[Albion] Cold light of day - post Potter

[Muzzman]

As each day passes, I get more excited about the 'restart' in October. I was indifferent towards Potter at the time he left, but now that we seem to be getting our team in place, I'm more inclined to just thank GP and move on. I don't think throwing vitriol at Potter when he returns with Chelsea is particularly classy. I'm sure it will happen though and you can bet the media will be all over it like a tramp on chips.

It might, just might, be the best thing that could've happened. Potter has done a fabulous job no argument, but maybe someone with similar but slightly different ideas might just iron out some of the few issues remaining like the lack of goals while maintaining what we already have, that and the fact we are starting to see the fruits of the recruitment and youth strategies could mean real giddy heights lie ahead.



Of course DeZerbi could fall flat on his arse and the whole thing comes tumbling down, that's the beauty of football...

Sorry, I strongly disagree....

That is not the beauty of football, that is the disappointingly ugly side of football.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so this thread will have to do!

I have noticed on my pc home page which has all sorts of bits of news on it that Chelsea, Potter, Chelsea players, players opinions on Chelsea, Todd Boehly etc etc are pretty relentless

Loads of it passing opinion, suggesting player problems, fan problems, analysing and general Chelsea talk

It then dawned on me how GP used to talk about "the noise" around performances, good and bad was just noise and he ignored it

Now I get that he could ignore it when he was here because Albion are seldom more than a footnote in the national press apart from when we pull of surprises but surely all the "noise" he is getting now can't be ignored unless he never goes online

Made me wonder if being so much in the spotlight is something that may wear him down as he seems quite a private guy by nature to me?

Not worth a thread of it's own but I'll be interested to see how he copes with it, I assume he thought it through before he agreed to join Chelsea

Yes I know his bank balance and managing a CL club will probably help but he really is high profile now, with lots of noise around him.

Random thought over

Great to have you back icy
