[Albion] Replacing Graham Potter (eventually)

[A1X]

As I said during the debates on In / Out back in the day, I expect there to be a list of potential managerial options on Barber’s desk ready to be acted on if Graham leaves / is sacked / gets abducted by aliens and the club will have done their homework. They clearly do it for players, no reason to expect they haven’t done the same for managers, it’s what professional organisations do.

several options, russel martin, graeme jones, ian evatt, ivan juric, marcelo gallardo (suspect he'll have bigger fish to fry) would all be good options. though as ever with this club, we could well look in-house

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I have no idea and don't wish to think about it. Why look ahead to a Potterless future during these wonderful times?

If he's still here in a year I'll be delighted. Probably one of two things will have happened, we either end up underwhelming into a bottom half finish, or he fancies staying on when we're in Europe.

As to his replacement, it has to be a continuity candidate in terms of tactical nous and personality, not an easy combination as Potter seems very unique.

Part of me would love us to be the first side to employ a female manager, whether Emma Hayes or Sabrina Wiegman. They just feel like a good fit to me.

That`s a joke right If i have an electrical problem i call an electrician,if my roof leaks i call a roofer,so if we need (hopefully not for a very long time in the future) a new manager why would we give the job to someone who has less knowledge of the men`s game than any league 2 manager ?.

And before any possible misogyny claims are made,i would want a woman ahead of a man in a similarly female situation of such high importance,and not just to be "the first side" to be different .

Gary Nevlle got the Beckham Miami job after failing with England Womens. On your logic Sabrina Wiegman would be second choice.

Graeme Jones. A good coach and we’ll be wanting a coach rather than a manager.

Plenty of women's teams have male managers and some are amongst the most successful in the game.

If he leaves, we might have to resort to old fashioned methods. Like having strikers at the club.

This.

I don’t want to think about it as I fear very difficult times post Potter. Massive, massive boots to fill. I think the job he’s done and doing here is incredible and still under rated by many.

How is that my logic,in actual fact you have proved my point exactly,because i would have chosen Sabrina Wiegman in the first place .

Why would you? She wasn't available.

I stopped playing local football at 36 (probably to a round of applause,as i was never any good) but i joined a local cricket team and had some remarkable success,who`d of guessed ?. But while i could bowl pretty reasonably against players of the same quality,when a friend got me a couple of games in a higher league i was out of my depth .I believe the higher you have played and the tougher the opposition the more workable knowledge you gain .You have to be there see it and have done it ,not just seen it at a lower level and think that qualifies you at any level . Whether you or i like it or not ,the men`s game is a completely different animal to the women`s game .

As you have said plenty of the women`s teams managers are men and some are successful,some obviously not,but i wouldn`t want any of the successful men to be our next manager either . I think it is a case of horses for courses in our great game .

I think your choosing to miss my point,dont you ?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I’d imagine Vincent Kompany will be on the shortlist.

What's he done to warrant that?

 

[pornomagboy]

Bruno probably working aside him to learn as much as possible

I’d also think Xabi Alonso would be on our short list.

I've always liked Roberto Martinez and am an admirer of Thomas Frank.

Its a fair question, that's what message boards are for.

However, its possible Potter may want to stay longer than most people think like Ferguson and Wenger.
