[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[trueblue]

If the rumours are true, then it is costing £60m to buy Potter out of his contract...

Very unlikely. Pretty standard in manager's long contracts to have a clause covering this. So he'll probably get a year's money or something - and even then might be dependent on whether he takes another job.

I have to confess that I'm surprised by this decision. I honestly thought that their new owner, based on his record with his sports teams in America, was genuinely different to what had gone before at that club.

Proven wrong, and fair enough. I wish Potter well, but hope that horrible excuse for a football club continue to pay for what they did to us ( even though it's all turned out rather nicely our end ).

Obviously I looked at your whole post, and the one you quoted. Cheshire Cat doesn't understand the vitriol and (while you say we have the right to express our opinions) you say you do sort of agree with him. I'm not sure how you agree with him in any way.

The way he left, took our guys, and then went on the media and said 'I've got nothing to apologise for' as if we'd asked for an apology, when we hadn't - was crap, and we feel like taking the piss. I know you're not suggesting we can't, but in what way do you agree with C Cat?

would give you a double thumbs up if it were possible!

I'm fully aware of the history, and I also know about football rivalry thank you.

I also know about a herd bullying mentality, which is what this thread has descended into.

Why would Potter read a fans forum of a club he was with for awhile then walked out on? He’s got a family and had an all consuming job.

It cannot possibly be bullying.

Just age-old football schadenfreude.

Oh it's possible. Let's take this to PM

I hope CFC are relegatrd this sesson (unlikely) or next whoever is in charge.

Why ?

His win ratio isn't so great.

Brighton's last 3 Managers have all had varying success.

Potter's only real success in England has been Brighton. Some Clubs might just think. Maybe it was Brighton who have a successful formula as opposed to Potter.

That said. His style of football is pleasing on the eye. Even if his win ratio isn't so great.

.... Because he has the bloom stamp of approval and Bloom is a genius.

I only agree with him in that I think very few Managers would have turned down the opportunity.

We are sort of splitting hairs really so best we both don't think so deeply on it. I don't care enough on the subject matter.

 

[Seagull58]

Given how much Chelsea hate Leicester, and Leicester too hate Chelsea (and Chelsea)....

You can see where I'm heading here...

Why not hold a séance, get Alan Birchenall to rise up (or come across), and he can take the helm at both these basket cases of clubs.

Jobs a good un.

Birch is in the rudest of health despite having to be revived from a cardiac arrest a few years ago. One of my friends meets up with him once or twice a week

OK

 

[Triggaaar]

Whooosh

Yeah I've got no idea what that meant. Care to explain?

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

From Hero to Villain to Tw@t

Fixed for you

 

[Triggaaar]

But none of us really disagree with that. We understood the opportunity was too big to turn down. Him taking the opportunity was not what bothered us. But Cheshire Cat says he doesn't understand the vitriol from us.

 

[Robinjakarta]

I personally haven't, but he has been banned permanently.

At last!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Neither here nor there on this.

Managers, players come and go but fans are forever. He had little choice in leaving when Chelsea knocked on the door to refuse would probably have done his career prospects greater damage.

Totally disagree. They have a history of being arrogant and kneejerkish. He could easily have and should (for him not the Albion) have stayed.
Just proves that the so called top six sh!tfact0ry is dead and well! May they all rot, rot and more rot.
I hope and firmly believe that GP will learn from this. Reckon Leicester will come calling and , as long as he gets a structure in place, he may have a chance of achieving a level of success? If he has no structure or assurances then I fear his journey will have an equally bad, next phase outcome!

Come on, you know us better than that. We didn't begrudge him going to a bigger club, it was simply the manner he did it. Examples of when we're happy for someone to move on to bigger and better:
Bissouma
White
Burn

Potter was rude to fans when he mentioned the history lesson, and completely changed his tune when he went to Chelsea. He also took people like Bruno and Ben Roberts, which wasn't necessary.

Spot on.

 

[dadams2k11]

Potter to Leicester
Rodgers to Spuds
Nagelsman to Chelsea
Amorine to Liverpool if they sack klopp.

All to be completed in next 2 weeks.

Nagelsman is on gardening leave and would command a big fee from Bayern to release him, as they paid a big fee to RB Leipzig to take him.

Heard that on TS about 15 mins ago. They were saying they could swap Nagelsman for some Chelsea players, which would be the first in history

 

[peterward]

Swansman banned, wow, and what poetic timing......... Boehly and Bozza both run out of patience and wield the axe

 

[Robinjakarta]

I'm delighted but slightly disappointed in equal measure. Would have been confident in getting one over on them in a couple of weeks and taking the piss, not now.

There's always what we did to them and him at the Amex

 

[Publius Ovidius]

So Bruno to be interim manager/coach!

looks like there is a head of steam giving it to Emma Hayes to the end of the season…..she certainly appears to be the best English manager out there.
