Guest HTT II Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Brighton are well run, have a decent squad and you’d imagine they will have pre-planned for Potter one day leaving so will no doubt appoint someone to carry on the good work they’ve done these last few years, or have someone competent in mind at least.

St1pe Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I can see why he took it but I was hoping he’d stay and see what he could achieve with Brighton given their fantastic start. Although I guess it’s better for us he didn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Have no feelings towards Chelsea as a club but I really enjoy listening to Tuchel talk about football, seems effortlessly knowledgable and charming in a foreign language Hope he's back in the Prem soon in another role at a more likeable club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 How long was potter at Brighton? Wasn't aot of his success down to having a blue print at the club and buying players to fit into that? Shoving him in to Chelsea with a load of ego-tastic superstars screams disaster to me. Big risk when you've got someone like poch who imo is a better manager and can back that up with his history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worked for him, again look at his CV, he’s a bit like Rafa in some ways, but he will need to sharpen those man management skills or gain some and maybe soften up a bit. I think Pep and Klopp have mastered that in total and that’s why they are the two best managers in the game and also the two best coaches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Seen a load of tweets like this today: Was there bad blood between them or something?

Guest HTT II Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) And without being hyperbolic, I think Howe has those qualities too, great coach, man manager, obsessive about detail and tactical stuff, but can put it all together. That’s skill, that’s special, that’s the difference between good, very good, and elite which Howe has in him. I’ve been so impressed with how defensively strong we are under him given it was his Achilles Heel at Bournemouth, how hard working on and off the ball we are, how tactical we are and how progressive we are becoming in attack. His man management is superb too and he handles the media and fans brilliantly as well. An-all round full package. A dream like manager you’d want managing your club. And he’s still just a baby in managerial terms. Again, we are very very lucky to have him. Edited September 7, 2022 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Kinda feels like the writing’s been on the wall for Tuchel. The massive spending seemingly without rhyme or reason seemed to be Todd’s doing, rather than at Tuchel’s behest. New owner wants to hire his own guy, tale as old as time.

Andy Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Can see why Potter has (apparently) accepted the offer, as this is likely to be as high as his stock gets, but have to admit it's disappointing to see a team who looked capable of potentially upsetting the top 6 have their manager poached by one of those clubs. Will be interesting to see how long he lasts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 2 hours ago, Abacus said: Though you can't blame him for being interested, imo Potter should be very careful to properly understand the conditions he'd be working under before signing up. It seems that Tuchel wasn't given much say in recruitment for one thing - they even weirdly seemed to be considering buying Ronaldo at one point. I imagine Potter didn't have a great deal of say in terms of the recruitment at Brighton so that won't be an issue for him. What will cause problems is that Chelsea's recruitment team aren't as effective as Brighton's and I doubt they have the same approach to how they land on their transfer targets. It may be Potter can influence a change in that approach but it would need a clued-up DoF to achieve that and it will take years to change their methods which could be problematic for them in the short to medium term.

Kanj Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Feel like Potter has been so varied in his formations, wonder if he goes with 4-2-1-3 Mendy Reece James - Fofana - Koulibaly - Cucarella Kovacic Zakaria Mount Havertz PEA Sterling Could argue Pulisic as a winger, Havertz as a 10, Jorginho and Kante in the 2 Edited September 7, 2022 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
