[Albion] If Potter hadn’t left

[Lenny Rider]

Some of us saw GPs limitations but always got shouted down by those who thought he was some sort of coaching god! If GP was still here we would have no European tour and scored a lot less goals. We would have had quite a few dull games when we should have won and his fans would have spouted on about XG!
The best thing the overrated Brummie did was make us £20 mil and f*** of to Chelsea to prove he was all lot of hype!

I’m not sure there‘s been a manager whose polarised opinions of the Albion support to the extent he did, as good as he was doing, there were many who clearly weren’t Potterists myself included.

22 goals and 7 wins in his last 10 games. We were doing alright when he left.

No question at all - he found a team which was outstanding but the tools were provided to him and it would have been more notable had he still failed to win games despite the talent in that team. It ended a lot better than it went for the first 3/4s.

Wouldn't you agree that goals flowed sooner for RDZ than for Potter? We were only a threat under him in that final run of games. RDZ got us scoring goals much quicker and has sustained it. We're unbelievable now and in my opinion, we have reached a far higher perch than Potter could have dreamed of.

Absolutely nobody is disagreeing with that.

Best thing he did for us.
