He knows what it takes to manage at the top level. Compare that to Potter who has only had exposure with Brighton....and it becomes clear that he is Moyes 2.0 (just like Moyes crashed & burned at United...Potter is making Chelsea a mid table club). What I hate about Potter is that he has no response to the rubbish performances on the pitch. I didn't mind us losing a few games under Lampard's management as at least we knew he had the Chelsea connection and he was a young manager giving it a go. We lose games under Potter and it's always the same line: "we gave everything" "we all feel pain" Emery must have been having a laugh when he saw the teamsheet and it was Koulibaly/Cucurella as the CB's. Neither player can be trusted to defend properly and you decide to put them together.... He was awesome at Valencia too , they were consistently the 3rd best team in la Liga under him and have been awful since he left. Our squad is 10x better than Aston villa but their manager is leagues ahead and it showed. You're right , lampard at least had sentimental value and made sense given the circumstances around his appointment.

Seymop 90 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Potter is out of his depth and has no idea how to halt the downward slide. But who in the club was actually responsible for signing half of this lot on inflated transfer fees and totally inflated salaries ???? Cucarella ( a joke), Sterling,Auba, Mydryk ( might be a good prospect but too risky for the money we paid,Koulibally — and so on and so on. Really sad to say we are currently becoming a bad joke Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 More I read about Naglesmann the more I’m skeptical about whether he is the right choice. He couldn’t be worse than Potter but hard to say he’d be what we need long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetable 830 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 There was a lot of stink around Nagelsmann long before he was sacked (partly because he fitted Bayern mentality bit too well), but we are not really in position to be picky. Tuchel didn't have a great reputation as well. If I was to give sb a risky shot, it would much rather be Nags, than GP. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 It's not that we are sleep walking into mediocrity, we're there. The longer it goes on then it will become the 'norm'.

But yeah he is trash coach acording to some ppl The statistics are just there: statistically he is the worst Bayern coach in the last 10 years. Its just a fact. Dont even mention CL, bc if u only look at CL, even Potter seems like a good coach. 6 games - 5 wins - 11:2 goals lol The thing is: sacking Potter is very risky from a financial point of view. We risk breaking some financial regulations, FFP, PL and so on. And it means we couldnt really strenghten the squad in the summer. So we should be really sure about the next manager. Just sacking Potter for the sake of sacking is not the best option given the financial problems we will get. We must be sure the next manager wont have the same problems as Potter, Nagelsmann is very expensive as well, so paying him off too after 1 year might actually destroy this club.

Pizy 18,952 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 It seems I’m the only one who wants it but….Conte is right there… 😔 A manager who connected well with the supporters, is a serial winner when backed in the market, and knows the club/league well. I really don’t see the downsides. Tottenham was the last club in Europe for a manager like him who demands the highest standards. This squad we have needs an authoritative figure who will push them and demand top performances. Not a passionless amateur like Potter who wants to be every player’s favorite uncle.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Another reason why Arsenal winning the league doesn't do us any favors - the owners probably keep looking at Arteta as the reason why Potter should be given a chance. Hell, Potter kept saying it himself in press conferences., to make excuses for his terrible performance. Seymop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like DDA said above - you have to appreciate coming in and trying to take things on your way. Reality is - they are successful at what they do and making successful teams. We have bitched and moaned throughout the Roman era that the football wasn't pretty, we never gave the youngsters a go, and that we have no real continuity and identity... Well, we are trying now, and this is what it takes. Some rough times and growing pains. "Fans" here act like we are going through the worst of the worst. Reality is; we are not all that far removed from winning the club world cup, a CL title, and we have done some fantastic business for great young talents. We have some players that aren't cutting it right now like KK, Cucu and others, but we have signed promising talents. This is no different to any other team, aside from the fact I would say we are talent stacked heading into next season bar a striker. Potter was a mistake, but it seems they are ready to try a different approach. Give it time. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Arse were also in the mud for like 10 years when they appointed Arteta. They were in the wilderness and a laughing stock. It was easier for the club to go for a rebuild from the ground up and build the team up gradually. We just recently won the Champions League and have a squad that’s MUCH further along than what Arteta started with. So the expectations from Chelsea supporters were much higher. Arteta even in his first couple of mediocre seasons at least showed spells of progress and won a couple of minor trophies. Potter’s flashes have been the odd individual match. Nothing sustained.

That's it. I didn't expect miracles this season and be challenging for anything cause a bit far from it. But didn't expect to be 11th with 28 games played and 10 of those wins but also 10 of those losses.. What's frustrating is just when you see a glimpse of something coming together we take leaps back. Seems the wins are more a fluke then anything! Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdlk 286 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Comparing with Arteta is BS, at least he was trying to implement his style, his vision of football while Harry Potter whats he doing? Rellying on Tuchel tactics to save your job! Not an inch improvement in all aspect. I think for first time some Chelsea fans will be for Liverpool in next match..
