The Managerial Merry Go Round™

[Troll]

Chelsea have new owners, saying he’ll be gone in a year or two is like blaming Stavely for Ashley’s faults.  With the speed they’ve gone for Potter, it feels more like Boehly wanted to make his own appointment and had already decided on Potter. 
 

As for Potter taking it, you’d imagine he would be confident enough in his own abilities that he would be successful.  

[Gallowgate Toon]

Good for Potter - hope it works out for him.

 

Work with a few Brighton fans and their opinions make me think he's a bit overrated. He's obviously a good manager though.

Aye, hopefully disrupts/destabilises Brighton.

16 million release clause

Potter is a fantastic manager, its a good move for us as it weakens Brighton and it's not clear on wither or not he will be able to make it happen at Chelsea.

Carragher on SSN reckons Tuchel was heavily involved in the choices and recruitment over the summer, so puzzled he didn't get longer with them.

[leffe186]

Urgh. Was really hoping that would drag on and Tuchel would completely poison the place.

Potter would be out of his fucking mind to go somewhere with the short-term trigger happy set up that Chelsea has. 

 

I’m not so sure. Boehly hasn’t been there that long and it’s clear that Tuchel and he (and maybe humanity in general) are wildly incompatible. We have enough evidence to see that Boehly et al are happy to throw money at a problem, but I think there’s still a chance that they stick with a manager. Just not Tuchel. Because, you know, he’s a weirdo.

Their new owner looks like he's bringing in a more extreme version of the Chelsea model based on what he's done so far: choosing players himself, paying way over the odds, attempting to sign players with little rhyme or reason, sacking Tuchel early on.

I had a funny feeling when they were 0-1 down to West Ham at the weekend that if Tuchel doesn't string some results soon, never know how their new American owner would react, especially with the amount of money they splashed for new signings.

 

They're a mess and losing to Zagreb was proof of it. Missing a Russian billionaire Chleski fans?

SSN reckon signing were by 'the recruitment team' not necessarily all Tuchel's targets. So they were probably signing them anyway, regardless of manager.

Fair enough I suppose, but doesn’t necessarily bode well for continuity. Unless they believe Potter is more suitable to the players they already have. 
 

Interesting anyway, big blow to Brighton which is good in the short term. 

[nufcjb]

Brighton. Losing Ashworth and now Potter.

[Troll]

Potter doesn’t seem like the kind of manager you’d bring in for a short term fix.  I think he’ll get time, like Arteta has.  

[Barnes23]

Will be interesting to see who Brighton go for it Potter does go

Mowbray, hopefully

Brighton came out to the big city, parked their club, went in for a cup of coffee and came out to a club on cinderblocks. Absolutely scrapped for parts.

It’s nice to see a manager who has worked his way up the leagues, learned his craft rather than been equipped to play real life fantasy football, get a chance at the highest level. He might also help with their PR/appalling public image.

Really interesting test of their model this.

 

I was told they always have a plan in place for replacing their key positions. See David Weir coming in 'ready made' to replace Ashworth.

 

Be very interesting to see who they bring in for the Potter replacement. Wouldn't be surprised if its someone who's 'up and coming' or a bit from left field as they probably monitor coaches globally as part of their model.

Must feel like a right kick in the nuts though.

Yep. Or, in a weird way, a huge backhanded compliment that they're doing their job's unbelievably well.

Aye, we know Mr Loyalty loves to manage rivals, and Brightons club rivals are Palace, aren't they?

 

 

[Barnes23]

Wonder if they could move for Cooper  Would love to see it. 

[Yorkie]

Would love it if Potter went there just to tell them to fuck off, Hector Salamanca style. 

[The Prophet]

Don't Brighton always allow this? Similar to Ashworth with us.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Good for us but shit for Brighton.

 

Disappointed as I despise Chelsea. He won't turn it down, but would love to see him tell them to fuck off.
