The Managerial Merry Go Round™

[wormy]

I don't want it to be true but he'll get the team working as it should unfortunately. A club allowed to spend that much money can only fail for so long.

Would have stayed up if they stuck with Marsch. Leeds are a complete and utter mess.

Garcia was the only manager who managed a point per game. 11pts in 11 games.

Not a cat in hell's chance a genuine top manager will want to work with that gutless rabble of a squad. They've been on the decline since Poch left and Kane's (and Son's) constant supply goals have kept the stench in for the last 18 months but even that isn't enough to disguise the smell any longer. That club is fucking rotten, it needs completely gutting from top to bottom. Take Kane's goals away and they're bang average, mid-table fodder with a lush stadium. 

 

I may be being harsh there but that's my view on them from the outside.

Spalletti leaving Napoli. Taking a year off apparently.

Horncastle mentioned it on Golazzo last night. Something like he's got an optional year agreed but if he decided to walk then he's effectively on gardening leave for a year. Something like that anyway, was only half listening tbh

Ah I thought he was leaving and suggested De Zerbi to take his place.

As much as that's true, working with Levy must be as much of a turn off. It's like the "who would want to come work under Ashley" years. Until he goes or steps back so he isn't undermining the manager/coaches spuds will always be a hand tied behind the back.

He's better than there but it's a step back in the game.

Not sure he’s done anything to suggest he’s better than Palace tbh 

[andycap]

He's obviously a talented coach but the type that needs time to get it going. Don't know if Palace would fit that bill mind, parish seems a itchy trigger finger type of guy. 

[Yorkie]

Potter to Palace feels like a brilliant move for all parties tbh. I don't think there's any doubting the job he did at Swansea and Brighton and he was clearly on an upward trajectory before his idiotic decision to abandon a good thing for a very bad one. Going to Palace means everyone landing on their feet. 

[Stifler]

Palace and Brighton hate each other. Is he still admired by Brighton fans, and if so does he respect that enough?

If this was Steve Bruce, the only thing holding him up would be how long the laws of physics determine it takes for ink to combine with the paper.

Not that much difference to Poch going to Chelsea after managing Spurs?

[toon25]

Potter will get Palace a solid mid-table finish. Like every other manager they've had in the last 5 years

Closer to spurs and arsenal. Brighton and Palace are direct rivals.. for reasons I have forgotten!

[Deuce]

Potter to Spurs seems like the obvious and inevitable pairing. 

[Nate]

I don’t see Potter’s decision to join Chelsea as idiotic. He was earning ~£1.75m a year at Brighton and then earned ~£15m in six months.

 

His reputation is pretty much intact, he’s set for life financially and that was the worst-case scenario. There was also huge upside in the unlikely event that he did make it work.

Poor professional move, great life move. Hard to argue with a manager going to a team that will spend huge money even if it’s a complete basket case of a club like Chelsea

[The Bonk]

Palace will be good for him as the expectations will be tempered and he'll have less pressure to do his thing. He was very good at Brighton in the same regard to Eddie with improving players they unearthed from various leagues. He won't have the front office support he did at Brighton, but there's enough talent to draw from that he could develop and improve the squad to be challenging for a spot in the top 10 and not worry about relegation whatsoever. Probably the best place for him to rebuild his image, but I don't think he really damaged it that much considering Lampard did even worse when he took over. 

[Kid Icarus]

Palace  

 

I remember when people were saying he'd have nothing to lose with his idiotic move to Chelsea and his stock would be just as high.

 

...Palace 

 

Great if you're only arsed about the money, but in career terms he's gone backwards if he really is going to Palace

I'd be amazed if Potter went to Palace.
