[Albion] The Potter in/out thread

[GloryDays]

Just finished season 5 of Fargo and I thought he was outstanding in that.

Bring him home.

If this is true I cannot believe the cheek of Potter even considering coming back here after what he did and more so Bloom even thinking about it. It will devide the fan base and set up a toxic environment for all parties. There has to be a better option, surely ? I would seriously prefer Neil Warnock

I wouldn’t go that far but I’d rather Poyet back than Potter

 

[Eeyore]

This is a complete shock

It's Football Insider. don't worry.

They are about as inside as Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street on July 5th.

I would like to think Bloom would not piss off 50 percent of the fanbase with Potter I simply cannot believe he would do this. It would be an insane appiontment

I was with you... until the last sentence

I'm hoping this idea is completely lazy speculative click bait.

We need a manager, Potter will be looking for something quite soon .
It is a a fairly easy one to put together.

As these pages have shown, just the mere mention of it, can fuel a significant amount of close-season clicks.

 

[Zebedee]

Potter?? Oh please no. I really can't think of anything worse.

 

[Weststander]

Potter?? Oh please no. I really can't think of anything worse.

Frank Lampard?

That would indicate a serious problem - for you. Seriously? Geez!

Really? A very strange world you must live in.

True - it’s a representation of a small % of Albion fans… which if you extrapolated out across the fan base as a whole would probably result in a near 50/50 split or at best a 40/60 in favour of Potter…

Still, it’s a very bold move as it will (initially at least) polarise a large % of fans…

I’m still not buying it, but if it happens GP will need a charisma bypass to convince the doubters that he’s back for the long haul and be contrite with it, whilst sounding believably enthusiastic… if he says the wrong thing, he’d be in DEEP shit from the off.

I’m still not convinced he’s the answer, and I’m amazed we’d consider a retrograde step …

The noise is interesting, but it’s probably nothing more than a nice little narrative for the bookies

Oh if he does come back it will start with a very long press conference where he does a big mea culpa, and fields question after question where he apologises, says he made a big mistake and brighton was always the best club for him. Might even do a controlled fans forum to the same effect, plus local media interviews, etc. To get the point across that he was a fool and wants our forgiveness At the end of which people will be falling over themselves on here to say they've forgiven him, that they take back previous statements, even that they were 'wrong'! Seen that happen many a time on here.

I think that the Board are getting fed up having to both conduct succession planning and then have to actually put it into practice a nice period of stability would be quite nice for them even if it might seem retrograde.

We have had 2 managers in the last five seasons. If, as you seem to be saying, our succession planning ends at the third managerial appointment we need to make in 5 years then, frankly, it's a bit shit.

Not what I meant, it's not that it ends, its probably that it's just quite draining to have to keep implementing it. And it's not just the manager but directors of football and recruitment staff and medical staff and so on. I'm sure they'd like a few years where they can update their succession planning in private without having to actually go and ring the guys on the list.

Nah. Potter is humble, calm and quite soft but he isn't submissive or stupid enough to sit and apologise about alleged misdemeanours. He wouldn't sit and apologise (though perhaps explain). But he would make it very clear he is aiming for a long long stay. He spent 7 years in Östersund, turning down Malmö FF, FC Köpenhamn and Rosenborg during his time there, and he was one once-in-a-lifetime offer from spending at least four or five years with us. The lad wants to stay a really long time in a club and I think that would be the main thing he'd talk about.

And you know... Graham is never going to be the PR guy.

He's a lot closer to the "first class autist" Dutch media described him as rather than the "greedy cynical cocksucker" many Brighton fans would like to see him as.

The lad really only wants to make young people play good football that people enjoy... that's pretty much it. The fact that he has not said a single word in media for 13 months pretty much shows how uninterested he is in all the sideshow shit. That he's not a complete f***ing retard who turns down £50m doesn't really change the basics.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I think we need another thread

Well the thread is obviouisly a succees as we are reading it, and replying to it.

 

[peterward]

[sparkie]

Imagine re-hiring someone who described your job as the “easy life”. There will be no benefit of the doubt, it will be nothing but disrespect from beginning to end. I’m here to support the players not the management.

Indeed.

Potter's anti-dare-to-dream "easy life" views make any re-appointment untenable.

Potter OUT starts on day 1 until he's gone.

 

[Swegulls]

I can feel it, todays the day, Potter Day!

Can you just get lost already, I don’t want to hear some random Swedish bloke patronise what Brighton fans should think, you’ve played absolutely 0 part in our history, formation of our club, or the day to day, weekend to weekend community that we’ve built. Staggering arrogance from you.
