West Ham Online

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.

What is the point of constantly changing managers while the dwarf remnains in charge of the club in the boardroom ?  Does anybody seriously think any manager with a decent reputation is going to risk it by coming to work at this basket case of a club.

We all know if Potter does get the elbow the next manager will be Sean Dyche.  Ticks all the dwarf;'s boxes. So, as I say, what's the bloody point ?

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.

How does he come back from this? How can you back him in the summer? Has we got a divided dressing room? This appointment has now moved into 'disaster' territory and some big decisions need to be made, if they're not then we are playing Russian roulette with the clubs future.

No one could understand a word he said. 
He was useless and we wouldn't have been better off keeping him. But Potter hasn't worked out either.

Cock Piss Potter v David Brent next

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.

For me he has the bearing of an academic but lacks the fire and dynamism of a football manager. A bit like Gareth Southgate with England... 

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?

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.

And looking at X, yesterday he became a meme. There's no taking him seriously ever again now.

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.

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.

 

Yet another mealy mouthed presser by Potter today…

Shell Shocked…PTSD symptoms …nervous tics…

could not or would not explain why we lost…or why made these stupid subs…

All so fucking negative…

Once again proving this job is too much for him

A sad loser with no Plan A…or Plan B…
