Purslow has a tough job on his hands here. That’s the problem, they know they need to go big and I don’t think they can. I also have a mistrust of Purslow/Lange until there is clarity on who hired/fired coaching staff and transfer strategy. Something is iffy for things to turn so quickly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind if we come up with some European big name though. I'd love to have Mancini here Lots of people don’t understand that tony bloom and Dan ashworth are as much responsible for Brighton’s upturn than Potter. I’m not saying he isn’t good but it’s too simplistic to think “ pluck him away, yep that’ll do “ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because of a lack of a goal scorer at Brighton. But in terms of performances they've been top of the league the last few years. Only really behind the top dogs like city, Liverpool and Chelsea in terms of xG. 100% this. If we got Potter we would fly up the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betting markets immediately go live when a manager loses his job. Someone has to be favourite even if it’s telling you nothing really.

I like Potter a lot, but the only way we'd fly up the table is if he chloroformed the Brighton midfield and brought them here under cover of darkness in a transit van. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezzaleed Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Not keen on Gérard. Any measure of success with us and he'll jump ship as soon as klopp moves on from Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spoony Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 I know it’s a dumb reaction but I can’t help it - the response from our players is pissing me off. Yes I know it’s expected they’d respond and it’s nice they’re saying nice things, but so much of this is down to them. If they really loved the gaffer that much they wouldn’t be putting in half arsed performances every week. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The more I think about it, I think it will be Gerrard. Had an unbelievable year with Rangers going 12 months unbeaten in the league, has history of working with young players at Liverpool and is a big name that will get plenty of media attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he came here 18 months to 2 years and lit it up, i wouldn’t care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Well if we want Potter lets hope he wants to move back to Brum. Do we know if his family are villa mad .

ccfcman Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 No interest in Gerard. I'd expect this appointment to be a slightly unknown glasses wearer from Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
