[Albion] Squad strength vs the rest of the league

Sounds about right. We are expected to finish around 15th to 17th. That's where our squad would be in a table of strongest to weakest on paper.

At the moment, Potter is doing a satisfactory job. We are where we are expected to be. Higher than 15th come the end of the season would be a success, lower than 17th would be a failure.

But also there is a 5 year plan in place. If Potter finishes between 15th and 17th every season, he will get the boot when the time is right, just like Chris did.

Is he getting the best out of his players? Probably not. But he's not getting the worst out of them either. He is doing as is expected, given the resources at his disposal.

Food for thought - Chris Wilder got the best out of his players last season and then some. This year it is the complete opposite. So I think doing a satisfactory job at this point, with a long term plan in place, is preferable to having one great season then nosediving towards certain relegation.
