[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[Springal]

Sacked by Winstanley snake , but not surprising

Nah balls to him.
Was asked to stay here, followed the money and will be out of work soon enough. Wonder if GPott gave his blessing to Bruno taking over

 

[The Fits]

There was a lot of talk about the influence Bruno was having at the club, taking loads of responsibility in training etc and all that coincided with both selection consistency, improved results and a more attacking attitude. I do wonder if this Is a further indication that he was largely responsible for that. Senior players would sniff that out and that would massively undermine the management. Is it a case of the board, senior players, non ex-Albion staff realising this as Chelsea? Probably not. But seems odd they've kept him on.

Why not Billy or the other one ?

Bruno is Spanish and Spain won the World Cup a few times

 

[Munkfish]

Oddly our first game that was due to be played post potter, will be the first game we play, post Potter leaving Chelsea!

Makes you wonder how much he was carried here

Hilarity prevails.

Inevitable from day one, hubris clouded his judgment… zero loyalty to Swansea, zero to us and it’s come back to bite.

It just goes to show, a neatly trimmed beard, a gilet and a roll neck are clearly not enough to command the respect of footballers who’ve won major trophies… especially when your CV is heavily reliant on winning a few things in the Swedish over 60s walkball alliance. That and the unavoidable truth, that your playing days culminated in some steady performances for York City…

He was (and probably) remains a great fit at an underdog club… where the players are not considered ‘elite’, and thus are more open to working with a coach who has won nothing… and one whose reputation is based on pulling off some blinding results with a ‘small’ club.

I’ve come to the conclusion he believed his own hype and (without being harsh) has a massively inflated ego and is perhaps (as he failed to see the obvious) a bit lacking in intelligence.

However his HUGE pay off will, I’m sure, soften the blow. Hopefully he’ll land at Palace, that i’d dearly love… even more reason to BOO him loudly.

What a pillock.

genuine lots of loud laughter at that.

I am quite embarrassed to say that I feel a very large amount of

Schadenfreude​

 

[Lawros Lip]

‘Chelsea say Potter "has agreed to collaborate with the club to facilitate a smooth transition" and that Bruno Saltor will take charge of the team as interim head coach.’

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Seems that Billy and Bjorn are remaining at Chelsea, presumably biding their time until the new permanent coach decides that they can go, whereupon they will link back up with GP.

Edit: I believe that Billy has gone too.

 

[Doc Lynam]

I’m surprised that Bruno’s taking over given his worries for his job when Graham left us!

The second snake Winstanley was part of the process, no honour amongst thieves.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

It's easy to say but get beat 4-1 at The Amex should have told Potter what problems he had at Chelsea.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Disappointed to hear about Swansea as i found his (football) opinions fascinating even if some of them were mental - not seen what he's alleged to have said so won't judge him or the moderation of it.

But what a weekend for it to all end.

I agree with this.

Sadly, it was his Achilles heel that led to his downfall. A strong belief in the most ridiculous conspiracy theories that require antisemitism as a base for that belief. I thought I’d really miss Potter, but I didn’t. I suspect the same will be true with Swanny.

 

[oldboyroy]

Oh dear Graham, grass not greener on other side albeit bank balance much healthier! Not sorry for him whatsoever.

 

[Questions]

Won’t be wishing any luck to anyone or anything connected to Chelsea FC. They shafted us and they are shafting football with their ridiculous spending…

They all do it… We will .. after we qualify for the CL

 

[Rookie]

Potter getting the boot and it was Winstanley doing the final shoeing is just wonderful irony

 

[DJ NOBO]

From Swedish 4th tier nobody to financially secure for life in a decade. Not bad going.

Message from Todd: Along with our incredible fans, we will all be getting behind Bruno and the team as we focus on the rest of the season.

Surely Potter won't like the disloyalty from Bruno and won't take him to his next club (presumably Leicester). Sad to see such a classy bloke fired, he'd never undermine another club by trying to steal any of their staff mid season, oh wait...
