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.

[Sir Alf]

Im trying in desperation to stick with my original position of allowing Potter the summer window, preseason and a couple of months before making a final call on him but thats gonna happen anyway with our owner.  There are 2? crumbs of comfort. We concede less and keep possession of the ball better although exclusively in our own half. Is this latter crumb actually an improvement? But thats it. Some of the players we have have perhaps lost belief in what Potter wants if they had any in the first place. Has Alvarez downed tools or genuinely injured?

We should have lost 1-3 or 4 based on the chances they missed yesterday.  Based on that game we are arguably the worst team in the division.

Nothing left to be said ( even me ), nothing we can do other than not renew season tickets and protest but whats the point? The next appointment off the scrap heap will be as bad, perhaps worse.  

We need a miracle summer transfer window which woth Sullivan as de facto DOF and chief negotiator is in the “pigs might fly” category.

[THUNDERCLINT]

If he shits himself this much when 1 - 0 up against the bottom team in the league when there is no pressure at all, I dread to think what's going to happen next season when he has to get points on the board to keep us up.

The signs have been there. The disgrace of the last half hour against 10 men at Arsenal. We got North of our 18 yard line 4 or 5 times. Crossed the half way line about once and had about 15 touches of the ball. Total coward.

He needs to go.

[Fauxstralian]

Who was available in January?
We know what we need but it’s getting the right ones
More likely in the summer, no?

 

[Eerie Decent]

Who would you have bought in January to address these obvious problems?
No excuses not to have players sourced & in the door July 1

I've already told you, a fast dynamic midfielder and a fast forward. Not Evan Ferguson, who he wanted but won't play.

But again, let's not let that get in the way of the core issues here. We have a shit chairman, and not the best squad, but we are not one of the worst squads to ever grace the Premier League. That's the standard this manager has taken us to. We are not just shit, but we are also more boring now than we've ever been, and we've had Allardyce & Moyes as managers.

[Maverick180180]

Kumb is a blinding read this morning 
general consensus is that West Ham do indeed have the worst squad outside of the bottom 3
which then would mean we sacked Lopetegui for overachieving

I didn’t have a problem in not trying to bringing players in in January when few are available…. unless you are Villa in the Champions league with Ascencio & Rashford
But it means we have had 6 months to see the massive holes & to line up players
But will we see endless pursuits of players who aren’t coming (Angel Gomes , David maybe) & lots of ‘we tried’? Probably

 

I do have a problem when there are some glaring issues in the squad, pace being one.

We needed a quick mobile midfielder, and a quick forward. A fucking blind man could see it. Anyway, it's by the by, this squad is good enough to be better than being as shit as 3 of the worst teams you'll ever see in the Prem.

The Wolves manager took them from being down with those 3 shittest teams ever, to making Wolves a good attacking team who try to win games. Their players all looked completely disinterested and not bothered, now they are giving it their absolute all for their new manager.

Beige Graham couldn't inspire a Labrador to chase a tennis ball.

Greyham could make the Labrador slowly nudge the ball sideway and backwards slower than your tortoise.

As bad as the performance was we were still likely to get three points before he sabotaged it 

I think Fullkrug is talking shit when he says that's not what the manager wants, his subs said something entirely different. 

Indeed, we were shit but winning until clownfraud Potter's yellow streak shone through and he went ultra-coward.

If Fulle is telling the truth it means the Potter cսnt has already lost the dressing room.

[Maverick180180]

Sits rock bottom out of every manager that has ever managed West Ham for win ratio, loss ratio and goals per game 
that takes some doing

I've backed Potter up to now but there is no defending a performance like yesterday.  

[Eerie Decent]

I hadn't realised that we're now up to 16th after that lucky point yesterday and the mighty Saints.

Panic over.

[Eerie Decent]

Clearly we do need a massive overhaul of players (despite what some on here have said) but let's get it right, this squad of players were under-performing under the previous manager, which is why he got sacked, with the team in 13th place.

Just for clarity, because many seem blind to it, we're now 17th (SEVENTEENTH) after 14 games under this clown. He's made us as bad as the 3 teams below us, some of the worst in Prem history. Not to worry though, we're conceding less.

