Baffles me how Potter is so highly rated on here.. • Boring side ways football • The man himself has as much charisma as a scotch egg • He complained that Brighton fans should stop telling the players to take a shot • failed at Chelsea (can let him off on that I suppose) Obviously it’s a game of opinions but personally I think a lot of fans would prefer the team to get the ball up the pitch as fast possible. Why take 3 or 4 passes when you can do it one pass. Last season proved this for me. Promotion seasons are meant to be really enjoyable. It just wasn’t. on that basis I hope we go with someone who doesn’t play this style of play

Agreed. The highlight reels may look good but to watch the whole game in the style of play is so tedious

You make some valid points. Agree we need to be able to adapt to teams we play

You’re talking about points alone. Put this current side in that league back then, we wouldn’t have accumulated the same amount of points. I’m talking about the quality

Exactly this! It also destroys character and freedom of creative players. Prime example was Ronaldinho being shunned from Barcelona under Pep all those years ago. And in recent years the likes of Mahrez and Grealish being way more entertaining players before they joined Man City. mad thing is copycat managers can even get relegated playing this style and still be considered a good couch after. Look at Kompany

No clue what you’re going on about fella

This is the premier league son. He’s currently managing in the worst championship I’ve seen. It’s not the same league as it was ten years ago, where you couldn’t make the mistakes us and Southampton have this season and still gone up. If the club had any sense now it would scrap the tippy tappy rubbish and appoint a manager that will make us hard to beat

This.. 🙌 Bang on the money, son!

Apart from his recruitment, Puel was awful. No need to rewrite history. Football snobs will put possession football on this high pedestal but they’re talking tosh. If we had not gone down the Brighton model after Shakey was sacked, we would have got top four finish’s in that period.

No to RVN, Potter, and any other plastic Pep! We’ve had 7 years of this tippy-tappy rubbish. It’s no coincidence the atmosphere at the KP (on the whole) has dropped dramatically in that time. Think the fan base need a reality check and stop being sheep to this silly trend of ‘the modern way’. The notion that the game has moved on is the biggest myth in football. There’s plenty of ways to win a football game. Always has been and always will be. Bring in Moyes or Pearson Either one would give us the best chance of staying up under the financial constraints and points deduction
