Another season like the last one and Potter will be off to a far bigger club, he has worked wonders there, he is a manager to keep an eye on, the only question mark is could he handle big name players.

This is my worry, good players come and go, we get on with it hopefully by getting better. But an excelkent manager is hard to replace. I dont see him taking the England job as i think club football is in hus blood, however someone like Leicester, Newcastle or wven Vile he could be tempted.

No, this is about him flattly denying a bid for a player that you say has happened. If you are right then that is an outright lie (unless people on here are right and when you say you bid you mean there was a conversation asking if we would accept that and we said nah that aint something we would accept). I know of him well enough that isn't his way. I don't get why he would change just because he is dealing with Man City.

It’s a press interview he absolutely might lie and he should do what is best for his club which might include lying. This is a strange point to make. If you’re exploring alternative Lbs the last thing he needs is everyone thinking this deal is close or done

Spurs for me this season only marginally better than Liverpool in terms of disliking. Conte is an excellent manager and a winner. The depth of their squad could be a concern as the season goes

Do you think the Rags as u call them can turn it around under Ben Ten whatever his name is and start competing with you.


Not sure on Newcastle, i think Spuds could ve the team to challenge you hopefully as i dont mind them compared to the others.

I could see him, Mcatee or both going there

I seriously hope not. Loan or, at worst, decent buy-back clause. I might be wrong, but I don't think buy-backs are built into cash+player deals for another player. There are indications that McAtee is seriously the real deal.
In any case, I don't really see the problem in terms of cash flow. We've just made, or about to make, north of £100 million (including the Lavia deal). Yes, Phillips accounts for a reported £45 million of that. That still leaves some leeway, doesn't it? Unless Bloom wants silly money.

All due respect any decent player or manager is going going to use you as a stepping stone, that's life.

Both those two need to be playing, Delap has hardly played for 18 months and McAtee is far above the EDS and needs serious game time and to be tested.

Delap may go permanently, McAtee a season loan would do wonders for his career.

Interesting, this. Question for the whole thread and its participants. Are we the only ones who refer to Trafford Park Rangers by their correct name? I had the impression that there are others, but could be wrong.
Piece of trivia: in the 60s there was a tv series called The Rag Trade. Sounds as though it was anticipating the merry-go-round that their dealings have become.

Agreed but I don't think Brighton are interested in a loanee. Delap had horrendous injury problems, as you know. Only seen clips of him, but I actually suspect that Delap will never make it at City. McAtee is a different kettle of fish, in my view. Silky skills.You cannot train that into a player. They've either got it or they haven't, whatever else they have to learn.

Can I just say, this is the biggest load of rubbish going. If we turned down an offer then he would have either said so or said nothing. If you listen to what he says then you will notice he makes it clear that we don't want to sell but if a bid comes in that matches the bid in his head he will accept it. If as you say we can't be seen selling our best player then he would just say he isn't for sale no matter what (after all he is a liar according to you).

Lets make something clear, he has owned Brighton for 13 years and never done what you said and we have been in this situation several times before and its gone both our way and not our way.

are you thick? people already explained the difference between formal and informal bids. your chairman is speaking about a formal bid while some here are speaking of phone calls and verbal bids.
