lol - I get it, ex Arsenal midfielder - pleasing on the eye… trying to out sexy Arteta (according to my other half) …Cesc Fàbregas?
As a fan I'm not bothered about the few million. It's the feeling of being dumped as soon as someone wealthier came along.Would they have left a few million on the table as compensation??
We’re not allowed to shout shoot, remember? It puts the players off!I reckon you’d have seen him at left-back if he was fit tris season.
The one gripe people shouldn’t have about Potter is using players in different positions. He made them all so comfortable on the ball that we saw the shoots of the fantastically fluid football that followed. I can’t think of any manager who was better at changing things in-game. Our ability to seamlessly switch between different formations during the match was what made him stand out. Chelsea’s players were never going to accept being asked to take unfamiliar roles but it would have been to the team’s benefit if they’d stuck with it long term.
Potter had his faults - a slightly uninspiring public demeanour high on the list - but he’s definitely a good coach..
Ratcliffe comes across as a snake, better for Eric to leave and join a decent owner
I actually think that he would enjoy it! Lots of young players and a well run club. Sounds like an easier life (yeah I know ... but it really is compared to Manure and a lot of other clubs).ETH.
Is this Delusional Sunday?
ETH or maybe Pioli?
Dream on!!
It's gonna be Super Graham Potter though.
You’re not even trying to hide it, are you ?Here's a list of some real candidates in no real order: Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Graham Potter, Niko Kovac, Quique Setien, Kjetil Knutsen, Rafael Benitez, Gerhard Struber, Will Still, Michael Carrick, Claude Puel, Dieter Hecking, Steve Cooper, Laurent Blanc, Scott Parker, Pascal Jansen, Michael Beale, Marti Cifuentes, Johannes Thorup, Ruud van Nistelrooy.
I'm adding also a short guide to the little-to-no-chance-in-hell. Print it out and put it in your fridge:
100% certain
These people are not going to be our manager next season:
Erik Ten Hag
Mauricio Pochettino
Or any other manager tied to a £10m-a-year-contract (with one unlikely but possible exception)
These people are also not going to be our manager next season:
Thomas Frank
Gary O'Neil
Or any other manager tied to any established Premier League club
Another guy who won't be our manager next season:
Gareth Southgate
Or any other manager in desperate need of a long vacation in July/August
99% certain
These aren't managing us, because they haven't really done anything except being around in the distant past:
Russell Martin
Liam Rosenior
Or any of our ex players
These people won't come because they can't behave like normal people:
Thomas Tuchel
Jose Mourinho
These people won't manage us because they're in the Champions League:
Paulo Fonseca
And probably every other manager in charge of a top 4 team in a top 5 league
95% certain
This guy won't be our manager next season because someone is willing to pay him five times more than we are:
Kieran McKenna
So who are we going with?
Here's a list of real candidates in no real order: Graham Potter,
