I'm pretty sure it's not going to be Martinez.

Management Poll: Who do you want most as our next manager?

Ten Hag would also have been a gamble. Ajax are set up as a club, they go about their business the same way whoever the manager is. Ten Hag has won them the title yes, but it’s very hard to judge him as a manager based solely on his history in the Dutch League.
Klopp had won the Bundesliga title with Dortmund, a far bigger indicator of his talents, before joining Liverpool. Ten Hag isn't proven, just as much of a gamble as Potter is in my book
We aren’t attractive to top managers, not to the point where they’d choose us over other clubs, so a Potter is about the best we can get at the moment
It’s just how it is, and it’s Levy’s fault
Yeah we did.
A squad good enough to reach numerous semi finals and finals, including the biggest club competition of them all and blew the lot.
Of course some will put all the blame on Levy which is unreasonable.
To say we got nothing from the Poch era is just madness to me. Loved watching us play most weeks for several years. Insane Champions League moments. Within striking distance of a league title once or twice. Had we won a cup I don't think I'd feel much different about his tenure than I do without one.
After the unforgivable summer of no transfers which was a bad blow to Poch's time here, the club have invested pretty well in players, but fudged it by hiring a manager long over the hill. Get the next hire right and improve our defence and we should be back in the hunt, I'm not quite on board with the doom & gloom.
You don’t know that is the case. We might already have agreed a deal for Potter a few weeks ago
Good points.
Couldn't give you an agree though as I don't agree that we've invested well in players.
We've spent plenty of money but not on the quality of players required.
Who’s that down to is a different issue.
This has resulted in us having a bloated squad of too many average players.
Potter with White, Bissouma and Lampty
OR
Parker with ANDERSEN and Aeriola
Half of the fucks aren’t even average PL players.... Winks, Sissoko, Davies, Aurier and Sanchez are below that level, the standard in the PL has improved and we are left with these championship level fools costing us week in, week out
Absolutely. For all the no trophies under Poch talk who wouldn't want those 5 seasons again? Whoever is the new manager would have done amazingly to match that record and the football played. As a fan i loved the middle 3 seasons in particular, couldn't wait for the next game. I wouldnt trade that for mid table, dull football and a league cup. I would have thought after this season most would agree. Hopefully if we do stumble across another good manager then the board won't shit the bed again when it comes to backing him.
A bit harsh but I do get your point.
As I said, who that is down to is a different issue.
Taking just Sissoko, someone at the club ok'd him getting a new 4 year contract and Levy rubber stamped it.
I said top club
Nah the debate with Potter is that he's got Brighton playing great football and creating many chances; but their actual results and goal scored tally aren't very good. So the question is how much is he to blame for the latter. I don't think there's any bias against him because he's English.
