Brighton's manager, Graham Potter, is the genius behind this all. Finding a way to play attractive football with a small club and a low budget while dominating statistically is a crazy sight to see. He is rightfully linked to bigger jobs like Tottenham or the English national team. A club like Tottenham's eyes should water at the thought of implementing a guy like Potter into a club with top players and a bigger budget. I could see Potter sticking around for one more season, but if not, Potter has had two assistants since his days at Ostersunds FK in Sweden. These two are Billy Reid and Bjorn Hamberg, and if Potter leaves, I would highly recommend Brighton hire in-house with one of these two to try and keep building on the project Potter has begun.
To me, Brighton are the Oakland Athletics of the footballing world that can have their own Moneyball story. A small club with a low budget that has to get creative to find ways to compete. Brighton has some fantastic players like Tariq Lamptey, Ben White, and Yves Bissouma. These players will not be Brighton players their entire careers, similar to Jason Giambi or Johnny Damon that the Athletics lost. Losing big players like this is just inevitable for these two clubs who simply cannot afford to sign them when payday comes around, but that does not mean that Brighton could not use analytical statistics to find solid replacements to fill the void.
