[Albion] Potter For England

[Pavilionaire]

Any English manager who gets his team into the top half of the Prem gets linked with the England job.

Now Bruce has been sacked that only leaves 3 Englishmen managing in the Prem - Potter, Sean Dyche and Dean Smith.

 

[Swansman]

Surely he needs to manage a club to higher than 16/17th in the Premier League for a bit before he can be considered for a position like England Manager?

Gareth Southgates last league finish was 19th.

As I've said on other posts, I think he'll be the next Engalnd manager if he wants it. I think he'll definitely get offered it after Southgate.

He is the best English manager out there, and I think that's widely recognised now. Whether international football is somethinhg he wants, only he will know.
He did say the other week that with the England manager's job there is always a kick up the backside waiting for you. So hopefully if he feels settled here, and that he still has work to do with us, then he wouldn't want the England job at the moment.

But the downside for us fans, is if he took it, it would put him on the map and rasie his profile even more, he might then be considered for jobs at bigger clubs which at the moment still want people with a higher profile. Also if he took the England job any time in the next 5 or 6 years, he could stay living in the Brighton area so he wouldn't have to move his kids out of school etc. There would be a lot of positives for him in taking the England job.

Interesting article*– and great to hear from our Dale about working under GPott – but it's got almost nothing to do with him being England manager until the last three paras.
Then, the writer has basically chucked the question at a couple of people who have answered positively and hung the headline off that! Not quite clickbait, but not far off

Would you please stop giving people a ''reality check'' - I think the way he plays is absolutely a joy to watch if you want to go to a match and be entertained. If you want to actually win things not quite as much

Brighton is a club full of potential and promise. If he can get us challenging regularly for the top 10 with a squad littered with youngsters from the academy then he would be a dream for any club with decent facilities and a 5 year plan.

International management negates all of his strengths and is real life Championship Manager. I wouldn't see him jumping at the chance

Upgrade from "pragmatically" losing.

I may be wrong but I get the impression that GPott doesn't really like working with players with big egos, preferring a quieter, more diligent and younger set of personalities.

He's shaping the Brighton squad in his own image to a degree. Maybe it wouldn't suit him to be working with some of the biggest names in the Premier League.

Every manager has a job(s) he doesn't turn down no matter what.

Every Premier League manager has an ego the size of a planet, some just hide it better than others.
They are going to back their ego and ability to win over the dressing rooms ego every single day of the week.


Villa might be one of those clubs.
For all we know GPott might be livid with the striker situation.
He might yearn for Ings Watkins Traore and Bailey.

He might see them as a better stepping stone to Big 3 and guaranteed Champions League.


I'd be amazed if GPott settled with the Albion for a quieter life.

I don't think Villa are a stepping stone to anything these days, other than the next division downwards.

Dunno about that.

Smith clearly leaned too heavily on Grealish and seems to be found wanting now.
They've had the investment.
They seemingly have a decent yoof set up.

Let the man enjoy the walk before he breaks into trot.

By that, I mean, let's get him some European experience with us first before he flies the nest of club football.

Shall we give him FIVE more years?

I don't think he's settling with us for a quieter life, I think he likes the challenge. I don't think his degree in emotional intelligence is going to waste here. It would probably go to waste with the England team as it seems that they are picked from the top 6 and a couple of random others. I don't think he's in it for the cash (obviously I could be very naïve & wrong though).

Not going to Aston Villa unless he ****s up in Brighton and gets sacked or if he fails at his next destination and needs somewhere to pick up his career. If that happens I could easily see him going to Villa as he is from Birmingham and most of his old friends are Villa fans etc.

First question the FA would be asking themselves would be is he woke enough ?

You mean, is he socially conscious and considerate of others ? That's believed to be his strongest trait if you read the article.

At international level it's half the battle. Southgate is not a great tactician but England have done really well under him.

So Potter would be, unfortunately for us, the perfect fit.

Have you noticed how no-one ever responds positively to your posts ? Have you ever considered a right wing forum ?

How are you received on the Manchester United forums ?

Why would I be on a United forum ? I'm not bothered about people not being positive to my comments it's hardly surprising as the majority of people seem to be of a woke Liberal twirly persuasion who reply negatively to my comments

Because you support them.

As regards the responses to you, it seems to be everyone. I'm sure if we go back a few years we might find a Baker Like thumb or something, but when it's everyone you do have to question your viewpoint.

 

[Change at Barnham]

As sure as there is an economic crisis coming this winter, we also know that England will not reach the heights expected at the World Cup in Qatar.

In January, Southgate will be under pressure to resign and the mainstream media will be selling papers demanding he is replaced.
Smug Eddie and Graham Potter will be the popular choices with both the media and the public.

My guess is that our man will be the leading candidate.
It will be dismissed by the club and GP as "just outside noise".
But we all know that when the juggernaut starts moving it's almost impossible to stop.

The only way it can be stopped is if England do okay (semi-final minimum) and the FA stick with Southgate.
Or if GP says I love it at Brighton and I'm not ready to move yet, which is our best hope.

Which ever way it goes it's going to be a very nervy roller coaster ride for our club.

My view is that whatever happens at the world cup, GS will think he's done his time and move aside.

Can the England position still tempt a young English manager away from a PL club? Will the FA want to pay up a long contract? That i'm less sure about
