Potter strikes me as someone way more suited to international management. I have no explanation for this and will not be elaborating further. 

Don't agree he seems a systems manager whom needs time with players you don't get at international level. Or Indeed with West ham whom will sack him and replace him with moyes in a few weeks. 

 

That said, don't feel i really know if he's actually any good or not...

After the Ashworth debacle at Man U, you have to wonder how much of Brighton's success is down to their system, and that massive loan from the owner that PSR doesn't care about, not some wonderous performance by any particular individuals in their system. Potter took all of his staff to Chelsea but couldn't get a tune out of very good players. Even when Howe joined us and we were losing 4-0 to Leicester, there were still clear signs of improvement over Bruce. This was not necessarily the players instantly grasping what Howe's ultimate tactical destination would be. It was likely more stop-gap tactics to improve organization etc. until Trippier and Bruno arrived.

 

On a similar tip, I think Klopp gets a lot of performance credit actually due to whoever out of the Moneyball bods said "we must sign Salah". He wasn't Klopp's choice.

Also got me thinking how lucky we are to have Howe who is adaptable and pragmatic. That first half season he was patient, did whatever was needed not necessarily insist on following his preferred style as that may have been too risky. You do whatever is needed.

 

compare that to Amorim or Ten Hag or some of the others who insist on only playing their way even in times of crisis

I like Potter, I don't mind West Ham, although they were giving it a bit cockney large with attitude to our fanbase a few years ago. 

 

Rather them than any other London club though.

Prefer Fulham. There's a topic for a thread; rank the London clubs in order of preference.

What Potter did before coming to England was exceptional, reminded me of Howe in his early Bournemouth days. I can't draw parallels beyond that as it was lower league stuff in weird leagues that I've only seen the results of on Wikipedia, not up close stuff like I've seen of Howe's early career, but I've always thought of things went south with Howe, I'd like to give Potter a chance.

Because West Ham want more than just staying up.

 

They won a european trophy just a few years ago.

 

 

 

Then sacked the manager who got them there and won it, they deserve what they get.
