Yes. I’d have worked closely with them for years and evidently become close. Why wouldn’t you want to take a successful team with you if you thought it would contribute to success at the next level? There would have been no ‘loyalty’ if we’d wanted to have sacked him and his team. Works the...
Given Sanchez is only where he is due to Potter having the courage to drop Ryan this is pretty much the least that’s expected from a farewell perspective. It’s not even got the thinnest whiff of a plea to come and get him (although I fancy they will anyway)
Fair point. It’s all over the top but particularly grassroots and non-league football. I expect a chunk of police will be drafted up to London and any other place where substantial events are going on.
I’d rather it off solely so we have our new coaching team in place before we play again. I think it’s a bit OTT to cancel all the football due to the death of a 96 year old monarch.
Not really. They sacked a manager they weren’t keen on who was in situ when they took over. This is their first appointment. Potter is bright and pragmatic and just wouldn’t take a job he feared he’d be out of in 10 games. It’s why he turned down the conversation with Spurs.
Potter quite simply wouldn’t take the job if he wasn’t convinced he’d have time to get his ideas across. They’ve obviously convinced him they are different from their predecessors
If you think GP is driven by the money you haven’t been paying attention to what matters to him. He’ll go because he thinks it’s a project which he can garner more success in the longer term. An extra 50k a week or whatever wouldn’t keep him here if he comes to that conclusion.
Yes. Don’t get a top 6 club calling very often. Pretty good squad and a chance to manage in the CL. Yes they can be trigger happy but I’d be confident enough with that squad I could get results. Less than a year ago people were calling for his head. Only takes a similar run and he may not get...
