Whilst it would be preferable if there were no financial doping from outside the game, it would really leave us with a big 4, which is less competetive than a big 7. I believe we and others will break the stranglehold those few clubs have on all the silverware eventually though. There are too...
No, I undertsand. I was telling the other muppet that Tony did have to let Chelsea talk to Potter, because there was a release clause in his contract. I did bold the part of his statement I was referencing, but because he had used shouty text after it, it wasn't obvious, so I will forgive you...
There was lots to like about Potter, but he is not the Messiah, he needed to go to make way for the Messiah, who is on their way here as we wait patiently for their announcement.
If you take the game in isolation. During a game, I rarely groan at the first missed chance, or the second, but after the 6th or 7th it gets hard to take, now imagine you have not won for 8 games but bossed the last 3 home games and drawn them all. Human nature.
Let it go Swanny, Potter has left for the next level up and we are all a bit pissed off about the gutting of our club so that he can get there without taking us with him, and doing it for entitled Chelsea twunts that I doubt you have to live next door to, as I do.
I was frustrated by yet another...
All his previous jobs he has been battling the odds to succeed, and has done over time. This time he has a squad that is 2nd or 3rd in the country on talent in the squad, so even finishing 4th is a bit shit. He won't get sacked for a 4th placed finish this season, but he might do next season, if...
Poyet came alone, first management job, was given Charlie to work with and they gelled. Potter is dragging around his assistants from his first job too, he didn't bring anyone that was at Swansea from before he got there, but it was a shorter period of time.
Kyle Macauley, was responsible for a lot of Ostersunds signings that propelled them up the leagues, I think his role here was more to do with Potter trusting his judgement on players our recruitment guys identified. I believe Matt Clarke was one of his though, identified as a target for Swansea...
I think for the sake of football, it would be best if Chelsea results gradually worsened over the coming months to the point where they are in the lower half of the table, and finish there, this is the big 6 version of relegation. Then we will see how committed Chelsea are to a long term...
