C & H reporting "car crash presser" and "Potter looks broken" at the crack dawn this morning. If Sullivan smells blood and sense he can get him to walk this is going to get real ugly, real fast.

For the sake of his own health Potter probably should walk, he clearly can't cope now nevermind when Sully start laying it on. For all Moyes' faults his mental strength must have been formidable and his skin thicker than the Earth's crust. 

I can see a real tragic demise coming here.

There's is no way back from that. Here's a man who, as Mike just pointed out, is the Co-Director of the PFA Business School's Football Psychology, Emotional Intelligence and Leadership program and he just held a press conference where he behaved like spoiled toddler ask to explain why he smeared dog shit all over the kitchen floor.

Well it would def help. But as shit as Spurs are does anyone really think with their attacking players we ain't gonna concede a few to them?? I don't see us beating them at all.

I can't get over how shit Kilman is.

He was useless and we wouldn't have been better off keeping him. But Potter hasn't worked out either.

He ain’t going anywhere though is he, we all know that.
he gets the pass of they ain’t my players” etc etc.  
reality is and it’s the cycle at West Ham, Sullivan doesn’t rate him so he won’t back him.  
if we’re not 4th favourites for the drop next season then lump on.

At least Lopetegui used to lump one of his players once in a while to get a reaction. 😉

He’s nowhere near intelligent enough to be an academic. He’s just got verbal diarrhoea. That’s a very different thing.

I’ve never known a manager, of ours, to say so much without being able to deliver anything on the pitch.
I want to know what England managers with ''fire and dynamism'' did better than Southgate?
It’s a fair question!

For all of his waistcoat-wearing beige Coldplay-ness, Southgate did deliver two finals, a semi-final and a quarter final in four major tournaments.

My problem with Potter is that it’s all words and absolutely no delivery. Hot air.

Needed nearly 3 years to 'recover mentally' from getting pumped by Chelsea. And he looks mentally done here after 4 months.

Geezer doesn't have the minerals for a club like West Ham. Never has done, never will do.

This is all a complete disaster. We can't be out looking for a manager again FFS. 
Fair enough he has a shit unbalanced squad. And I've backed him until today.  But the subs and selections he makes every week are incomprehensible.

Irving was competent  v  chelsea, never to be seen again. Cresswell, old but solid and shored up the defence. Again, dropped. Putting coufal on for a left back was the last straw for me. Kilman is the stinker, not Mav. He needs to be gone.

So where now. Who will come here. For a few years I've seen young mid priced decent players go anywhere but West Ham. They'd sooner go to Fulham, forest, Bournemouth, Palace etc  Theres something really wrong at West Ham.

He has the bearing of an academic in the same way Sullivan has the bearing of an icon of female empowerment.

The man is a walking case study for Dunning-Kruger. He didn't have the intelligence or humility to understand how Brighton's (a club that a Labrador could manage successfully) infrastructure elevated his own meager ability.

This is why he failed at Chelsea and is drowning now, his hubris and arrogance never allowed him to comprehend that other people made him successful.

It's got to the point with Potter now that maybe for everyone's sake we need to part company before the summer window. The jury is no longer out and I don't see how he comes back from this. I doubt even those two planks on the Bobby Moore stand are still backing him now. That presser was fucking tragic and I 'almost' felt sorry for him. The Fullkrug thing has also created a real shit storm that is going to linger, btw he was fucking shit second half.

But yea he's out his depth and now it's looking like another one who just needs putting out of his misery, seen it all before, he ain't coming back from this, so IMO a big and sensible decision now needs to be made. While Potter knows his reputation, or what's left of it, will be in tatters, he's probably now thinking he could do without this, he's a wealthy bloke (thanks to Boehly) so it's not as if he even needs the money.

When we lose to Spurs next week that could be the final nail, if he's still here. Potter - just fuck off, and Sullivan do the responsible thing for once, and give yourself a wee pat on the back for being right about him.

Might be wrong, but my sense is that he thinks this is just another managerial gig on the Steve Bruce circuit. I don’t hear, see or feel a visceral connection between him and the club. He barely ever mentions the words West Ham.

He’s not West Ham. He’s not even close.
Moyes was the same. He use to say 'the fans' or West Ham fans' never us or we. That cսnt had no connection to us at all, in fact he hated West Ham fans. Mocked 'the West Ham way' too.

Potter is way out of his depth. He was at Chelsea and he’s even more out of his depth at West Ham, which is a more visceral and passionate club.

Full of puff and hot air. He has no solutions to anything. Just word soup. I’m not one to criticise our fans, as this club is ours, but I’m genuinely gobsmacked by how many want to give him time.

He’s a loser. Always has been. The media creamed themselves when, as an Englishman, he finished 9th in the Premier League. But his other finishes at Brighton were 16th and 15th. He failed, massively, at Chelsea despite all the resources in the world and was out within seven months. He’s even worse here.

Absolute car crash of a manager. Belongs in League One.

Sir Alf" wrote: 26 Apr 2025, 21:42 Potter like all our managers in the Sullivan era is just a symptom of the way Sullivan runs the club. No defined plan, fly boy thinking.  Doesnt matter who we brimg in, Very unlikely we see any difference or progress imo. 

We naturally want him out because we just dont want to be where we are and have been for the last 2-3 seasons in a rut but I wager that if this Perrerai bloke at Wolves came in, it would not be that much different this season or whats was left of it after Loppy was binned.  

We can only hope for a transfer window miracle but with Sullivan completing deals thats wild arse thinking.

Perhaps the best chance of success is to take the Watford approach. Appoint a succession of managers on 6 month contracts until one of them gets lucky like Moyes did? 




 
 
 

​​again, I disagree. the one manager under the midget cսnt that was happy to let the players play, and express themselves (bilic) he couldn't wait to get rid of. gave him fuck all talent when we made the stadium move, pretty much constructive dismissal. I don't give a shit what he's done since leaving. it suits that little fucker to have a character in charge that divides the fan base

you only have to look at the list of managers. what ones related to the fans other than slaven? obviously moyes had his cult members, most that supported him over the club. grant, allardyce, moyesx2, spanish moyes and now this northern clown
