I think Potter is both a decent manager and a decent person. He did a lot for the community when he was in Sweden. Wouldn't mind him at Palace once we have a better mix of youth, experience and technical ability, but we probably can't afford to buy that. As you say our midfield is dire and as I've said elsewhere add to that our ageing, slow back line and we really have few options as to how to set the squad up whoever is manager.
I actually think it's just Potter being good and he could do it anywhere. It's not like Bissouma, Trossard, Maupay, March wtc were that talented and played like that somewhere else. Ok, we can say that Welbeck grew up in that great Arsenal team and knows such a game and that Lallana or Gross were some of the best passers in the league, but the others were regular nobodies who couldn't pass a ball befire Potter came. I think Brighton was shared with Newcastle at worst passing team in the PL.

I’m confused by you arguments , you say that he needed to spend £240m on players because the squad was rubbish when they came up , is Hughton a better manager then because he kept that squad up for two years with largely player that he has in the Championship. Now you say that he is good manager because he hs made Maupay, Trossard and Bissouma good players.

You seriously think our playing staff are capable of the type of football Brighton play? I appreciate we have a number of contracts up at the end of the season but we would need pretty much a whole new team - except for the strikers ( as generally they don’t score). Edited by Bexley Eagle (23 Feb 2021 5.31am) See our goal vs wolves for the answer to that.
