[Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

[worthingweird]

Better the devil you know sometimes...

 

[Flounce]

There is no real comparison between Murray and Potter leaving…except they both came back…oh

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I want see see someone that opts for all out attack, to whom defence is an alien concept. Putin gets my vote.

Bloom will hopefully take his time, I don’t want him Russian in to anything

 

[Krafty]

Ajax have appointed Farioli as their new coach.

 

[Jim in the West]

Regarding Potter, the history lesson comment was annoying, but the one that looks most ill-judged now is the reference to “having it easy” at Brighton. How could we seriously welcome back someone who is here for the easy life.
I don’t think that sort of person appeals to Barber or Bloom.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

He was playing left back when he got injured against City

Only due to injuries and not because the manager thought that was his best position.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It took 7 years and a 3 year spell as the U21 manager first (and winning the Toulon Tournament) . It wasn't like he was sacked at Middlesborough and walked straight into the England job.

My wormy point was that his only experience as a league manager was getting 'boro relegated, followed by the sack. Which could be argued to mean Potter, never relegated, is a plausible candidate for the England job. Unless of course the FA decide to appoint from within again. Lee Carsley? Hmmm.....

That said, If Southgate were to move back to league management the timing is all wrong. Chels and ManUre aren't going to wait till after the Euros to appoint a manager.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I mean, if he does come back it will be the first fans forum half hosted in the tunnel club

 

[Biscuit]

So it's more important to boo the manager than support the team? Weird approach, that.

Obviously not, I was exaggerating for effect.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

WTF?

 

[Baldseagull]

Hughton was fired because he wasn't capable of any better than scraping above relegation every year.

Potter was achieving the club's stated aim of top 10 before he left.

That's the difference.

Hughton had 2 years in the PL and a lesser squad and got pretty much the same points as Potter got in his first 2 years.
Potter had us playing football that was at least enjoyable to watch, if you were not fussed on the results, so he got a 3rd year, and looked to be going backwards in terms of results, till he discovered Caicedo was quite good.
He won't get the same amount of patience second time around, playing nice and not winning often, is not all that rare these days in the PL.

 

[A1X]

Glenn Murray?

I take your point but I would also argue there is a difference between a player and a manager, a player can be hidden during the week and rarely are they the public face of the club unlike the manager

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I’d prefer him to Martin or Rosenior.

A good back-up option if we can’t get the 6 or so managers we’re looking at ahead of him.

I’d back him. I’m interested in good football and winning not the emotional fallout of his previous departure.

So am I, and I wasn’t impressed with his tactics tbh. He wasn’t bad but he wasn’t good either.

 

[Anger]

I think Chelsea ought to pay us more compensation if we end up having him back.

See, I never got the problem with that quote. I just interpreted it as him saying that it was hard at Chelsea because of all the new players and starting from scratch, but he was trying to convince their fans that he was up to the job. Whereas at Brighton he had already got the team playing well, had superb support from the board, everything was as he wanted it, it was pretty easy in comparison.

I mean, is there anyone here who thinks his job at BrIghton WASN'T easier than his job at Chelsea?

 

[Insel affe]

So am I, and I wasn’t impressed with his tactics tbh. He wasn’t bad but he wasn’t good either.

If he was not bad and was not good, we can do better, too many folks on here seem to think we should settle for Potter, it has only been 7 days, it seems panic is setting in amongst the Albion faithful.

Bloom and Barber will be working away under the radar, all the media speculation is just that, until we either hear directly from our club or another concerning an approach it is all guess work obviously and click bait.

Potter is not the answer, we moved forward from his frequent miserable run of results and dull personality.

If we seriously signed him back, I will give up my season ticket.

I cannot see myself singing "Graham Potters Blue and White army" ever, ever again, it feels wrong....

I would take RDZ back though.

Apologies, it's difficult to tell on here sometimes

 

[um bongo molongo]

AC Milan now have a vacancy as well. That could suit RDZ well. The merry go round is dizzying.

 

[Mancgull]

AC Milan have lined up Paulo Fonseca I believe? If they gazump with RDZ then we could steal in for Fonseca.
