[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[ac gull]

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?

 

[Nobby]

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

This is what gets me.

There was almost unanimous disappointment / anger / worry that we might lose Potter when Chelsea came in for him, presumably based on what he had done for the club up until that point in time.

RDZ being another level doesn't take away what Potter did for us. Would RDZ have touched the job with a barge pole if he'd been asked to take over a Hughton-coached squad bobbling around above the bottom 3?

 

[The Mole]

Anyone remember our previous victory at Old Trafford where we played some great football in the first half - and were more dominant than we were last weekend? Potter got the players to be comfortable on the ball and be flexible in the systems. This enabled RDZ to take the squad to the next level.

i don't know why anyone would bother arguing with any of this, it seems to me a lot of footie fans don't know a lot about footie

*splutter*

Remember that time when a sequence of three wins at the Amex spanned THREE CALENDAR YEARS?

You omitted to mention that we didn’t spend more than a few hours in the relegation zone during that period either, and how often were we blown away by teams during that run?

Potter did a very good job for us. Roberto is doing an excellent job with us. Potter is a good manager. Roberto is becoming an elite manager!
