Going down, or paying off GP?

[Albion] What is more expensive?

I dont think the team will go down, but the idea that Maupay, Connolly and Welbeck suddenly would rip the Premier League apart and reach a safe, easy top 10 position seems to be firmly attached in here.
He may or may not go, if the first of those things happen you're going to find yourselves surprised that it wasnt the magic solution.

Not often I get this rude, just XXXX OFF you sad stalker.
Amazes me there are STILL fans who think we aren't going down when the teams around us are starting to pick up points and we're looking worse with each passing game.

Say Potters on £40k a week ??
5 yrs x 52 x 40 = £10.4m. WOW!!
But annual Premier League TV revenue is around £110m
So we could sack and restate Potter 11 times in January and be no worse off
As long as the the last one was to sack him finally for good

Managers never get their contracts fully paid up. Usually have a fixed compensation amount in there
Going down would certainly be more expensive than sacking Potter. But sacking Potter AND going down would be the most expensive outcome of all.

Going down would be far more expensive and of course there’s no certainty that we’ll go back up after 1, 2 or 3 seasons.
His post was reasonable. Why so rude and angry to [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION]?

As stated on another thread, the 6 year contract will have break clauses, performance clause, etc included so no way he will get anywhere near another five years of money when he goes.
TB has too much invested in the club to want to risk relegation and is savvy enough to admit when things are not going to plan (and the current run of form is definitely not in the plan).
Getting rid of Potter would be a mistake and massively expensive for our long term future.

Never late in a V8
But we could pay off Potter and also get relegated. It's Tony Bloom who owns the club, it's his money, it's down to him. Whatever decision he makes will be in what he believes to be in the best interest of the club and I will go along with that. If it was down to me I would keep Potter, even if we are relegated.

His post is not reasonable, he is a Potter fan, not a Brighton fan. Seems to think GP is bigger than the club.
95% of my posts are reasonable, the other 5% are batshit crazy. This one is in the first category.
Believing that a team is guaranteed to stay up just because they sack the manager is deluded however. CH barely kept the team up, GP barely kept the team up, Mr Magic would most likely be spending a lot of time in the bottom six. The harsh reality is that Brighton is a bottom six team in terms of quality and that no one, including my dog Potter, would be able to guarantee staying up.

No guarantees.
Intrigued, I started from the top and found that someone I have on ignore has started a whole thread using a question I asked another poster on another thread earlier today.
Imitation is, of course, the sincerest form of flattery.
Swanny has plenty of cordial correspondents on here, so he'll live.
But.....you certainly have a point.
