Two scenarios, which would you rather?

A] Apply the footballing principles introduced under Potter, if it ended with us getting relegated this season?
This would be with a long term hope that we would come back up.

B] Sack Potter, go full Pulisball, recruit accordingly in January, with the guarantee of us staying up this season?
In this scenario, Potter’s replacement would stay into next season btw.



*Obvs These are extreme, theoretical scenarios and in real life the ideal would be Potter keeps us up playing nice football.

A, but that isn’t what we are currently doing. The team are not playing Potterball hence support for him wavering.

Option A all fecking day.

Should we go down it’s worth considering how the fans of the three relegated teams are enjoying their football in comparison to last season.

I don’t EVER want a repeat of the last six months under CH...at any level thanks

Good point.
I’ve rewritten the first scenario.

Please can we play attractive football and win some matches. Other teams manage it. Why can't we?

Not sure why it has to be either good football and be relegated or shit football and stay up?

Not that many of the smaller clubs though. Bournemouth probably the only exception until they, erm, went down.

A for me. The philosophy is sound and we are playing good football, creating a load of chances, we just need a striker who can do one of them goal things

I love Potter’s footballing ideas, I love how he thinks the game ought to be played.
In the premier league, we just haven’t got the right calibre of players to play it week in, week out.
So scenario C for me.....keep Potter and back him with funding

I don't want to us to be anything like Watford - whose managers must never even think about planning beyond a few months ahead. Plan B sounds a bit too close to that.

Of course, there is also the Everton way: get in a big name manager who can really turn things around.

From what I recall, it’s when one of the players puts the round ball thing in the net I could be wrong though...

I am with the majority on this thread - A

It's nice to see that there are others who feel the same way.

It goes without saying of course that playing good football AND staying up is what we really want!
