We seem to have become a stepping stone club for literally every position and role within the club. Praps offering something a little more lucrative to retain our talent, could have just an positive outcome as this so called 'succession plan' which seems to be running dry. Let's be honest, bar...
Agreed. It would be unreasonable to expect him not to take the team he came in with. However, there is absolutely no way he didn't advise the Chelsea hierarchy of other key staff at our club. Hence the mass poaching of staff, coaches and a club legend. As far as I'm concerned, he put the wheels...
Is there a chance this is agent talk to try and improve our offer? I personally think we should move on if he's not that into us. He'd probably be gone in a year if he did remotely well with us anyway. Same as with Ipswich.
At this point, I'm looking at the top couple of candidates very underwhelmed. The Swedish chap looks the most interesing. There are a lot of European clubs, with much bigger pedigree who need coaches. Maybe the plan has always been Potter but they are waiting it out so the 60% of #NoToPotter...
In fairness, they always end seasons strongly. They did under Roy last year. I do think they have a decent manager in Glasner and they will deffo be top half. Perhaps taking our place in the top 10. Eze and Olise are pretty injury prone and without them, they struggle (as any team would).
The...
Do you mean what he did in the final few months...? Granted he changed our style of play but we were pretty ineffective offensively.
People argue that you can't rewrite history and take away was Potter did. Then in the same breath accuse people of being 'stuck in 2020' when reflecting on...
FWIW I was never in the Potter OUT brigade. I was frustrated at times but never OUT.
You do fail to mention the 1 home win in a calendar year, 6 defeats in a row or maybe the complete lack of goals. He even managed coach Chelsea into a team that couldn't hit a barn door. Potter is the XG king.
When I say everyone, I basically mean the Potter IN brigade, whose main argument is he that left us in 4th after 6 games and ended the previous season strongly! They seem particularly incapable of zooming out beyond those 14 games.
He was clearly tapped up and he acted like a snake by having...
Maybe there is just too much emotional baggage with Potter for a return. The Chelsea game expressed just how much of it there was. He did a good job transforming our play and left us in great form. However, perhaps it's best it remains as part of the history lesson. Would I feel different if he...
I'm not saying he isn't a good coach and our form when he left was excellent. However, everyone only remembers those 14 games. The equivalent to the 3rd of a season with a long rest at halfway. The previous two years included long barron runs, not scoring, 1 home win in a calendar year and 6...
