Steve "Boaty" Cooper nailed on. Not had that kind of leader at the club since Dowie was manager. "The bells, the bells!!!"
True, he does have the face of a medieval pie seller...
It's a handy skill set to have if he can actually manage to create something tasty out of such disparate ingredients of dubious provenance

I still can't fathom how after we scored the second he abandoned the Irving sub. Literally from the kick off it was one way traffic which is expected as Wolves were trying to get back in the game. What does Potter do to change the dynamic of the game, fuck all.
Had me scratching my head also.
It was like he figured out we had no legs in midfield, then completely forget about it all after we scored.
Poor management.
Exactly that, knew we were in trouble and was about to do something about it. We then scored against the run of play and he decided to look a gift horse in the mouth by doing nothing.
The Wolves manager must have thought he'd rest his first team players until such a time that our slow midfield came to a stand still when tired and then put them on to run rings round us and win the game.

I see the BBC is piling in on pathetic Potter now and rightly highlighting that he has a worse record than loser Lop.
He surely won't be able to survive a defeat at Forest. But anything is possible with this clueless board running the show.

It's called the gutless approach. Thinking that with over half an hour to go, he can just ride the scoreline out after going unexpectedly in front. He couldn't believe his luck. "Sit back lads, soak it up now and I'll protect you by chucking on another Defender with fresher legs". Invites wave after wave of attack before the inevitable predictable outcome. Moyes MK II.
Even poor old Irving wasn't exactly all that positive to try to kill the game off or go for the jugular to keep the pressure off our defence as it should have been at least 1 Striker which is exactly what Periera did leaning on his experience to sense how it was panning out.

Pathetic Potter should be sacked today but I suspect he will limp on and be given the Forest game.
Fail to win that and he should be toast. The transfer window will effectively be over after that and there will be time for a new appointment to work with whatever train wreck of a squad we have by that point before a massive London derby against that mob from North London.

Nick on C&B said this morning that JWP's fastest run with the ball last night was on the right wing - but back towards his own goal....

Heard that Potter is very close to the sack, but we won't line anyone decent up to replace him, so it won't make any difference.
I can picture other Staff trying to hunt him down at the Training Ground to tell him Sullivan wants a word with him but he keeps hiding in clever spots he can't be found. Blatant 1980s Playground hide and seek Runner-up, this cսnt.

Was the "but we won't line anyone decent up" also from someone at the Club, or your own addition? SWT

Sullivan might as well just make himself the manager.

The new goalkeeping coach must be laughing his head off.
A couple of weeks worth of work and he's likely to be handsomely paid off when Potter is sacked.

Thinnk the Dyce ship has sailed...he's more a Brady favourite than Sullivan, and we've seen how her last reccommendation went.
Cooper on the other hand...his chances of Prem jobs are likely to be slim. Sullivan is a known fan. And he (rightly) could claim a hard deal based on his Leicester sacking (with Van Nistelhorse clearly showing that there were worse out there).
Could see Cooper being just the kind of day deemed capable of keeping us up, and open to a deal through to the end of the season.
Nailed on.

Just couldn't give a fuck if it's the same bland uninspiring identiborekit. Dyches, Cooper, Potter they're all 1 and the same passion vacuums that are the typical just enough appointees these divs make to be a member still of the Premier League gravytrain.
Where's the Managers with character, gravitas, passion for a Club like ours that WANTS to play entertaining, exciting Football that the Fansbase could really get behind...
This Board will never get it and understand the West Ham Way with such appointments. Even when they had Bilic, they couldn't wait to long him off as he was too much of a risk to a relegation battle now and again.
I honestly can't see him taking the job, or Cooper

If we time it right, sack him when Nuno leaves Forest then we'll have a substantially better replacement. Stands a better chance of keeping us up than Potter does.

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.
11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game.

It will be Sean Dyche nailed on. Something that I would normally like to avoid under calmer circumstances but we have seen this pan out time and again. I think he would get this club better than some of the other candidates tbh. Football aesthetic wise we'd have to look the other way through which is easy for all of us that have boycotted in recent years!
Cooper is a very good coach especially with young players but again it's keepball with no end product without a huge budget to buy the kind of players who can bury one chance when it arrives.