He had a transfer window, anyone who watches any sort of football knew what we needed, except for him apparently, and that's also after some time with the squad. All he wanted a striker he knew, and he's barely played him. That and getting JWP back.

Relegation fodder next season, regardless of who we sign, if this manager is still in charge.

[Fauxstralian]

The club is going nowhere until Sullivan goes
In the meantime Potter is just another deck chair being shuffled on the Titanic
We will join the 3 promoted teams as relegation favourites next season unless the team changes radically 
The likelihood of that happening with Sullivan back as Director of Football? Slim 

[THUNDERCLINT]

Potter is not the problem!

5 years of mismanagement of the squad and defensive minded football is to blame.

Give Potter 5 years, he will need it.

When you're worse than Flopetegui you are most definitely the problem.

For all the problems the squad has they've proven they're better than this.

The Potter cսnt and his crab ball are more defensive than anyone.

He's already had 5 games too many so fuck five years.

[Manuel]

It's never sullivan's fault, never

Really? I'm always reading on here that this mess is all down to Sullivan.

We seem to have reached a point now where we've run out of words and ideas, hopes etc, it's a mess from top to bottom. Potter clearly isn't the answer, at this point I'm saying the jury is no longer out on him, it ain't gonna work, end of. When you are one up at home against possibly the worst PL side in history and then make defensive subs to see the game out and are hanging on at the end for a draw and he then comes out and says he is ''disappointed'' then the game is over. I still say he is still scarred from what happened to him at Chelsea, you can see he has no believe in himself, out of his depth. Look at his body language on the touchline, he's a fucking PE teacher.

Potter will stay, Sullivan will stay and we are stuck in that shithole bowl, there is no hope for the future. Sacking Potter and bringing in someone else will be a waste of time. The only way out of this is to close up the club. It's done. We should never have left Upton Park, now we have nothing. 

I'm out of here, nothing left to talk about.

[Sydney_Iron]

I was one of those that thought Potter was a good appointment for us but after this run of results and the performances put in (didn't watch this game but can get the gist from reports and posts) something is very wrong, fuck knows if that's down to Potter, the Borad, the players or a combination?

Personally, couldn't give a fuck about the remaining games, if anything it may be beneficial if we hit rock bottom now rather than next season, not like relegation is happening and it may prompt the club/players to sort this mess out, win the last few games and they will do fuck all.

Fuck knows if Potter should stay or not but right now Lopetegui did a better job, and that's saying something!

Never in my life have i wanted us to do badly in games, so a first for me, but this season has been the worst i can remember, even the relegation seasons i didn't feel so fucked off with the football, at least we went down fighting, surrendered both Cups and from the first game against Villa we have been shit in the league for almost every game, how the fuck we beat Arsenal away is mind boggling.

 

[Keep dreaming]

There's a rumour knocking about that Potter was carpeted after the game and told the summer budget is going to be reduced, drastically, following recent results as a hedge against relegation next season unless we win the majority of the remaining games.

If thaat's true sounds like Sullivan's trying to get him to walk.

Utter bullshit.

[Eerie Decent]

The worst bit about today isn't actually the result or the performance, madly. Myself and a couple of others knew that was coming. We've been in relegation form since he joined, it's bizarre many don't seem to understand that, just because we're conceding less goals. As if scoring goals is not what actually matters.

Anyway, no, that's not the worst thing. The worst thing was Potter's post match interview.

'Disappointed & frustrated'

Fucking hell!

At least our striker is fucking fuming, even if Beige Graham isn't. I wanted him to be absolutely livid with that. But little more than a shrug of the shoulders, he's disappointed. Ah, bless him. Sums him up really, and it's why it will be more of the same next season.

[Takashi Miike]

I think the dwarf gave up the luxury of sucking it up when he moved us to that shithole, he built the expectation level and now needs to match it. If he doesn't know how to identify a decent manager, hire someone to do it. remember, this is the cսnt that will be overseeing player recruitment in a few months

[Sir Alf]

Im not saying I would keep Potter just that its 99% likely he will be with us the start of next season.  Sullivan wont replace him so you have to pray for a miracle in the transfer market over the summer to get players that can improve us in spite of who is manager.  Which is why the odds are on us having another relegation flirtation yet again. Pessimism or realism? Both.
