[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[Weststander]

Fail please. Although I rate him. I am, somewhat disappointingly, finding small shreds of pity for him as he looks so lost and alone on the touchline. There must be a part of him, the honest part, which must in the small quiet hours of the morning, admit to himself that he's made a terrible terrible mistake.

Then he checks his Coutts online bank balance, hops in the Bentley and goes to work with world-class talent such as Cucurella.

He will not have failed at a personal level.
He will not have to work again and be set up for life, job done.

Doesn’t work like that. He’s motivated by footballing success….he’ll be rich, but live a sad, lonely existence watching endless replays of us beating Leicester sat in his pants, dribbling soup down his front.

Another WTF are we bothered about thread. Who are we talking about?

 

[Hugo Rune]

I just want the message that leaving Brighton for the BBD (bigger, better, deal) will, more often than not, end in failure and disaster.

Why?

Nothing personal but I’d prefer us to be able to keep folk like Ashworth, Potter, Bruno, Roberts, Cucurella, Bissouma and Winstanley instead of losing them to the big buck.

If Potter fails, perhaps others currently at the club will think twice before jumping ship. That is my motivation in wishing in failure.

 

[Zeberdi]

Curious at the general sentiment on this, so humour me please...

There’s no option for ‘ Or are you just getting bored to death talking about fcink Potter?’

 

[StonehamPark]

I was bitter when he left and wanted him to fail.
I've long predicted this would be exactly what happened the day he left.
The fans won't be patient, and the chairman will buckle sooner rather than later, and he'll be on the merry-go-round by end of season.

As of right now, I really don't care. This is entirely due to how exceptional RDZ and his team have been.

 

[OzMike]

Hmmmm.
Can't help thinking that's not his motivation, this is hurting him badly and will hurt even more if he goes onto to fail at West Ham as well.

If he fails badly at Chelsea he will disappear with his payout and won't be seen again.

No way !

 

[ManOfSussex]

It's a divisive subject this one if nothing else.

Doesn’t everyone do the last bit?

Yeah but he's a comparatively young man who's devoted all his adult life to football management.
It's almost impossible to believe the just walks away.
He has unfinished business written all over him, he just can't make such a blinkered choice next time round.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

He’s his own history lesson.

The man who dismantled a house built on rocks and rebuilt it on a mound of sand.

If I were in a position to retire at his age and not have to put up with the pressures anymore I would disappear.

 

[Wozza]

I voted "I want him to fail" but actually I want Chelsea to suffer a slow, painful (football) death.

​

 

[Rookie]

I don’t dislike him (won’t stop me booing him if he gets another game against us) and it would be good if he turns it around (which given time I think he will) but seeing Chelsea suffer is great fun.
Supporters who have an inflated level of importance with a fair few he couldn’t find their way to Stamford Bridge and an annoying American in charge.

 

[warmleyseagull]

He will. Replacing NJ is a good guess. A battered Saints in Championship would be his sort of gig. But NJ prob will beat him by too big a margin in sack race

 

[Stat Brother]

Me too.
But then again I haven't crafted a specific career plan, which is probably one of the many reasons my current boss doesn't value at £10m a year.

Que?

 

[The Grockle]

I must admit to being gutted when he left and felt the nature of his departure was pretty unpleasant but I always felt we were his stepping stone to one of the elite clubs.

I guess I'd be firmly in the minority of those that want him to succeed, the impact he had with us ,the way we developed him as a coach and how he reaped the rewards of our increible scouting network/player development has raised our profile massively IMO.

 

[A1X]

It’s not that I want him to fail, but I find the fact he is incredibly funny
