POTTER HAS BROUGHT MAGIC BACK TO SWANS

Championship: 3pm GRAHAM POTTER is already returning “Swansalona” football to the Liberty Stadium.

But today the former Ostersund boss could have been stood in the away dugout in charge of Ipswich instead of getting the

Welsh club back on track.

Potter says he never received contact from the Tractor Boys this summer, but it’s understood he was on a four-man shortlist to succeed Mick Mccarthy at Portman Road.

Current Ipswich boss Paul Hurst, Derby’s Frank Lampard and Jack Ross – now of Sunderland – were the others in the frame.

Potter (above) has his new team seventh in the Championship, despite a summer of financial turmoil, and has also got Swansea back to playing their traditional passing style.

friends texted me and said, ‘What’s this?’ – especially the guys in England. It was a bit of fun.”

Kachunga wasn’t bothered by the leg-pulling, just like he doesn’t care about the pundits queuing up to write Huddersfield off.

The forward, who began his career with Barcelona keeper Marc-andre ter Stegen at Borussia Moenchengladbach, says they were also dismissed before winning promotion in 2016 and staying up last season.

“When we were in the Championship, nobody believed we would go up to the Premier League,” said Kachunga, who has a strong Christian faith. “Last season was the maybe w points.

“We ha things to that. We
