[Albion] Potter watch

[Mancgull]

Maybe holding out for the City job when Pep eventually quits.
What a great position to be in that the manager has such high ambitions and that Tony highlighted early what potential Potter has and tied him down to a long term contract.
Palace on the other hand.......

It strikes me as a bit odd that PL clubs are paying £40M-£50M plus for players, yet balk at paying £20M for a manager.

That will be because there is no resale value for a manager unless he's poached.

The wages they pay to the players is money they'll never see again either. That doesn't seem to bother them.

With very few exceptions, there's not much evidence that any particular manager does much to effect results in the medium to long term.

The major benefit comes from having a manager who fits into the overall approach and ethos of the club, so they're only part of a larger whole - think Guardiola or Klopp at City and Liverpool. Those sort of appointments are normally lined up in advance, rather than poaching them from another club. I gather City were waiting for Pep for years, and we had our eyes on Potter's progress for a good while as well.

Some clubs, it's fair to say, aren't that well run.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Only wants a top 4 job!

Oh dear - if Alan "Boss of Goss" is saying it, he's as good as gone!

What a visionary Tony is, he recognised GP’s talent very early on and then gave the huge contract extension. He’s backed and believed in him ever since then, even during some of our bad runs earlier in the season.

Some chairman would have booted GP back in early December, not Tony.

Exactly, strange that typically more discerning NSC is running with anything in The Star and The Sun...

 

[Silverhatch]

In a year's time, without moving anywhere, he'll be managing a top 4 club.

 

[oldboyroy]

And there were some on here questioning why the hell did Tony give him a massive 6 year deal 3 months in!! Just shows we know bugger all and Tony is just so good a business man.

 

[Stat Brother]

People were surprised Potter got a 6 year deal but with it comes heavy compensation. Tony has played a blinder - an ordinary 3 year deal and Spurs might have paid that up.

He's only played a blinder if GPott is more than a bottom 6 Premier League manager.

Now like many on here I think, and I certainly hope, he is.
But if he isn't then Mr Bloom will be having to give Mr Potter a £15m Christmas present.


I already can't wait for the season, so much so in fact I'm contemplating going to Burnley!

I know he 'proved his doubters wrong' but I still don't buy into OGS.
I can't shake the feeling last season Utd were decent in spite of him, not because of him.

Assuming GPott does have the 21/22 we all think he's on the cusp of then I think that'll be his next home dugout, and they'd be on pissing around with that deal.

Yes, it does seem rather silly.

If I owned Spurs or Everton, I’d be driving to Brighton with the cash in the boot (of my big Bentley)

Throws a different slant on “drive him there myself”

 

[andy1980]

With a win rate of 49% in nearly 800 league matches, and 27 years managing, shouldn’t you be referring to Potter as a Favresque type manager ?

No because Favre has never managed Brighton, so from the perspective I am viewing things he is a Potteresque manager.

Bizarrely it was ever thus.

and then I look at the time it was posted!

"Struggling Brighton"

At least we know a few people who didn't write that.

It's all bullcrap anyway as both the Argus and Andy Naylor that no approach has been made for Potter, so it's a case of the media doing what they do best in making the news, not reporting it.
