Breaking news - Potter’s gone on 18:24 - May 18 by giantstoneater

You know the usual stuff I'm in it for the long haul that kind of stuff general manager guff! Do I blame him perhaps no and I've no doubt the Board have lied constantly to him but just what is the point of a contract! I just can't help feeling disappointed in Potter I thought he would stick it out what do I know.


We all feel gutted, but contracts literally mean nothing when clubs come calling for players or managers.
I don't think he lied - he played the loyalty card as they all do, but had no guarantees that any PL club would come calling.
I feel he has to get as far away from our crazy club as possible.
Swans are like a mad uncle - you love him but know he's barking.
At the moment that's what it's like being a Swans supporter.
There's a lot more pain to come I fear.

Personally I just think he fell on his feet, pretty good comradery between the players, and it's made him look better than he is, as a manager.. Time will tell, but I think the closeness of our squad this year has been more more down to Oli.

He blows our best chance of going back up and then leaves at the first opportunity.

When was the last time one of our managers left on a high? Probably Brendan.

Parfitt is pretty well known as a non-journalist. And he's a rugby wallah. Who would tell him that anyway? No one but Potter or the Yanks would know and the yanks wouldn't be saying it. So Potter self justifying at best.

Doesn't mean it's definitely not true, but what does 'having a go' mean? Spending money we dont have like Bolton. No thanks. I don't trust the yanks an inch but I don't think they'd let us go bust and that's the real danger, not shooting speculatively at the premiership circus that's already pretty much f^cked us up.

Oli and the other lads on Twitter egging each other on to sign new contracts, yeah.

There's a great spirit and togetherness and desire to see each other succeed among our u23s veterans. Such a nice change from the late PL era.

100% spot on.

We are still reeling from the PL. We still have financial commitments we may very well be unable to get out of.

The point of a contract is we get £3m when he jumps ship, instead of nothing.

Meanwhile over in an Alternate Universe. On Saturday March 16th they had VAR at that version of the Liberty Stadium, which resulted in Swansea City progressing further in the FA Cup. As a result, in that universe today a certain Mr Potter is at Wembley leading his Swansea City team out in the FA Cup Final! HOORAGHH! As opposed to the Mr. Potter currently house hunting in Brighton in our reality! The smallest of mistakes can result in the biggest of changes...

Yeah but, but, Potter would never ever leave for more money to a club in the Premier League, it must be someone at the club's fault...

Indeed. If he has gone I don't blame him. I don't trust the yanks and if true this will show what a shower of sh!t is running this club.

And there was me thinking he had a job to do.
He obviously doesn't trust the yanks and knows the asset stripping continues.

Unlikely. But we do have better players and more flexible players than Brighton.
So he could get a fúcking.

Reassurances were not given by all account, all over twitter. There are also stories that the yanks are looking to offload before purchasing.

Looks like it is going to be a tough summer with a tough season.

The worry level is notching up another few levels.....to think there are still naive posters on here defending the yanks.

Did anyone think we wouldn't have to sell before thinking about buying? That's life in the Championship, and especially for us with the Ayews still on the books earning as much as Bristol's whole first team between them.

What stupid clowns decided to but Andre Ayew and give him the wages........if that is the issue then blame the source.

The signing of Ayew was a joke, look back at the posts on here in the build up to us signing Ayew.

As I said....source.

You're wasting your time trying to reason with them, they live in a fantasy football manager dreamland. And you can absolutely guarantee that if we did go out and buy players, some of which didn't work out, which sent us spiralling towards going into administration, they would be the exact same posters screaming about that.
