Still no photos or videos from training or interviews with him or a presser?

I don't have high hope. 

I think we will be going the united route. 

There are differences though.

I know Moyes did well with Everton in terms of results (and his teams also punched above their weight at Goodison), but I don't recall anything remarkable about his style of play or tactics. That's not the case with Potter.

Also, he had really big shoes to fill with regards to the departing Ferguson. It must have been a steep drop in quality for the players, in terms of coaching experience.

It remains to be seen how Potter can handle a squad of big names, but I hope his genial personality will help him there. The only other question is his ability to manage in Europe, but we'll find that out soon enough.

They are still playing only depressing love songs on every radio channel going, even talk sport are only talking about the queen, press conferences won't even be happening and I assume they see it as disrespectful posting images and videos in YouTube.

Kante will be 32 next March so it makes sense

Okay, so this guy hasn't won anything of note despite being a manager since 2008. The only achievement that people mention is that he got Brighton playing some nice football... just like Pochettino did with Sp*rs or Wenger with Arsenal (post-invincibles). Playing nice just for the sake of it means fuck all.

Sceptical over this appointment, has mediocrity written all over it like with all English managers. Hope he proves me and all doubters wrong though. Good luck, Graham! You're gonna need it with those players.

Most people whingeing on rarely give a list of alternative candidates that can then be debated.

I am very happy with the Potter pick.

No Spudsboy Poch.

Did Pochettino play nice football at Spurs? They were the best team not managed by Pep we've ever faced in terms of forcing mistakes but i thought their overall style of play was pretty meh.

He hugely benefitted from Kane's goals to help inflate this opinion they were some free flowing attacking team.

I actually find it incredible how hyped up he is within some quarters. He had a really strong team on paper and still won nothing. They had a huge opportunity the year Leicester won the league and all the other top teams struggled, and they shat the bed and finished third.

7 of those years he spent taking a fourth division Swedish team to the top flight and the Europa League. Can't compare his career to Poch or Wenger's teams

Can I get 'decimated' by getting paid £140-150m over a 2 year span?  LOLOL

Plus we are selling them them good young players on the cheap, and loaning them Colwill (perhaps selling him to them if he doesn't pan out at a Chels level)

There was a point where pep and klopp had also won't absolutely nothing, how do you expect coaches to start winning stuff if not giving the opportunity? Potter would win the league with that man city team I think most managers would.

I hope he finds success early. He seems like a calm, intelligent, nice guy.
