[Football] Graham Potter - ruthless

[portslade seagull]

I agree it hurts... I guess this way we get to find out how well prepared we were for this absolute shit storm.

Clear decks and all that, sometimes it's the best way to recover... or not.

Is it possible he was secretly frustrated by our transfer window ?

It feels like things weren't quite a Rosy as it appeared - which is testament to the professionalism of everyone to be honest...

It's going to be a big few weeks for Lewis Dunk, I wanted to say that as he's going to need to gather a group built by GP and now bereft of all the staff they knew.... Christ, how must players like Gilmour, Enciso et al be feeling right now... ? it's not good.

Think he towed the party line with regards to strikers and being pleased with what he had. He can get who he wants now but some will have very big chips/ ego's, not sure he can handle that. Don't really care now

 

[Swansman]

Yes exactly that. I think I let out a light-hearted 'booo' at the end - not aimed at the team but just that we hadn't managed to win the game.

Ok... have you talked to anyone about this?

 

[Munkfish]

So you're saying that the booing was directed at no-one and merely a physical reaction connected to the frustration?

Funny, sometimes when I'm frustrated I sigh or similar but I've never let out a 'boo' directed at no-one.

I assume you were in the stadium and could sense the mood of the crowd that day?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Of course you'll be booing.

Booing Dale Stephens after 200 games in the club. Booing Ben White on his return. Booing the team after a 0-0 game against Leeds.

Maybe it is one of the reasons people seem so eager to leave.

Yeah maybe we should boo you and you'd **** off too.

You've got no idea because you are not emotionally invested, and every time there has been any boo's its been a tiny tiny minority. Still you won't acknowledge that because it doesn't fit into your narrative that we are crap fans, bullies and whatever numerous other ridiculous allegations you've made about life long Brighton fans in your 3 years here.

 

[METALMICKY]

And that's why our fans should be ruthless towards him when he comes back, we don't owe him shit anymore.

This with massive bells on! I'm bitter and I'm going to show it!

What is funny is how butt hurt Potter was by it, there are boos at the end of many games when fans are not happy, he will hear it at Chelsea.

It's shame you're the only c**t that has decided to stay!

As GP said after the game, there will be many games where there would be good reason to boo them but that wasn't one.

But yeah no doubt they'll boo in Chelsea as well. Cultural trait.

I think the demolition of our club management/coaching team shows the reason why he has been so successful at Brighton. He's ruthless. Not a shred of gratitude or acknowledgement of any relationship with Bloom for employing him and Barber for supporting him. He's not only taken all his own toys (Billy, Bjorn, Kyle), but ours too (fan favourites Bruno and Roberts). I presume Crofts, Greer and Weir weren't worth bothering about.

Quite clearly he won't hesitate to come back in January for some our stars too. Of course, I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Like a spurned lover taking everything he can from the end of a relationship. At least now, I can hope they all fail and we march on in to Europe.

You obviously haven't read his quotes then?!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

They all decided to go.

Mate. You need to wind your neck in for a bit. No one needs your smart arse point scoring right now. Real Brighton fans are hurting. Let us grieve in our own ways before you start telling us how to feel and behave.

 

[fosters headband]

Ruthless indeed. I expected him to take the people he brought in with him, but Bruno and Roberts? Jeez. It's like your girlfriend dumping you and then coming back to burgle your house.

Are there any Bruno murals left in Brighton? (I do believe that amateurish one in Ditchling Road has been painted over).

EDIT: It MUST have been discussed long before Tuchel was sacked. I can't believe Bruno and Roberts just turned their backs on the club at the drop of a hat. Or maybe I don't want to believe it.

This the edit
Something really smells here

This is one of the more pathetic, knee jerk threads I've seen on here, and I'm a long time lurker. Get a grip, all of you.

Anyone in a management position moving from one company to the next will take their best team with them. It being football means nothing as he's not from Brighton and wasn't a Brighton fan. We used him as much as he used us, and we gained a lot from that relationship. Personally I'm more gutted/concerned about Bruno and Roberts leaving than Potter, Reid and Bjorn, but they have a right to further their careers at a bigger club for more money as well.

I'm sure all of them leave with a heavy heart and will hold Brighton dear to their hearts, maybe even hoping to return one day, but you're embarrassingly blinkered if you think someone taking over the top job at a new gig wouldn't want their most trusted staff with them. He will be under great pressure from day 1 to make things work and needs his best crew with him.

We are all Brighton fans, but you all need to get a grip on reality and stop showing yourselves up.

Crofts, Greer and Weir aren’t part of the first team coaching setup, so there was no need to take them with him, and in Weirs case it would have been a bit strange. What’s Potter going to say “oh can I bring my boss with me too?”

It’s like some people have never seen a manager leave a club before.

I have never noticed a manager taking every single member of the first team coaching staff. Taking Roberts and Bruno as well is like coming back after giving us a kick in the nuts and sticking the boot in again imo. I understand they wanted to go with him but Potter really has raped and pillaged us very early in the season.

 

[Baldseagull]

Ok... have you talked to anyone about this?

Let it go Swanny, Potter has left for the next level up and we are all a bit pissed off about the gutting of our club so that he can get there without taking us with him, and doing it for entitled Chelsea twunts that I doubt you have to live next door to, as I do.
I was frustrated by yet another failure to score and win a game we really should have, it is bizzarre but if we had had our backs to the wall all game and defended stoutly for the point we would all have been happier.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

You are so tiresome. No-one 'booed' the team after Leeds. It was an expession of frustration at the result, not aimed at Potter or the team.

He doesn't know anything about this club.
Just scroll past any crap he posts it's far easier

Go and inhabit the Chelsea message boards please or set up some Potter loving one.

Off you pop. This is your new home

You follow a manager. He's gone. So can you. You will never understand this club and every post you've made in the last hour or so proves it.

Blimey, they're not too keen on that (admittedly poor) forum

 

[doogie004]

Booing Dale Stephens after 200 games in the club. Booing Ben White on his return. Booing the team after a 0-0 game against Leeds.

Maybe but I reckon it’s quadrupling his wages is the favourite

To think there were those on here who called him gormless.

The problem with those with high EI is they are indeed calculated, ruthless and will not upset the room until there’s no turning back.

Exactly. I bet Conte and Arteta have faced booing in their current jobs, in fact I heard it after the Albion stuffed them both at their stadia.

Barely a media mention.
