Brighton chief doubles down on manager stance after Graham Potter quit to join Chelsea

Brighton and Hove Albion chief executive Paul Barber has admitted that the club will stick to the same approach with their next manager after Graham Potter joined Chelsea last week.

The Seagulls allowed Potter the chance to speak to the Blues - a policy that has stayed the same at the South Coast club throughout Tony Bloom's time at the club. Brighton would go onto receive £20million in compensation for Potter, who penned a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

It brings an end to Potter's three-year stay at the AMEX Stadium, with the 47-year-old guiding the Seagulls to their highest-ever Premier League finish last season. Despite losing one of the most exciting English coaches in the game, Barber believes they wouldn't change anything with their contract policy if they could turn back time.
