[Football] Potter to Leicester?

[Withdean South Stand]

How long until Potter becomes Alan Curbishley? I half expected the miserable clown to show up on BBC/ITV for the Euros coverage this summer to stay relevant in football conversations.

Potter has apparently asked for some time to think about it. Leicester understandably getting twitchy so have moved towards plan B. This might be a ruse to get potter off the pot

Time to think about how much he wont get from Chelsea when he signs elsewhere?

Prospective employers must be coming to the conclusion that Potter hasn't got any real appetite for the game any more, and they're probably right. His psyche must have taken a real battering during that Chelsea debacle. I'm not the bloke's biggest fan, as some of you may have gathered, but it's still a bit sad to see

I was thinking about starting a thread asking exactly that. I'd say he is OK for the moment, but if he hasn't found a job that is right for him by next Summer, he will be in real danger of the Curbishley Effect.

Difficult to see what Potter's game plan is in all this.
He's interviewed for a couple of jobs now and seemingly become very close to dotting I's and crossing T's yet stalled at the very last minute.
If he was holding out for England job as suggested elsewhere surely he wouldn't have even bothered interviewing with Ajax, Leicester etc..?

Hmm, maybe trying to force the FA's hand by pretending he's gonna sign for a club, so if they want him they better come and get him QUICK! Or maybe all that's just in his head. Or maybe he's just an insufferable ditherer.

Maybe the FA have reached out to him as GS has said he is off.

Looks like Fabs tweet has disappeared from his account

You can never be wrong if you delete everything where you were wrong!

 

[TottonSeagull]

He doesn't want to give up his £1 mil a month from Chelsea....which I don't blame him but I do think he now thinks he is a lot better than he is. Don't see him as any better than Leicesters level!!

Gormless (rich) Brummie!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Poor old Swansman, at this rate he’ll be registered on a record number of message boards…

Kings(Road)Man, actually K Roadman maybe more suitable?

He's on the best gardening leave deal of all time so he's under no pressure. From recollection, he's turned down Leicester twice, Feyenoord and Ajax plus Lyon. Indications suggest he was sounded out about an Amex return and didn't fancy it.

I still believe he's hanging on for the England gig and wouldn't be surprised if he's already had a nod n wink from the FA blazers. One way or the other, one would think Southgate is surely gone after the Euros.

Shame he didn’t, the coverage would have been far more intelligent, relevant and watchable.

God help us all

Potter’s probably just completed his due diligence on Leicester City FC.
The summary being that they are likely to have a points deduction, need to sell some of their best players, and have a limited budget to buy new players.
And joining Leicester probably affects his compensation payments from Chelsea.
In addition, someone at the Football Association has probably tipped him off to not be to hasty and to keep himself available for employment when Southgate’s contract ends.

All of the above actually makes me wonder why he was even considering joining Leicester.

 

[Weststander]

I said all along, he's waiting for Ancelotti or Southgate to move on.

Or maybe we have no idea?

Just a thought.

 

[Denis]

I just think he doesn’t want to move his family from Hove, so a London based club would suit him more?

Or, he‘s just too busy reading history books

Kicked to the curb?

Leicester would be far better off with Cooper than Potter imo with the issues they face. Potter needs time to get things working his way and I dont think Leicester will have the patience for game after game of high XG and no goals.
