Still a shit way to treat an employee.

Especially considering he's also just lost his father.

[andycap]

Do you think his style will suit there players? There all big buggers aren't they.

Made me laugh that the delay in getting Potter was because West Ham were only willing to give him a contract until the end of the season

 

Dildo brother being a cheap cunt shocker

Fuck Potter, the boring cunt, and fuck West Ham

Where about to find out, I have a feeling your right though.

Will be interesting to see Potter there thought he was the obvious choice in the summer and would have been able to work with their squad rather than be parachuted into a bad situation like Chelsea.

Probably do him some good. Bit of time to process.

Well can I just say. I think West Ham have acted swiftly and very professionally here.

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...

That loss to West Ham is the one that really grates. They're a fucking clown show and yet we put in the worst performance of the season against them at home.

[toontownman]

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.

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
