Potter Out

[THUNDERCLINT]

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.  

11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game.

Either the break clause is true or this flake quits otherwise were proper fucked.

Some proper spastics support us. The ones already "Potter out" are the type of men that would flip out at their missus when she gets dinner wrong.

 

The same ones that would have screamed for Lyall to be sacked after the 77/78 season when we scored 52 goals in 42 games and were abject.

Great comparison 
Comparing a manager scoring 1.23 goals a game to one scoring our all time low of 0.9

If she had the most expensive ingredients that money can buy, and got paid a fortune to cook, then served up the same boring shit eleven days on the spin, I would deffo have the hump with her!!

"when we scored 52 goals in 42 games and were abject."

Nobody's having a go at you for being happy still.

I think you’re a spastic for supporting a manager that organises a team worse than a bloke that had fights with his players

I’m backing this 

you cannot back a manager that’s scoring less goals in the clubs history, whilst picking up less points than a manager who was involved in punch ups with his players, whilst sliding 3 places down the league since he took over and making the worst loan signing up front since Zaza

This is a worse brand of football than Allardyce ever served up, at least his hoofball meant we kicked the ball towards the oppositions goal 

this horse faced bloke is an insult to anyone that’s ever earned a coaching badge
the combination of Sullivan and Potter will relegate this club 

[THUNDERCLINT]

Yeah that early Pep thing particularly except they could play thru or around the opposition midfield, But the approach is consistent, keep possession regardless of it how many passes it takes to get forward.  We cannot do it ( those central midfield athleticism issues one reason ) so end up after 10 - 15 passes, launching it long.

Except it's not Pep's brand the tedious cսnt has himself admitted his admiration of Roberto Martinez' possession based style.

We're totally fucked.

Potter trying to play Pep's possession style with inferior players is always going to be a problem.  But also Pep's style has arguably passed its sell by date? A fast transition, athletes and more direct with less passes used to get the ball back to front. Forest, Bournemouth good examples but also Palace, Fulham.  Far less tiki taka.  

I will wait until next season and a summer's window and at least a couple of months into next season before giving a yes/no verdict but at this stage its looking more negative than positive in terms of hopes.  

 

 

Not sure how you’re seeing any comparison to us and Man City unless it’s from the 2001 season

Nick on C&B has officially gone Potter out

 

 

I’m definitely Potter in then if that no mark fat cսnt is Potter out. 

it’s shit at the moment, but Potter has to have a summer window. What’s the point in trusting the midget perv to bring in anyone better? We’ll all be here moaning this time next season if someone else is thrown in the dugout come August. 

The problem for the last 16 years is the same people who ‘saved us’. Everything wrong with the club you can pin to the perv, the corpse and the slag.

[RootsRadical]

I said at the time he was sacked that Loppy should have been given until the end of the season to see how it looked then.
They were mostly his players and he is known for being a slow starter at clubs before improving.
I don't think we would be any worse off than we are now and would have expected to see some improvement as he has a decent record.
If it didn't improve by May then that was the time to appoint a new manager when he can shift out players and bring ones in he wants with a full pre season.
I also said at the time Potter was appointed after his first interview that he still looked shell shocked by what happened at Chelsea.
As for sacking him now, I don't agree.
We are not Watford or Chelsea changing managers 2 or 3 times a season which invariably is a downward spiral.
He needs the summer to get the squad built more in his image and work with them, if no improvement by Xmas and we are still hovering around the bottom then it can be looked at then.

I recall Brady declaring that he could be our manager for the next 10 years before he'd even taken his first game which sums the club up in a nut shell.



 

[THUNDERCLINT]

If we somehow get to have a decent transfer window next summer then no doubt results will improve. But wouldn't they under any manager? With "his team" in place the style of football won't change from what we see now because this is how he always has his teams play. I wrote the below on the day he was appointed, so it was clearly predictable from the start how he would set the team up and how most of our fans would respond to it.

Hope I'm wrong but I'm not expecting to be blown away by the style of football. Expect it will be much like Pellegrini's and Lopetegui's, focusing on keeping possession and slowly recycling the ball, hoping for an opening. Meanwhile the opposition defence has had time to park the bus and the attack ends with a desperate attempt from distance or a cross going nowhere. 

West Ham fans say they like possession based football, playing out from the back, etc. but really most like a more direct style of play, not dithering about but getting the ball quickly into the final third, like we often saw under Redknapp, Pardew and Bilic.

You nailed it.

Sadly the financials mean dismissal without a break clause is a non-starter.

The only other hope is the arrogant flake's ego can't handle the criticism his gutless, insipid football deserves, he mentally implodes and walks.

Meanwhile Spurs beat us to Iraola and Brady fellates Dyche and Ange.

Agree with that, ironically for about a season each we played some of our most exciting football in my living memory under Moyes and Allardyce, trouble is it was one track and once teams learn and prep for it it becomes some of the worst to endure watching

Way too kneejerky, this isn't his team yet and the vitriolic tantrums should be saved for a couple of out "star" players 

Half the problem is the team have absolutely nothing to play for apart from pride and not enough of them are concerned about that anyway 

[SnarestoneIron]

I didn't see the 4ft russian dwarf on the pitch!

[goose]

He’s not gonna get sacked, but I’m far from impressed by what I’ve seen.

We’re more solid defensively but that seems to have been achieved by just getting more bodies behind the ball. We do not have a clue how to attack teams. The players we have are not THAT bad, a decent coach should be able to get some kind of performance out of them.

I don’t think I’ve seen us put a performance together since Newcastle away.

As a club we’re fast approaching a season and a half of utter dog shit.

[honky cat]

And who's to say that Potter wants to stay after the end of the season?

i didnt want to say anything but he has seemed less interested the last couple of games.
Maybe he's seen enough and just more concerned with who he is bringing in next season . . 

[Manuel]

It was poor defending by Sullivan for the Wolves goal, so let's not put this shit all on Potter.

I couldn't give one fuck if he stays or goes, the reality is it's game over for us and has been for a while. Close the club down.
