[Albion] Graham Potter joins on four-year deal

[Frankworthington]

Why would anyone be in the Potter out brigade at the moment? In fact why even post this?

Because even after beating Spurs and Liverpool away last season there were still people slagging him off

He has had to change to a different style of play with a limited budget

I said at the start of the season a top ten finish is a possibility

 

[Weststander]

blimey, he's really quite defensive, isn't he?

It’s a very human (and male?) trait, it is hard to say “Hands up, I judged Potter too early and was completely wrong”.

Pride.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

They’re thanking their lucky stars Vagabond is banned and not bouncing all their posts

Why is Vagabond banned?

the sooner it's done, the easier it is

 

[Icy Gull]

and indeed, why even post this? i guess you were a potter-outer?

He has also commented that the atmosphere from his stream was a bit shit today, yeah he’s a Potter outer biding his time

 

[Weststander]

The binary world of social media including nsc makes it worse.

Some posters emphatically and relentlessly hung their hats on the “Lower League Potter, a loser from Swedish football, get out of my club” stance.

It’s also a great attribute, especially as a male, to be able to do the opposite. And the GREATEST thing to be wrong about is something like this - someone to do with the Albion doing far better than you predicted or thought. Absolutely make me be wrong all day long if I ever think a player or manager isn’t good enough - I’d like to be posting an addition of getting that wrong!!!!

On another thread I Christened him 'Desperate' for purposes of low comedy (a pleasing alternative to unpleasantry, albeit I'm not entirely consistent in my stance. Ahem). I hadn't realised this (posting claptrap) has become a context-disassociated personal contagion. Anyway, doesn't affect me, given that I (you can guess the rest).

Zero defensiveness here. When we were shocking last season I wanted him out as our results were abysmal and my opinion was someone could do a better job and when we improved I said I was happy he’d turned it around and started an actual thread on here to admit that.

Kinda smashes your too hard theory to smithereens along with all the other hyenas jumping in.

My ego has no problems in allowing me to change my mind if evidence shows it should.

I just don’t understand why anyone would dredge up childish nonsense and old arguments that caused so much conflict on here that could only possibly create new division in the fan base. When we are doing so well and obviously every Brighton fan would be delighted. Why look for division when we need unity? It’s all very Vagabond. Maybe that guy is vagabond? Kinda weird you lot jumping on this too. Fragile egos need stroking

why weren't you thinking about unity when you were demanding potter out. when the going gets tough...................................

 

[Solid at the back]

I was a strong Potter out, one of the first too join the club. Can only see him leaving for City when Peps contract expires. I was wrong (very, very rare for that to be the case) - but sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up and admit it. We've got a real gem here. Shame the board let him down by not signing a number 9 though.

I am NOT Vagabond and do not need my ego stroking

I spent most of last season reading anti-Potter gibberish from the likes of you and you talk about unity!!

If you do not like my opinions,put me on ignore!!!

I guess you'll have to ask Tom

Agreed. Hyypia never came with a 4 man entourage all sucking off the TB teat. Silly Benny even comes with a recruitment guy. Wonder what THAT guy does all day to earn his pay?

Guy's a complete mediocrity. File under 'Hyypiä'

Top work Shane Duffy!

And no, Big Shane's not suddenly become a New Man Who Knits His Own Organic Muesli. Bloke was never going to change. He's not capable of doing so - for which we'll be very very grateful this season. DunkDuffy was NEVER a busted flush. Farming him out to TheNaughtyChair=Celtic was a major managerial mistake. Probably on a par with never giving Andone any kind of chance to demonstrate he still does what he's always done on the pitch. Pretty frustrating that it's My Emotional Intelligence Way Or The Highway. Schoolboy manager errors right there

Perhaps you are wrong More than you care to admit to ?

Not sure - I’d imagine [MENTION=4675]Frutos[/MENTION] or [MENTION=600]Bry Nylon[/MENTION] etc will be able to tell us. Certainly hasn’t been around since his ‘short ban’..?

THPP - It's all gone quiet over there....

His relentless anti Potter is as annoying as Vagabonds relentless brown nosing.

Personally I think GPott is turning into one of the best PL managers (Pep and Kipperty agree) but he's by far from the unfinished article and will /has made mistakes.

But the football is exciting to watch and we nearly always look like we can get a result since probably about the Wolves 2nd half last season. This season has been fecking brilliant so far.

I think he’s a bit of a troll type poster after people quoting him and arguing the obvious against his points - that’s my view now - I don’t bother to do it anymore
