Are you from Ipswich perchance?A good Potter flag would be "Please someone make him an offer"...

Yeah fair enough, I just think some of the stuff before that was poorly translated and people were going a bit mental over it.It was the comments after Roma until a couple of weeks before the end of the season that I was alluding to, when I assumed he had had a talking to because he then went more upbeat and our performances improved. Real shame as I think, with a less volatile ego he could have taken us even further
How is manager who hasn’t got an English side higher than 9th in a division great and magnificent? Looks like his ceiling is mid table.Despite this bizarre resentfulness a majority of Brighton fans seem to have against Potter, he is by far the best remaining candidate for the job (that we know about).
He is a great manager and would be a magnificent appointment.

You keep saying he’s great with no actual evidence of the perceived greatness.
The league table never lies 11th finish for Swansea and a 9th for us which with different results on the day could have easily been a 14th place finish.He has a great record at every club he has managed, including here, with the exception of Chelsea (but it would be more than reasonable to ignore anything that happens at that shit show of a club).
Great manager?! On what basis?Despite this bizarre resentfulness a majority of Brighton fans seem to have against Potter, he is by far the best remaining candidate for the job (that we know about).

Not sure that’s a great record if you think it is then fine. Not for me though.

If our next manager gets us to a 9th. placed finish, I'll be well pleased (even if it 'could have been 14th'. whatever ..................................)The league table never lies 11th finish for Swansea and a 9th for us which with different results on the day could have easily been a 14th place finish.

On the flip side think of what that mass departure brought us - 20 months of pure excitement and pride (okay 18 months) I don't see Potter as a risk whereas some of those in the betting fill me with dreadYeah let's bring back a fella who royally shafted us took all our staff and described us as " the easy option ". Great plan
Too true. Fortunately, I didn’t go to this seasons encounter so not as painful on the memory bank.How did we get on this season at Fulham BTW?
How were our tactics that day?
Bit of hyperbole at the end, but generally I agree, yes, he did a good job and was a very good fit for us. When he left us, apart from the manner of his leaving the big disappointment was that he seemed to have a project here, a long term project in fact, which was showing every sign of coming to fruition. If he did return, essentially to carry on where he left off, there could be a lot worse outcomes.Where were we when he took over and where were we when he left us?
He did a remarkable job here.
He developed many young players into some of the greatest talents the club has ever had.
He would continue to push us on in the same manner, should he return.
He is absolutely perfect for our club and ambitions.
A great manager who is determined to continually improve, both his team and his own ability.
I second all this, a balanced view. I would be ok with this appointment should it happen.Where were we when he took over and where were we when he left us?

Yep, if we are going for anyone on the betting lists I feel the same. Gallardo is the only one that makes me think YES but I fear we are a bit small time for what he would acceptOn the flip side think of what that mass departure brought us - 20 months of pure excitement and pride (okay 18 months) I don't see Potter as a risk whereas some of those in the betting fill me with dread
And then f*** off again taking everyone but the tea lady with him.Where were we when he took over and where were we when he left us?

If we manage to get a top tier manager that DOESN'T go off to bigger clubs with bigger wages then it would be a once in a lifetime miracle.And then f*** off again taking everyone but the tea lady either him.
As I showed on another thread, 8th-10th is about our ceiling. The 6th place finish was a one-off looking at things from a crude neutral perspective (and had Villa turned things round a match earlier, Chelsea not be in the basket, and Tottenham not screwed up their run in it would have been lower)How is manager who hasn’t got an English side higher than 9th in a division great and magnificent?
