I’ve said before that he is living a millionaire lifestyle in Hove. He doesn’t need to work again. It has to be an offer he can’t refuse imo. Come on, he’s 49 and doesn’t really need it. Not sure I could be arsed/

None of the managers need to work again, they do it because they want to. I don't expect Potter to retire. But I also don't expect him to take on a team destined for relegation.

You forget that there were more than a few on here championing Cooper as RDZ’s replacement!
Hmmm, I don't recall him being very prominent on here as a replacement for RDZ, certainly not from Easy Towers. But then I accept cocaine is becoming more and more commonplace these days.

Potter’s payoff ended last month, coinciding with him being linked to a few jobs and regular appearances as a pundit for Sky etc.
I still say he has more money than you can shake a stick at. Why put yourself through it? He doesn’t strike me as the most driven of people. We are all different of course but very few are that driven. i found that 50 years of age very transforming. All of a sudden I couldn’t give a shit what people thought and my career, such as it was was flat lining. It didn’t really matter and actually became a lot more fun. We are all different.

Clearly Potter’s alleged £600,000 after deductions from Chelsea every last Thursday in the month must have some kind of time limit, but his next job is the most important of his career, if he succeeds Chelsea was a blip, if he fails that’s him effectively done in top level football.


Is the Leicester job too much of a gamble?
I know you like a good old fashioned conspiracy theory old bean, so here is one to get your teeth into……..

Moder and Lamptey did not make the bench against Southampton with the likes of youth team players such as Samuels preferred.

They both walk away for free in 7 months unless deals can be done in January.

The club received a confidential bid from Leicester City last week for the double transfer of Moder and Lamptey to Leicester.

The bid is competitive and Hürzeler has been told to avoid using the pair if possible.

Leicester made the move knowing that FFP serverely restricts their spending this January, right wingers Fatawu and De Cordova-Reid are out for the foreseeable and that the manager who has got the very best out of Moder and Lamptey is on his way to the Foxes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did we not play B'mouth yesterday, or do you have a crystal ball ?

I believe De Cordova-Reid made an appearance off the bench yesterday.

Otherwise, completely believable conspiracy theorising.

Do we even know if Potter wants to return? He's made enough to retire now and he seems more interested in the science side of sport.

Sometimes I wonder exactly what clubs expect managers in his position to achieve

That is a crazy decision, has he done something that we don't know?
