I was arguing that he had more experience than either Hurzeler or Rydstrom when he was appointed. The performances against Arsenal and Man City were flashpoints that's all.

We must be confident. I doubt Matt Law sniffed this out all by himself.

So he's taken a team from the bottom of the second tier into the first tier. He's the German Steve Cooper

Fair argument. Feels like similar backstories, young hungry to learn coaches who have cut their teeth through various levels rather than coming straight from the big leagues. Probably more similar than anything which would explain the interest

And yet here you were a year ago accurately predicting that RDZ would leave and suggesting, not Potter but 'someone without a big profile'.
It's amazing that between an inexperienced 31-year old coach (who has less experience than GP when he was appointed) and an infinitely more experienced GP now, fans will opt for the former out of pride even if it's a massive gamble. Nice one lads!

Yep- Hürzeler came over in January to ‘study’ our football - watched 2 Brighton games including Spurs and named Pep, Arteta and De Zerbi as his main inspirations - except he plays his own style ( not imitating)

Wow, you had to look that one up too!And yet here you were a year ago accurately predicting that RDZ would leave and suggesting, not Potter but 'someone without a big profile'.
Rosenior has infinitely more experience of English football than Hurzeler or Rydstrom. But if it would make you happier, since he's been sacked by Hull, no, I don't think he'd be a good candidate.
Any appointment from the list of candidates is in truth, a backwards step from De Zerbi and Potter (including Potter himself). So we're now in a position of picking the least worse option.
Because a) never go back b) never go back when you left under the circumstances GP did and c) this would be an exciting appointment that could be amazing or an absolute disaster which is WAY more fun.
By that logic you might as well give the job to the guy that bought my ST when I listed in the exchange last season.
At this point... i'm fully onboard with this.

Its exciting unknown foreign manager with a funky name time! Someone above said hes the German Steve Cooper - but with a fraction of the experience of Cooper - but everyone is way more excited about this guy! Logic and reason be damned!
I guess the thing with unknowns is that there's always the slight possibility we could be unearthing the next Guardiola, whereas we know that Cooper and Potter don't have that ceiling - and English managers just aren't as exciting full stop. But of course the risk is huge too.
By yours we might as well give it to Roy Hodgson.
Mr N Warnock?

Reminds me very much like RDZ appointment- club says nothing names are linked and are allegedly close to signing then out the blue RDZ is in and he’s been only person we have ever spoken to.
How so?
