Judas III's news conference at 16.30pm... on 16:59 - May 20 by Joe_bradshaw | Kissing the badge is no big deal as far as I’m concerned. I’m sure they meant it at that moment. It’s like kissing a girl and really meaning it then looking over her shoulder and seeing another one that you’d prefer to be kissing. Don’t get emotionally attached to players and managers, it’s going to end in tears. |
At that instant without any doubt he knew our situation wouldn't be changing and would have plenty of second thoughts about staying. So my question is....why do it? You'll look a tw@t. No big deal now....Fck him . | | | |

Judas III's news conference at 16.30pm... on 14:49 - May 20 by Thrasher6 | My gripe with Potter is that....as he stated many times...he knew what was ahead of him. It's pretty naive to suggest that it is all the owners fault. Birch seemingly offered him a package to stay but the man....decides to dump us at the first opportunity. Hard not to think we are just a pawn in his career progression and all the Guardian articles spouting loyalty to his previous side and building a project etc etc...seem to be bullsh@t. |
He might have been told what was ahead but then reality dawned on him as the summer window ended and January one kicked in. Jenkins falling in his sword was obviously a major warning for him. Potter has said the attraction of Brighton was their plans for the future. Obviously considerably more ambitious than ours. He may be disappointed again but I certainly don't blame him for going to a club that professes ambition. We on the other hand are hoping for a miracle worker to limit the losses to the Hedge Fund whilst we tread water or decline with minimum impact. | |

Judas III's news conference at 16.30pm... on 14:42 - May 20 by andypitt56 | I won't be applauding, but i certainly don't blame him for leaving. My guess is if we had sold James to Leeds he would have left on his own according in January. The owners haven't backed him, and all this talk of him being made the highest paid manager in the champ is probably bollocks. We are making redundancies, it is just the owners trying to say well we tried to keep him blah blah.. Aim your anger at the owners for not backing him. [Post edited 20 May 2019 14:43]

Absolutely spot on. He was lied to last year when they brought him across from Sweden, on the basis of promises which didn't materialise. Look at what stunt the owners tried to pull on transfer deadline day, which needed Potter to sort out when it all backfired. He knew full well like most of us sensible fans, that there is NO REAL money for team strengthening, and asset stripping will continue shortly. He could be the highest paid manager in the country at Swansea, but when you don't have a team to work with what's the point. I would of done exactly the same thing if I was in his shoes. I wish him all the best at Brighton, and sympathise with the next poor sod who the owners fool into taking the job at Swansea. | | | |

Exactly. Probably not worth whatever he was offered to risk his growing reputation amongst this shambles with no guarantee of transfer funds. The board need to hope someone is desperate enough for the job, anyone with a bit of sense would think long and hard. | | | |

There are a fair few aspects of the modern game that I dislike and that’s one of them. Pestering the ref to give an opponent a yellow, feigning injury and cheating to get a penalty are higher on the list though granted. | |

He didn’t expect an offer from the Premier League, he got one, he couldn’t believe his luck, he leapt at it. But no, it’s because ‘we didn’t back him enough’ or ‘he was lied to’ and otherwise of course he would have stayed. Take the blinkers off for goodness sake. | |

I think everyone would've made the same decision.. especially after the Americans breaking promises | |

I disagree. The press were reporting that Potter was happy at Swansea after Brighton came calling. I believe he didn't get the assurances he wanted from the board when it came to recruitment. | |

That's probably because assurances could not be made whilst not knowing the futures of Ayew x 2 and Baston. | |

No, they lie without a second thought, and they should never have been sold the club, but Potter was gone from the moment Brighton wanted him, whatever the yanks did. That’s football. Dog eat dog, and they are a bigger dog with posher food. But if someone would like to explain how we could ever compete for Potter with wages, career prospects, failure proofing and transfer funds with a stable club looking at income of 130m in the most publicised league in the world, I’m all ears. | |

We took a punt on him and he did well, and to reward us for that punt he’s fecked off and left us in the shite. He knew there would be difficulties because we were a relegated club, all this ‘he wasn’t promised this or he wasn’t assured that’ is all crap... feck him. | | | |

Rosy ish. I agree with your point though. Not many managers would choose to remain at Championship level when there is a Premier League job on offer. | |
