We'll never know whether if it was A.N.Other manager who took over from Chris Hughton instead of Potter whether he'd have turned the ship around far quicker with the wealth of talent at his disposal. Personally I reckon Potter's input was fairly incidental to the turnaround
Well no, we certainly never expected anything else from you!
Or that if A.N.Other wouldn't have taken Potter's team and still finished 6th. Such is the world of hypotheticals.
I think you just have people that take a dislike to someone, whether a player or manager, and no matter what happens, they can't get passed that.Well no, we certainly never expected anything else from you!
We'll all be watching his next appointment - assuming he even wants one - with great interest
You'll be watching with great interest because you're looking for your opinion to be confirmed. Most of us won't be showing great interest because what he did here is done, what he does next is really neither here nor there.
Really? Seems to generate a load of threads and endless dialogue. You might be a minority there. Nevermind, each to their own
Potter is part of our history, so quite happily post about his time here all day long. A great interest in where and what he does next - not so much.
Quite a decent achievement CH keeping us in the PL for two seasons with 90% of a championship squad. Or rather would you have us done a Burnley giving it a go and getting smashed most weeks.
It’s two contrastingly different styles, both pass out from the back and that’s where it ends. RDZ plays with wingers & prefers a four, Potter was down the middle and preferred a three.
What a load of bollocks, RDZ came into a team that had finally clicked. Finishing 9th after several seasons of relegation battles not to mention the turnaround when football started again after the shutdown was a major turning point. Sure RDZ shifted things up a gear, but to accuse Potter of not achieving much is bloody absurd.
I don’t know why you have quoted me, as it doesn’t relate with what I have said. But, I agree that CH did an incredible job in getting Brighton to the top division and keeping us in the PL for two seasons.
From Hughton to Potter to RDZ we've progressed. All served the club well. At the end of the day, we sacked Hughton who was keen to stay, Potter went when we were keen to keep him. What RDZ does remains to be seen.
I think Potter's turnaround was nothing short of remarkable. He completely changed the way we played, and whilst many point to the lack of goals for much of his spell there were very good signs that was improving.
Yes, it certainly will be interesting to see how RDZ copes with taking over a basket case club, with vastly over-entitled and overpaid players.
Completely missing the point. The difference is that taking over a successful team, that is absolutely buzzing, in a brilliantly run and stable club, is an amazing start for any manager. Most new managers take over a team that's gone wrong, not one that the previous manager has already got flying!
I'm quite interested, I'm looking forward to booing him again, he loves that.
