[Albion] The Potter in/out thread

[Eeyore]

History lessons should be confined to history

History is just one thing after another.

I am pretty sure he's waiting to see what happens with Southgate and the England job.

I reckon he's waiting for Russell Martin to leave stains....

 

[Guinness Boy]

As an expensive RDZ choice, allegedly, that doesn’t sound great. Throw in the alleged falling out with Dahoud and it asks questions about how well RDZ thinks things through. TB picks up the bill though

So do head coaches at Brighton sign players or not?

 

[ManOfSussex]

If Potter wanted an easy life he'd have stayed at Brighton.........

Seems these two were the coaches choice, time to stamp on that

 

[ManOfSussex]

History is just one thing after another.

Like 6 defeats in a row or 11 games in a row without a win? Either way it is what is.

How do you know?

How do you know?

Taps nose, do you know differently?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Taps nose, do you know differently?

So you don’t know.

I assume you’re going on the stories on here. Who do you reckon briefed whoever put them out there originally?

It's that statement that makes me think he wouldn't be back here.

PBOBE must be looking at NSC having a laugh right now

I could understand if the guy had finished top six and won our tough group in Europe. Potter didn’t believe a small little team that used to play in an athletics track could finish top six, hence the history lesson.
Do we really want a manager with that mentality?
Get RDZ on the phone TB kiss and make up, meet him half way and get on with things.
Anything than the Glow over Brunmie.

De Zerbi in Comparison to Potter. De Zerbi's highs were higher than Potter's. But De Zerbi's lows were significantly lower. Some of the football I've watched in 2024 has been god damn awful.

Reading this board, it's funny how you have to be Team Potter or team De Zerbi. People trying to rewrite history to suit that teams narrative.

Come on, you’ve obviously forgotten some of the Covid era football

Fati - a wage for 10 months.
Dahoud - just a wage, less whatever his new club are paying.

Relatively small compared to the vast financial losses from Locadia and Jahanbakhsh, £56m.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'll do what I want pal. And booing the Judas *****r is the least I shall engage in.

Do you mean....?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

You could argue he was.

Pre Forest he was great. After that injury he played like a player who was scared of getting injured.

After that RDZ kept him out and quite rightly. No one was saying ‘bring on Fati’ by the end.

Great is strong, he certainly looked better in Europe, against arguably less physical teams where he had more space.

He didn’t exactly tear the PL up.

But I bet our xG was miles better and that's what's really important.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I think that’s fair enough. Probably had his best games in Europe, particularly against Ajax.

Dahoud also looked ok in Europe, but he was awful from the get go in Premier League.

It does make you wonder if De Zerbi was targeting good European players and hoping the club’s famous recruitment would fill in for the Premier League.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Ok. So we offer Potter the job. Would he take it?

He turned down ajax, isn't he looking to progress his career? You don't do that by going back to the team you left 2 years ago

Good observation.
Though Igor was terrible when it mattered…..

 

[zefarelly]

Gpot shat on the club . . . Yes TB was smart enough to ensure we were financially compensated, BUT, Gpot shat on the club, and took all he could . . . . f***ed us all off. . . .

I don't understand anything more than a single one page thread. No. Never.
