Why?  Genuine question.... 

Least Dyche would have a style of play and would be a bit inspiring. I would hate the Dyche appointment, but i reckon i'd back him to get more points than Potter will with this squad over 38 games. I also reckon they'd show more fight and desire playing for Dyche

Potter has been here months, he has signings, he has changed the formation,  and we're still absolutely fucking dreadful. Players want out, thats how inspired they've been by his pre season. 

Like Lopetuigui, Its starting to feel like  'well they can't be any worse can they?'  

 

He has signings? He has Mads and Diouf, Wilson was not his signing and nor was Todibo.

He has given a list of targets to the club but they won't pay for them.

The fact you think Dyche is an upgrade is rather sad, we wanted Moyes gone because his style of football was so dull and you want to replace him with Moyes 2.0..........grind out some 1-0 wins.

I would rather be relegated and start again with a new younger, hungrier manager......and new owners.

But you just told me that they wont get a young hungry manager? 

I doubt Sullivan sells if we drop, he will use the parachute money to try and come back up and then maybe sell. 

so for me i'd rather stay up with Dyche then go down with Potter. For me personally out stadium in the championship will be awful, we dont have a spine that we can rely on to stay and i don't back the owners getting in the right manager or being good enough in the transfer market to build a promotion capable squad. 

They won't get a young hungry manager now, they would rather get someone who will bore us all to death and get us a 17th place finish. The only way we get an upcoming manager is if we are relegated. Noble probably

I fucking hate supporting West ham sometimes 

 

I have no issue with a loan to buy deal plus it get's his wages off the bill and frees up some more money for a new signing or three.

That’s because you’re an idiot.

Being picked off by Palace … what a time to be alive

But could you just imagine it though..

In the space of just 2 years since we lucked out with the Conference Cup BS manage to sell Rice to Arsenal, Kudus to Spurs and Paqueta to Palace. 

The entire joint would fucking go OFF.

Have a long hard think about what you just wrote and then consider this, if Potter gets sacked who will be his replacement? Don't think for a minute it will be some young up and coming manager who wants to play attractive football because it won't be. It will be Dyche or Cooper.

I'd rather stick with Potter for now.

IF we are a bit strapped for cash why would you waste any funds supporting a manager and getting in players for a bloke who will be gone in a month or two anyway. 

Its an absolute shit show whatever way you look at it

We need mobile physical midfielders. I’d even take Bissouma on loan after he has fallen out of favour at Tottenham 
Was good at Brighton but has never really fit there
Presume Potter knows him and what he can do

All looks solid to me, Massive. But you do also have to add Aguerd, Cornet and Ward-Prowse back onto the wage bill. They were mostly off it last season - hence we had the capacity to bring Soler expensively etc.

I won’t pretend to be an expert on our accounts. But I can believe 100% the idea that we’re a bit of a financial shower. PSR, cash flow…whatever the reason, I can believe our board - which overspends on shite, under-invests in young talent etc and rewards crap agents - is not covering itself in glory.

Sir Alf" wrote: ↑19 Aug 2025, 08:48 Its not Potter and Macaulay holding up transfer dealings. They have identified areas to strengthen and provided lists of players. The ITKs confirmed that and even Brady this week with her “we cannot bring in players Potter and Macaulay dont approve”. Inadvertently in an attempt to deflect blame from Sullivan, herself and board members she indicates that Potter has to agree and that they cannot keep  thrusting Sully/ Salthouse specials like Wilson onto the manager. 

Its Sullivan and relates to finances and his negotiation and deal making not target identification of the Head of Recruitment Macaulay and the manager Potter. The precise reason is hard to pinpoint as there is so much misinformation and media manipulation from Sullivan. But its not PSR.  There’s no ready cash ( liquidity) it would seem or if there is Sullivan just wont spend without getting cash in the door. 

A whole separate discussion can be had  about the root causes but suffice to say its our CEO and Chairman and their incompetence. There are library shelves full if books explaining how companies fail and it always comes back to the leadership and lack if planning, inability to execute those plans ( implement via hiring of expertise, in football the key is recruitment investing wisely to align with the strategy and operational plans to support that strategy). Leadership success is also about communication, avoiding hierarchy, getting things done thru otjers, listening, securing the resources for employees and having the humility to get out of the way.  Sullivan is the polar opposite. His appalling incompetence and leadership has caught up financially. The pay day loan, loans against future revenue, disasterous recruitment investment, and above all else his refusal to see or realise his part in our dimise means one thing a company failing. It goes out of business or gets taken over in other industries but in football its relegation leading to financial catastrophe. We could easily be there soon.  The most depressing thing is he and Brady spend most of their energy deflecting blame from themselves thru propaganda. Their lack of self awareness us something to behold. 

Why use 10 words when 100 will do
