I think we'll keep him even if we go down.
But it would be one of the most ridiculous relegations ever. We shouldn't be anywhere near it, and all those points we left out on the field after dominating games (maybe as many as 12) are - as they always were going to - coming back to haunt us.
One win in 9 is just nowhere near good enough, you stay up by winning the games you have to when you can. We have had those chances, and we haven't got it done.
I always though this run of 6 we are currently in would be season-defining. So far we are played 3, 1 point. With the horror run coming up from March for 6 weeks or more, we need to win at least 2 of the next 3.

Yes. Simply because at Swansea City, in the second division, he was very highly regarded with what he had.
If you look at how often the manager's of clubs are rotated and how, over time, it makes such little difference to many, it's good to have continuity.
Anyway. we are not in the bottom three yet.

As he’d still have 5 years to run on his contract I’d say yes.
Given the contract we've given him for a few games of nice football in the autumn we wouldn't have an option

How soon is now?
What bothers me is that last season there were only 3 teams, possibly even 2 that were worse than us and we stayed up. This season there are a number of teams worse than us, but our inability to see games out, also defend set pieces(apparently Swansea conceded most goals from corners last season in the Championship) and ultimately create enough solid chances for our strikers to score could seriously be our undoing. Potter will be retained either way, but he’s making mistakes that perhaps he shouldn’t be

Depends on how we fair if we go down. Bottom 6-8 early doors can see him exiting stage right

No wind up - he’s on a 6yr contract
Yes. He’s not the problem or reason we’re now sucked into this mess.
If we go down, potter stays and we rebuild, maybe this is part of the TB reserve plan? He's probably got a wager on it somewhere.
I really don't know any more. And I'm trying not to give a flying **** either.
Regardless it's still better then golf, egg chasing ,or F1.

When we get relegated, not if, he should go as he will not bring us back up. We are a worse team than this time last year with expensive buys who have proved to be not good enough.
