Haters 😂

Let me guess, you didn't consider the historical circumstances for other managers on the list, especially those you tried to insult, only the one you have strangely enthusiastic relation with, did you?

Is he here to stay, time will tell, but I'm quite sure this thread wouldn't be 56 pages long if someone managed to actually make one, convincing argument for the club to appoint and keep Potter here. Meanwhile it's just people ranting about his deficiences that are obvious to see and terrible track record so far vs people with more or less reasonable excuses for him and pure speculation. This way I'm afraid it will last until Potter will manage to silence his critics with his actions at least a little or he is gone, so yeah, long road indeed.

And I would actually consider the toxicity point, if you also tried to raise it in Cucu's, Koulibaly, Havertz or Puli's thread, but somehow bashing players based on subjective reception of fans is traditionally fine, meanwhile pointing to manager's (who is the boss, so naturaly has to meet way higher demands in terms quality, then footballers) numbers, that scream doom is toxicity? Nah, sorry, don't buy it. And it's not like taking any owner's actions without a grain of salt had ever lead any serious club to any good.

I'm with @Gundalfin a way, get potter sacked now and watch you lot piss n moan when the next guy struggles to score goals aswell. If the players could.actually hit the net that game would of been 3-1 to us, 20 shots would suggest we had a good game, potter can't get out there and score for them aswell.

How's that related to what I said? Perhaps it would have been 3-1, but if our players could actually hit the net, I think we'd also get some more CL trophies and other nice silverware since Conte's departure. We are what we are. Let's not forget it's exactly why Lukaku landed here.

Exactly, so who are you expecting to be our new manager and perform miracles in the scoring department?

I am giving him support now won't say one bad word this season no matter what. But my expectations next season are title and nothing less. If I see him by October not being on track to do that I will be strongly against him from that point.

I dare not say it, but even Mou 3.0 is better than Potter. He is getting results out of a barebones Roma squad that plays twice a week. Potter can't even win a game with £600m.

By that point he will fuck up our next season as well, need to either show something now or get rid in the summer before he damages another season.

I think the timing and circumstances around Potter appointment made it less likely to succeed even when it was always a bet like few others (as discussed above).

Many of these players have won the CL. I know some here think that's not a big deal, a fluke, and I strongly disagree. It takes quality and a high level of discipline, which is what makes it so difficult a feat.

Regardless, the point is that it also brings other things: increases the value of players, which leads to contract talks and inflated egos. And pretty much the same set of players are now managed by someone without any important accomplishment in football as well as coming from a much smaller club. If that does not play a part, then nothing will imo.

You approved the TT sacking, you wouldn't even give a so called "elite" manger time 

Knee jerk comment. I never thought he would be fired and I wasn't happy with the firing

Literally anyone not English and mediocre. Don't act like Potter was our only option. He should never have been in the frame for the job

You have just lost all credibility with one post. Spend massive on Youth talent then bring in the youth grim reaper, take a bow lad!! What an idea.

Looks like he is a Chelsea fan who wants what's best for the club, you on the other side look like an English fan.
