[Albion] Potters Chelsea contract.

[driller]

60 million.

Eff me.

No wonder he legged it in a few hours.

 

[Bakero]

Does Boehly's purse even have strings?

 

[B-right-on]

Just another mercenary of the football world.

 

[Rambo]

Is it me or is it an amazing coincidence that it’s the same money they paid for Cucarella.

 

[Blackadder]

I will never understand how Financial Fair Play works.

Can a Dullard help me out?

Yes. The big clubs spend what they want to and either blatantly ignore it or fudge the figures to comply.

Other smaller clubs are forced to comply.

Its all a bit revolting isn't it.

F*ck "the project". Just be honest Graham. They've filled your trousers. That is quite literally ALL that matters to you. I'm not saying its not what most human beings would do, but lets not pretend its about anything else. You had a good thing at BHA, you're 47, you commanded admiration and respect. You had time.

Lets see how this pans out at a club that doesn't afford so much as 18 months. Once you're chewed up inside a year, you'll join the mercenary managers merry-go-round. Well, you already have.

Bitter truth. Far too many of our fans actually beloved Potter was different. Money is everything!

Yep. Hoping he and the rest of those judas's get dogs abuse when they return. MASSIVE CU*TS.

He didn't need the money, he's already worth millions.

Folk just need to accept that sometimes people move for bigger challenges.

The chance to manage a Champions League team, and one that wanted him, isn't a regular thing. He took it.

Good luck to him.

When it's put like that it's hard to say no isn't it?

Crazy money in your bank account, your whole coaching team coming with you and the opportunity to choose your sporting director at one of the biggest clubs in the league. It's a really good opportunity to achieve to succeed at the highest level.

It just sucks on a massive level that it leaves us in such a precarious position.

 

[Hamilton]

I feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach.

I’m disappointed in all of them going, but sadly, I guess I’m now not surprised. I assume that the other members of the coaching team will also have seen their wage packets increase by 6 times.

I feel nothing towards them now. I feel nothing towards Chelsea. I just feel sad and let down.

Is there a typical % paid up if you are sacked mid contract, assuming 50%?

 

[Swansman]

£60m is about £30m more than I thought it would be.

There's not one player in the squad and not one person in the staff who would have turned it down. Neither would any previous manager or player say no to £60m.

Of course, on any fan forum there will be plenty saying "meh, its just money, you already have plenty of that...". Easy to talk, however. Very few of those people would actually shrug and walk away if offered £60m.

100% usually. You keep your salary until a new club hires you.

I would laugh if Potter persuades Chelsea to poach Dan Ashworth though!

As I have said in another thread.
Even without the money, a 5 year deal for someone who clearly sees Potter as the centre-piece to his new regime, is a seriously tempting offer.
Potter must have thought that he would eventually be offered a big job as a last option for a fading team,
But this is huge money, long contract for the current world club champions. With an owner saying all the right things.

He would be a mug to turn it down,
I'm leaning towards forgiveness now ( I told you yesterday's post was just a knee-jerk reaction)

Obviously I hope they all **** up and coming crawling back, cap in hand.
I'm not a ****ing saint.

50/50. Yes it's the challenge, but that's ridiculous amount of money. That's the best part of a quarter of a million quid a week.

How many footballers who are multi multi millionaires went to China for example, for the big cash payout. Fellaini moved there from ManUre in 2019 and he's on £235,000 per week. All about the challenge for him too?

Potter leaving and ripping out the heart of our training staff hurts. Not sure if I'll forgive. Entirely depends on how his replacement does.

If we get relegated this season, would you be so magnanimous?

 

[blockhseagull]

I’m sorry but it is completely about the money.

Not just the piles of cash he is filling his pockets with, but the piles of cash he can now spend on players.

If it wasn’t… then people would never move to a top 6 club…. It’s ALL about the £££££££

Of course they would. They're at this level because they hate losing and love winning. If you get £10k to play for Bournemouth or £10k to play for City, any player would choose City.

He also gets the chance to fill his trophy cabinet.

Sadly, that was probably a opportunity we could never have given him.
