There has been no second approach from Brighton to have talks with Graham Potter at the moment.

It comes after social media reports that Brighton are ‘still’ waiting for permission to speak to the manager from Swansea.

I don't see why he would swap Sheffield United for Brighton at this time after a promotion.

Jesus Brighton be a bit realistic :lol: why would Chris Wilder leave his hometown club who he's just got promoted to go to Brighton who are actually a smaller club than Sheffield United. It kinda seems like Brighton sacked Chris Hughton with no concrete plan in place a bit like when WBA sacked Darren Moore, really feel they'll struggle next season and could even do a Huddersfield.
