Potter Sacked!

[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.

I fancy if we get badly humbled in the League Cup, he isn’t here for the weekend. If I wasn’t so desperate for a cup run, it would almost be worth it. I’m sick to death of this “has two games, three games” charade every time. What if he wins to next two, followed by two defeats? Constantly delaying the inevitable. 

Walking out after the fourth on Friday was the same feeling as the 6-0 vs Arsenal under Moyes. There is no coming back. 

[Sydney_Iron]

I dread to think who Sullivan has in mind to replace Potter? As lets face it the crab man is fucked.

Not sure he would go for Dyche surely he isn’t stupid enough to do that but who else would tick the Sulli boxes??? 

[goose]

That’s him fucked then.

Just watching Di Canio talking about the Como v Lazio game, fuck it let’s get him in.

can’t be worse than CPP and would put multiple rockets up multiple people.

It has to be someone like him at this point. Someone who proper gets our Club and knows how it ticks. 

Carrick
Di Canio 

These are the types I'd sooner be in charge than the gutless clueless Potter. Seriously cannot do any worse.

Brooking hadn't managed, no coaching badges but he knew what it took to represent our Club and get the best out of players inspiring them. Heart, passion, flair, fight THE FUCKING WEST HAM WAY.

Nico Paz looks a player btw.

Reading that Sullivan has given Potter 2 games to turn things around, or show he can! Seems pretty obvious to most fans he can’t but this kind of goes against the grain of what Brady was spouting that West Ham dontt make rash decisions and will give Potter time blah blah

You can see why we are a mess with such mixed messages, let alone the lack of incoming transfers and scattergun approach we seem to take.

West Ham have been gutted by these cunts, no home and a soulless shadow of what we where.

RIP


 

She would say that wouldn't she (to paraphrase Mandy Rice-Davies) it was on her recommendation that the cսnt was hired.

[aldgate]

He’s out of his depth and been rumbled. We all know it and so does the rest of the league. ‘potter ball’ doesn’t work any more with the right players. With the wrong ones it’s a total disaster. Forest walk through us then the spurs game will be toxic and even Sullivan will have to react. We pay off another managers contract early because they are crap rather than paying off a managers contract with their existing club because they are good. Sullivan is a classic narcissist who thinks doing well in one business makes him a genius at everything

No use changing the manager without improving the squad. The reality is that it’s not good players being mismanaged it’s more like not very good players struggling to cope. The game, as played in the Prem in the last few years, has moved on but we have as a club not moved on with it. This really became noticeable in the last season and a half with Moyes but now it is written large and unless we bring in a couple of competitive, energetic, midfielders we are toast.

 

 

 For the love of god.. the players are fine!
we have enough good players to not ship 3 goals against Sunderland and 5 against Chelsea. 
We have 3 CB’s we paid about 90m for! We have have one of the best performing CB’s in la liga last year. 
it may not be the exact group of players to play “Potter ball” or whatever the fuck he’s trying to do, but it’s a good enough squad to compete seriously in this league. 
The way Potters set up you would need prime xavi and ineista in midfield to make it make sense. He’s literally asking two slow CM’s not renknowed from their creativity to progress the ball into the final third completely outnumbered. It’s mental. That’s why JWP can only pass back or sideways. He’s not stupid, he can’t dribble through players with the ball to make space, that’s not his game. (Strangely enough only Fearon and Potts were doing anything like what is required in pre season for potters system to work, haven’t seen fear on since… very strange!)

goto a back 4 and now there’s an extra man, problem solved.. but no potters spent money on wingbacks so it HAS to be that. 

Bad management and coaching. Nothing to do with squad here.

Would you agree that the sign of a good manager ISN'T MAKING THE FUCKING CUNTS YOU INHERIT WORSE THAN THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY? If you do agree, then shut the fuck up because there clearly is a point. If you don't agree then you should also shut the fucking fuck up. Fuckin idiot talk. That squad ain't certain relegation bad, I aint having it. Add a centre mid and we should survive with competent management. But we have Potter. 

[goose]

If coaches cannot improve players then what’s the point of them?

Nearest I think we get to a cohesive side at this point is:

Areola

Wan Bissaka Mavropanos Kilman Aguerd

Soucek (c)  Potts

Bowen            Paqueta             Diouf

Fullkrug

Not a great line up by any means, but Mavropanos and Kilman are our best at heading the ball, Aguerd at left back has the pace and ability to play fullback and would let Diouf (our best crosser) stay high and deliver balls into the box, Paqueta gets a free role, Bowen is back wide right where he's most effective, Fullkrug gets some service, and Potts can do Soucek's running who at least has the discipline to shield at the base of midfield.

With what we have, that would be my lineup as things stand.

Agree with the vast majority of that, Stubbo.

Sorry state of affairs. But, unless we take a big risk with some of the kids, I’d say that’s the best available mix from an extremely poor squad.

Like being the most handsome men in the burns unit.

[Swiss.]

We got the wrong Potter, should have got Harry.

Or Beatrix . A dug up corpse would have a better clue than this clown. 

[Vexed]

We have a young striker who would improve our side instantly, his name is Callum Marshall.

 

 

While he's better than Wilson, he's not going to move the needle as much as we need. I'd bring him on though. I genuinely don't see a way forward for this team under Potter. Nobody wants to join us, we've been blown out by about thirty players now. We seemingly are potless somehow. All the other teams scraping around at the bottom are picking up points and looking competent. Never been so sure that we're getting relegated, even under Grant we looked more promising.

Fucking hell, 1st I've seen of this article. 

 

It’s interesting now that the press seem to focusing on his actual ownership rather than whatever manager is in place. Will the  embarrassment be the only thing that makes him do the right thing? (Probably not if you’ve made your living as a pornographer being embarrassed is probably not something you care about) 

We've all seen the current bird he seems proud to knock around with... embarrassment clearly ain't an issue in his case

If we can get that CDM be it Onyedika or one of the other numerous ones we've been linked with then all we need is a young striker and it's still not great by any means but does begin to look better on paper.

 

 

You can forget Potter playing a team like that though,
he won’t deviate from 5 at the back or playing Ward-Prowse

When you look at Potter's actual record it Brighton...pretty reading it does not make.

Season 1....41 points, 39 goals. 
Season 2...41 points, 40 goals
Season 3....6 games....departs for Chelsea.



 

I'm sure it's not deliberate but you seem to have missed out his one actually decent season at Brighton. He left at the start of season 4. Season 3 they finished 9th with 51 points. They scored just 42 goals even then though, only 4 teams scoring fewer that season. The following season when he left they scored 72, which tells its own story.
