It's no wonder Potter is flying ahead when you stick him next to Phil Neville on a poll.

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 about him he sounds interesting
But neither of those have managed in the Premier League so we'd be taking a bit of a risk
One who has managed there is Rafa and if he were to bring Rondon and Shelvey with him I wouldn't be averse (though I'd have to stop yelling "fat Spanish waiter" at him) - but Rafa's wages would probably be prohibitive and, if he won't move down from the North as has been stated up above, that is a non starter too.
Just wish Tony would hurry up and get it done and then the new man has plenty of chances get acclimatised for the rest of the close season.

Any more info on why people would want Rafa? IMO which really matters to me, He's a poor me type manager who said at Newcastle many times if I'd been given the same budget as Man Utd we'd be able to compete (his words not mine).
So he's basically saying sorry we're not going to do very well on a 100 million player budget I want 200 million to start, he's correct of course, but that's how it is.
What we want is a manager who Can make us a better team with the budget provided not a defeatist mentality manager who overpraises the opposition mainly because he lacks confidence in his own squads ability to compete against them.
I'm not even sure I'd want him here with a massive budget that we won't have, if we had a choice of any manager we wanted I would drive smug Eddie here myself, say what you like about him but he ticks all my boxes.

Chris back,with a decent budget and a say in who to sign,instead of Dutch league rejects.
It's genuinely fascinating to speculate on how Gus would fare with our current set up now that we are in the Premier League. Sadly that well has been poisoned and we'll never know.

Not in my Capri Ghia he wouldn't

Not seen such Bravery!
I'll back him if he is in 100% within the next couple of weeks - starting his work on next season.Neville will be an interesting choice given that just ONE person has seen fit to vote for him. Will there be an outcry or will we all shrug our shoulders and back him, should he be the one
If he doesn't come in until July, it'll be a grand strategic error - and I can't sign up to supporting that.

It is all so underwhelming. Potter looks to have bottled it. Can't we have some fun in this dreadful Brexit world. Jose M or a wonderfully careless trio of Bruno/Calde/Rosenior? Indulge me....

You couldn't put him in a Capri. He'd lose it on the first wet roundabout and be facing back towards Brighton anyway....

Totally underwhelming! I don's see how any of our current choices are any better than Chris?

Please not Phil Neville (least he made the effort to vote for himself on here however). All those ex-Man Utd players seemed to be schooled in the Ferguson way of thinking and football has moved on from then. We can't go from Hughton to Neville.
