I can't boo someone who moved to a bigger club in return for life changing millions of pounds. And I can't boo Bruno because he was a cracking player for us and I don't believe he had a reasonable option but to go with Potter. If RDZ had insisted all the old backroom staff leave, he would have been jobless.
But surely you can boo a manager (who had been supported by Mr Chairman) and who walked out mid season taking the entire coaching staff with him?

Off the top of my head I can't think of another EPL manager who behaved in such an appalling way. Can you?

I'm concerned that the amount of boooooooooooooooooo may be easily misattributed to the wrong recipient. If we're 2-0 down at halftime and the ref has had a stinker and we've also been less than inspiring then how is anyone going to know whether the boooooooooooooooo is for Fab, Potter or the officials? Personally, I'd want Potter to be under no illusion any boooooooooooooo from me is solely targetted at him.

As with the return of Cucurella with Chelsea I've been trying to perfect the perfect booooooooo pitch for the Brown Note. Inconclusive testing on the train yesterday but I'm not going to give up.

I can't decide who to boo more... Potter, Bruno or Fabs... ? it's a tough call and one that might mean a % split of some sort... Right now I'm thinking of 70% Glow up teeth by my tiler Potter, 20% Always a Seagull and 10% for Fabs based mostly based on his fashion choices.

I'll need an array of hats, illustrating who I'm booing at which point... obviously if we let in a goal I may have to up Fabs by a few % points.

I'm so full of HATE it's going to be a long afternoon, not since Ian Gillan derided Blackmore for his antics in '93 will I have felt moved to BOO everyone so much.
Can we boo the team if we lose/draw or the people that boo or either manager it’s too confusing, maybe we could boo then specify who we are boing at.

Ambivalent. Potter did a great job & Bruno is a good guy. It’s Chelsea I dislike a lot more.
Agreed. I didn't like the way Potter (tbf, both of them) both seemed in a massive hurry to leave, as if they couldn't wait to get out of the place, and GP's comments about us after he'd left (in fact, it took him a couple of weeks even to issue the statutory 'thanks' to the club and the fans).

He seemed to not understand why he got the abuse and why we were disgruntled by the manner in which he left and the fact he took most of the backroom staff with him.

But he did do a great job while he was here - and I think that is why it hit us so hard, we were on the verge of a massive upward curve. At the time, it was like a huge kick in the guts.

I boooooooooooood him when he joined us for leaving Swansea. They boooooooooood him for leaving his previous club.

He has no loyalty.

Honestly, who would leave Brighton to go live in the nicest bit of London and earn loads more money? Mad.

You can't think of another PL manager who took another job and took his backroom staff with him?

No issue with either of them. Life's too short and it makes no difference to me what they did or what they have done since. Bruno is still a club legend to me, though.
Neither have let us down as much as that traitor @big nuts
Ditched the NSC Weakest Link Relay team for Phoenix. Glad to say we booooooed him together, with @Simgull and @penny's harmonica when he decided to do his warm up under our very noses.
😂 😂
Can't beat a pantomime boo.

Just boo constantly from start to finish so its all encompassing, and let them work out if its aimed at them or not. Easy, and less hassle for you. 😁
