[Albion] Potter: Thank you or **** you

[Braggfan]

I have to say thank you for giving us some of the best football I have seen watching Brighton.

It was going to happen at some time but it would have been great if we had got through this season and we would have seen his full potential.

I am surprised , I thought the guy was genuine and humble but what he proved is like all (99%) of us he's human and the lure of more money, CL football, a chance at the FA cup and top four proved too much.

So like Dan Ashworth he is now consigned to our history and hopefully soon forgotten when the new king arrives and outshines him.

I genuinely think this was the best time for this to happen, with the points accumulated so far and what we need to reach safety. It gives the next person a fighting chance.

As you say it was going to happen at some time. But I think for Potter this is best chance to manage a big club. No one else will give him time, but Chelsea have a new owner and want a long term plan. Even if that turns out to be rubbish, he's not going to get that offer anywhere else. So if he was ever going to leave us, this is probably the best offer he would get.

A big thank you.

We all knew this day would come, just a shame its this early into this season given the start we have made, but that's down to Chelsea.

I fully expect Potter to be given a warm reception whenever he returns to the Amex

It's a **** off from me, yes he's been brilliant for us but walking away just as we were getting where we want to be is a real kick in the bollocks, I had never enjoyed my football so much and now see it being ****ed over by Judas picking up his pieces of Chelski silver and no doubt will be cherry picking our best players.

I cannot believe that 28.09% 50 (people) said '**** you' and what a bunch of ungrateful gits they are...!!!

 

[Is it PotG?]

A big thank you.

Not too long to wait, we'll find out

On balance it's a Foff given the timing and the fact it's not just GP, it'll be Bjorn and Billy most likely then perhaps more players in January.

His stock would have remained high and could have certainly found himself a move to a top club in the Summer after finishing the season with us.

We gave him a very generous contract extension and showed huge faith and loyalty to him. He hasn't done the same, in my opinion of course.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

My child brain says “boooooooooo, I HATE you, **** off, I never want to see you again, and I hope you have a horrible future at Chelsea.” Which, of course, is childish and pathetic.

My grown up brain says “Hey, Graham, Babe, we had a ball didn’t we? I think we could have made it work, but I understand you have your reasons to want to leave, and I appreciate that, though it breaks my heart to say so. Farewell. Don’t forget us. Sniffle. Oh, but can we have full custody of Swanny?”

Heart says ****, head says thank.

I just think another season would have proved what the man was capable off but equally there is a risk there if we did not finish in top ten that he would blow his chance.

The poll results will change when he comes in for MacA and Caicedo in January.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

There is no fence.

Which you seem to be sat on, come on Bozza, prey tell ?

Myself, I am going through the feck you stage and thank you stage at the same time, it is very confusing to be honest

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Just feeling a big fat NOTHING here, apart from actually feeling a little bit sorry for the guy. He'll be absolutely ripped to shreds from each and every direction before Chelsea spit him out about 18 months from now, maybe much sooner. He'll need every last bit of that much-touted emotional intelligence to come through the experience relatively undamaged. I wish the bloke and his family and his entourage well

 

[Carlos BC]

I am going to vote on this tomorrow. Have learned over the years not to dive into decisions when still feeling emotional (still do it sometimes though!) . At the moment it is definitely towards the **** you side though, but I think I am just cross and may just need a nap.

 

[bluenitsuj]

**** you Potter

 

[Hamilton]

Blimey!

Even as someone who voted Potter Out during some dark times I am stunned that some people are saying **** you. For christ's sake people, look at where we are!

Sorry THPP, I don't. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.

It has to be thank you! The man is obviously very ambitious, he has allegedly been given the chance to transform the entire footballing philosophy at Chelsea which is something that we know he is very good at, and will obviously be earning many times more than we are able to pay him.

He has given us three years of his time and expertise and proppeled us into the top ten teams in the entire country. a sad day for all of us, but he certainly goes with all my thanks and best wishes for the future.

Now though we need to quickly draw a line under this upheaval and move on. The search for a new manager is underway.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

This all day long.

 

[Dr Q]

Thank You of course.

Shame it is Chelsea, utter Scum team
Good quote on Twitter last night 'Its like your husband leaving the family to shack up with the town whore'

 

[beardy gull]

Leave for the England job - Thank you.
Leave for Chelsea - **** you.
