He took him from 4th tier to 1st tier in Sweden. Got some insane results in the Europa league in his last season there too.The bolded are not really accolades for a CV, particularly the first part!
Anyway, think they instantly become a good outside bet to bring Daniel James to the PL now.
yeah, there was one.I'm sure I read a thread on him on here a few years ago? There was a YouTube video of him going through the details of his tactics, came across very impressive.
I think a good chunk of their squad is well-suited to playing better football and finishing 12th-14th or so while doing it. The CBs might struggle a bit with a change in style but are Prem quality, Bernardo and Bissouma are exciting talents and Propper and March are productive players too. Montoya has been decent for them and they have some talented if mercurial wingers. If they can find a 9 to compete with Murray and another CM, I'll bet on them to stay up again.Of course it's difficult to turn down a premier league job but think Brighton are on the decline now and might be difficult for him to stop that especially if they play more easy on the eye football.
Probably more qualified to manage us than solskjaer.
Must we bring this type if stuff in every thread?Even Brighton has a better manager then us ffs.
Swansea are selling more players so no way they would have done a Norwich type season.I thought he did very well at Swansea considering all the cost cutting they were doing during the year (freezing out likes of Fer, Bony, Dyer and Wayne Routledge who were all still part of their squad).
Played a very young 11 yet were only a few points off the play offs in the end.
My gut feeling is he should've stayed there another year. I think Swansea could've been a Norwich type surprise package next year.

Norwich and one of villa/derby will go straight back down imo.Think the problem for Brighton is premier league will be much stronger next year. This season many clubs in the bottom half underachieved. You had West Ham with a really poor start and they were bottom half for most of the season, Palace should never have been as low as they were either (guess they could remain down there if Zaha goes). I also think Southampton will be a surprise package next year as Hassenhuttl is top appointment for them and they showed big improvement in a few matches.
So really for next year's relegations candidates you're looking at the promoted trio but imo Sheffield United will surprise a few with how they play and I'd like to think if we could up we'd have more momentum than many of our dismal last few prem seasons so will be comfortable mid table (similar to how Newcastle have done last two seasons).
Think Brighton will be bang in relegation trouble as I don't see poor quality teams like Fulham and Huddersfield which let many off the hook this year. Burnley will be down there aswell and got a feeling Bournemouth and possibly Watford are also on a downward spiral so they could be outside bets.
Nice to see a home grown lad getting a chance in the Premier. I hope he does well.I think thats a good appointment. Done an awesome job in Sweden.
Chris Houghton is out of a job.Even Brighton has a better manager then us ffs.
I think I agree with you. Brighton got a shock near the end of the season and acted promptly.Think the problem for Brighton is premier league will be much stronger next year.

Would love to know what makes you think this, I've seen Brighton on the decline in the past and this is not it. We have a solid defence in Duffy and Dunk, some real promise in midfield, Knockaert, Izquierdo, March are all talented wingers just needing consistency, just need to replace Murray up front, though Andone shows promise and I'm hopeful we'll see more from Locadia.My gut feeling is he should've stayed there another year.

Not really it's just depressing because it's true. Brighton wouldn't look twice at employing Ole but hey ho.
The job he did there in Sweden was incredible. Just try to check some articles about his time there if you can. Honestly I hope he is given some time to implement his ideas, knowing of course if they don’t start well everyone will question him.The bolded are not really accolades for a CV, particularly the first part!

We're normally quite good at giving people time, but if we are bottom three come feb I reckon it would be a problem, but confident our squad is good enough and Potter is good enough that this won't happenThe job he did there in Sweden was incredible.

I hope he gets it right and at least he can get 2 or 3 players to improve the level. I agree with @FootballHQ regarding the risks facing Brighton. His style is totally different than Hughton. I already mentioned him here 1 year ago when he was in Sweden. I don’t agree with dismissing his job there because it wasn’t a traditional top league. If anything it’s more difficult to work on those conditions imo.We're normally quite good at giving people time, but if we are bottom three come feb I reckon it would be a problem, but confident our squad is good enough and Potter is good enough that this won't happen
Very, very good.yeah, there was one.
Here is the video for anyone interested
Agree with this, but still confident. I think a some of our squad will be better suited to the way he plays than Hughton. Players like Bissouma, Izquierdo, March, Knockaert and Gross should work well in a fast attacking style. While we've still got grafters in the squad like Duffy, Dunk and Stephens.I hope he gets it right and at least he can get 2 or 3 players to improve the level.

He supports Villa xReally pleased with this appointment, I was gutted to see Chris Hughton go as he has been brilliant for us, clearing up the mess that Hyppia left behind and gaining promotion (something I thought I'd never see!) but Potter did a brilliant job with Swansea, working with young talent and freezing out the big names that were past it.

Our squad is a healthy mix of youth and experience, our club is run properly and is financially sound, we have a great stadium and state of the art training facilities - this is a club on the up. Yes we had a bad run in 2019 but as a Utd fan you know that that can happen! Hughton took this team as far as he could, really interested to see what Potter can achieve.
Probably more qualified to manage us than solskjaer.
Well done lads.Even Brighton has a better manager then us ffs.
