Pizy 18,952 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 26 minutes ago, Reddish-Blue said: It would be more humiliating for the new ownership group if this club went into a relegation battle...because based on form that is where we are headed. We have the worst form line in the Premier League at the moment and every game looks like 3 points to the opposition and Potter hasn't done a single thing to change it. Tuchel, Mourinho, Conte would be going ballistic in the training ground, on the sidelines, watching this rubbish game after game...but Potter is as calm as can be, like he's managing a mid table side, not a side that just spent all that money in January. Exactly. We need a manager to come in and have some balls. Have a personality. Kick these players’ asses. Someone who will demand the highest standard like the other elite managers in this league do. Create an atmosphere where every player has to always be at their best if they want to be in the XI. We have a handful of players right now who continue to get picked when they’ve been shocking for months and months. Players in horrible form get picked match after match because there’s zero accountability and there’s no fire from the manager.

Costa19 858 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 You could buy the thesis of Potter ”building for the future” IF he was stuborn with playing the same players that are believed to be the future even if they performed bad and/or the results were bad. For exemple: Mudryk, Madueke, Enzo, Hall, Fofana (striker) etc. The problem is that he changes the team every week with incomprehensible team selections when he picks Ziyech, Havertz, RLC every fecking game. I mean, do you prefer to lose 2-0 with RLC jogging around when he likely will be gone in the summer or to lose with Lewis Hall in the midfield getting better and better every game also collecting enormous experience? Is Potter building for the future with his team selections or is he panicking lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Maybe they are just looking at returns - not sure about others here, but every day I get at least one e mail from the club, buy this shit, endless competitions etc End of the day the buck stops with the investment consortium. Not just LA Dodgers part owner Boehly. Although he is the face of the group, investment firm Clearlake Capital, and other deep-pocketed partners, including Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, and Boehly's Dodgers partner Mark Walter. Not sure who is taking executive decisions, but they all need to realise Potter is just an employee, and just as a player doesnt perform he's dropped, the same should apply to the manager. Running out of time, rot is setting in Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Don’t think Boehly & co understand that they all look like fools for backing this guy as long as they have/are willing to. Can’t be serious about this season or next if they want to give Potter time. Like at all. Maybe he will get it right by 2030…..

For me Villas-Boas was different because he had won trophies at Porto. Potter has won nothing of note. Maybe a few Swede titles in lower divisions thats about it.

Hope youve signed it Tomo. Not sure I agree with that, Dortmund isn't even sold out yet and the game is next week. If as much as a quarter of the regulars voted with their feet there's not a cat in hells chance we sell out even factoring in the tourist/day trippers. Look at Arsenal fans for example, years and years they moaned about Wenger and protested to get him out to no avail, it wasn't until The Emirates was half empty they finally got their wish. Liverpool fans got Roy out using the same tactics. There's only one language billionaire owners care about and that's cash. It's not just the loss of matchday income (plus refreshement, megastore earnings etc) that will scare them shitless, the brand damage it would cause would force their hand pretty quickly.

Thats true to an extent - though CL tickets even under Mourinhos successful period were sold off cheaply sometimes hours before kick off, advertised in the Evening Standard. Attendances at the new Library have always been iffy. Wenger went because Kroenke (probably similarly to Boehly/Clearlake), was content for CL participation every year as long as revenue poured in, and then the lack of trophies with the Arsenal brand getting trashed. The Ozil/Sanchez debacle was the icing on the cake. That does sound uncannily the same as what we have at the moment with players. I think with moneymen selling a product, the brand getting trashed is what they fear most. Once that starts... Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
