[Albion] Which ex manager do you have the least respect for?

[TomandJerry]

Interesting debate, always liked Poyet as manager until the ending and likewise for De Zerbi who had us playing some of the best football we've seen.

Straight shoot out between three.

Option A)

Gus Poyet for claiming he was sacked live on air and also the Crystal Palace semi final debacle



Option B)

De Zerbi for in which the manner he left and then went on to become the Marseille manager

Option C)

Potter for which he sailed off to Chelsea with everyone but the tea lady and Barber

Poyet.

All were great and gave us sides that were a joy to watch at their peak here, all left badly


I wouldn’t have wanted any of them NOT to have managed us. I had respect for all them prior to their departures/meltdowns in 2 cases, Judas in the other.

 

[A1X]

The one who openly criticised us even while he was here. Love that we've beaten him both times he's come back too.

I would always boo Potter when he turns up, but not the other two.

 

[Milano]

Potter by a mile.

I think this should be opened to other clubs. Which would bring me to Roy Hodgson, the biggest fraud there’s ever been, literally a walking and talking example of the Peter Principal. Followed closely by ‘Arry’.

I don't think RDZ left us badly. Yes we had a dreadful final 3 months or so, but he left on good terms and we made around £6m in compensation from his move to Marseille. He just fell out with our transfer policy - nothing wrong with that IMO.

I voted Poyet as he basically belittled the club with his ceiling comments, and always felt he was better. While Potter ran for the cash too quickly, it was also understandable. Poyet just acted like Billy Big B*llocks and got owned

Brian Clough.

 

[Mellotron]

I don’t really bear any of them any ill will.

As said above, they all improved us, I’m glad all of them were our managers at the time.

 

[brighton terra]

It can only be Poyet. He embarrassed the club (and himself) on live TV. Unforgivable!

 

[brighton_tom]

Poyet. Every time Poyet.

 

[chickens]

Poyet, although Graham “Easy Life” Potter runs him a close second. Way to let your old bosses know that you were coasting in the role.

 

[Weststander]

Poyet.

If TB or PB were ever to write an autobio with no legal constraints, I strongly suspect they'd reveal Poyet to be a bullsh1tter. Plus he didn't like Muzza, caused his exit and later tried to blame TB with the two budgets fantasy.

 

[HantsSeagull]

Cant forgive Poyet for the play off semi final fiasco

 

[DJ NOBO]

Potter walked out on us, like he walked out on Swansea. It happens.
Poyet‘s disrespect to the club felt personal.

 

[METALMICKY]

Potter just edges Poyet for me. I understand ambition and the money but cooking up the plan with their Yank owner to return to take key members of our staff. And the ' glow up ' so he could look smart enough for the Fulham Road. But for our brilliant succession management we could have gone into free fall.

Hodgson you say?

You only have to look how the careers have panned out.
Early days yet for Potter (only been in charge of 3 EPL clubs, er, versus Poyet's one) and RDZ,
but Poyet's career has been like Hodgson's except in reverse.

 

[kevtherev]

Poyet by a country mile..... And basically made himself unemployable. What Chairman in his right mind, would touch him now. When he had the best Chairman in the game and behaved the way he did. Glass celling lol, look where we both are now Gus!!!!!!!!

 

[BadFish]

Nah, life's too short to be worrying about this shit.

I am looking forward to next season. Under Fab.

 

[HangletonGull]

Still can’t work out why gus was sacked , and no way was he “sacked on tv” , gus started the “we are back “ , so potter for me
