I started last season's Brighton thread singing Graham Potter's praises and I still stand by it, Potter is continuing to do an excellent job down there. To lose Bissouma and Cucurella and it barely be noticeable is all down to coaching. I wonder which club will be the first to knock on Brighton's door for him, not that he has to go, they have a good setup down there.


Welbeck was very good yesterday, as was Lallana, they have a couple of very good players in Lamptey and Trossard. However, the one to watch for me is Caicedo, finished the season excellently and he was very good yesterday.

A fit Danny Welbeck is a nuisance, Potter is a good manager he needs to pick his next club carefully. Don't leave Brighton for Everton or Villa.

Agreed, he's already put Brighton in the same mix as those clubs. It has to be a much bigger step when he does go.

I reckon Slippy will be sacked by Xmas at Villa. Potter will replace him. Definitely the best English manager around.

I think he'd be better off staying at Brighton for the time being if Villa became an option. Then again, Villa have a bit more spending power but unless one of the so-called Big Six had a vacancy available (which they don't at the moment), anything else would be a virtual sideways step at best IMO, apart from perhaps Newcastle but again, Howe seems well set there for the foreseeable.

Maybe some already have, but Potter decided, for whatever reason, that the time wasn’t right to leave.

Ooh, you've got a Brighton thread, I might stick around post Cucu saga:p

Villa is the club I am probably most nervous about, because he's a Brummie and rumoured, although not definite, to be a Villa fan. Certainly his family are. That's always a pull.

None of the big seven (have to include Newcastle there now) are likely to have a vacancy this season, so fairly content, although obviously United may be interested after what we've just done to them, Arsenal could be an option if Arteta doesn't kick on (and they've already shown they will hire an inexperienced coach) and Newcastle too because he worked very well with Dan Ashworth for three seasons. But most of not all of these clubs are likely to want someone with CL experience for their next manager.

He'd be a great continuity candidate for you when Pep moves on, but it's a big leap, how happy would you lot be if that happened?

He'll go one day but we're enjoying the ride, and the real stability and club strategy is driven from the very top, there's only one man who is irreplaceable at Brighton.
