[Albion] The Potter in/out thread

[jackanada]

I was fence but the thought of the epic flounce from many on here has shifted me to Potter IN.
Sakes TB has always said all staff can listen to offers and if the price is met they can leave. He didn't seem tools, he didn't agitate, he didn't use a cunning clause in his contract, he exited with best wishes from PB and TB that seem to have been entirely genuine.
Of course I booed the crap out of him on his return and enjoyed it all going wrong at Chelsea. But you know what? I can separate the tribal pantomime of football support from how things actually work because I'm a f***ing adult*

*This is not entirely true because I will childishly enjoy the apocalyptic binfest should this come to pass, and will never stop finding fart gags or a well told story involving excrement funny.

I've just remembered the teeth sucking thing he always does. Who wouldnt want to hear that in pressers after we'd just had 30 shots at home, scored none, and drawn with the team that are bottom?

Potter will go to Leicester imho.
It's a win win situation for him there. Newly promoted but with a points deduction incoming, he has a free hit for a season rebuilding his reputation before doing the same thing to them as he done to us .

Do you need PBs email address to offer your opinion that he should give Potter the job because it'll piss off 2/3 of the fan base?

Really? Because in the subsequent interview by PB I saw, he expressed quite some annoyance at him leaving with our entire back room staff. Yes publicly they issued a statement but privately what they said and thought could be very different.

This has all the makings of a PRIME banter season.

Covid showed that. You put fuckoff big banners and flags on the seats, crowd noises and the punters in India and the far east don’t give a f about our fabs who go and watch

One for @El Presidente to give us the figures of full stadiums to empty stadiums ( with no stewards, catering staff and just a skeleton staff) and if in the overall scheme of things it matters if anyone is in the stadium. I would hazard a guess it hardly makes a difference.

It very much varies, for a Club such as Manchester United or Spurs matchday income grosses more than £100m a year and about 20% of revenues.

For a small Club such as Crystal Palace matchday is just 7% so putting up prices does not make a huge difference to the overall total.

And to think we took the piss out of palace when they got Hodgson back in again.

I can imagine all the Nigel's that are hoping that Tony's succession planning will end up going full circle back to a previous manager...

Potter?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Boooooooo

 

[Me and my Monkey]

He can only come back if he writes each and every fan whose feelings he hurt a nice letter of apology, explaining that he's learnt his lesson and promising not to be such a stupid twat next time round. I hope that's made clear to him during "talks".

"Sensational" is doing a fair bit of heavy lifting in that headline
