That's not how a buyout clause works.yes there is, they can refuse to discuss anything with Chelsea. In this case Potter will be jeopardising his relation with the club and the fans of Brighton.
He's consistent though. Always calling for managers to get more time. Unless it's his own club.
About 0.0% chance they fire the coach who brought them back into the top 4 and won them the championship league, 6 weeks into the new season after spending a gazillion pounds on players, who haven't even all started a single game yet
He's talking about Salford I'd guess.What do you mean? He maintained Ole needed more time no?
Tuchel's germanic straight talking and American bosses love of having smoke blown up their ass....this was bound to happen - January move for Ronaldo incoming!

Get the feck outta here!
Really? I mean, you might not like him which is fair enough, but the criticism of him being overopinionated seems odd. He's got the largest platform of any pundit in the country so his word likely gets around the most, but I've never thought of him (or any pundit in general, really) as being overopinionated.
Replacing him with Potter could be a masterstroke to be fair.
Graham Potter will do a great job with that team.

He's as attention seeking as it gets and his duo with Carragher causes me nausea, it's really not my style of punditryHe’s an over-opinionated idiot.
SHOTS FIRED
I know you're talking about Nev's conduct in general, but his comment today was literally a sardonic two word tweet. I really don't get the idea that he wants to run British politics - he's left-leaning so I like the fact that he uses his platform to hold the Tories to account, but it's not something I've noticed him do often enough to be criticised for. But I know there are plenty of people who he rubs up the wrong way, so fair enough if he's not your cuppa.He wades in on just about everything. I remember during the early days of the lockdown there was a Sky interview with Klopp where they asked him what he has learned so far and his answer was ‘I have learned that Gary Neville has an opinion on just about everything’. He wants to run British football, he wants to run British politics and is always over the top IMO of his assessments. Far less level-headed than Carragher.

Thank feck Ralf didnt do well enough to be given the job full time. If he did Chelsea would 100% go for Ten Hag right now.
I think both would actually do well. People on this board were calling for Poch daily not so long back, so lets not pretend he is suddenly a poor coach, because he got sacked by PSG.
I like Neville a lot but him chiming in on manager sackings when the club he owns has had 6 different managers in 7 years is a bit rich.
Yeh, I also don't get the Tweet as Ed Woodward was famously criticised for not sacking managers fast enough. I suppose he could argue he isn't the de facto decision-maker at Salford FC so it isn't just him calling the shots when it comes to sacking managers?I like Neville a lot but him chiming in on manager sackings when the club he owns has had 6 different managers in 7 years is a bit rich.
They wanted to spend more money but the window slammed shut. So this is how they are gonna do it.Wow. So if Potter has a £16M buy out and does join, that change of management would cost £30M!
In short, the players are the ones who have sacked him.

I am not sure anyone is frightened of them appointing Potter. I mean they have an amazing squad already. I agree though it is a major risk on Chelsea's part to hire him as he really has not had that much experience, and certainly none at the elite level. I think they will look for someone who in their thinking has "pedigree" such as Zidane etc.Everyone frightened about them getting Potter but this is a different level altogether. I don’t see a Potter appointment much different to us hiring David Moyes. No guarantee of success at all.
He is. He's one of the best coaches in football.People on this board also thought Tuchel was one of the best managers in the world.

These Chelsea games really don't hold back don't they? One bad season and the manager is sacked regardless of whatever shit he did. Wish we are that ruthless with our managers in general. They know they spent a lot of money and what's presented on the pitch isn't good enough. Meanwhile we give our managers 2 or 3 years winning feck all before starting to think about sacking them.
They’ve won 5 PL titles, 5 FA cups, 3 league cups and the Champions League twice in 18 years, I’d say whatever they’ve been doing been working.This is why Chelsea will always be a joke of a club. Short termism runs from top to bottom.
