I don’t think anyone is ‘bullying‘ anyone but your suggestion that Potter just left to get a better paid job, is a gross simplification and overly benign view of what happened so don’t be too surprised if people react negatively - it ignores the fact Potter left smack as a new season was well...

Amazed it’s taken as long as 7mnths for Boehly to realise that he paid £20 million + just to enable Brighton to dump a manager on to them that Tony Bloom already had an upgrade for - and who is now going to potentially cost Chelsea £50 million + to get rid of themselves - serves Chelsea right...

We keep going over and over the same old ground on these Potter/Chelsea threads - 1. Chelsea having run of bad performance 2. BHA NSCers point finger at Potter 3. Swansman defends Potter 4. BHA fans say Potter was good for Brighton but RDZ now better 5. Swansman digs up stats to prove otherwise...

:facepalm: EDIT - Not sure where the debate is re Potter v RDZ - anyone can see our game has progressed from the foundations GP laid - there’s no ‘cult of personality’ involved in recognising we have a talented manager who’s perfect for where we are right now as a club and who is building the...

Also absolutely Agree - it is disgraceful- no one should receive death threats However, people in the public eye frequently get death threats often directed repeatedly at the same person and usually they are by sad sick wackos on social media mouthing it up and posting anonymous abuse just...

They are but there is a common principle in commercial contract law that the claimant has a duty to mitigate loss - requiring the sacked manager to find work to mitigate the compensation payable - when he goes to the new club he must then give credit to the former club for the salary and...

(I agree with this and ditto the egg on face thing but I think Boehly will want him to at least see out the season. ) I do think Chelsea was probably the wrong career move for Potter now - initially I didn’t- I had the impression that Potter’s strengths of developing youth players and his...

Nor me particularly- and edited the emoji to reflect that better - My original ‘😂’ was really aimed at the post by Zebedee to which I was replying, tongue in cheek for his benefit rather than having a personal pop at Potter per se. Ever since GP left, I have not only refrained from...

I’m sure you will appreciate a few snapshots 🤷‍♂️ Potter ‘living the easy life’ at Brighton Potter after 4 months at Chelsea

I asked ChatGPT to pen an open letter to Graham Potter in the voice of Brighton fans (with a question): ‘What’s the difference between Chelsea and a teabag?’ The answer seems pretty heartfelt: ‘A teabag stays in the Cup’ :lolol:

A good attempt to dial down some of the rhetoric https://www.football365.com/news/graham-potter-sacked-chelsea-media-salivate-idea-mediawatch

Think that’s probably largely true of fans’ relationship with their team’s head coach regardless of which club or manager we’re talking about - when the team is on a winning streak or at least on an upward trajectory, they’ve got the best manager since sliced bread and fans love him but if form...

Yes yes! - exactly the point I made earlier and that most of us have been saying for years isn’t it ?- why most of us really loathe what the silly-sheik money and the mega-multi-billionaires are doing to football blah blah etc etc and why (as I’ve also said previously) top clubs might as well...

Yep, that’s the business plan I’m talking about - throw mega bucks against a wall and hope something sticks enough to climb back into contention for the Champions ASAP - although why they needed PW for that can’t imagine- clear to me GP has drunk the cool aid at Chelsea though.

Yes, I agree see post 56 and 81 😉 Good anology!

So for the immediate future, Chelsea at Boehly’s behest, will be spending silly money on Champions League proven players (young or otherwise) - that seems very different to me compared to Brighton’s sustainable steady development strategy and the success of TB/PB with bringing in raw talent -...

Lol - miscommunication- I think we all have an inkling Tony Bloom has his hands on the data 😂

I take your point (which is why it still fcuks me off we lost PW to them) - but using the first transfer window since GP’s tenure by trying to sign one of Ukraine’s very well known top players for north of £60 million doesn’t really fit into that synopisis does it? Maybe Potter has drunk the...

Yes exactly my original points in my first post on this thread before anyone else had mentioned Starlizard or data. See post 54. The way I see it, it’s the algorithms Tony’s system uses and the creative interpretation of that data that makes him such a successful business owner for us. Even...

Right you are -it was that subsequent posts seemed to repeat what I had originally stated as if it was a correction of what I had said so just wanted to clarify that what I said initially was correct and that I hadn’t missed any ‘insider info! lol 👍
