief as relentlessly as other clubs. That leaves a void which our beloved press then attempt to fill. People who are willing to speculate then pop some money on what was said in the paper, and sure enough the odds shorten.
Apologies if my response seemed aggressive, my frustration is with the idea that anyone who knows and supports the club would support Potter’s return, not you personally.
Potter did a job for us, then left in a bad way, had a new haircut and an image consultant makeover within a week, and started talking about Brighton as “the easy life.”
He’s not coming back, and that’s a good thing. Whether he gets offered the Manchester United job or lives out his days eating cereal in his underpants and dressing gown, he’s not our problem any more.

Would be nice to have an experienced manager with pedigree, but the problem for Albion is they are at clubs that they would be unlikely to leave. I'm not sure who's on the dole at present.
