I just dip in and out real quick these days and miss any nuance!
My comment we won’t have considered him isn’t my rating of him as a coach, he just doesn’t fit our style and tactical model imho.
With context you can take say Potter’s final 20 games (seeing as he was in charge for a great start 22/23) and RDZ’s first 20 and results, goals scored, conceded are pretty much aligned.
The side had great confidence from the previous season and continued that on.
The very reason so many...
No one was blaming RDZ, certainly not the club. I think the club are happy with what RDZ delivered with what he had, I don't think the issue is with them, the issue is RDZ himself wasn't happy with that, and he's gone because of it.
The only glaringly obvious thing is that we've had 2 full...

It might appear that way on NSC, elsewhere the vibe feels more logical/accepting that he could come back.
Don’t think there would be much division or toxicity tbh, if Tony thinks he should come back, I dare say most fans will accept that.
I think the difference is we keep and update analytical data on targets; I don’t think all clubs do, but I dare say we had a full scope of RDZ’s teams and methods before Potter had even cleared his desk. Doesn’t mean they’re available or will want to come, but that is what is going on in the...
Wow. So you have to retire as soon as you're passed your best according to some, even if you love what you do.
Jack Nicklaus probably doesn't win his 6th Masters at the age of 46 by some poster's logic.
None of that really the same as going in for a just promoted manager - that’s quite rare. Swansea weren’t promoted when we went in for Potter.
If it’s ’the nature of the beast’ - why was there such upset at Potter leaving? :shrug:
