[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[Iggle Piggle]

Can't believe it's only a year ago he left. Feels like a lifetime. In Potters lingo we are operating at a completely different "les niveaux" since he's gone and we really should be extremely grateful for his part in the Chelsea shit show.

The trouble with GP is that he really needs a club that can punch above it weight with low expectations as portrayed by his history lesson comments. That doesn't offer much scope. Lyon certainly isn't it.

Lyon wouldn't be enough of a job to satisfy his ego.

I remain firmly convinced he's waiting for Everton. He'll want to prove everyone wrong and repair his reputation by finally bringing that madhouse of a club some success.

But he'll fail at that too.

His best bet would be to take them over when they go down.

Why put yourself through the pressures of managing a toxic skint club like Everton whilst sitting on a personal fortune? In affect without achieving anything significant in the game he’s took a top managers pay off, quite impressive really.

 

[Icy Gull]

Perhaps he's finally developing some sort of intelligence and realising that much of what he achieved was down to the environment he was in and the people at the club. He always used to bang on about it being a group/club effort and it wasnt just him but I think he's now realised that's true. When he jumped he thought it was all about him.

Chelsea must be payting him a fortune right now as a result of the sacking - he must have turned down so many opportunities. Or perhaps he'll become the next Alan Curbishley.

Exactly, he is drawing a wage and can be very choosy about where he goes next. Unfortunately I can’t think of another club with potential to make the top ten in the PL whilst having fans who won’t turn toxic after a run of defeats. There were plenty on here who did turn pretty toxic towards him too remember, although not at matches. It’ll take plenty of patience for him to turn any struggling club around and I’m not sure he’ll ever be offered a job of a bigger club not in disarray.

Agree, with a shiny new stadium to move in to.

Surely the expectations are high at the oldest club in the world?

As well as having to move to Merseyside of course...

Hilariously I just don't think there's another manager in the world that could do better than Roy at this point in time.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Maybe but how long was Toney allowed to play on? Can’t see the FA getting their act together that quickly

Toney was a very different case.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Think he'll wait until waistcoat goes. Next England manager.

 

[Silverhatch]

Think he'll wait until waistcoat goes. Next England manager.

And he’d be good at the gig.

 

[Beanstalk]

It's a matter of time until Moyes stands down as West Ham manager. In the meantime he has earned more money than any of us could fathom from Uncle Todd.

Otherwise he'll be a somewhat underwhelming England manager.

 

[schmunk]

Sounds like they need a fire fighting, quick fix manager - that's not Potter. Whilst I enjoy his suffering, I still believe he can make serious teams given time.

Wolves? Struggling club but certainly not doomed. Fans seem pretty reasonable too

Isn't he from that part of the world?

I wouldn't be in the least surprised if he's completely lost his stomach for the game, and has rediscovered his love of the easy life he had at the Albion

 

[Live by the sea]

You might be right . Not in a hurry is he . Guess you can’t blame him , wants to make sure he is successful at his next team

 

[dejavuatbtn]

His best bet would be to run a PL club’s academy and under 21s, develop them over a period and, if successful, take them through to the first team as manager. Not sure many clubs would have that level of foresight or patience.

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if he set up his own private academy.
He has the money, time, and skill to do it. And no pressure on him.

How would that work? At what point would he stop managing the under 21s, and start managing the main team, and what's the first team manager supposed to think of their temporary role while the club waits for Potter?
