Feeling a bit heartbroken but ready to **** again
But I guess am somewhat optimistic, the recruitment team have been on fire the past 2-3 years and hopefully they will continue to supply the bullets to whoever we get
I don't think Potter is replaceable. Is this where it all unravels? Extremely worrying times. The only glimour of hope I cling to is Bloom pulling another masterstroke out of nowhere again.
"There are clubs out there that have spent a lot of money - we’re talking hundreds of millions - but haven’t quite got it right."
“It can’t just be about how much money you spend. That would be quite depressing, and eventually people would fall out of love with football if that was the case.
“You always have to provide something beyond that for it to be of any interest or any importance. If it’s just a transaction, if it’s just about money, and everyone’s league table is determined by that, then clearly we’re not understanding football.”

Why have you got Potters quote from a few weeks ago and Gary Megson, 2001?
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.' - Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Annoyed we've lost him to a contemptible club (and fanbase) like Chelsea.
Annoyed with him for going to Chelsea (showing he isn't quite as Zen and Mr Miyagi as he make$ out).
Would rather he left us for a better club and better timing.

However, being a fan of Brighton is always a rollercoaster so other than this annoyance.... is isn't such a biggie. Another new chapter.

Hughton gave us the best football I'd seen at the club (only a jcl since '87) and I also admired him as a person, but we were struggling and I believed the club were replacing him because we could achieve more with a different manager. They were right, and we have. That's not the case this time around. Our next manager will probably be a downgrade, and even if they're not, it will take time before we're at this level again.
I agree with what you wrote up to that point - Newcastle have the money to reject the bids that we accept. Unlike us, they can offer their manager a limitless budget.and even Newcastle with an entire country behind them will struggle to break the Top 6 dominance.
