[Albion] Graham Potter on the High Performance podcast

[RandyWanger]

Two of the most boring people having a conversation but saying nothing.

 

[HyperTony]

I watched about an hour and it's sort of interesting but largely repetitively dull. I thought the key part was when dull sycophant 1 asked did he question TB the same way he questioned Bloom and Barber. He said he tried...now to me that's someone admitting, yeah they made a load of promises about progressing youth, building a Culture blah blah and were paying me a Ton of cash. I knew it was bs, Chelsea cannot operate that way culturally or i knew it was unrealistic but i'm Graham Potter and i can change them and i'm taking the cash.

For the record, i'm eternally grateful, without Potter there is no De Zerbi ( the girl you know is far too fit for you but for one glorious summer...) and no Hurzerler (the girl you might just marry...)

Finally got around to watching it, and fully appreciative of how people see things differently.

For me, I didn't have to read between the lines too deeply to realise he kept referring, directly or indirectly, to his Albion experience. Either his principles matched those of Tony Bloom and Paul Barber, or he took theirs on board.

When he left for Chelsea, I thought the conversation he must have had with their hierarchy, about having sufficient time to impose his ideals, must have been high on the priorities. Clearly not, and clearly admitted by Graham Potter.

Overall, I felt he was grateful of his time at the Albion. Also, he provided a good insight into the football world and how he related to us 'ordinary people'.
