The problem with that is that Southgate or Potter are seemingly the only replacements available.
I think his job is safe until at least January, let's see where we are then.

I think his job is safe until at least January, let's see where we are then.
Didn't guess he would be injured for a season.
I wouldn't be against Potter in the future. I'm sure it's putting huge amounts of credit to Daniel's future planning, but I wouldn't be surprised that signing these young, hungry and exciting (but raw) players are perhaps thinking ahead, whether Ange is here or not.
Have a style, and players suited to that style then appointing a manager that fits that helps with succcession.
We had fast, free-flowing attacking play under Poch, then went for defensive, counter attacking managers out of desperation. The squad was a mish-mash of both styles and suited to neither in the end. Stick to a philosophy. It's why Brighton are doing so well and do not suffer when losing managers or players.
We’re 90 minutes in to a new season with several new starters.
Have you thrown your TV out the lounge window yet? Must be soon…
I dread to think who we’d bring in next. So on that basis I’d stick with Ange for a while despite the flaws. Historically Levy is atrocious in bringing in managers unless he gets lucky, so I just don’t trust him to get it right. He’s only had 12 months, there’s been a huge turnover of players, so he’s still got leeway.
However, he needs to show he can be pragmatic when he needs to be. However, I think we need more clever footballers. We haven’t bought one of those in this summer when we’ve been crying out for a bit of guile. Someone to go down “injured” to suck up some minutes for example. When we concede a goal nobody does that kind of thing to prevent the opposition building up a head of steam. It’s part of that problem.
We’ll play the same players today who were all here last season.
I’ll be at the ground, can’t take a tv in with you.
So are we copying the Brighton model?
We have moved to data led signings.
Didn't he have some kind of baggage when we signed him? Can't remember what it was but I'm sure there was a reason we had a free run at him. I thought it was an opportunistic punt at the time and we only grabbed him due to the associated damaged goods knock down fee.
Jesus. Get a f*cking grip.
We got a great keeper who was well-needed after Lloris' end-of-career meltdowns.
We got a great backline with a World Cup winner - and there a very good prospects as back-up.
Our midfield is young and very talented, but still a top 5 midfield in the league. Maybe we still need someone a bit more defensive, but other than that we're looking pretty good.
Our offense may not consist of the typical world-class players that you would associate with a Premiership contender, but it's been carefully selected to fit Ange's tactical approach. That soothes my personal need for world-class players.
We're on the right track. And if Ange just becomes a little more tactically versatile then we're in for a good season.

How does that translate into signing all these puppies?
Because we are signing them based on their data and metrics. And I suppose their future potential based on that.
I guess it's like trying to identify superstars before they are superstars.
That was it...Kind of cooled the interest of the other major clubs, despite having a good season at Brighton.
Cheers.
So we're looking at data on mainly 18/19 year olds, and then predicting their future?
we’ll be in the bottom half after 8 or so games if he doesn’t change his tactics or we get another stellar attacker (which won’t happen)
And? Pay it
We’ve got a quarter of a billion in the bank and have shaved 75-100m of ANNUAL wages off the books (vs 18 months ago)
But if we sacked Ange after 8 matches, where does that leave us, with Potter? Mason? Southgate?
I am behind it and the attacking style but there’s needs to be a slight compromise / flex to both
We need another experienced (and likely expensive) first teamer and we need to play VDV LB and or play a DM
