Yes, I too remember all those wonderful seasons In the top ten with those two in charge, and no measly 9th. Place for those gentlemen either, eh? The cult of denying and denigrating Potter's achievements really does wander up some strange alleyways in a bid to claim credibility!If we’re going full retro, why not Alan Mullery or Chris Hughton - both available and far more successful for us than Potter.
Crazy times!!
You don't like Potter; we get it. He did a good job while he was here; some people need to get that too. Agree he's unlikely to com back, but if he does, the worst thing ever for the Albion? - think Sami Hyyppia, Colin Hawkins, Kemi Agustien, George Curtis, Bill Archer and several others and give your head a wobble!

Anyone who thinks that Potter would have us playing any better with all these injuries has a very selective memory. I just don't get why people are writing Roberto off. Seems stupid to not understand that you get better results when you have your best players. Have they forgotten the football last season or at the start of this season when we had players fit. He said this would happen and seems to have been right.
What about the run he had us on when he left ?

Absolutely yes, because if we finish lower than 9th that will be in a season that included a European campaign. I’m firmly in the camp of not wanting Potter back after the manner he left us.if we finished lower than 9th, have we outgrown him ?

Not for me but I have to admit that if he did come back, on a free, it would be ever so funny. It would make Chelsea look even more stupid, if that’s possible.

Nut shell.
Potter back? I’d rather have a manager who isn’t whinging about us fans every other game, thanks.
Yawn.
It’s bizarre how some only identify Potter as our next manager. His only work since was a crash n burn at the Chavs.
Thankfully StarLizard/TB/PB are a tad more sophisticated.

I think we play shit nearly every week. This is our league goal median this season counting from the wake up against Birmingham. 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5. In 15 out of 21 games I see us score nothing or once. Was it more funny in cups yes for a bit then we threw all the cups first chance possible. Maybe Im not right kind of connosseur but not having much fun at all most times watching us though love the stomps as much as anyone. Should Potter be the solution. No but we can do lot better than we are. Were not playing exciting football. Sorry for rant

For you or TB?
One thing TB said that’s always stuck with me, “I’m good at taking the emotion out of a decision.”

Hmmmmmmmmm......
Paul Barber is a "football man.
Paul Barber is also a manager.
Paul Barber has clearly, always been ambitious.
Paul Barber has now proven he is probably the best CEO of a football Club in the country.
Paul Barber has almost certainly been offered employment at "bigger" clubs.
Paul Barber has remained loyal to this club and Tony Bloom.
Paul Barber, with the backing of Tony Bloom is slowly, but surely achieving all his aims here.
Paul Barber ( I think ? ) , joined this club on a starting salary of £100k a year.
Paul Barber is now the highest paid CEO in the Premier League. with a salary in excess of £2,000,000.00
Good managers do not have to jump ship to bigger clubs to achieve there aims or higher salaries.
Tony looks after those, who look after our club.
I'd still take a 79-year-old (or however old he is now) Glenn Murray as an option off the bench right now when we need a late goal.
It feels like he'd be more likely to find a goal than Evan Ferguson right now.

oh, i like your style, your tempting fate aren't you.....
I haven't really connected with a manager or player since I was a kid. I've gotten so used to them leaving us, that I see most of them as passing through. I wasn't devestated when either left, not so wrapped in the good they provided us that I ignored the bad, but not so fixated on the bad I ignored the good.
We're all football fans and all of us, to one degree or another, are fickle. Had we got the 'first year at Palace' Murray (6 league goals that season) would we have embraced him on his return as we did? He scored 23 goals that took us to the Premier league, of course we'll forgive him for that palace sojourn. Wasn't his fault, it was that nasty Poyet anyway. Or the club's then finance stucture if you're a Poyet fan.
I have my cynicism about whether we had turned the corner under Potter - that early season run he was on was something we've done in previous seasons under him before going on winless runs through Oct/Nov/Dec. But if he had turned the corner and we got that Potter back and were in the fight for the top 6, fans would welcome him back (or at least some of his more ardent detractors would stay quiet), "it was understandable he wanted to test himself at a big six club, and get some financial security for his family, but they never supported and appreciated him the way we do."

Which is exactly why he's not leaving. RDZ isn't in the top ten best paid coaches and coaches CVs look better with trophies on than well run clubs.
TB values collective success led by C level execs, whereas a lot of other football clubs start with the on pitch men's first team. It's what sets us apart, but what you've typed doesn't make RDZ disloyal.

Never try and predict what TB would it wouldn’t do.

If TBMBE sits in the directors box tonight (Brentford) and has a social drink with his arch enemy, Matthew Benham, then he will welcome back with open arms both the manager and players who all walked out on him.
As the former isn't going to happen then neither is the latter.
