Name a serial winner manager available right now? And don't say TT because that ship has sailed and partly the reason we are where we are.

Zidane and enrique are supposedly available

Theres something strange in training.. I dont know what they do but half team is injured, rest cant stop a ball or cant make simple pass with one touch.. 

We made Havertz from technical gifted player into wood who cant control ball lol. If you dont belive just watch his matches with Leverkusen.. 

I think they dont train technical exercises at all..

Zidane won't come no chance, and Enrique? 800 passes per game in our own half? For a start we haven't even got the players to play his shitty ticky tacky football.

If we are about to ignore all the arguments and play with convenient absurd, fine - Given our current situation, I'm fine with this guy, he won't do worse:  

I'm not ignoring them I simply haven't read them, generally when post are that long it's full of absolute dribble, so I don't bother to read it all, nothing against you like. If it makes you feel better I haven't read one of vespers long post in like 5 years 🤣

His Barcelona team was fairly direct

If you think this is a reason to brag about, up to You mate. 

I understand you like Potter and will deny him being incompetent deer in headlights for dear life, that your right. The audacity to call any honoured manager's football "shitty" while we have Potter and probably we wouldn't do worse against Fulham and Forrest if players were just told to freestyle does it for me.

It is possible that training has been persistently subpar or a LONG time, given that we played so many games - didn't we play the most or close to the most out of any team in the world in the last year or two? It is quite likely that a lot of stuff that our coaches have wanted to do over the last couple of years has been impossible due to this. No doubt also played a part in our injury crisis.

I am kind of hoping we have no European football next year whatsoever, maybe everyone will say I am crazy, but I remember in Conte's title winning year what a massive difference it made. 

I woke up with the opinion we may as well stick with Potter for now. Club should set a target finishing position with him and if he can't reach it with the lads we're buying in January and the ones we already have then sack him end of season. Feel like another manager right now will have the same problems and still struggle awfully and essentially not be setup for success, would be the beginning of a potentially great journey if they come in with our squad mostly fit at the time.

I really do want us to stick with him but I'm sorry as each passing result goes by something is going to give here.

Simply put with the injuries and coupled with the players that have completely chucked it.

The transfers of previous seasons also have a lot to answer for as the purchases have been nothing short of pathetic.

Just get a caretaker then , anything over potter

The celebrity physio firm stuff stinks and is not scrutinized enough. Also, just after takeover it was announced the "best American staff experienced in sports will join". Is it those guys?

Anyway, yesterday we couldn't place a precise pass, it's not something PL players will forget how to do after not dribbling with cones for 3 months. They are just unable to anticipate what their collegues will do, despite fielding same players all the time. So we lack precise tactical Instructions or knowledge of them.
