I guess it might be because the Potter story was never finished. Everything was clicking and they he upped and went. There are many who will never forgive him for this, who are still furious two years later. There are many who would like him back because they want to see the story continued, to...

This was posted by an Arsenal fan in March 2023, on the day Paqueta got booked against Villa and the bets on the Aston Villa yellow were apparently combined with bets on fellow Brazilian Luiz Henrique at Betis also getting booked against Villarreal on the same day - a player who has now left...

I suppose the most similar thing I can think of was when the Pakistani cricketers were deliberately bowling no-balls, they got bans of between 5 and 10 years, but also prison sentences of between 6 months and 2 yrs 8 months. So could get pretty serious for the guy

I I've oft thought of doing that analysis, but assumed would have to break it down into seasons or periods - surely no way did we have a 2 - 0.7 goal differential over his whole tenure

duplicata.....

I think if we actually do reappoint him there will be a million new threads and I reckon I'll want to stay well away from NSC if that happens :ROFLMAO:

I'm for it, but I've written enough on the other threads. There was even a Potter thread which then got merged into the 'Who do you want as new manager' Thread, so this one should probably get merged too. The Mckenna thread has become a Potter discussion and that should be merged with the new...

I think 1-5 are easy and 6 is ultimately irrelevant. In the end he went with TB's blessing. You can't listen to the club's comments about not changing our policy on recruitment and spending, the comments about allowing players and managers to further their careers elsewhere, without concluding...

Anything can be spun though. You don't like Potter and see this as a reason not to employ Potter. Whereas I see it as a reason to employ, he's already built a great midfield out of raw pieces and can do so again, none of Bissouma, Caicedo, Mac Allister had any decent experience prior to being...

See, I never got the problem with that quote. I just interpreted it as him saying that it was hard at Chelsea because of all the new players and starting from scratch, but he was trying to convince their fans that he was up to the job. Whereas at Brighton he had already got the team playing...

Yeah sure, it did cross my mind. But, its the England job. Every English manager should take it if offered. I can live with that.

I think Tony Bloom deserves more respect than that, but if this is what happens then I guess Potter will be a failure and we get relegated. Shame.

Well, he probably wouldn't (a) be offered a top job after what happened at Chelsea, and (b) less likely to want to leave again. To be honest this is one of the biggest things this appointment would have going for it. For the whole of the last 18 months to a year of Potter we had these rumours -...

I'll try and get one of the season tickets being thrown away then. I'm all-in for this, I think it makes sense on so many levels. Was furious when he left, but that was ages ago now, I'm over it and he's had his come-uppance, both in the 4-1 thrashing, his sacking and RDZ getting 6th place...

Well, it is ridiculous that there is so little representation in parliament for quite so many people. In 2019 the Green's got 1 MP for every 866,000 votes. The DUP got 1 MP for every 23,000 votes. The Tories got 1 MP for every 34,000 votes but the Libdems needed ten times as many voters for each...

They took around 11% of the vote in the recent local elections in areas where they were standing - thats substantive and took place in a first past the post system, it would be higher in a full PR election.

I would be genuinely interested to see what the result might be if we had full PR - in that case Reform could smash the Tories. On second thoughts maybe its a good thing we don't and the Tories are there as a home for the reasonable right-of-centre people

LibDem, because of the constituency (St Ives). Pretty confident he'll take the Tory out, although will be one of the last to declare because they have to ship the votes over from the Scilly's

Guess the theory is, 'Run Chelsea exactly like Brighton, except with more money'. Could work :)
