Who's here after he became the Chelsea manager?

[@TheDjurekovsin]

Proper manager. Really respect him and his approach towards football.

[@FunLowBlock]

Always had massive respect for the way Graham has his Brighton team playing. As a “smaller” club, it’s become an unwritten requirement to be “hard to beat” rather than “hard to stop”, which is admittedly based on the stability that it can provide a club. But I love that Graham (also Marcelo with Leeds) are breaking the mould. Because it makes for better viewing, and it raises the ceiling of a team’s capabilities (the best teams are proactive rather than reactive). It is risky, but the reward is great - people like Graham are advancing the game. 👏🏽

[@aaronhurst4379]

Agreed, thankfully we're seeing more teams get promoted and having a go now

[@hengveng559]

Welcome to Chelsea

[@htrahddis]

I hope he soon finds his feet at Chelsea. Things haven't been going good as he might have envisaged but that doesn't deny the fact that he's a brilliant coach and a true visionary. Really hopeful for him.

[@arisktensai]

Welcome to Chelsea. Wish you all the best Mr Graham Potter.

[@golazo_editz7812]

He has done well at Brighton they play exciting football just that they cannot find the cutting edge

[@richiesimons4403]

I'm a West Brom fan and I remember watching Graham play for us in the late 90's. So pleased for him as an ex-Baggie that he has done so well and has also developed and took the game forward, as a whole. Good luck at Chelsea Graham.

[@aaronelliott8587]

Top man I hope u have a great time

[@rishi41361]

Bloody impressed with the way how he plays football with brighton..making bang average players..look decent..Good footballing team

[@thomaswatson5818]

Such a good coach and a nice bloke!

[@wiilshidan6404]

Welcome to Chelsea 🔵

[@sethadusei1968]

I'm trying to put my disappointment of losing Thomas Tuchel aside & go on an adventure with a coach I also have high respect for the work he has done with Brighton. Make me a believer GP. Welcome to Chelsea

[@jayhens]

Underrated imo

[@TobyLerone-yn3rr]

The irony of Potter saying you can't predict football whilst his chairman was Tony Bloom wasn't lost on me 😆

[@badwolfe4020]

welcome to chelsea

[@emmanuelsarfogyamfi9625]

Proper coach

[@realfahan]

We have a special manager in his own way. Let's back him.

[@aman8549]

How many are seeing this video in their recommendations after he got the job in Chelsea 😄💙

[@ryanfinnerty6239]

Great content🤝

[@TheCoachesVoice]

Thank you 🙌

[@raj8294]

Future England manager

[@StrawHatPele]

Class Manager, hope he gets a big job one day or Brighton give him some quality players. Preferably a Flair player

[@realfahan]

He did it

[@j.a.9855]

Can you do something with Pep?

[@CreepingBarrage]

Really hope Chelsea give him the time that he will likely need.

[@adamclark1972uk]

Brighton are currently 9th in the Premier League, with the 15th most costly squad

[@steve13191]

i want him at united. if you can make duffy, webster, burn, march, alzate play beautiful football you’re a proper manager. sign him up united

[@DeanRyan89]

From Leeds Met to Chelsea madness

[@alihassan.205]

1 year later , he gets the Chelsea job .... Well done lads

[@Liam-yr4uf]

There's something there, definitely. Many people will refer back to Brighton's poor finish in the table, and the fact that they moved sideways in the table. Personally, I rate him. But I would like to see what he can do at a bigger club, then we'll know for sure what he's made of. He's got his players playing good football, and he has a positive football philosophy.

[@yussefhazem5637]

Welcome to spurs?

[@user-pu5bj8le1n]

What a manager needs to get a better team
