Swansea City fans are expressing their bitter disappointment following the news Graham Potter is set to leave the club for Brighton.

Potter is holding talks with the Premier League club after Swansea were forced to accept a compensation payment of more than £2 million after he indicated he wanted to leave.

It comes after Potter turned down the offer of an improved contract that it's understood would have made him one of the highest paid managers in the Championship.

Swans chiefs had also moved to give him assurances over transfers going forward, but it wasn't enough.

Potter was immediately installed as Brighton's number one target following the sacking of Chris Hughton last week.

It's a bitter pill to swallow for many Swans fans who have seen the club engulfed by off-field problems over the past couple of years.

The club issued redundancy notices to all non-first-team staff earlier this year as they battle to fill a £30m financial black hole following relegation.
