[Albion] Graham Potter joins on four-year deal

[saafend_seagull]

Even if he isn’t appointed the next manager will be someone with a similar mentality and style. Bloom ain’t going to appoint an ABC manager.

Who will be up to the style ?

New right back for the defenders, rest is fine.

Bissouma, March, andone, propper, kayal, knockaert.

Don’t think the rest will be up to it with fast tempo.

If you think Hughton is 'old school' - have a read - thoughtful, intelligent and a 'thirst for knowledge'

I wouldn't argue with that but you can be all those things and still old school. Old school in footballing terms could be using a philosophy from just 10 years ago

 

[Nottseagull]

Has he got his badges though?

Now you're trying to make out you meant he didn’t know enough about the playing side to be a professional manager.

Might be needing at least one more Central Defender if 3 at the back is one of the ways he plays.

No. I'm just making the point that TB has demonstrated that he needed to employ technical director so I am not really sure what point you are trying to make. Bloom is not a football Guru but he employs people with greater knowledge in their field.

 

[GT49er]

how about pragmatic?

Yes, perhaps we should try that ........................

Ben White, perhaps.

Now many will laugh at this but Stephens played so deep last season could he play the sweeper role in a three?

Thought that was Murray?

 

[Ernest]

We should get someone to stand on the M4 to let us KNOW when he’s on his WAY

More will laugh at this:

In a 3-4-2–1, Potter might want two wing backs. Could Suttner & Schelotto be our Jonny & Docherty?

I live 5 mins from the M4 what his car and reg number? There a bridge crossing the motorway where I take a look.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Has to be a Volvo, shirley?

OK so I am on the lookout for a skinny fella, with a slightly suspect hair cut, driving a Volvo. I’m on it

I'll never forget driving across the M62 to Manchester back in the early 90's. Lovely brand new sky blue 3-Series Coupe in the middle lane looking super smart and expensive, ambling along, and I go cruising past it, clocking what was clearly a chick with shoulder length blonde-ish hair driving...

Upon closer inspection, I notice a distinct lack of jaw, a protruding hooter, and a set of teeth that could eat an apple through a letterbox.

It was Helen Worth - aka Gail Tilsley, off corrie.

Anyway... we digress.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

indeed. who do you think he was addressing; himself, the players, TB, the media, us?
i was also baffled

These are a good side....

 

[FatSuperman]

On the train home this evening I had a browse of the Swansea forum, to see whether they were bothered about the links with Potter. Nothing much to report apart from one wag, who declared

"We should do a straight swap, Potter for Dunk & Duffy"

Mirth!

 

[Albion my Albion]

under Potter the Albion will end up relegated.......................something that never happened to Hughton's Albion.

why? and we most certainly wouldve been relegated under hughton had he carried on

Pffft you are as bad as the poster you were replying to.....neither of you know what the future holds or would have held....and to be frank it matters not ...we are where we are ....and neither of them are our manager currently
