loki679 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 'So, Mr. Potter, it's £120k a week, apartment included in the contract, medical insurance for you and up to 4 dependents and death threats to you and your family on a quarterly basis' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 No excuse for sending death threats to someones family like. Honestly these melts should have "I sent someones family a death threat because I wasn't enjoying football" tattooed on their forehead for all to see for all time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Not condoning that behaviour but Potter seems to have thin skin for a manager. Moaned a few times about Brighton fans as well when they got booed off. Just think once you start to try and either garner sympathy or have a go at the fans whilst your still at the club it will usually end badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally feel like he handles himself with a lot of class. No issue with a manager calling out fans when they have reason to. Potter brought Brighton their best period ever and their fans were complaining about too many draws. If they want to give it, they can take a bit of criticism too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Problem is the media is wedded to a sort of hero narrative where a manager is a lone genius who is able to dictate everything at every club. In fact there are a lot of factors at every club that can boost or diminish a manager who isn't actually soley responsible in practice for how a team does. If Chelsea do stick with Potter, which feels less likely every week, maybe they can rebuild their club ethos and structure around him and he can get some of the results that he got for Brighton. Chelsea are clearly a basket case, and famously their dressing room is difficult. I wonder if Boehly is not taking calls from them, under Abramovich if a manager so much as made one of the star players run a bit more defensively he'd get a phone call whinging about it. Equally however adding a bunch of new superstar players on big wages and long contracts does not feel brilliant for dressing room collusion. I have no doubt this Chelsea team will improve drastically but for all the money I see no sign of anything special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Having said all that in Potter's defense his love of playing forwards as wing-backs feels flawed. Yes Pep does it too, and yes it doesn't work half the time for Pep either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to give it, they can take a bit of criticism too To be honest I agree but it usually just riles the idiots up more and creates a further divide. Just remember how much the Perez celebration used to wind up our fans and that was when he was scoring for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

footywithuti Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Evening everyone, I hope you’re doing well. Although I normally share videos related to transfers or managerial appointments on this forum, I wanted to give my take on last nights game as a Man United supporter and why I firmly believe Newcastle are destined for the very top based on these last 12 or so months for those interested. Your fan base is arguably the best in the English game and I wouldn’t be surprised to see your team become that too in the not too distant future. PS: Hope this is okay with mods!
