Rewriting history a bit there mate. Utterly bizarre.

Quote THREE 'digs' at us he made while he was here, so that we can assess them and realise that he didn't just spit on our grandparents graves.

In addition, leaving for a top 6 team offering him five times the wage and ten times the transfer budget is hardly 'flutting their eye lashes'. It's literally making him an offer that ANY manager in his position would take.
He didn't need to come back and gut the club though. There is no way he didn't advise the Chelsea hierarchy of other key members of staff in our setup.

The fact that there are ANY digs is sufficient. We’re the fans who stick with the club, he’s a here today, gone tomorrow caretaker. How dare he presume to be better informed about our club than us?

How are people setting fire to a digital ticket? I’ve seen about three people suggest they are going to cancel it.
I believe some are trying to find ways of printing their season tickets and burning them at the stadium :lolol:

Of course, it is all myth.

The only one I can recall is "I think I need a history lesson'", which, to be honest, didn't really offend me in the slightest... perhaps I just have thick skin.

1. First and foremost that wasn't the starting point. We're not better/more promising than we were in 2021, but we're certainly better/more promising than when Potter took over back in 2019.

2. Not many in here at the time thought that Burn and Maupay was anything but horseshit so bringing them up now is quite funny.

3. The team was indeed excellent and performed amazingly well, which is why its the best ever Albion team (61 pts) according to metrics (expected points) that you may not give a shit but that Tony most certainly found very impressive and knew eventually would result in... well, results. Thats how expected points usually work out over time with a young squad if you develop it well. Probably going to be the same now - If things work out as they should, we should get ca 55 points next season.

4. Many of these players were young and not who they are today. Thats the thing with player development, something that seems to awfully difficult to understand. Mac Allister in 2020 was a skinny lad who would disappear from games. From the beginning of 2022, the Everton game, he was a man ready to carry. Things take time.

5. Thats 15 yeah, and when we go outside of those 15, and when we get those players is when we see why we're in a more promising seat now.
Now we just need to find a manager who is willing to help these players reach their potential. Preferably someone who doesn't make Ansu Fati look like Andi Zeqiri.
They were/are…… but the rest of them?

I’ll be glueing myself to the AMEX with a “Potter out” placard.

That’ll teach them! :angry:

I was at that game. There were a handful of people booing.
He just needed to state that it was a frustrating game and he understood fans frustration rather than his prickly response.
Roberto never turned on the fans.
Potter will know that he’s said things that he’ll fund it hard to withdraw. I just don’t think he’ll have the bottle to return.
