Great summing up and conclusion by the Arsgus.

Tickets for Albion's trip to Chelsea, as well as games at Tottenham and Bournemouth, go on sale next week.
I'm not understanding why it's now ok for supporters to be angry. Is this a development in his emotional intelligence? Is he beginning to develop some? Has he been learning? Sounds like it has been a great move.

Death threats against anyone simply doing their job is disgraceful
It becomes more understanding depending on the job, the impact of the job, how badly the job is done, and whether is was done badly nefariously. Boris Johnson and his fraudulent friends killed many and stole from the nation to line their bulging pockets It is understandable in those circumstances for some to descend to the level of death threats.

But due to your football team losing? Wow

I agree ... everyone bangs on about mental health on NSC ... but 'oh it's Potter and he deserves everything he'd gettin'g ... and 'what did he expect' ... seems to be the mantra on here from many!
Very true. But I am glad he's not succeeding and is suffering. A lesson to be learned for others. I also believe he'll be fine when he's sacked and has apologised to his family for putting them through this out of greed - both for money and putting personal ambition ahead of loved ones and wellbeing.

Rubbish. I challenge you to find a post that is happy that his mental health is suffering or that anyone is okay with his family being threatened. People here are happy that his football career seems to be imploding. It is very amusing and satisfying.

There's literally a comment on this thread saying 'what did he expect' ... as though it's acceptable to expect that for just taking a job in football! I'm glad you find it all amusing and that you are satisfied!

The comment below from @GT49er 'no excuses available' ... is where I am on this!

Death threats are unacceptable, end of. No excuses available. My disgust of Chelsea's toxic fans just keeps on growing.

Most if not all the death threats are probably from armchair fans from afar looking at some of the crap they post on shitter and YouTube.
Yep, and probably inflamed emotions after listening to Jamie O'Haras rant after the interview and defeat at home to Southampton.

He will probably be on the radio in the next few days, saying he thinks it's deplorable, and not realising he was fanning the flames calling the interview by Potter after the game a disgrace and he should walk. Yes his job is too sensationalise things, but he is part of the problem.

What are you talking about? You are being very disingenuous for some reason.

The quote in context is this:

'When he was here he started crying over a bit of booing because we hadn’t scored for ages and forgot what a win was! What did he expect when he took his £60m contract. that being said death threats and threats to his family are completely out of order and typical of the Chelsea...'

The 'what did he expect' comment was regarding all the media scrutiny and overreaction with the Chelsea fans. It immediately condemns the threats as it should. Stop trying to link enjoyment at Potter's football problems with being happy that he is mentally suffering or that his family are being threatened. It is not the same thing!

Completely agree, however, due to the manner of his departure, not wasting my time caring. he's kind of reaping what he sewed, what kind of ride did he expect ?

Reading the quote from him in the Indie, "Potter said he had been targeted by an anonymous account in the wake of the team’s recent poor form," - Sounds as though it could be just one person. So - should be relatively easy to track them down you'd hope.

I hope for Potter's sake his wife and family were fully supportive of his decision to take him and all of his staff to Chelsea.. If they weren't then the situation for him now will be just intolerable.

None of any of this surprises me, including the death threats.

Simon Jordon talks a bit of sense...


For ex Palace scum Simon Jordon talks a lot of sense, I was thinking exactly the point he made about being in the second division not long ago.

Loved the point from Martin O'Neill too that players hardly understand formations, if that's true at Chelsea then Potter is probably confusing them even further.

I think we all knew that subliminally anyway, I mean we all see every manager shouting or pointing to players to be in a certain position as they seem to have forgotten instructions given to them at the most 45minutes previously :ROFLMAO:
