That Brighton squad is underrated. Some real quality players there tbf but Potter is definitely class. You just see the respect that gets put on his name by Pep and Klopp and you know he is doing something special. Howe had a poor season with a terrible squad but he has shown enough at other times to suggest he'd be decent. Potter aint leaving Brighton right now anyway.

Me no comprende I'm afraid! You'll have to speak plain English!

Eh? Perhaps it is because I'm new round here!

I do feel many of us are jumping the gun a bit on the manager malarkey. Eddie Howe would be a good appointment in the short-term in my opinion. I reckon he can keep us up, and give him another season to develop the squad. He is a good manager and young. Longer-term, yes we need someone with more world football appeal but that can happen later. Guess that's where my view differs from others, we have the resources and owners who are here for the long term. Let's build slowly and surely. Nothing will stop us getting to our goals in the long term. The next 20 years are going to be very different to the last and that is something to be delighted about.

Do you not think, that is a pretty good attendance for the size of the town?

Villareal are probably my favourite Spanish club. Great kit, great place, great people. Proper footballing town, consistently punch above their weight.

It is pretty darn good for a town of 50,000 people!

Balague is regularly one of the most credible and informed journalists out there. He called Messi leaving first, he gave all the insight into the Ronaldo shenanigans in the summer, etc. If he says Emery isnt coming then it is most definitely true. I'm not worried about Emery not coming, I think we could do with an English manager and someone who knows their way round the bottom of the table.
