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.

[Mad Dog]

I genuinely cant believe potter has been this bad.  But then again its west ham and tower have the opposite of the midus touch

I would like to point out that the only reason I said potter would be a disaster as soon as he joined was so I could beat coyi to the punch as he was clearly going to do it early and say he called it.

Taking off Fernandes and Summerville whilst keeping his pet favourite still on the pitch till the very end was next level cuntery from Potter.

This is why most decent business just have absolute metrics about what good performance means and don't do this whole "on vibes" shit that our club (and many other football teams) seem to get caught up in.

I (and many of us here) pointed out at least 3 or 4 months in to his job he wasn't any good. By the end of the season it was obvious he was a poor manager at this level by any metric you could find. Pulling in his performance at Chelsea cemented the idea that at this level (I.e. a Top 20 world football club with actual expectations beyond staying in the top league) he was not capable.

I posted on here a few weeks back that most teams take the form into the next season if there isnt significant change (pre-season seems meaningless), and lo and behold, stats proved that right again with Potter.

But if you're on "vibes" you go with all the "Fergie took ages at Man Utd" stuff (forgetting how he beat the old firm with Adberdeen and had the credibility before hand). I think Potters whole PR is that he is sort of unusual for an English manager to prove himself abroad before coming here and we all want a British manager to be up there with the Peps and Klopps etc.. I get that. A bit like why people like Rodgers so much.

But there are levels to this shit. And the PL with a pretty big team is a whole different world and requires more than most other jobs in world football. It's not a terrible thing to not be able to cut it here. You have to be exceptional at it to survive and most managers get the sack at some point. 

We should just let AI or some other algorithm pick our manager to be honest. If we did he would have been gone by April.

Most gave up on Sullivan ages ago if they ever believed in him but hoped maybe Potter would wake up at some point
The sacked in the morning chant yesterday when he kept JWP on & hooked Fernandes & Summerville was just a demonstration of the last straw for anyone who still had a hope
Cant believe he hasn’t gone yet

[Massive Attack]

Lots of people like scoring I was right all along points 
Some seem to revel in our failure to prove that

I think there is 100% support now that Sullivan Brady & Potter need to go and the club needs to get up off its knees
The fans need to unite in driving them out before it’s too late

 

 

That is the one real sad positive I do take comfort from that the fanbase now has had enough of all the nonsense. The snowball has already turned into a boulder and the momentum of it cannot be stopped now. 

[Vexed]

A few silly cunts getting caught out by the search facility of the new sort of working WHO. Gawd bless you old folk.

To be fair to Come on you Irons, loads of fans wanted him and were very happy he rocked up like a breathe of fresh air. 

As soon as he started bullshitting to the fans in press conferences (can't remember what one, but it was early on/january), I was done

[Massive Attack]

Potter talks a good game. He’s hoodwinked a lot of people with some of his word salads. No point in point scoring now, we just need someone (Sullivan) to put it right. 

 

 

Problem I've got with it Simon is this has set us right back now and was totally avoidable had we not panicked in to getting him in the first place. We could have waited till the end of last season then calmly sorted another much better Manager with a full Summer Transfer window ahead of them. Now we are desperately scrambling around for managers we once sacked again or begging on our knees for Nuno to manage us even though there's a good chance he turns up our offer because of the state we are now in. We have also paid an absolute fortune for both Potter, MacCauley and all their useless shitcunt Staff. All of it makes my blood boil as it was so preventable.

[Tomshardware]

People churning up old posts about who said what. As pathetic as the running of our club.

The only good thing about what Sullivan is doing by hanging on to Potter is he’s just proving our point, 
the eyes of the worlds media are now on him, it’s finally being reported that the fan base consider him the most incompetent chairman in world football, which he’s not remotely happy about and to prove us wrong he’s decided to continue to employ the worst manager in the clubs history 
that’s like trying to prove you don’t have anger issues by threatening anyone that says you do

Yes, in terms of the managers being rumoured with the job in December I felt Potter would be worth a punt, especially as is our first English manager since Allardyce. But I expressed reservations from the start, so yes I did call him out from start.

You said ‘ good to have a proper manager’ after the first game again villa in fa cup. Your self congratulatory shit is embarrassing mate.

[goose]

you called him out as your choice of manager.

that's why you said 'potter for me'.

I've just looked at the League Table and see we are the Team that has conceded the most goals now with 13 after only 5 games.

That's not even including the 3 we chucked in our net vs Wolves, the Team currently rock bottom of the League with zero points to their name. 

Potter's breaking all kinds of records.

The other day, I asked a couple of obvious part-timers/tourists who was playing when they watched us against Chelsea. The only player they could name correctly was Bowen - and I'm sure one of them didn't even know his first name. But they did buy some "merch". So that was great.

It was a good-humoured discussion, but the serious point is that it's worrying. You don't even want to know how they tripped over Wan-Bissaka's name! By the end of the chat, he was dubbed "one potato".

 

I'm guessing the clueless Tourists you spoke to at the Stadium go by the name of Graham Potter and Bruno Saltor?

Ag ag ag!

Might as well have been!

[goose]

I called this fraud out from the start. He's an absolute joke of a manager and makes 'loser Lop' look competent.

A competent board would have fired him this summer.

By calling him out from the start you mean saying “potter for me”.

you fucking mong.

[Vexed]

Vexed, you boasted about your Pine script momentum trading. The arse fell out the market a few months later. How did that go? 

I've never momentum traded. I have used pinescript though. Your memory is failing you. 

[Massive Attack]

How did Potter make it into being a head coach?

 

Potter knows how to “manage up”. Thats his great skill. He gets on with his bosses and knows how to talk their language and make them feel good. He knows how to deliver bad news and deflect from his responsibility for that bad news. 

He’s thrown valuable squad members under the buss to deflect from his inability to manage the situation. He probably explained to the board that the club was in a dire situation and he wouldn’t be able to turn it around dramatically last season but in the new season with his changes, we’d be flying. Which would explain why they didnt just fire him at the end of the season. Also, probably why he got the contract extension he asked for before joining as he would have said this magical turnaround he’s planning couldn’t be done without a preseason and transfer window etc 

He just seems like a typical corporate manager who happens to be leading a football squad instead of some IT team. He pulled their pants down. He also got 40m off Chelsea I believe so he’s probably the most successful manager West Ham have ever had if you think about it!

In other words a brown nosing arse licker. 

[El Scorchio]

Yet another goal from a set piece
JWP again
Another loss

He's got to be gone by the international break. I’m shocked at how bad his response to the problems has been. 

[Massive Attack]

I thought diouf worked hard yesterday too

Apart from not being able to take a fucking Throw-in, I thought he worked like a dog embarrassing most of his other Team Mates. It was actually giving me the right hump seeing him do everyones job as well as his own out there as 1 of the new players not played in this League before.
