We all knew this would happen after the shit show of a transfer window. Even if we go down and come up again what’s the point if we dick about with budget players?

Do you actually think that was going in? It wasn’t too far from the keeper and you’d hope they’d save it. In the corner, defo a goal, but not convinced that it was defo going in.
It was going in
To be fair , we have spent a few quid. Just on the wrong players.

Instead of one player of real quality we’ve purchased squad players.
Yep, the overall standard of the squad is better than a few years ago but our starting eleven is not much , if at all , better.
But that’s not to say if wed spent 40 mill on a player it would have made the difference .
Because Our recruitment team isn’t very good at recruiting.

An outsiders view admittedly but you’d be mad to get rid of Potter, you play some really entertaining football.
Having said that, there’s still a naivety to your play, hence us stealing 4 points from you this season.
If I was TB I’d definitely stick with Potter, given the chance I’d have him as a manager after Hodgson retires, I think he’s got the ability to be a brilliant manager.

Because we’ll play a possession based style in the Championship, easy on the eye, and bring through some youngsters.
For that alone, we should be grateful.

I just don’t understand why Potter gets so much praise for his losing style. Losing isn’t good. Repeatedly losing is really bad. If Potter is a good manager at this level, he’d be able to adapt his style to fit the players at his disposal. But he can’t. He has no plan b. I’m also far from convinced he could bring us back up. So many other variables he cannot control come into play if we get relegated. I think a lot of fans are kidding themselves to think that way. Potter has no record of getting sides promoted or keeping them from being relegated. Simply don’t understand why he gets cut so much slack. His record is woeful. His brand of football if anything is he knows how to pick a losing team.
10 years as a manager, three promotions, zero relegations
And if he doesn’t?
Surprised this thread hasn't been put into 'other shite'.
It is as silly as a thread about 'why can't labour go proper left wing, eveyone would love it, and the country would be better for it'.
There are so many false assumptions in the idea of binning Potter that only a slave of Corbyn (or Boris) could think it a top plan. I am not even going to start explaining it.....<sigh>
That's enough NSC for tonight for me. I fear it has been infected with Corona virus. Or, at very least R White's lemonade.

Let.s face it T/B got a kicking in the MSM over sacking C/H,yet others agreed with a quick 'kill'. So some would say 'You need to stay up,go for Big Sam' however why not go different and yes we make not get them but Gerrard even Poch at least it shows ambition !
Things will never be that desperate that we have to resort to getting in one of the Serial English Loser Managers Club stalwarts for yet another unearned payday. Alan Pardew's Blue'n'White Army ayone? That'll be the day I chuck in my ST and go and watch Lewes instead

Zero chance of TB sacking Potter, so no point speculating
Giving him a 6 year deal is effectively telling him he's safe even if he takes us down
