Not even announced yet and we already have people saying ‘you can’t play like that in the PL’ ****ing hell if you get that time on the ball in Italy then the coach will adapt the team to use it. No reason he cannot adapt to the PL he is a highly rated coach.

It took Potter 2+ seasons to get us to the place he left us but we are writing off the new guy based on a YouTube compilation

Jesus wept

Maybe he “learned something” watching the friendly yesterday?

Looking to bring 7 back room staff with him apparently but TBC. Explains the Bruno thing a bit I guess

7? FFS - does that include his wife and mother-in-law that want a bit of an income as well? Potter arrived with three (and left with five - which was too many)..... now, 7....SEVEN!

Perhaps we should just ask him to bring a big enough retinue to fill the empty seats at the Amex that the present arrangements prevent from being filled. :facepalm:

Been employed over 2 hours now........ no presser, done the square root of **** all for the players.

Clearly out of his depth, he needs to go.

It’s no coincidence that we haven’t won since he was appointed, I might start the out poll now.

Nervous times for club bringing someone in with no experience of PL. So much involved apart from coaching. Retaining players we want is important and under Potter all would have felt club is going forward. His relations with players will be vital and this will be easier if his English is good. So disappointing Bruno is not here as could have been assistant head coach and helped him through early stages.

Potter had no experience of anything better than 10th in the Championship. This chap has managed in Serie A and the Champions League!
