Special Juan 28,140 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 It's just a shambles, all of it- as well as embarrassing the fact we are looking at people like Arteta and hoping he comes across with some sympathy for Potter.

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 To be fair its not really Potters fault -Primarily it's Clearlake, several multi millionaire investors, the Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, and Boehly's Dodgers partner Mark Walter. Boehly, the one wearing the scarves and bobble hat is the front man/cheerleader. They need to act bigbluewillie and Laylabelle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireBlue 3,279 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I think I saw a report on the BBC last night, that to sack potter and assuming all his staff will cost 93 million. Don't no if that's right but still was a bad read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 As I’ve said before, I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if Mou is lobbying hard through his agent and intermediaries for the job. He’d return to a heroes welcome by the match going supporters and most likely would turn us around in the short term. But things would eventually go the way they always go with him. Depends how desperate Boehly is for short term success. Jose would probably work very well next season but then….? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't no if that's right but still was a bad read. Im pretty sure managers contracts also have performance based clauses. For example, sacked out of nothing while in all competitions = 100% pay out of remaining contract. Sacked after missing our on top 4 = X% pay out. Etc etc Wasnt that why United waited to sack their manager until top 4 were mathematical impossible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 “We were talking before the game about watching All or Nothing and Arsenal, two years into Mikel’s reign he’s close to getting the sack and people are wanting him out and it’s a disaster. And now things have changed a little bit – and that’s just the way it is." Can't believe what I'm reading. No wonder the squad looks dejected every game when watching Arsenal fail is used as a motivational tool. 🤦♂️ Small club mentality.

Don't no if that's right but still was a bad read. I find that hard to believe. I think that's a bit of basic mathematical journalism where they're just working out contract costs, etc and assuming a termination would be for full amounts. There's been a lot of talk from pretty reputable journalists that suggest the players that have been signed under the new ownership are on lower base salaries than the previous regime and a number of incentives and clauses designed on one hand to reward but on the other hand protect the club from losses in earnings. If this is all true, I find it incredibly difficult to believe that there isn't similar consideration in the contracts of Potter and his staff, as well as cost effective 'get outs' if necessary. No matter how much the club might want this Potter appointment to work out, you'd still expect them to protect their position if it didn't.

Popular Post! NikkiCFC 8,336 Posted March 1, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted March 1, 2023 Someone said Mourinho is doing great job at Roma?! Again 5th after last night loss and if no Juve punishment would be 6th. He got great players like Matic, Wijnaldum, Dybala, Belotti, Rui Patricio and not to reach top 4 would actually be embarrassing in this situation. Just need to finish ahead of Lazio and Atalanta. He has much better squad. If we are bringing back former managers would rather have Sarri. And last night got 3rd red card for Roma already.

Fernando 6,585 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Don't want Mourinho. I would rather take Lampard back then getting Mourinho back. But as far as coaches available I don't know who to get. If they want short term go with Bielsa, he will do good for a season or two and that's it.
