Yeah, the way I will deal with it is to feel less passionate about the club, thought that was clear.

Do we stand in anyones way if the fee matches or exceeds the club valuation?

If they did, they wouldn't come for him during a season, which was always the major problem with his departure. Chelsea won't give a f***, might even see it as an added benefit to screw a rival over whilst getting an upgrade.

If Potter is to come back, the emotional gymnastics I will have to go through to turn up and not boo the **** will inevitably make me lose some passion for the club. I had this with Micky Adams return, and I loved Micky Adams, but felt Dick Knight had shafted Wendy Wilkins to do it. For me...

If I was PB, and had decided to appoint Potter, it would definitely not be announced out of the blue. It would be rumoured, have fans think about it, argue about it, work out some of their angst about it, and then spend a couple of weeks trying to write a smoothing things over...

We all understand, but it's an emotional response, not a reasoned one. If we were all rational and unemotional about the club, there wouldn't be a club.

It was Maldera and the Goalkeeper coach I was thinking might be retained, I know they were De Zerbi appointments, but they were not in his staff at Shaktar, or anywhere else, as far as I am aware.

Thanks, I guess I already knew that, but I wondered if anyone knew if any of them had expressed a desire to stay, but the decision depends on the new coach?

I have wondered how this separation of De Zerbi and BHAFC works for all the coaches, is there a possibility any of them remain if the new man wants them, or are they definitely all gone?

He's a Ginger, so should be in the Scotland team.

I didn't like John Barnes playing for England, because he is Jamaican by birth, but given he came here as a 12 year old, a bit of a grey area. Didn't like Lamb and Pieterson playing Cricket for England more, or Zola Bud running as a GB athlete. Should be more Gingers in the Scotland squad though.

I hope your window cleaner isn't Fabrizio Romano.

Yeah, but the difference is, you are.

No, we will be pushing Arsenal for the title, after City get deducted 40 points and Liverpool fail to click with their new manager, Chelsea man quits because of interference, Spurs with Ange are found out and Man utd new ownership try and cut costs by selling big earners off. The best thing...

Seems you can't say what you like about Potter, not without yourself or Han Swansman telling you you're wrong. It would be magnificent if he stays away from us, holds out for the England job, and loses out on that to Eddie Howe.

I stand corrected. Still, would be an easier life for him to stay away from here. Might be good practice for living with a large amount of hate from your own supporters, if he fancies the England job though.

Truthfully, it would not be an "easy life" choice to come back here. This time, the easy life option is to stay at home and keep taking Chelseas money.

I am quite confident that Potter would unite the fans pretty quickly, and within a couple of months absolutely everyone would want the **** gone.

We have no idea who will be enquired after, but I am fairly sure Scott Parker and OGS won't be. One not on the list but an outside possibility, because of playing style and achievement, is Wilfried Nancy. But like his compatriot, Eric Roy, a gamble in terms of experience, but even more so. Both...

Just read an old piece on him from when he joined Watford, sounds like a Nice chap. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1457500/2019/12/13/watford-bring-in-eric-roy-as-sporting-director-to-help-keep-the-squad-happy/
