Troll Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Chelsea have new owners, saying he’ll be gone in a year or two is like blaming Stavely for Ashley’s faults. With the speed they’ve gone for Potter, it feels more like Boehly wanted to make his own appointment and had already decided on Potter. As for Potter taking it, you’d imagine he would be confident enough in his own abilities that he would be successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Good for Potter - hope it works out for him. Work with a few Brighton fans and their opinions make me think he's a bit overrated. He's obviously a good manager though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Potter is a fantastic manager, its a good move for us as it weakens Brighton and it's not clear on wither or not he will be able to make it happen at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Carragher on SSN reckons Tuchel was heavily involved in the choices and recruitment over the summer, so puzzled he didn't get longer with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Urgh. Was really hoping that would drag on and Tuchel would completely poison the place. On 07/09/2022 at 10:36, Kid Icarus said: Potter would be out of his fucking mind to go somewhere with the short-term trigger happy set up that Chelsea has. Expand I’m not so sure. Boehly hasn’t been there that long and it’s clear that Tuchel and he (and maybe humanity in general) are wildly incompatible. We have enough evidence to see that Boehly et al are happy to throw money at a problem, but I think there’s still a chance that they stick with a manager. Just not Tuchel. Because, you know, he’s a weirdo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Their new owner looks like he's bringing in a more extreme version of the Chelsea model based on what he's done so far: choosing players himself, paying way over the odds, attempting to sign players with little rhyme or reason, sacking Tuchel early on.

nufcjb Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I had a funny feeling when they were 0-1 down to West Ham at the weekend that if Tuchel doesn't string some results soon, never know how their new American owner would react, especially with the amount of money they splashed for new signings. They're a mess and losing to Zagreb was proof of it. Missing a Russian billionaire Chleski fans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they were probably signing them anyway, regardless of manager. Expand Fair enough I suppose, but doesn’t necessarily bode well for continuity. Unless they believe Potter is more suitable to the players they already have. Interesting anyway, big blow to Brighton which is good in the short term.

Mike Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Brighton came out to the big city, parked their club, went in for a cup of coffee and came out to a club on cinderblocks. Absolutely scrapped for parts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It’s nice to see a manager who has worked his way up the leagues, learned his craft rather than been equipped to play real life fantasy football, get a chance at the highest level.

I was told they always have a plan in place for replacing their key positions. See David Weir coming in 'ready made' to replace Ashworth. Be very interesting to see who they bring in for the Potter replacement. Wouldn't be surprised if its someone who's 'up and coming' or a bit from left field as they probably monitor coaches globally as part of their model.
