From what I’ve heard, that’s the total opposite of his issues. Since he made the Spain squad for the first time, he became hugely arrogant and could do no wrong. If he ever dropped a clanger, he’d moan that it was someone else’s fault or a foul - he’s very, very hard to manage due to his...

Think it was probably a mixture of a few things - he wanted more say on transfers (and his track record wasn’t the best last season), his constant whining in public since January, being a very tricky character to manage on a day-to-day basis as well as the Italy dentist’s trip mid-season…

Think it’s yet another masterstroke from Messrs Bloom and Barber. They wanted RDZ out but wanted to do it in the best possible way for the club… Tell him we want him to stay but we won’t be recruiting too much over the summer. He says ‘no thanks’. We say no hard feelings but can we have an...

This summer, looks like they've scuppered our deals with both McKenna and Dewsbury-Hall - genuinely didn't think I could despise that club any more but, fair play to them, they've achieved what I thought was impossible...

Fabrizio saying Potter, Sam Wallace of the Telegraph saying Cooper... Really hope it's Cooper as I despise Romano and would love him to be wrong again - nothing against Leicester!

How long ago was that (re: being locked in negotiations)?

Where were these rumours mentioned? Heard something recently about this - and would suggest it’s definitely true!

Contract agreed until 2027 and he’s desperate for Pascal to stay - according to sky sports just now…

My two pennies worth on this (and I very clearly know nothing at all). I agree with you that McKenna was our first choice. I believe we thought he'd come but, for whatever reason, it didn't work out. I reckon Hurzeler was also on the succession planning list but perhaps further down the road -...

Loved Potter when he was here and felt he did an amazing job. It was a complete revolution from the Chris Hughton era in terms of how we played, De Zerbi was more of an evolution. That said, didn't like the way he left and some of the comments made after his time here. Am pleased he isn't coming...

Think that's definitely right. I also wonder whether the squad's view of him was universally positive. Whilst most I believe loved him and his way of working, I do think there were some who clashed with him quite a bit (definitely in the case of Sanchez and Trossard but also find it interesting...

Think he did go to the dentist but the reason he had to go could have had something to do with all of this…

Thought he looked excellent. No chance on the goals, looked tidy with the other shots he has to deal with and came and dealt with crosses very effectively. That ball in where Soucek got injured was a horrible ball to deal with - he did it brilliantly.

Think that’s probably right - although we should have perhaps come up with a more balebable option than Lokonga IMHO

Pretty annoyed now he’s got that new haircut…

Presume this is a joke that I don’t get. I’d love to get it for my daughter but highly unlikely I could afford it unfortunately. It’s a brilliant painting regardless of the fact it’s the original of the semi-final programme - a bit of historic Albion memorabilia right there…

Massive thank you! We are in a better place than we've ever been and he has done an amazing job. We were always going to lose him at some point. Thought we might get this season out of him but I absolutely don't blame him for taking on one of the biggest jobs in the Premier League and world...

Teddy Jenks on the left and Jensen Weir on the right I think

Not as good as last year - Potter out!!!

The 'poster' which was me said nothing of the sort - he merely stated that they don't break transfer target stories (apart from Naylor a few years back which he got into trouble for)
