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.

[Massive Attack]

Yeah he rabbits on in the same breath about how there's been improvements but definitely not in points, or where we now find ourselves in the table. But at least we can take some comfort by being able to cover our toes with an ill fitting security blanket by not conceding as many goals, as the rest of our body goes in to anaphylactic shock from watching mind numbing Football.

Look out for the moment Graham Partridges rape alarm suddenly goes off and uses a weird metaphor about how managing us is like trying to sleep with a blanket that's too small..

Turned it off when he said there’s been improvements since he’s been in charge albeit not in points 

that’s called no fucking improvements, shoving everyone in defence to stop letting in so many goals which in turn stops you from scoring goals and getting less points because of it, isn’t an improvement in any shape or form.

I despise this bloke with a passion

It’s absolute nonsense to pretend Lopetegui wasn’t responsible for our summer signings. The club did not buy players he didn’t want. 
 

[Eerie Decent]

Both managers are shit.

[Massive Attack]

Fuck all obtuse about it, I've tried to keep it about Potter to begin with and it was you that was determined to make it about the previous manager. And you then didn't like it when we actually examine who we forked out most of the budget on and that it wasn't all by the previous manager you'd like to believe it was.

[onsideman]

Nowhere to go, be obtuse. Nice one

[Massive Attack]

I thought this was a Potter thread, yet you keep going back to the previous manager having originally brought him up about spunking most of the money that was mainly down to Steidten and Sullivan before him.

[onsideman]

...and your man Lopetegui was responsible for Kilman, Soler and Rodriguez and - unless he's a man with no integrity who was happy to quietly take the dollar whilst disagreeing with his paymasters -  was presumably happy to retain the ones already there and sanctioned all the other new arrivals

[Massive Attack]

I knew you'd struggle to argue how all that money was spent. Steidten is your man to blame for that.

[onsideman]

Apart from the diabolical state of the inherited squad, curated in part by his money-spunking predecessor 

Kudus - £38M
Fullkrug - £27M
Guilherme - £25M
Todibo - £35M (if we triggered his option to buy)
​​Mavropanos- £19M

That's £144M money spunked by our former head of recruitment. 

And it can even be levelled at him wanting to bring in Alvarez too, although some dispute it being more Nobles man - a joint decision that certainly wasn't Lopetegui's at another cool £35M big ones which would take the grand total up to £179M..

Apart from £40M spent on Kilman I'm struggling to see who else Lopetegui spent millions on in the Squad. I think you're complaining more about the wrong money-spunker.

Tick tock onsideman, it was you who originally brought up the wrong employee for spunking away so much money attributing it to the wrong person...  

I said "curated in part"
Tough to argue with that I would suggest... 

[Eerie Decent]

Brighton fan done a video with the lad on Hammerschat.

Didn't exactly go in on him as a manager for a club like Brighton, good and bad points.

However, as I've suggested, doesn't think he's a good fit for a club like ours, with a (rightly) demanding fanbase.

Nice guy, but the geezer doesn't have the gumption for West Ham. Might finish mid table next season, but bored to tears in the process.

He really couldn't have walked in to a much better non-pressured situation than the moment he did.

[onsideman]

This isn't a discussion around semantics.

You've slated the quality and attitude of the squad - curated in part by your hero, Lopetegui - yet you refuse  to take that into consideration when stating that Potter couldn't have walked into a better situation.

I think we have a dreadful squad.

Potter has been fucking underwhelming, no doubt about that, but you obviously dislike him as much as you had the horn for Lopetegui so I wouldn't expect anything else tbh.

 

[Massive Attack]

But on another thread you've stated that only 4 members of the squad are worthy of their places. Of course you need to include all the metrics, it's a nonsense statement otherwise 

No I didn't, you struggle to pay attention. Where did I say only 4 Squad players are worthy of their places? I said 4 have performed well and showed the right attitude this season alone where others haven't come up to the mark for a number of reasons and aren't all a write off if managed well. Keep up.

Your heads probably still spinning from the list of players that Steidten spunked fantastic money on for little return you avoided to respond to...

So he could have walked into a better situation then?
Make your mind up

14th without a serious threat of relegation with plenty of points to still up for grabs to get in to Europe with zero pressure with the use of most of a Squad that managed to finish 9th only half a season earlier with plenty of backing. Keep up.

He really couldn't have walked in to a much better non-pressured situation than the moment he did. It was all there for him to get us playing some entertaining Football without much fear of relegation and he manages to serve up some of the worst Football seen this season instead. Which is quite some going considering the Premier League this season has never been as dogshit as this one. What a wasted opportunity but not at all surprising. 

[Mad Ferret]

We ended up sacking Moyes and employing the Spanish Moyes, sacking him and employing the English Lopetegui.

Bizarre indeed.

[Eerie Decent]

Exactly where I'm at, Rossal.

If he took over with us in a relegation battle, you could understand us going all out negative, like he has.

Instead, 14th in the league, no threat of relegation because of the 3 diabolical teams down there, an England international forward at your disposal, Kudus, Paqueta, yet he's shut up shop and made us the worst attacking team in the whole league.

Given the last couple of years, he didn't need to do a lot to keep us onside. Play his cuntball away, attack teams at home. Results wouldn't have mattered had we seen him giving it a go at our place, he had the PERFECT situation.

Absolutely baffling.

[Rossal]

I am with Eerie, amazed some people want to give him millions and the summer still. 

Yes the club is in a bit of shit at the moment, but the main doom and gloom is the shit we're watching on the pitch week in week out. On the pitch the whole season has been abysmal. We're watching shit players in a shit system play shit football and get shit results and the majority of that falls on the manager. 

Potter has had months of training, no pressure from the drop and a few international breaks to stamp his mark on this squad. What exactly are we better at now than when he came in.....we don't concede as much that's literally it is it? 

Since his first game in charge where to be fair we looked decent we haven't scored 3 goals. We've only managed more than one against Leicester and Bournemouth. Not a single away game we've managed to score more than once. 

The tactics are shit, the subs sometimes are baffling and we can't create fuck all. Its just sideways and backwards till it goes wide. 

The dressing room seems a mess, there must be discontent after the Fullkrug interview.....then he basically admits half the team aint listening to the manager and they areent playing for him 

and some want to give him millions and oversee a huge rebuild in the summer?   I thought after a few years off and this being a pivotol moment in his prem career he would turn up all guns firing and get a real tune out of us till the end of the season. 

But like the team he has woefully underperformed. To see a turnaround anywhere near whats needed to even stay in the division next season seems unlikely to me. 

Fuck him off, go buy a decent manager off another club and one that can actually coach a fucking football team to defend and score goals. 

 

[Massive Attack]

one of my biggest problems with Moyes was the inevitable driving away of talented players (mostly strikers), because of his style of football. it's happening again, so don't be shocked if Bowen fucks off if a club shows interest
​​​​​​

 

 

It's sadly getting to a point where we'd be surprised if he didn't want to go elsewhere with much less hassle and more of a good chance to win Silverware especially in the Champions League where his ability should belong. At this moment in time he's completely wasting his talent just 1 place outside the relegation zone. Such is the class of the bloke and genuine love for the Club that he won't admit it to himself or kick up a stink for a move.
