Credit for transforming the playing style, Credit for the tactical flexibility, he is a good coach. But he really did have a very good squad when he got us to 9th, we have since sold half a dozen of them to big 6 clubs.
Based on what?

Would anyone really be surprised if this happened though? Really?

He's the sort of bloke that would come back, just start to smooth over the fans, then leave us in the lurch for England.

And if you discount the games Caicedo played in, his record was poor. And without Caicedo, he still had midfielders Bissouma, Gross, Mac Allister, Mwepu, Lallana, and Moder. We will be lucky to have such good midfield options again, the defence wasn't too shabby either, just a bit weak up top. Still, Welbeck and Trossard are not mugs.

If Potter returns we will have a disgruntled Mitoma, Adingra, Osman & March not sure how that even works.

Oh no not the dreaded promise of 5 signings in a single window, have we got Shane McFaul on standby in case we need to get the 5th over the line late in the window?
Potter hates wingers anyway so we’d probably just flog them

He didn't have Mitoma, Adingra and Osman available! He adapted to the players he had - like playing for one season with three at the back when we had Ben White, but otherwise usually a back four.

All well and good. But you've been proper weird on this thread; sycophantic levels of praise and some off your nut delusion that we want him, he wants us, he will come and he will be the second coming of christ when he does. If i had to guess, its a troll. But there may be someone who believes what you say you do.
Regardless, you're not a barometer for how anyone else feels.
Have a think.
He had Mitoma, but never started with him.
He brought him on vs Newcastle, and he spent 10 minutes humiliating Trippier
Totally wouldn't be surprised.
I expect a Hinshelwood summer where we wait until after the international tournament before appointing a manager.... followed by doom the following season.
Much of this was due to Potter developing those players if you think about it.

Given that Talk Sport are reporting today that Potter is merely an "outside contender" for the Albion job, and that he's holding out for the England job (if Southgate steps down after the Euros - this really makes his return remote at best and thankfully (you'd hope) puts an end to this thread. I'm exhausted ha ha.

Graham Potter would be a contender to become England manager if Gareth Southgate stands down after the Euros, talkSPORT understands. Potter, who is believed to have recently split with long-term ag…

He played Sterling as WB where he looked completely lost which was reasonably amusing.

He’s not coming back, he never was, he never will be, nor should he - it’d be retrogressive for all parties… it defies logic, it’s an appointment that would be considered a marker that our model is broken, and there’s no way in hell PB & TB will want any hint of that in the media.
We’re a forward thinking data driven club, and GPs stats in his last job were average at best… the data says no and he’s been out of work (in footballing terms) for getting on for Curbishley levels of ‘he won’t be back’ ism.
He’s a useful smokescreen though.
Yep, this thread is a joke (apart from those saying it won’t happen) the whole concept is laughable - especially when you consider the egos at play… I mean really ? Seriously?
lol whatever.
Carry on though, because when the actual appointment is announced there’s going to be some rather ‘surprised’ looking people sat behind their laptops… agog, aghast

A useful smoke screen for the club as they get on with appointing someone completely different.
