Maybe, It's certainly a risk I'm willing to take.If they do, then they’ll probably go straight to Chelsea, United, City, bypassing us. We need to take some risks or we’ll fade into midtable post-Kane IMO.

Yeah it really gets a reaction having any positive words to say about Potter. I'm personally wanting Slot but agree Potter would be a great shout also but whenever I mention him I'm met with sarcasm and contempt.I by no means want Potter to be our next manager, but for the life of me I can’t understand some people clamouring for someone like Kompany and dismissing Potter.
Neither are right for us right now but I definitely put Potter above Kompany.
Anyway, Arne Slot’s blue and white army!!!!!
Brighton scored 28 in 20 before Potter left. But they scored 27 of those goals in the 15 matches immediately prior to his departure. An average of 1.8 goals per match.
Since De Zerbi took over they have scored 38 goals in the 20 PL matches. An average of 1.9 goals per match.
De Zerbi has done well but it's a continuation of how Brighton ended last season/started this season rather than a complete turnaround.
Ah apologies, I read the tone of your initial message poorly. Appreciate you clearing it up all the same thoughI'm just yanking your chain matey. I'm an old timer who has no time for all these newly invented stats, or imo pointless graphic charts and stuff. I guess I'm just a miserable old sod at the end of the day so just ignore me.
A few years ago Ajax were a force to be reckoned with but these days they’ve lost their best players. They’re a shadow of their former selves. PSV are average and although Feyenoord look like becoming champions when you look at the calibre of players they’ve have may be 1 or 2 who look decent… as an example they play Jahanbakhsh as a wide forward. Whilst at Brighton he scored a stunning 2 goals in 52 games. I’m not playing down Slot’s achievements but the standard in the Dutch league or the quality of players isn’t what it once was. People will say they turned over Shakhtar Donetsk 7-1, they did but look at the state of their squad and circumstances (war), they’re nowhere near as good as they once were.
The quality of the league isnt particularly relevent, more if the skills they need in that league are transferable to the PL.No nothing about Slot, but would have concerns about the quality of league he operates in, as previous posters have alluded to it's probably the equivalent of the championship apart from a couple of teams.
With that in mind should Kompany not be considered as string a contender as Slot for his short term achievements at Burnley?
Either way I remain apathetic and feel kind of sorry for whoever gets the job, having being filled with false promises, have to deal with trying to convince Kane to stay and then have to deal daily with DL and our board.
Lol , same posters who dislike any comment I make on Potter. I think it's like a tic or somethingI never usually do this, but how on earth does a factual post warrant a dislike @YB123 and @BedfordshireSpud? I'm genuinely curious because disliking a post, the substance of which is statistical, is just a bit weird.

Slot has a massive Dutch Cup match against Ajax on Wednesday if you’d like to tune in and see the experience firsthand. I’m all in.
The poorly executed technique of skim-reading. Poster spots a name they discredit and hits “dislike” without checking the substance or context of what is being said.Lol , same posters who dislike any comment I make on Potter. I think it's like a tic or something
Worth adding that the last time they lost was a 4-3 loss to PSV back on the 18th of September. They have gone 30+ games unbeaten in all comps since then.

I hope for your sake Levy does trawl-through these forums. With that level of analysis, he’ll have you on the interview panel.Is that good? That sounds pretty good.

Read that in a David Mitchell voice...definitely adds to it.Is that good? That sounds pretty good.
The last time I played the “I never usually do this” game with my wife she woke up with a sticky chest.I never usually do this but does anyway and responds to an original post....
