I’m wary of Ten Haag, he could be great yes, but again similar to Rodgers he’s at an extremely well run club.
Petr Bosz looked the business as well and flopped badly at Dortmund

I fear it's going to be a Sarri state of affairs.
I'll see myself out.

Waiting for Levy’s call
The ex Scum managers haven’t been brilliant either
Do you watch Brighton?
Unfortunately there isn't one obvious candidate.
Howe is too inexperienced, Sarri no thanks, so who ?

Potter
I am in the state of mind.that if I say his name enough, it will come true!!!
Bosz was bad at Dortmund but did decent at Leverkusen. I also think that Ten Hag is a better manager than Bosz, but the idea was that we’re linked with all sorts of managers who aren’t that good so why not Ten Hag? Can’t be worse than Wolves manager.
Also every managerial appointment comes with a risk of not working out, but if we’re not willing to take risks, we’ll be left behind.
says more about the club than the manager really
i don't think we can get a decent replacement for jose so better keep him instead
I don’t get this obsession with Potter here, Brighton are where they always are, around the bottom 3 and he couldn’t get newly relegated Swansea promoted .
Yes they play football the right way, but he doesn’t get more positive results out of players . I don’t see how anyone can have him above Rodgers or Ten Hag, who are proven to play attractive football whilst also improving results on the pitch.
Nope, and that provides a measure of the difficulty.
We all kind of know what we want although those who say style over results are a strange breed. Plaudits don't bring kudos but hey ho.
It's tough brining success to a club and invariably I feel you need to have a strong workable core, one or two youngsters about to make an impact and to to make your first transfer window a success. And you always need players who will give you their all.
I think we have some of the quality of player but they are scarred, not sure on the youngsters and the transfer window poser is always an unknown.
We might get the next manager right bit we are just as likely to not, and as above for caveats.
And I personally don't get the fascination with Rodgers. He hasn't made Leicester much better either. He's gotten them back to playing for European places each season. But they've also become a half a season team, with them starting to stutter during the tail end of both his seasons in charge.
Potter is a promising manager that shows a lot of signs of being able to become a big name. He's worth gambling on like we did with a certain Argentine a few years ago.
I've gone 7 months without smoking and this has made me have a craving!
Make no mistake every name listed so far would improve on Mourinho - the question is who would actually do a good/great job and progress us, not just who wouldn't be really shit
Yeah I'm surprised Ten Hag isn't linked more. Like you say in another post any managerial choice is a risk but with someone like Ten Hag at least you know the football will be modern, technical and attractive. He can mould young players, isn't afraid of a touch of experience in his teams too, considering the state we are in right now on the pitch and off it he could be the right man.
When Rodgers took over they were a mid table team, had come 9th season before and were sitting 12 th after 26 games .
He Came 5th in his first full season and is currently sitting in 3rd, I would say he has definitely improved results for them lol.
Brightons last 2 finishes under Hughton were 15th and 17th
Potter finished 15th last season and they're currently 15th this season, if had taken them into the top half or something like that i would understand the clamour for potter more.

I'd prefer us to get in a manager who has a track record of successfully implementing his methods and style at multiple clubs.
Names like Sarri, Ten Haag, even Nagelsmann concern me to an extent because their successes seem to have largely been with one club. In these cases you're left with the question of whether the success was down to the manager himself or the perfect storm of club infrastructure, players, circumstance and the manager all perfectly aligning.
Now on the face of it, you might look at the proven track record at multiple clubs and point to Mourinho and how that has turned out, but I'm not specifically referring to silverware. Using Potter as an example, he had his success on a small scale in Sweden, has moved to Brighton and seemingly successfully transferred his methods over smoothly.
I don't know much about Sarri, and I'm too lazy to Google, but it's a red flag to me that his main success was his spell at Napoli, and he has then been bombed out of 2 clubs after 1 season despite winning silverware.
TLDR, I would like Potter, see if he can continue his upward trajectory.
