[Albion] Potter- what’s he up to?

[Cheshire Cat]

Mullery managed Palace, so Potter wouldn't be the first to do both.

He can go where he wants.

And he was our club ambassador until he buggered off to Spurs

I'm over it, life is too short....it was bloody funny against chelsea though!
If he went to palace, if they remove hodgeson, he could turn them into a top fifteen side!

RDZ has never had a consecutive run that got us as many points as Potter did in those first games of the season before he left I believe

And the irony is that neither Potter nor RdZ have won 3 consecutive PL games for us. Ironically, CH did with three 1-0 victories playing backs to the wall football.

 

[ROSM]

Point still stands on the balance of probability then

Both runs (4 wins , 1 draw and a loss in 6 games) were against 2 teams that finished top 5, 2 that stayed up and 2 relegated) so who is to say rdz with a full pre season wouldn't have seen that similar run?

Because he hasn’t this season ? Like I say balance of probability

A very good point. After that run he was put under pressure to play more open football and we nearly paid dearly.

One thing we can all agree on is that since reaching the epl we have never been in the relegation zone

If it wasn’t for Potters start last season we’d never have made Europe. Was an incredible run.

And all his back room was hired by him except Ben Robert’s so hardly ‘stole them from us’

You’ve missed my point 1) who said anything about stealing them from us?, and 2) it was the speed of the appointments that’s made me think that the plot had been going on a lot longer than Potter implied.

As I understand, and apologies if fixtures, but his severance package is still active with Chelsea through a monthly payment, this Immediately ceases when he gets another job, hence why it’s got to be a decent job(in his mind) , and for that reason I can’t see him going to Selhurst, he’s already reportedly turned down both Southampton and Leicester City for the same reason, although IMHO turning both jobs down was a huge mistake.

One of his right hand men looked round a chelsea club property the week before it blew up. I believe they turned it down

I think he got a lump sum pay up plus a monthly payment until he gets a new job.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Can you imagine how hilarious it would be if Palace were relegated (this season or next) with Agent Potter in charge?

Come on Graham, you can do it, we'll all be willing you on.

With a different team, losing 2 major players, injuries etc. Simply cant compare

 

[Machiavelli]

Never got the anti-Potter sentiment. Some on here have short memories. Potter completely transformed the way we played after Hughton very nearly got us relegated playing dire, ultra defensive football, which was awful to watch and didn't work. By the time Potter left (for a bigger club ), we were 4th, scoring for fun, and playing outstanding football. He was he that built that up - something which De Zerbi has benefitted from and taken even further. I really hope he doesn't go to Palace. He's exactly what they need and if it happens, he'll do very well there.

Oh, agree with all that, but I kind of want him to go to Palace, just for the panto of it -- that Chelsea game was on a different level.

Although RDZ has won 4 consecutive Europa League games!

I'm of the view that the speed of his departure has got diddly squat to do with his performance as a manager here.

RDZ has done it this season all by 3-1. Home to Newcastle, away to Man Utd, home to Bournemouth.

 

[Swegulls]

He won’t go to Palace, just took his kids to a game. Who wouldn’t?

Indeed that Chelsea game is up there as one of the most enjoyable afternoons of my life.

He can go where he wants.

Peter Taylor managed both clubs and got sacked by Simon Jordan!
