[Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

[US Seagull]

Is it just recency bias, or does it feel like this closed season's managerial merry-go-round is especially chaotic? I just can't even keep track anymore. Who's in? Who's out? Who's supposedly going somewhere, but maybe somewhere else?

33/1 on Skybet. The 45 yo manager of Lyon, Pierre Sage looks a decent fit.

How Pierre Sage Took Lyon from Last Place to the UEFA Europa League

On the 30th November 2023, unknown managerial rookie Pierre Sage was appointed as Lyon’s third manager of the season. Les Gones were only 12 games into the season but sat bottom of the league with just three points. Meanwhile behind the scenes, in-fighting and threatened lawsuits between new and...

Huh - so that's what (or who) saved Lyon's season. Brilliant stuff.

If Potter didn’t have ambition, he wouldn’t have left for Chelsea, as above. I don’t think a cattle prod is needed, maybe a caffeine boost to get Potter running up and down the touch line!

He was probably surprised that BHA fans didn’t sit back and applaud him for getting the Chelsea job. It’s a testament to our progress that his departure was met more with anger than sadness. That shows the level of expectations from fans, he cannot accuse fans of lacking ambition and if he wants a demanding job, here it is. Achieving success without cheating Financial Fair play should be more satisfying than working for a club that just spends spend spends.

The club does not express such high expectations itself, due to keeping the club on a sound financial footing, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t want trophies.

Now he has seen what this club can deliver, he should have the appetite to exceed De Zerbi’s achievements (reaching quarter finals of Europa League might be a bit tough, but why not strive for that).

It‘s not unrealistic for BHA to at least reach a cup final. We’ve come close in recent years, once under Chris Hughton with a much less talented squad. It was criminal not to beat Wolves and reach a semi-final again this season. Manchester United were for the taking and an FA Cup Final was within reach.

Potter is the best jobless manager with Premier League experience, like it or not Potter haters.

Poch hasn’t got a job are you saying Potter is better that Poch? Ridiculous

 

[Mad as my Mother]

Could do a job?

 

[southstandandy]

No rush. Rather they took their time rather than rush an appointment. Sure TB will do due diligence.

 

[pigmanovich]

Could do a job?

As long as Fati doesn't come with him

Edit: too slow

Poch is overrated, hasn’t won anything of note. At least nobody is pretending that Potter is an elite manager.

McKenna is presumably the favoured candidate, Potter is back up. The club is willing to take risks with young managers, as well as young players, so BHA do stand a decent chance of getting McKenna if Man United don’t step in

The club seems to be tight as a duck's bottom this time. No leaks. Last time, RDZ was the early front runner and duly appointed. Same with Potter. I just don't get the same vibe with McKenna or any other candidates. Apart from media speculation, I don't think anyone has correctly identified who we are trying for.

Agree with all of this

I don’t particularly want Potter back but if he is appointed I will continue to fully support the club. That is far more important to me than throwing the toys out of the pram.

Actually I would find it very funny after the money Chelsea paid for him to get him back for nothing. It would probably bring a knee-jerk bid from Chelsea to gazump us anyway.

Maybe it's some kind of cold war style "triple cross" to lure chelsea into re-employing Potts.

Well, I suppose they did appoint Lampard twice.

 

[knekkebrød]

Isn't Potter still paid handsomely by Chelsea until he finds a new job?

Is there any way we can afford to match those wages? If we can't, why all this noise about him signing for us again?

That beeing said. I don't get why so many of you are so angry at Potter.

Final question: Appart from loosing his job (or not knowing if he still had a job) at Brighton because we wanted a new head coach with a big team of coaches, what excactly has Bruno done to justify beeing labeled as "Judas"?

Still team Gallardo here.

 

[jcdenton08]

can you imagine the scenes if Xavi, one of the greatest footballers of all time, turned up on Tony’s helicopter for big unveiling at Pease Pottage services, as he looks around bewildered and Barber offers him anything off the menu (£10 or less)

Don't come on here with something bordering on plausible.
