I agree with this, except I think the list of clubs who could retain them is slightly longer (but that’s not really important to the point - it’s still a list Brighton are miles away from).

I think that we are an extremely attractive club for prospective managers. Potter’s time earned him a move to a ‘big’ club and enhanced his reputation no end. RDZ has been linked to no end of top jobs and if he’d held things together a bit better during our injury troubles he’d probably get...

Wow. Almost 7am and only 1 reply. Is everyone having a lie in or has everyone forgotten that there’s a game today. It would be nice to end RDZ’s time with a win and ensure we remain above Palace.

Option added.

RDZ. Think absolute terms not relative to budget or anything like that.

As per the title. Who will be more successful over the next 5 years? RDZ or BHA? I’’ trying to think of the last time a manager left us and went on to the more successful than we’ve been. Edit: My answer is the club.

Do any of them actually want him? I guess we’ll find out pretty soon. Do we need to move quickly to secure our preferred replacement? So could waiting have meant some nice compensation but missing out on our preferred man?

Best response I’ve read yet (which I suppose really means the response I agree with the most).

Squeezed every penny out of them?

And ‘rightly so’ as all the commentators love to say these days.

What’s the point in VAR if it’s not going to overturn that penalty?

How much is the reported release clause? Even with a release clause it’s still a much better deal than loaning Ansu Fati. So yes, I think they won.

I doubt they’ll rest players with 4th place in their reach.

No. Arteta said they compete, but Reya plays every league and champions league game (except against Brentford when he’s not allowed to). Others on this thread have given examples where the first choice keeper has changed during the season.

One. Us.
