Graham Potter has been linked with a move to Tottenham as their next manager, but it seems the Englishman isn’t ready to manage a top team yet.
Spurs have been on the lookout for a new permanent boss after they fired Jose Mourinho a few weeks back.
Potter has done very well for the Seagulls and has turned them into an effective team that plays an exciting brand of attacking football.
They are still not a top-half team yet, but they do impress most people who watch them by how they play and how Potter sets his side up for different games.
Spurs have been tipped to take a chance on him and return their team to the time of Mauricio Pochettino when they played beautiful attacking football.
However, after managing Ostersund in Sweden before his move to England, it seems Potter thrives on working as the underdog and he appears to suggest that there would be no room for growth in a team like Tottenham.
Speaking about the tough task of making Brighton a top side, he said via Mail Sport: ‘I’m a little bit of a romantic.
‘I understand 95 per cent of leagues are determined by finance. But there’s a 5 per cent that can affect that. And then it’s about how you get into that 5 per cent and what you need to do with that 5 per cent.’
He continued: ‘I’m not disrespecting those [bigger] clubs. They are fantastic football clubs. But I’m proud of Brighton & Hove Albion. I’m proud to work for this club. I’m proud to work with these players.
‘With this team we’ve got some room to improve, some room to develop. We are in a points and results business. When they’re not so good, you can’t really shout those things too often. I’m still happy with what we’ve done, but I know there’s more to do as well.’
