Brighton and Hove Albion chief executive Paul Barber has been forced to explain why the club sacked popular boss Chris Hughton and replaced him with the comparably inexperienced Graham Potter.The Seagulls axed Hughton last week, despite keeping the club in the Premier League for another season.And they confirmed Potter as his replacement on Monday, with the 44-year-old leaving Swansea who finished tenth in the Championship this term to take over at the Amex.
The club are delighted to announce the appointment of Graham Potter as the new head coach of the football club.

Because his record at Swansea was not glittering – 21 wins, 19 defeats.Chris took over when you were in the relegation places, and not only did he get you up to the Premier League, he kept you up. So Im asking, why couldnt Chris move you forward?“I just think you just needed a couple of different centre-forwards to help you.I dont understand, can you please fill me in? I know youve all done a brilliant job, but it doesnt make sense to me.GETTY3
