Hear what you are saying and you make the case but if Chelsea offered him £10m a year, so what if he only lasts 12-18 months? He and his family are financially secure even if he never works again. It will be the £££ that govern his decision. It's always that way. Show me the money.

Swanny this all moved really really quickly and lots of journos seem to be implying potter has been tapped up. Are you prepared to put your neck on the line and say he definitely won't go?
You know him best.

Tbh surely we could afford to pay him 10m a year. Surely the players wouldnt begrudge that ?

Except our players won't be able to go anywhere before January, and Potter will be sacked by then.

If he joins Chelsea, he will get sacked at some point and will damage his credibility, he can probably kiss goodbye to the England job.

If he gets offered the job he will go. Will be more money, better players to work with, champions league football, still close to Brighton so doesn't have to move.
However, with Pochettino and Zidane also in the frame, is this the time for Chelsea to start a new project with a manager that will have a lot to learn at the top level. Fair play if they go for Potter but they need to give him time. Pouch and ZZ have more experience at the higher level and dealing with bigger players.

Whats the hypocrisy here. Chelsea, it appears , will be asking permission to speak to Potter and it will be granted.
I'm certain they wouldn't have spoken to him before...why would they.
Thats what Albion did with Swansea. Its just the standard way its done.
. It also appears they have interest in other managers as well so your 100% certainty is fine if you're of the half empty persuasion but no guarantees of anything. Yet.

It’s not a good day but when the sun goes down none of us supporters will have any say in if he goes or not.
The only 2 people who will have any say is TB and GP.
I would hope GP stays and carries on the job here.
I know he would fill the bank balance at Chelsea but they sack managers without a care.

He won't go. "Definitely"... big word.
Nonsense. Southgate was a woeful league manager.

What hurts, he could be gone by tomorrow, we won't get a chance to say goodbye or thank you.
I hate Chelsea, but them's the risks when you have a good manager, would rather have a good one poached, than a bad one take us down.

If Potter wants to talk to them that is the only reason TB would give the green light. If he wants to talk to them then he's interested. He's more than halfway to accepting the job then..imo
The standard way it's done is.....
Interested club ask manager (indirectly via 3rd party) who's in a job if they would be interested in X job.
Manager in job (via 3rd party) says yes or no.
Then you have the official approach.

Can’t see GP going to Chelsea. He needs a couple of seasons to get what he wants players to do into their heads, and the Chelsea dressing room is full of football superstars.
Chelsea fans don’t have a great deal of patience, and their players believe they were bought for what they already do, rather than to have to adapt to what a relatively untried (in terms of global success) coach asks them to do. It would be a toss-up between whether the fans or the dressing room would run out of patience first.

Southgate and Allardyce both flopped in league managerial positions, but were offered the England job.
The England job is a poisoned chalice that doesn't attract the big names anymore, despite being extremely well paid.

It was all going so well, wasn’t it. I will be so disappointed if he goes but at the same time I couldn’t blame him for wanting to step up to Champions League etc. The Chelsea fans are all for it understandably.
Danny Mills compared it to Moyes going to United but he hasn’t had a bad career, has he?
I remember Mike Walker doing really well at Norwich back in the day. Everton poached him and after about a year he was back at Norwich and then never heard of again.
Who knows, I don’t. Just hope Graham sees it for what it is, an utter shambles missing all the infrastructure that he admires at Brighton. Bugger.
