*Sucks in teeth*

The fact they've seemingly put his head on Wayne Rooney's body adds a certain je ne sais quoi.
They’ll spend literally £100m’s on proven stars of the Qatar WC, adding to the £225m blown last summer, then we’ll be told that Potter has turned the situation around. That’s not coaching. It cheque book cheating, something The Chavs started.

Potter is joint 4th favourite to be next managerial sacking, in a number of managers at 16/1 including Conte and Rogers.

From the Shed End Chelsea forum. They aren't happy bunnies.

City in the cup.
Fulham, Palace, Liverpool, Fulham, West Ham.
Dortmund first leg CL.
Lose the cup games and don't get at least 9 points in those league games and I think he's out. Massive few weeks.
In fact, the Fulham games are massive. If they lose both those ooof.

It is what it is, what it is, what it is.

Could be a song in there
"What it is is what it is
You're what you are or what?
What it is is what it is

You're what you are, or?"

 


Either way, I wanted City to win that. It's so pleasing seeing Potter struggle. He needs time of course, because we all know he's a great manager, when he gets the right support, but, he's made an error going there if he wants time. Like I give a f*** anyway. Shit club with a **** for a manager. Cucu can do one too and I cannot wait for us to shout bollocks at them all again later this season.

This.

It came good from the Emirates April 2022, onwards.

Before that we rarely won at the Amex, long goalless runs.

He revolutionised us into playing far better football, there were famous thrashings of Spurs and Manure, landmark away wins, but it was not 3.1 seasons of glory.
Yeah, what a shit manager eh? Brighton and Hove Albion back in the top division for the first time in well over 30 years and no glory!

Fecking useless wasn't he :rolleyes:

Enough to cover our full fan demographic surely? I’ve been on the Roar many times and I’m good mates with all of them, but I’m self aware enough to know we cover an older, white, liberal demographic here, plus our many ex pats
Even me personally going on the seagulls occasionally, I get recognised from it, it has a very decent following

I feared for the future when Potter departed. Imo he was a very good coach who took us a long way forward from the mind numbing (albeit practical and necessary) defensive regime under CH. At the same time, Potter was frustrating and seemed unable to change possession statistics into goals and results. For me, it is early days under RDZ, but I love his passion, his willingness to take risks, his desire to get forward quickly and the way he is pushing our fledgling talent into the deep end. Potter ticked a number of boxes, but there was a beigeness about him. RDZ is writing the script in glorious technicolour and I love it.

I had a quite sudden and unexpected spasm of hatred toward Potter earlier, and would now quite like to see him slip over in his managers area and land straight on his stupid little face.
Same here, I was always a supporter of his and was confident to be patient as I could see the gradual development of the style of play and was pretty sure the results would come. I knew we would lose him at some point and always thought I would follow his career with interest and appreciation for what he did for the club. After he screwed us over the only reason I now give a shit about his career, is to see him f*** up. For what its worth IF Chelsea are as patient as we were I think they will do well under the prick.

Things that are already noticeable at Chelsea:

  • Not scoring enough
  • Fans shouting “shooot”
  • Muscle injuries
???
1. Goal scoring was a problem in Brighton until the team got better and it stopped being a problem.
2. Brighton had 7 most shots per game last season. People don't understand the game though so they want defenders to hof it, chip Solly March and shoot from impossible positions.
3. No more muscle injuries for Brighton than most teams.

Overlooking these facts, you may have some sort of point :shrug:

The bloke literally had six good months in three years results wise and left immediately. He finished lower with Swansea than Steve Cooper and now has Chelsea in 10th. He’s a fraud
Completely switching position in the "GP is a fraud vs GP is a good manager" for the fourth time. Must be easy to always follow the direction of the wind.
