[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[METALMICKY]

I wouldn't be surprised if GP is suffering from a type of PTSD. Yes, we can all talk about the money he's still earning and how he's set up for life etc etc but I suspect his experience since leaving Brighton has been pretty tough mentally.

Does he go out in public anymore? Does he read the social media vitriol that still exists? Has the confidence that he once had now evaporated? Does the phone still ring and do his old football contacts still text him?

Don't get me wrong, I booed the guy as loudly as anyone when he came back to the Amex with Chelsea and I'm not saying that football management is for the faint-hearted. But having gone from being a hero at Brighton, feted as potentially one of Europe's top coaches, to failing spectacularly and facing abuse and ridicule from all sides must be a very tough thing to experience, especially in such a short space of time.

You're not far wrong but he took the money and inherent risks. And I'd be even less sympathetic had our season imploded when he and the his little gang jumped ship. As it happens we got RDZ and the rest is glorious history. Tough titty for the' teeth sucking grey man'. Or more appropriately " it is what it is "

RDZ to city I'm guessing

You guess right.

My daughter saw him out in the Midlands with his two kids eating ice cream. Apparently he was dressed to try and avoid identification.

Care to elucidate?

He's renown for going to restaurants naked, it's the PTSD wot dunnit. To spare his children further embarrasment he put some clothes on.

Potter off to Glasgow Rangers?

Yes I read this too. Can't imagine he'd last 5 minutes there tbh.

Read somewhere this week - he is holding out for a Champions League team job

Thing is don't think we will have him back when RDZ goes off to Barcelona or wherever

 

[Wozza]

Everton?

Exactly what are Potter’s strengths?

Took a park team in Sweden to their first division because a local millionaire pumped all his cash into them. Most of us on here could have done that
Got rave reviews at Swansea (not sure what for) - taking a relegated team and making them mid table in the league below.
And did ok with us - ok that’s all - with the Squad at his disposal.
Learnt a lot apparently though. Not enough to realise he isn’t all that.
Will fail next wherever he goes

Just my opinion like

Champions League team, crikey! He may be waiting a while.

Agree with that bit anyway.......................

Ajax dumping their manager soon. Would be a good fit. However their squad is pretty gash these days.

I'm 101% POSITIVE we won't want him back if/when RDZ moves on.

 

[B-right-on]

would like him to suceed and them to fail miserably

Absolutely. Proven that he has zero loyalty and therefore TB and PBOBE will have zero trust in him.

Plus the fact that Potters style of football is as far from RDZs as Sean Dyche is from Potters.

Another ex Albion player saying Potter lied to him and then blanked him when questioned.

Not surprised at all, I’d heard his man management skills were not all they were cracked up to be.

What's this?

 

[El Presidente]

Good guy, good coach.

A lot of revisionism about what he did at the Albion.

There is no loyalty from fans towards managers, players or owners, so no idea why they expect it back.

don't tell me, because they're dutch

 

[Icy Gull]

Remains a manager who brought my Albion Mojo back again after I pretty well lost any desire to go to games

Money aside he made a massive mistake jumping ship imo and his reputation has taken a hammering because of it. Hell even some Albion fans are now suggesting he was a bit shit
