54 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Brighton will probably go someone a little left field with there appointment, but whoever it is, they'll be similar in style and strengths to Potter, anyone in the lower leagues that is similar to him? Or maybe the Bodo/Glimt manager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big 6 hoovering up anything decent happening at the rest is vile and it's not going to change. Seems like Potter is a long-term manager rather than a quick fix but I can't see him, or anyone else for that matter, lasting more than 18 months at Chelsea. Hang on, didn’t you Hoover up Ashworth?

jack j Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 To be fair to Brighton. It was only a couple of weeks since there was talk of Potter to sunderland. Was obvious he wasn't gonna stay much longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Think we've seen with Leicester the ceiling for someone like Brighton. They're 4th now, but realistically they're only going to finish top 6 if one or two others have an off season. He never had a great football career as a player and it's taken him 11 years to get where he is from the 4th tier in Sweden. This might be the one chance he gets to take a job of this stature. Sucks for Brighton, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuchel only managed 18 months and that included winning the CL and still got sacked. I think Potter will need longer than that to win something. Tuchel's spell was ultimately successful and he leaves with his reputation enhanced. If Potter is hired, he'll need to qualify for the CL and have decent cup runs this season. That's it. Chelsea isn't a club where managers lose hard earned reputations. Most improve their reputations. It's not the Man U job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Can't really begrudge Potter having a shot at a Champions League or Prem Trophy, especially given he already has done something remarkable with Östersunds. He took them from the 4th tier of Swedish football to a 5th place finish in Allsvenskan, won Svenska Cupen and got them to the knockout stages of the Europa league, all with a club that had never been higher than the 3rd tier.

Jaqen Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 1 hour ago, McCormick said: He'd be mad not to take it imho. Not denying his talent, but how much bigger a club could Potter realistically get? Say he says no, and Brighton fall off spectacularly this or next season. He could get sacked and then that's it, done, it's over for him in terms of getting that top top job (which Chelsea is). The job security of any PL manager is incredibly volatile, you need to cash out when your stock is high. Regardless of Chelsea's proclivity towards sacking managers, he'll be paid well, have a huge budget to play with and actually have a chance to win things. More celebrated managers than Potter have "failed" there and their reputations remained largely intact. Yup. When you are at a club that overachieves as much as Brighton are it's very easy to become a victim of your own success. Potter was raging last season because his side were 8th and drew a game and got boos and abuse from the home crowd. Rodgers finishing 5th twice for Leicester was somehow viewed as a failure by their fans. Ranieri didn't even last a season after winning them the league. Howe's stock dropped massively after one poor season and a lot of bad luck at Bournemouth. He'd be crazy to turn down the Chelsea job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Tuchel was always going to eventually get the chop as that’s how Chelsea operate, it’s success they are chasing and if it’s not instant and constant they will look for another manager and even then they tend to to still chop and change. Potter if offered has to take the opportunity even though everything screams he’d be mad to go to such a high risk job, but if you want to be an elite level manager you can only achieve that at an elite level club. It will certainly be interesting to see how he deals with a group of egos having not had none of that at Brighton and the level expectations at Chelsea having also had next to none at Brighton. His methods are a slow burner type approach though and he will have this season only to sort them out ready for challenging next season because if not, he won’t last either. He does stand a good chance of winning silverware with them which is rare for an English manager, even if it’s an FA or league cup which will help raise his stock even if he doesn’t do well in the league or CL or win either.

What's high risk? You can't name a recent Chelsea manager who has gone to Chelsea and made his reputation worse. Chelsea don't give managers enough rope to make them look (that) bad. Even some thought the Frank sacking was harsh. BUt they will give you a good team and funds to make it more of your team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
