I’ve always thought the body language from Vichai during that West Ham game suggested he’d made his mind up. Puel’s time was done if it weren’t for what happened next.
Speculation If/When Enzo Goes, who do you want and why?

****ing horrendous.
Unless it's in a school photo from the 70s anyone wearing a v neck with a tie shouldn't be anywhere near my club & preferably hounded out of football altogether.
The ****.
Ruined the look of quite a nice jacket too.

Well, yes, that would be over 43 points and that assumes we lose all our other games.

We didn't do too badly. I'd certainly take finishing 12th. But my **** was it boring. Boring or not, 17th place and I'm delighted.

Oh and I could never hear the word "penetration" without thinking about Claude Puel. Make of that statement whatever comes to mind.

A lot of Brighton fans were actually glad to see the end of Potter and believed he was holding a very talented team back with negative tactics.
This was proven right when Di Zerbi took them from being a survivor mentality team to a winner mentality team.
He was also dreadful at Chelsea who struggled to score a goal under his stewardship.
Be careful what you wish for with Potter.

Probably going to need 50+ points to stay up next season though.

He’ll definitely sign his name….on a contract

Because he clearly wouldn’t want to take 5 steps backwards in his career when he’s already stated he wants the next challenge at a bigger club…

De Zerbi? He moved Brighton on miles from Potter.

He had them playing wonderfully to begin with but their results have tailed off badly this calendar year. They were my tip to struggle next season, so this could be a good move for both parties (a bit like if Rodgers haf moved on the summer before he did leave). As for Potter, the only possible blot on his career to date is Chelsea but given the situation with the owner there I'm not really that sure how much can be laid at his feet. Poc was getting similar results in his first few months, which is all Potter got, before seeing an improvement late on. Both men are long term project builders, so I don't see why Potter might not have got that too - though of course both men got the sack from a short term board

De Zerbi is vastly overrated IMO. Pretty telling that Brighton have just let him move on even though nobody is actually pushing for him. They've gone well backwards under him since the usual 'new manager bounce' wore off....
