Just as likely to happen given the caveat Potter has placed on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 8 April, 2023 Share Posted 8 April, 2023 The Graham Potter thing isn’t too far fetched I don’t think. 😅 I don’t think he is “eyeing us up” as that report suggests. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killers Knee Posted 8 April, 2023 Share Posted 8 April, 2023 To those people who think Potter will join Saints: How much comp do Chelsea owe him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint Posted 8 April, 2023 Share Posted 8 April, 2023 Initially my thinking is why would someone with £20m+ in the bank want to join a bunch of losers like us, but the more I think about it, there is a chance. We took on Glen Hoddle after his mystic meg brain fart as England manager and I still think that was a great season for us with him as manager. Maybe there could be a way of Potter joining us to get his career back on track. It's all about how the club sell it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we'll get anyone with ambition, like Potter. Someone like Jones, who we're the biggest club they'll manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is that we were the only ones offering Hoddle rehabilitation at the time. Unlikely Potter won’t have more attractive offers still in the Premier League.

He's played for us so got an affinity, we're a Brighton but only better, he's looking for a club where he can show improvement (😕), he has a house nearby (don't know if he does), you've seen what a bunch of tossers run the top six clubs ... time to build a yourself a legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres zero chance Potter is going from Chelsea to the Championship in the space of a few months. We'll be lucky to get Chris Wilder at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 8 April, 2023 Share Posted 8 April, 2023 I’d be fascinated by the job interview. If I was being interviewed for the managers job and some fuckwit told me he was making the signings of his choice based on his Excel spreadsheet, I’d probably tell him to do one. I have a feeling that’s why we’ll go the opposite way this summer and appoint Michael Appleton or Mick McCarthy. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right and sometimes my thinking is stuck in the past when we were 'the best team on the South Coast' but there must be a draw for someone who sees an under-performing club with a solid infrastructure and with an owner who seems prepared to splash the cash. Even if/when we go down and sell half the team, there could be cash to rebuild the way you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Athletic write up of it makes it a bit more complicated than that. I don't think many managers want to risk being associated with two relegations in the same season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
