Feel like Potter and Brighton are a match made and get Charlton/Curbishley vibes from them. I don't say this as a bad thing as Curbishley did great things with Charlton. For me, Brighton and Potter should ride for as long as they can.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Why would he leave Brighton for Villa?
The trend in managers is a high forehead / full baldness. Pep, EtH, Conte (before he got his transplant), Klopp (when was the last time anybody saw his head, he hides it under a cap) etc.
Managers with a zero forehead like Gerrard are doomed from the start.

Villa are a much bigger club, have rich owners with more potential.
While he's doing great work at Brighton being a selling club will only take you so far.
I feel like Potter is going to stay until a big club comes in for him.
Reckon Gerard will be the first managerial casualty, promptly followed by Rogers and Lampard. Scott Parker might be treading carefully after the 9-0 drubbing from Pool on Saturday.
I think Gerrard will be first as they have higher expectations. If we don't win tonight I will start to be worried but we have far less expectation than Villa do or should have right now.
Agreed on Potter but think he would be better off holding out for a bigger job - top 4-6 or back abroad to a similarly sized club.
he's went from the next Liverpool manager in waiting, to on the brink of being sacked by Villa. He got 2 tough games in row coming up v Arsenal and City, then he faces his old firm nemesis wee Brenton who himself is on shaky ground.
Yeah I agree, there’s any number of mid table teams that would want him but he could argue he’s made Brighton a mid table team now so what’s the point in moving. Top 6 next for Potter. My guess would be Tottenham or Arsenal
Let's hope that's the end of the road for him until Liverpool come calling
Ta ta bye bye
No way he survives until we play them (and if he does it means they're in better form)
Nah Liverpool aren't stupid enough to hire him.
He's finished.
If you believe, they will
They'll keep him until after the City match.
Poch to Villa. Nailed on I reckon.
Has poch's stock fallen that much?
Tuchel doesn't look steady at Chelsea, I think he could hold out for that
Don't think Chelsea would want a Spurs man tbh.
Not many top managers out there. Maybe Zidane fancies it?
The thought: ‘eeeeehhhh well, you know’
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnyeah of course
I reckon they'll give him the City game and bin him after that, especially if it's a cricket score. They've got an alright run of fixtures for a new manager bounce after that
Hope he can can survive at least till our 2nd string knock him out of the Carabou cup.
"..this might actually slip..."
Mancini? They missed out on the World Cup, but maybe he wants to wait for a big Serie A job.
Funniest option is they hire Beale from QPR who was apparently doing all the tactics for Gerrard for years.
Ian?
Today will probably be Gerard’s last chance to get Villa back on track. Any new recruitment will undoubtedly scrutinised by their supporters.

They've signed Dendoncker from Wolves. Is he any good?
I dont think they would be stupid enough to hire him based on his Villa tenure sadly.
Slippy has got to be bang in trouble now. Not able to lay a glove on a Leeds side playing a full half with 10 men, and currently being compared unfavourably to Tim Sherwood by Villa fans. 
Highly likely to be shown the door if Forest do them next week, I'd have thought.

He's a colossal bellend.
I'm actually gutted it's gone so poorly for him at Villa. I was hoping the Scouse would do a United and appoint him as their next coach ala Ole.
What a weird thing to get so fecking tetchy about.
Obviously can't handle the pressure of being in the big chair.
Hoooooyeaahhh course
Reminds me of this when he was under a lot of pressure before he left Rangers.
