Graham Potter Thread

I have to admit... the signs are worrying.

I will give him another chance for when Felix returns and we go back to a more presentable midfield.

But if we still see the same turgid football - then no. 

And screw the comparisons with Arteta. Arteta might be doing a stage impression of Pep in the dressing room, but he displays more character than what Potter has shown so far.

Its the sort of stuff you need when bringing together a group of big talents. Mudryk look super bored in that first half.

im done with him, nothing suggests he will turn it around, nothing so far looks promising, this job is simply too big for him, he looks completely lost out there and i’m looking at Brighton right now without Potter and they are much better without him. The board need to swallow their pride and let Potter go, look i’m all for stability if the signs of improvement are there, but right now it’s clearly not the case.

Just the way he handled the Ziyech situation tells me he is not ready to handle big egos.

Granted, Ziyech's transfer getting screwed up was not his fault.

But if you were prepared to let him go out on loan, how does he come back straight into your starting 11? Are you trying to make peace?

You don't have to suck up to a player to get him back on your side. Especially if he's "a professional" like you claimed.

2 weeks between games on training ground, you would think some progress would be made but no, we looked worse than in Liverpool.

You would think some progress would’ve been made since he came in, not like our squad was a bad one before.

Potter out.

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Wouldnt be surprised if Boehly and the board are looking for a replacement. Replacing him sharpish issues a statement that as a club we demand better. Also his number 2 Billy Reid ? looks equally perplexed when the cameras on him. If we draw /lose next couple of games it makes perfect sense to offload, before the half billion squad start turning on him/themselves.

im afraid Potter won’t leave until the end of the season at least, only if things become really dire then he gets the boot sooner, it will depend on who is available right now. I just don’t see this new board getting rid of Potter so soon after publicly backing him. To be honest at this point i would gladly take Tuchel back and see what he could do with these new players, but that ship has long sailed, unfortunately the new board and Tuchel didn’t see eye to eye.

Hansi Flick??? Media claim he has been on Stamford Bridge.. Also Boehly stomped dressing room after the match.

i wouldn’t mind having him here, tbh this lot deserves a proper stomping, what a shitshow of a season, embarassing.

[Vegetable 830]

Nah, give him time, he needs more "his players" over the 16 we've currently got and then time to smooth things out and then there's surely some good excuse for him and then give him time to promote us from Championship, because he did incredible work at Brighton, eg doing decent but worse, than without him, lol. Shocking, but some will still refuse to see the obvious ridiculity of this appointment.

Get someone now and we can prepare to challenge next season. Give potter time and you can write off next season too

I am happy from now on we are only going for managers that suit our philosophy and direction new owners are taking us. We never had that before, just changing from one thing to another. So guys like Mourinho, Conte, Tuchel wouldn't even be considered. But yeah, Flick is legitimate option.
