[Football] Would you be happy if

[*Gullsworth*]

Graham Potter is manager of Brighton & Hove Albion by the end of the day?

 

[Surf's Up]

Pass

 

[Is it PotG?]

Dunno.

Will he accept that our £50m of recent purchases aren't up to it?

 

[TSB]

Marginally happier than if it was Frank Lampard.

But, no.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

He has been spoken of highly and isn't one dimensional, I don't need a big name like a lot do.
If TB think he is right at this stage of our premier development then its a BIG YES from me.

However if TB appointed Jeremy Kyle I would go mad.

 

[Nobby]

Not really, especially as he’ll be gone by Xmas

 

[Icy Gull]

Nervous but I wouldn’t be anti given on what I’ve read about him. I absolutely wouldn’t want Frank Lampard

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Dunno.

But they are let the new manager unlock their qualities.

 

[Hungry Joe]

Yes, but not entirely without reservations. I'd be happy that we've made a quick appointment and that we haven't gone for one of the usual dull suspects but rather for an exciting prospect who likes an attacking, passing style (not unlike Eddie Howe), and excited to see what he could get out of our better players and what he'd look to bring in. The reservations are the obvious ones about lack of experience at this level.

They have QUALITIES?

 

[kevo]

He does sound very promising.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

They have QUALITIES?

Yes but they need to understand that, they have just been told about LEVELS all the time.

We will start to see these qualities if the right person is appointed, how exciting!

 

[Rugrat]

That's where I'm at. None of the other names I've seen are that inspiring with the exception of Arteta and there's no chance of that happening.

But, having read that Guardian article that was posted on here yesterday I got the impression that it would take a huge effort to prize him out of Swansea

 

[el punal]

Marginally happier than if it was Frank Lampard.

But, no.

Can you imagine if that happened? We would have the longest name EVER in English football :

Frank Lampard’s Brighton and Hove Albion - 34 letters!!

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Yes but they need to understand that, they have just been told about LEVELS all the time.

We will start to see these qualities if the right person is appointed, how exciting!

Will we see you at the Amex next season?

 

[neilbard]

it's like Bloom owning an unraced maiden racehorse, then lumping £100m on it to win

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

He does sound very promising.

This - and the club will do the recruitment properly, so if it happens, any risk will be minimised - not eliminated, but minimised.

 

[Napper]

Not overly happy but can't do anything than get behind him.

 

[dazzer6666]

Yes, but not entirely without reservations. I'd be happy that we've made a quick appointment and that we haven't gone for one of the usual dull suspects but rather for an exciting prospect who likes an attacking, passing style (not unlike Eddie Howe), and excited to see what he could get out of our better players and what he'd look to bring in.

This for me too.

Now we're not in it I don't pay much attention to the Championship, and I hadn't heard of Graham Potter before his name appeared on a thread title on NSC (Why? I thought at the time).
Now we've sacked Hughton (which wouldn't have been my choice, personally) it would be good to get a replacement in quickly. I really don't know about Potter - I only know that there are several manages I definitely wouldn't want - think, Pardew, Hughes, Sherwood, etc. - so Potter would be much more welcome than any of those!
