Potter gets all the plaudits but the real genius behind the transformation at Brighton is Dan Ashworth imo, as he has created a club that has a defined method of playing and it goes from the first team to the kids. Potter was played his part like and I think he’s a good manager, but there’s much more to Brighton’s improvement than him.

No idea about ashworth. What is he? The director of football at brighton?

I thought it was potter who implemented the style? I know before that hughton was playing awful football with brighton and that potter had a pretty good record abroad and was doing well with the swans. Cant say i know the ins and outs of brighton though
 
He's never lost a cup final ... just what we needed having lost 4 FA Cup finals post WWII... would wish him all the best and the £20 million compensation will also help soften the blow ... should he go <whistle>... but he's also Citeh's preferred choice to replace Pep, if reports are to be believed ... if so, that's likely to be more appealing to him ...<cheers>

Tbf to brenden, you are right. Hes doing fantastic with Leicester, won a pot and on a good budget. Hes definitely surpassed what i was expecting from him
 
I don't see why that wasn't a penalty for Everton.
It was, the strikers foot hit the ball with the outside of his boot which explains the change in direction (he was trying to round the keeper) then the keeper pushed his foot knocking him off balance. Penalty nailed on.

<ok>

Even IF the goalie had touched the ball, it didn't roll away, it hardly moves away, so the player could've still easily got on to it and put it away.

Don't misunderstand me ... I'll be surprised if he moves anywhere soon ... but Unired or Citeh (the latter being the more attractive short term propsition) would certainly spark his interest ... but football is a moving picture and we would certainly be an attractive proposition if our managerial position became vacant ... personally I could see Gerrard or Lampard being interested and I'd be happy giving the opportunity to either tbh <cheers>
 
It actually puts me off Rodgers that Fosse is talking like we're desperate to sign him <laugh>

Like we're trying to sign Pep ffs. Gimme a break.

Keep him mate, he's all yours.

Maybe not in your eyes but he's been able to extract maximum success from the players he has had ... something that has not happened at your club since SAF retired ...
I would not argue against any of that post.
The thing is he has never had to cope with any "top players" (prima donna's) , a thing which finds many managers out especially if they have a few to cope with
 
I don't want Pep either. But you talking like Rodgers is in that league is delusion beyond belief.

As I've said ... I doubt the press reports that link him to the United job... and give more credence to the rumours of him being potentially lined up as Pep's replacement at Citeh ... but you need a reality check ... who the **** do you think will want the poisoned chalice of succeeding Ole as manager of Manchester's second club? ... now about that delusion ... <laugh>

You seen our squad mate?
Any manager that has a single ounce of faith in himself would jump at it <doh>
