New manager

[Simon Buttle]

You can have Potter and Ashworth, what you won’t have is Brighton’s massive data machine.

You can have it but you will have to pay for it, Starlizard is a completely separate company from Brighton (although its owned by Bloom) but there is a further offshoot company called Jamestown Analytics (this is the golden goose bit) but they do actually pay for it.

Yes totally. I just wonder where we fit in the soap opera.

Like has he shown an interest? I mean maybe he's using us to pressure them, but I can't imagine we have just asked Potter. I sense Thelwell is a fan and then owners are too.

If Potter is our number 1, I wonder how long we will wait for him?

If you are West Ham though, like Id honestly just keep Lopetegui for 6 months than only giving Potter 6 months.

Short term 6 month contracts are never ever a good idea in footy.

I don't know if Potter was or is first choice (for either us or west ham tbh) but both clubs seemed to want to wait until summer to reset suggesting maybe he wasn't west hams as you'd think he has the tools to work with already there so wouldnt need that period of time he may need here to change the style

Being reported this morning that he has agreed an initial 6 months with option to extend to 2.5 years that's incentive based. He is going there either way. Lopetgui's presser has been cancelled.

A bit shoddy from WH. As much as I think we need to remove Dyche, I would expect he would not be treated like that when the time comes.

Eddie Howe. 33-1
Just saying (again)

 

[blulouie]

Have you not seen our last few shortlists, any high profile manger with experience is clever enough to stay away.

Or they have not been considered for their shortlists.
I fail to believe the only choice last time was between Bielsa & Dyche.

Yeah all the leaks are coming via the west ham side I'm certain including the stuff about our interest.

I'd speculate that the stuff about us having held discussions for a few months with potter only leaked out now due to conversations potters had with the west ham DoF whose then spilled that to the media

 

[James Patrick]

Postecoglu would take the handbrake off this exciting Everton squad.

Getting very frustrated with PSR issues by all accounts, I can see him moving on in the summer.

Yes I agree.

I wonder if we have tried to firm up our interest and it's spooked them a bit, but they are not completely unified in wanting him?

Something has triggered some other action. That scenario would at least make sense.

 

[Delargeinho]

The French Southgate.

But much more successful on a club level.

Good job at Monaco and Marseille with multiple titles.

It's not so much the data, most teams have data, Brighton's may be slightly better. It's about having the people to utilize the data, and our systems in so it's successful.

Actually, Seanie said yesterday we have our own Analytics department.

 

[Carlito]

It'll be funny if West Ham appoint Potter on a short-term deal, having done the same with Moyes in the past.

Considering we're always told that's simply impossible.

I think its Flo from the canteen
