He was great for us - some of the football we played under his management was breathtaking. But he has a typical Latin temperament - he's a ticking time bomb waiting to go off if he is not backed with money. Under his tutelage we attracted some great players and played brilliantly at times -...
Well in a way we have. Potter is more used to poaching from the lower leagues so will be more used to that standard - there are some exceptional players in Europe's lower leagues (and I include the UK in that ). Far better to spend a couple of million on someone from a lower standard rather than...
I am really looking forward to next season.
I don't think there will be a massive change in personnel as I think Potter has been brought in to get the best out of what we already have. I look forward to him using the academy players too as I think that may have been part of his brief - to get...
I've got wildly eclectic tastes - the only stuff I cannot abide is modern jazz and rap as I like melody ! The last few albums I've bought are a bundle of albums by Transglobal Underground, a live Caravan album, "Grand Tour" by Big Big Train, a box set of all the Ten albums and the latest side...
I take your point that record sleeves are a lot easier to decipher than the tiny print that fits on to the CD information that we get. Personally I am unlikely to buy music that's only available on vinyl - the sort of bands/artists I listen to are unlikely to only issue stuff on vinyl !
Really sorry to hear of your plight mate
Had to have my black lab put to sleep a few years back and there's not a day goes by without my thinking about him.
I agree - personally I think the current "back to vinyl" trend is a massive can. People are being encouraged to buy music for sometimes the sixth time having bought it first on vinyl, then cassette, then CD, then minidisc, MP3 and now vinyl again.IMHO I think it's just a big marketing exercise...
I read somewhere (and I have no idea how true it is) that someone had seen shots of our new kit and it was basically the same as this year but the red bits were to be replaced with yellow and/or gold. The away shirt ia allegedly an all blue affair. It'll probably be released three days before...
I agree entirely with this - I think we'll start to see the best of both of these players next season. It takes a year or so for players to get acclimatised if they've come from a lower league. Playing with a little more freedom and in the right position for each of them under a new manager...
I don't want Phil Neville although I think it could be heading that way given Ashworth's previous dalliances with him at England level.
Although having said that Neville has been good with the kids for England.
Apart from all that's been said on here I know nothing about Potter but after reading...
Thanks to Chris Hughton - never flustered (even though he must have been seething inside sometimes), always patient and, above all, a real gentleman.
Think we will be a sadder club without him at the helm - his like does not come around too often.
