[Albion] Potter arguably worse than Hyypia

[Icy Gull]

The bounce has received more attention than the frankly stupid original thread

The pre season against Saints was enough for me to decide that were in serious trouble with Hyypia

And how does that make you feel ?

It amuses me, live with it or ignore me.

It's just another tedious bounce taking the mood of the time out of context. I'll say it again, I was never Potter Out but all these bounces do is drive people away from this site. Varying opinions on the whole should be welcomed. Try and take them apart AT THE TIME if you see fit, not months later. It's cretinous.

Maturing like a fine milk some of these comments.

Neither. I will continue to point out the neediness on both sides.

Sorry, but suggesting GP has ever been even close to being worse than Hyypia is and always was laughable. I make no apology for being amused ages down the line

This has absolutely nothing to do with voting Potter In or Out

This thread is undoubtedly embarrassing for those who originally contributed but is no way near the cringe level that a local columnist achieved when they asked ‘Is Potter the worst Manager Brighton has ever had?’ around the same time as this post.

This warrants naming

Pretty sure I know who it might be

If I’m right he posts on here and should out himself!

If I’m wrong, no harm done, I haven’t given the username

Most people have wanted him in at times and out at times. Same with every single one of our managers. The two extremes come on here gloating that they were right every time we win a few games (the diehard inners) or lose a few games (the diehard outers). When the latter happens this season someone will doubtless bounce one of the olive branch threads. I’m beginning to think this need to appear to be right about the manager is a bit problematic for some people.

Nope. Not I, and I'm well aware I'm not most, but for your most claim to pertain, you'll have to point to a poll with a significant number of voters, with a clear majority voting Potter Out.

 

[Rogero]

Me neither . What a strange comment.

 

[m@goo]

I don't see why it's embarrassing to hold an opinion several months ago based on performance that would probably be different to what it is now based on performance. You can only base your opinion of a manager based on their over all performance up till now can't you?

This hasn't aged well. Where did TSB go? Must have rejoined.

I do sometimes think that some people thrive on conflict. There was a tennis coach at my wife's club who could not see a happy or settled state of affairs with creating disruption. Icy - you're not a tennis coach are you ?

 

[Guinness Boy]

I agree. Talentless sycophant out.

The talented TSB and THPP to headhunt the replacement.

My word I was grumpy. And quite wrong as it turned out.

Just shows what a year of only winning once at home will do to you (especially if you've been locked in with your nearest and dearest for the best part of a year )

Ok, ‘most’ was probably careless. I think I just meant to draw a distinction between those who spent a good part of last year loudly proclaiming their loyalty/disloyalty to the manager and those of us only occasionally motivated on that subject either way. Seems it’s still happening. The manager is not at all divisive himself but his fans and detractors certainly are.

Poyet absolutely baffled me when he ditched Andrew Whing (a perfectly decent right back at the time) and bought in the tackle shy Gavin Hoyte on loan. It was only with the arrival of Inigo Calderon, that you could start to see what he wanted to achieve. Hyypia was the opposite. I think he nearly forced Bruno into early retirement, with his clueless approach. The only thing that emerged was that not only was there no master plan, there wasn't really a plan at all.

Poyet didn't become manager until November 2009. Hoyte came to Brighton in October 2009 when Andrew Whing was injured. Calde arrived in January 2010 as a Poyet acquisition.

Nope, but I think you meant “without” not “with” didn’t you? Otherwise I could take what looks like a little dig as a compliment

You can tell it is the international break.

You're just a typical football fanatic who wears their heart on the sleeve, enthralled by a win, gutted by defeats (especially runs of defeats).

But never vindictive/irrational in a loathing of GP ... that's left to a minute cabal of strange posters.
