Do you mean what he did in the final few months...? Granted he changed our style of play but we were pretty ineffective offensively.
People argue that you can't rewrite history and take away was Potter did. Then in the same breath accuse people of being 'stuck in 2020' when reflecting on...
FWIW I was never in the Potter OUT brigade. I was frustrated at times but never OUT.
You do fail to mention the 1 home win in a calendar year, 6 defeats in a row or maybe the complete lack of goals. He even managed coach Chelsea into a team that couldn't hit a barn door. Potter is the XG king.
When I say everyone, I basically mean the Potter IN brigade, whose main argument is he that left us in 4th after 6 games and ended the previous season strongly! They seem particularly incapable of zooming out beyond those 14 games.
He was clearly tapped up and he acted like a snake by having...
Maybe there is just too much emotional baggage with Potter for a return. The Chelsea game expressed just how much of it there was. He did a good job transforming our play and left us in great form. However, perhaps it's best it remains as part of the history lesson. Would I feel different if he...
I'm not saying he isn't a good coach and our form when he left was excellent. However, everyone only remembers those 14 games. The equivalent to the 3rd of a season with a long rest at halfway. The previous two years included long barron runs, not scoring, 1 home win in a calendar year and 6...
Didn't we try away fans in the SE corner one championship season? It's was quickly changed back. Maybe due to low away attendances meaning empty seats on camera? I personally think the SW corner and a new standing/singing section in the South.
You prove my point. That is why we don't have a system of letting managers sign their own playes. Fati and Dahoud.
I'm not saying he isn't a good coach, he is. However, it's worth noting that he had us fourth after 6 games, not 20!
Potter couldn't handle 10 boos back then. He'd need a considerably thicker skin this time around and I could see it getting ugly if he went on another bad run. It's a sure way good way for the club to devide it's fanbase into two.
The £5mill is probably made up of clauses and bonuses with a much lower base pay. If not, then it's one hell of a commitment from a newly promoted side.
