Brighton boss Graham Potter is confident of the support of chairman Tony Bloom.

Albion, who won only one top-flight home game throughout 2020, sit two points above the relegation zone ahead of Saturday's visit of Wolves.

Potter admits the ambition of Seagulls fan Bloom was a key factor in attracting him to the Amex Stadium in May 2019 and insists he has complete confidence in his chairman's judgement.

"There's nothing to give me any indication that I don't have the full support of the chairman," said Potter. "The chairman isn't a normal guy - he's not like you or me, or the vast majority of people in football.

"I think he's a unique person and that's one of the reasons why I came to this club. He's made a huge success of his life, a huge success of this club, and he's done it with a clarity of thought and a thinking that is incredibly impressive.

"My trust is in him and, at the end of the day, whatever he thinks is right for Brighton and Hove Albion is absolutely fine for me."
