Player Valuation: £100m
The only problem with Potter is that he needs a lot of time to get his style and ideas across. It took a while before Brighton really became good under him, and he didn’t get enough time to improve Chelsea.
If the fans were willing to give him the time then he’d be a decent option. He is capable enough and his real talent seems to be improving players, which we could definitely do with.
The 3 teams he managed before Chelsea he managed to improve individual players, create a system which was more effective than the sum of its parts and the play was easy on the eye.
Where we are at the moment, we need Thelwell to identify top young players and a manager to develop and improve them.
Instantly Patterson, Branthwaite, Onana and Garner would be used correctly and develop to a superior level than under Dyche. The money lost on paying Dyche off would be covered by the massive improvements in player development.
Also if we see the team in mid table Potter probably gets 2-3 seasons of peace before we expect further improvement.
MJy number 1 choice if we could get him....

Yes he wasnt on the list but id have had him years ago. Gamechanger but probably best to come in if we sneaked to safety in March/April. Instant hire who would need a full preseason and time to acclimatise.
Don`t get the Potter hype, his stats are marginally better than Dyche... if you are going to sack Dyche get someone that will make a difference not a guy who will only do slightly better, maybe! Someone with a proper track record of winning games and silverware who will bring a genuine winners mentality rather than all the losers we`ve had previously.

Little confused here...
Osterlund he did wonders with.
Swansea he gave an identity and used young players to replace those sold when relegated https://www.wearebrighton.com/newsopinion/the-swansea-view-on-graham-potter/
Brighton he gradually improved their play, gave them an identity, developed players and but for quality forwards would have achieved far more - De Zerbi had massively benefitted from the foundations left.
If we brought him in and stabilised around mid table he would be just the person you would want for 3 seasons to create an identity, develop young players and give us something to watch and get behind.
Im not sure what people think is wrong with him....we would have never had a chance when he was at Brighton.
