f***ing Fulham. Haven't beaten them in 8 premier league matches despite them getting relegated twice in this time., Hughton 1 draw 1 defeat, Potter 2 draws 1 defeat, RDZ 1 draw 2 defeats.
Bournemouths greatest ever manager, Eddie Howe, f***ed off to better things at Burnley after two seasons in charge, but then came back and spent eight incredibly successful seasons with them.
Others have gone back with differing degrees of success second time round, can think of Mourinho at...
Oh jeezus. People want to see what they want to see don't they. What you are suggesting is Potter should have dropped one of MacAllister, Gross, Caicedo, Lallana, March, Welbeck or Trossard from the team that won away at Manchester United for the first time in our 100 and whatever year HISTORY...
No, against Newcastle in the second game of the season, when he created a great late chance that Gross spurned in a 0-0 draw. He came on as a sub against West Ham, then made his starting debut against Forest Green. RDZ also used Mitoma as a sub for his first six games, giving him his first...
But are you not so upset about this BECAUSE you had warmed to him and we're enjoying what we were doing before the rug was so cruelly pulled from under our feet?
If he is appointed Bloom will introduce him and ask us to get behind him. So the two things go together, and like I say, I don't beleive the fans will go against Bloom.
A LOT will be said in press conferences and media interviews that will get 95% onside.
Just like our young players, Potter was learning as a manager whilst with us. He was constantly trying things, some worked, some didn't. But he's better for it.
Anyway at the end of the day the reason that vast majority of Potter-outers don't want him back is because they were badly hurt...
I still find it very hard to believe the fans will go against Tony Bloom. I think we're a long way from that point and the return of Graham Potter won't be the catalyst for it.
Well he's not our lover either is he :shrug: He was an employee of our football club. I've had employees leave my organisation for better offers and career progression. I didn't shout at them or boo them out the door, many are still friends. I'm not the biggest org in my field and can respect...
Let's try a different, but similar, analogy. You've got a daughter, kind, loving, talented, bright future ahead of her, but then she gets infatuated with some dodgy bloke who promises her fame and fortune, gets her into drink and drugs, you fall out with each other and they run off together...
Not what I meant, it's not that it ends, its probably that it's just quite draining to have to keep implementing it. And it's not just the manager but directors of football and recruitment staff and medical staff and so on. I'm sure they'd like a few years where they can update their succession...
Oh if he does come back it will start with a very long press conference where he does a big mea culpa, and fields question after question where he apologises, says he made a big mistake and brighton was always the best club for him. Might even do a controlled fans forum to the same effect, plus...
Maybe he does want an easier life? Coming make would make sense in that case because Chelsea sure looked like the hardest life imaginable in football management
