Should be top of our list if it ends up not working out with ETH. This is no slight on ETH but I think we should have a plan in place to replace every single person at the club in case they leave/fail/die.
Blimey, I was looking forward to the season and now I’m thinking who’s replacing our manager when he gets sacked.Should be top of our list if it ends up not working out with ETH.

Agreed. He also looks like he could get something out of our current group of players instead of going for an Ancelotti or someone who would want 11 new players.Should be top of our list if it ends up not working out with ETH.

Hopefully been made to look an idiot by going there for Potter has put him off for life.Boehly will be popping back into the Brighton Boutique soon for a De Zerbi.
They have a system. The manager is a replaceable cog in that system. Don't think he'll stand out as much once he leaves.How do Brighton do it? People were rigthly convinced they'd struggle to maintain things when Potter left, but they actually upgraded massively on him, like they seem to do with their players time and again.
People put too much stock in Potter when the reality is he’s never managed to get a team firing. De Zerbi is a much better manager and allowed Brighton to kick on.How do Brighton do it?

That goes for many players too. They are very good but Brighton being well drilled brings out more from them (Cucurella and Caicedo may prove this over time). There is no shortcut to good coaching.They have a system. The manager is a replaceable cog in that system. Don't think he'll stand out as much once he leaves.
He's not gonna go the season undefeated but he's still a very good manager managing a very good set of players.So is he good again after losing to Moyes?
I think every club should have replacements targeted at all times. City will have someone for Pep. You 100% know Brighton would have someone in mind to replace De Zerbi. It’s just good planning.Blimey, I was looking forward to the season and now I’m thinking who’s replacing our manager when he gets sacked.
Any billion dollar company that isn’t run like a complete clown show will have a constantly evolving shortlist. Wouldn’t surprise me to find out we don’t though.I think every club should have replacements targeted at all times. City will have someone for Pep.

The question is though is it De Zerbi or the club? Everybody raved about Potter and I always thought he would fail at Chelsea. He seems to be doing a fantastic job at Brighton, I really cant tell whether it is his management though?Should be top of our list if it ends up not working out with ETH.

Hope you are joking. De Zerbi will fail catastrophically here, much in the same way Potter did at Chelsea. In fact, he'd be crazy to come here if he is looking for anything more than a payday.Starting to believe we should be all over this before he goes to Chelsea.
It doesn't matter who's in charge. They'll have one hand tied behind their back instantly because of the mess at the top.Hope you are joking.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Every manager who comes here will fail when he doesn't have the structure to help and balance him. The model of "Trust the manager and do everything he says" has not worked for a long time now and most other clubs have done away with it. We are adamantly refusing to let it go. De Zerbi will absolutely fail here and that has little to do with his skill as manager.It doesn't matter who's in charge. They'll have one hand tied behind their back instantly because of the mess at the top.
Ideally we would sort that out but that seems much less realistic than getting in a new manager... Suppose he may fail but he would also get a squad that's better player for player than what he has at Brighton who arguably look like a better team than us right now.It doesn't matter who's in charge.

Yeah, he can. They interviewed him at half-time yesterday.Can he even speak english? Last season they were using a translator.
I am pretty sure he is already high on the Manchester City list of possible replacements of Pep Guardiola. If they act smart and quick he can comfortably wait and stay at Brighton till Guardiola leaves in 2025.Lured back by one of the giants of Serie A will be his next move, could easily see him at Juventus or Inter.
Which also applies to Erik.Top manager he’s too clever to take a job here managing a load of overpaid players who can’t be bothered to put the work In.
You cant implement a tactic or system of play if the players aren’t willing to work
Nah it’s definitely a large part down to De Zerbi. Not doubting Brighton have a great structure in place but Potter got them as high as 9th. He’s already surpassed that by finishing 6th and finishing only a few wins from the top 4. Despite losing key players in the summer they’ve made a brilliant start to the season. They look far more crisp under him and are much better in the final third and that’s without actually signing an attacker. A top top coach.It's not de Zerbi, its Brighton they have the right structure. Potter seemed the real deal and look what happened with him. It's the whole system and environment at Brighton and it's something we totally lack.
