He won’t come here
He knows he can pick his next move
Although I’m not sure where would be next for him
Possibly city when Pep gets bored

I agree
But fans have to accept you can’t judge a project manager on 10 games

City are not going to hire Potter from Brighton, they’ll want a name.
Gazza Dazzla
Chris Perry
Not on results no, but I think after 10 games / 3 months you would see some sort of change of system or plan of playing. As long as fans saw that then I think he’d get buy in. Not what we are currently being served up for example.

There ain’t any names out there now
The big jobs have the few names already in place
Gazza
Nick Barmby
100% be gobsmacked if Potter goes to city in his next move. No chance.
Potters next move has to be someone like Spurs, Arsenal, Leicester etc

Don’t agree
Again I’ve highlighted it before but fans were not happy in Pochs 10 games… there is a lot to re writing of history on that front. He even highlights it in his book.
Someone posted earlier than Jose a first 10 games had us top forgetting go the season before
Football fans have very short memories as games come thick and fast

Still not convinced by players or manager they are so fragile
PS just watched Brighton on MOTD very good

Why?
Who would city get otherwise?
Said it earlier you can name the 3 best managers in the world and you have them in the prem already (pep, Klopp and now a Tuchel). Beyond that it’s very meh…
The standouts are guys elevating clubs with style and substance
Gallardo has done it in Argentina
potter is doing it at Brighton
Not seen anyone do it recently in Germany
Spain??? Anyone
I do rate Galtier but why didn’t a bigger club get him this summer?

Agree
But confidence breeds confidence
They have it now and there not conceding either
Ignore current performances, any manager at a club the size of Brighton would leave to join a club like Spurs in a heartbeat.
If he gets things right with Brighton then he's fighting for a Europa place. If he gets things right with Spurs then he's fighting for the title.
My concern with Potter is the same as with Poch - he's never managed a team at the sharp end of the league and that's a very different challenge to anything he's ever faced.

You can say what you like but by the time city are ready to replace pep, Potter will not be in the running, it will be someone who has won a league abroad, as they have always done since being financially doped.
He has paid managers very well previously. Mourinho was paid 8-10m a year.
Potter is on 1.5m, so it's well within budget to offer a big increase on that.
He can't do any worse than Nuno and it will be a lot more entertaining. There's only one way to find out if he can do a job at the sharp end...

Exactly the sort of manager levy and Co would want. Take a calculated punt on a manager who will play to their rules due to being naive in what it takes to win titles.
Wouldn't cost the most either. Both points ticked.

I thought he had already rejected us? He is in a job where he is doing well, and that may be far more important to him than doubling or trebling his pay packet.

If I was Potter, I’d wait till Rodgers gets that bigger move and head to Leicester. We’re a basket case club currently.

That’s a very very small pool

But would our supporters give him the time that he needs. Whoever comes in, we are mid season and extremely unlikely to snap from our current malaise to title winning form. And if he doesn’t think that we would support the team and him through those spells them he’s risking throwing it away only to be another short term victim with us.
Right now, he must be enjoying life at Brighton. We need him to believe that life can be that good for him with us.
