54 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 West Ham have treated Lopetegui terribly like. They cancelled his press conference first thing this morning, then made him take training, and when that was complete they then fired him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 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.

Izakaya Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Potter strikes me as someone way more suited to international management. I have no explanation for this and will not be elaborating further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Skeletor Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
