[Albion] Potter- what’s he up to? (Managing West Ham from 9 Jan)

[Perfidious Albion]

If they gave the previous one only 6 months or so, G P will need longer. Remember how long it was with us before things clicked….

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

In theory not a bad job.

Yes he's got an unrealistic set of fans to deal with.

But they've got some very decent players there and they will pay good fees and wages for new ones

It was like a rest home after tea time when we played up there recently.
Lopsy is even weirder, and much more titsy than Potter.
So I would imaging the irons may warm to Potter
And they do have good players.

Good luck to him if he gets the job. Agree with previous comments that he will do well given a bit of time

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

Hammers probably acting quickly as they are probably aware the Ginger Bouncer will be sacked soon and there's no way they want him at the London stadium. Give it a week Lop and you will get ANOTHER job in ANOTHER shiny newer stadium working under ANOTHER basket case of owners and ANOTHER set of deluded fans who think they have the define right!!! English football eh!!!

Yes he will need time and it took a while before it all clicked with us. But you could see very early on that he totally transformed the way we played; that refreshingly we attacked a lot more away from home, and generally controlled the ball and matches even if we didn't always get what we often deserved.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He would have cried himself to sleep if it had been Spurs. Not sure their main chant would have sat well.

To be fair to Simon, he has come back to us after never really leaving, and seems irrevocably attached to us now.

And I am sure many of us who have followed the Albion for a longer time will have a passing interest in the progress of (potentially) the best English coach around at the moment.

More likely acting quickly, if they do indeed want Potter - because there is a real chance they'd have competition for his services, from Everton, if they wait.

One of the worst first 45 minutes of football I have had the misfortune to watch since last season at Wet Sham - when it was 90 grim minutes of "football".

Must be all that emotional intelligence, as wouldn't be a typo in the Grauniad...

But we saw, or at least some of us did, exactly what he was trying to do almost immediately. Pretty well the whole squad needed a revamp for his style. Play decent football and he’ll get time…maybe

I hope this test of his allegiances cements him as an Albion fan

Would be a good appointment for them, and a suitable role for him.

He'd do well there.

Would love to see him back here one day.

 

[stewart12]

we'll take the fakin poz'i'ivs orwite?

 

[WhingForPresident]

I have no doubt they'll be proclaiming him as a god when he is announced then be hounding him out the club by April. Can't see him getting the time he needs to sort them out.

Going to be fun seeing Fullkrug play Potterball.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Great appointment for West Ham.

No more easy games against the Hammers, annoying.

The last three didn't go so swimmingly

It will be what it will be...
