Empty It Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 5 hours ago, Fratelli said: It would be incredibly funny if Boehly turns out to be a typical minted yank nutter owner who storms in and starts making mental decisions without knowing a single thing about football. Like the boy at Chester in the 90s who basically made himself the manager without even understanding the basic rules. There doesn't seem to have been an awful lot of strategic thinking behind spunking quarter of a billion on Tuchel's players before punting him a week later, so we might be in for something pretty special. You've literally just described Ron Gordon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It's clearly a bad career move from Potter who surely won't last long with a crazy owner, setting back a promising managerial career. Some of the comments about him needing the job to get ready for the pressure of managing England are quite amusing, Chelsea is a much more high profile job - probably even Brighton is these days. Hence why the current England manager is some nobody. The point about England being rotten at producing managers is apt though, Potter is by far the best they have and he was developed almost entirely outside of English football. Scotland, a country 1/10 the size has 2 managers winning 14 league titles, even Spain have managed 4 titles. This is uniquely bad in elite level football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 6 wouldn't even look at him imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Trent has churned out some woeful defensive performances this season. Whenever I watch Liverpool I can't help noticing how often he just stops playing and walks around when the ball isn't near him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Given the trigger happy nature and results there's English managers who could be out of jobs this wknd - Slippy and Coppell cant have much credit left in the bank with their fans and owners. Add to that the pressure on Rodgers, there could be 5 managerial casualties only 7 games in. Klippety must be another with a shoogly peg but he will have some grace with the board, but another bad league result then they would have to conceded the title challenge is over and are going for the minor prizes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Diego Costa signs for Wolves. Loris Karius signs for Newcastle. Both signings have the potential to be catastrophic to these teams. I'm #AllIn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdu98196 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) With postponed games queue managerial calls about fixture congestion and struggling with squad depth when over half you league spend more than £100M this summer Potter........fucking hell. Shows what I know, but doubt he'll last beyond this season, only a matter of time before guys like Amba etc start a dressing room mutiny and down tools if he tries make them work hard Edited September 9, 2022 by bdu98196 What the f**k do I know..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Crouchy with some proper sense here. What a chance for the Barclays to show this message to the world. What an image it would be when it definitely, definitely happened like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 What's with the relentless torrent on Sky of how big a job it is to turn round Chelsea, and how fans need to manage their expectations, Potter needs to be given time to rebuild etc.... Their squad is worth an obscene amount of money, they were UCL winners 2 seasons ago. What is it about this job that requires a "rebuild". Running interference to shield this guy from criticism before a ball is kicked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Bridge Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 English managers are diddies and have been since Howard Kendall. @Bairnardo is spot-on, they'll make every excuse in the book for Potter if he doesn't do well. For what it's worth I think Potter is different to your usual English manager and will do well. Probably because he didn't actually cut his teeth in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
