Give it a break the amount of clubs in the EPL that have underperformed this season in mental. Big picture the only teams that come out with any credit are Brentford and Brighton. Everton are are a total clusterfuck debted to the extreme. Half built new stadium well behind schedule. Genuinepossibility of going broke. Look at Chelsea FFS now they are a laughing stock. There’s no way SR are asset stripping. Our failure next season will demolish their multi club model. That won’t be allowed to happen.

Dellman Posted 9 May, 2023 Share Posted 9 May, 2023 7 hours ago, Saint Garrett said: Should do everything we can to bring in Potter. It's a great opportunity for him to rebuild his career after his awful stint at Chelsea. There will be a managerial merry go round this summer you'd think, as Chelsea, Spurs, Saints, Leeds, Leicester, Bournemouth (maybe), Poss West Ham (Maybe), Forest (Maybe) will probably all be looking for new managers. There are plenty out of work atm: Luis Enrique Zidane Pochettino Conte Villas Boas De Boer Nagalsmann Van Bronkhorst Vitor Pereira Cannavaro Gallardo Low Lage Thorup Rodgers Potter Benitez Gracia Ralph Vieira Bielsa Marsch Struber Sanchez-Flores Garrido Hoefkens Hutter Favre Plus a load of others... Potter is my first choice. Could be perfect for him and for us. He got Brighton from nowhere playing very attacking style. O for the days when that was our style....not just Ron Davies Mike Channon Martin Chivers but also Phil Boyer, George O'Bryan, Derek Reeves and of course Steve Moran all in the steps of Charlie Wayman, we've always had goalscorers. Potter is my choice to bring back style. Chelsea was overloaded with millionaire egos, not his fault they were so bloated. He wouldn't have that trouble here. He wore the red and white a few times, he must know he is the perfect fit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the bigger attraction despite being in the championship is that we afford the manager to re-build the side in his image with a potentially a lot of money to spend. Not too many clubs clean out majority of the squad and can start from scratch - reminds me when palace let everyone go on free's and rebuilt. Thats gotta be quite sexy for a manager, that alone i could see potter going for it and as others have said being in the championship holds no fears for him and god even Benetiz and Biesla managed there, am sure he can as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting because we've actually got quite a lot of players who you could reasonably hold onto and think they would be quite good in the Championship. Obviously we'll lose our top players but could easily keep Bednarek, Stephens, Lyanco, Bree, Tino, S Armstrong, A Armstrong, Sulemana, Onuachu, Edozie, Mara, maybe Perraud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunglasses Ron Posted 10 May, 2023 Share Posted 10 May, 2023 I personally don't see Potter as being unattainable and would definitely like to see him come here. There's probably more chance of someone like Vieira though I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly can’t get worse than bottom of the league for what seems like the whole season though😳. we’ve got to move on. Potentially could well be an exciting season. As I keep on saying Rasmus is not responsible for recruitment from now on. It wasnt the plan for him to do recruitment this season. He’s a clever guy but clearly became far ahead of himself. You really can’t excuse Nathan Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 10 May, 2023 Share Posted 10 May, 2023 I thought James Milner a while back, when people were discussing Lampard, Gerrard & Rooney. Personally, I’d rather have Adam Lallana than any of those 3. That’s not to say I’d want him as first choice, only that I’d take him & Milner over the 3 England “stars”. I’ve seen a lot of posts stating “let’s get someone in early” or from the day the season ends. That discounts a few who are likely to lose their jobs, Cooper for one, if Forest are relegated (wouldn’t surprise me if he went after keeping them up either). Personally, I don’t think Potter is realistic, if I was his agent I’d advise him to sit tight, De Zerbi is in demand so a return to Brighton could open up and then there’s Leicester & possibly West Ham.

If you have had recent `success' in the Prem, but obviously were sacked, you don't then immediately drop down to the Championship. You sit tight until another Prem job comes along...which it will...because, as we found out, finding a manager capable of looking after a top flight side isn't easy.
