kwsaint Posted 2 April, 2023 Share Posted 2 April, 2023 Why would he come here? He did really well at Brighton, but they are a well run club with a sensible recruitment strategy. Our problems will not be solved by getting in a good manager. We had one in Ralph and he got burnt out trying. Our problems start at the top, and won't get sorted until SR are history. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 2 April, 2023 Share Posted 2 April, 2023 Newspaper reports suggest he was on £10m to £12m a year, 7 months into a 5 year contract. He’s got enough money to wait it out until the summer or even later and see what his options are. I don’t think Chelsea will damage his reputation too much, he’s done a bit of a shit job there but I get the feeling it’s a bit of a basket case of a club and their transfer strategy has been somewhat illogical. Getting a PL job or even a top side abroad shouldn’t be a problem for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaptopSaint Posted 2 April, 2023 Share Posted 2 April, 2023 Going to Palace would be a Harry'n'Jim moment and probably wouldn't end well. If I was running the club I'd be on the phone to him. The worst he could do is say no. But I doubt they'll even try. It'll either be Selles next season or a hipster from the Danish third division.

Turkish Posted 2 April, 2023 Share Posted 2 April, 2023 This had got Potter to Leicester written all over it. in any case I think I might alone in the hype here, his premier league finishes have been 17 (taking over from Houghron) 15, 16, 9. Plus only once had his Brighton team scored more than 40 goals. Not good enough for a fan base that wanted a manager sacked who finished 8th and scored 41. Potter is the wrong man for the I want to be entertained brigade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you are wrong. If Sports Republic are genuinely in the game to take us forward I am sure they could offer GP an attractive package, even if the journey is likely to start in the second tier. We should be moving heaven and earth to make this happens. But I have no faith in Ankersen. Maybe Potter is not in the right lodge or maybe he’s not a church goer?

Nemi Posted 2 April, 2023 Share Posted 2 April, 2023 Would he even make that much difference? Not saying he isn’t a good manager but at Brighton it wasn’t until end of last season / this season he was really getting results. Brighton were playing some good football under him but were notorious for not finishing their chances - let’s be honest if he came here he’d probably have us playing better football, but he isn’t going to suddenly magic up the goals we need to avoid relegation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 2 April, 2023 Share Posted 2 April, 2023 Potters problems at Chelsea emanated largely from the fact that they couldn't score goals (sound familiar?). If he struggled to get goals out of the highly expensive, multi talented squad at Chelsea, how on earth would he get goals from our donkeys? It's a non starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyNumber7 Posted 2 April, 2023 Share Posted 2 April, 2023 1. There is zero chance Potter will want to come to a team in a mess and heading for the Championship when he can wait 'til the summer and probably have a pick of decent mid table clubs to choose from. 2. Just me that thinks he's over-hyped? Had his struggles at Brighton last season (they went six home games without scoring) and they have improved since he left, then he turned Chelsea into a shitshow. Not saying I wouldn't have him here but not sure he's as good as many make him out to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
