Love the revisionist history about Potter just because he couldn't do anything with that basket case club Chelsea. Suddenly his Brighton team were shite, played crap football and he's a clueless 'xG merchant'. Guess you really are only as good as your last job in this game! 

It also has to be considered that the man that replaced him has pushed them on. So was Potter underachieving a little at Brighton with the group of players at his disposal? Or maybe it’s just very fortunate that they replaced a “talented” manager with a even more talented manager.

People forget it was Cambiasso’s word in Pearsons ear regarding the tactical switch that led to that run of games at the end of the 14/15 season.

Are people still coming out with this?

Be exciting though, wouldn’t it?! 

If we have to go forward having lost our better players, and having to rely on the younger squad players (we won't be able to buy in much talent if relegated) then Bielsa may be an option. Bit of a gamble though.

This isn't actually true. This season in the 6 Premier League games he was there Potter had them winning  2.17 points per match. De Zerbi is lower at 1.50.

Meant to add to my earlier post that, if pushed into a corner, I’d go Cambiasso - if he is available/appropriately qualified.  Somewhat illogical, I know, but for ten games….. I think he has great knowledge of the game, knows the club, would be a suitably fresh voice and I think he has that level of fire in his belly. He might also be willing to take a ten game contract to get his managerial career going. 🤷

Like the theory but by all accounts he wasn't liked within the camp when here.

 

Not that being liked is the benchmark for success, I just think it could be a recipe for disaster.

I reckon we could probably get Hutter

On Sunday in an interview with Kicker in Germany:

 

He said: “My big goal is the Premier League, we’re working on that. There may be one or the other option. There were several interesting enquiries last year, including from there, but that would have come too soon.”

 

Describing England’s top-tier as ‘the most interesting team in the world’, the 53-year-old continued: “There is no boring football there, it goes up and down. It’s hard to beat the top teams, but teams like Everton or Bournemouth from eighth up on the table are always going forward. It’s not about having possession all the time, so I think my idea of football is very good in this league, and could fit, especially since there are many fast players there.”

We kind of have 3 pools of managers to choose from. The short term survival experts, a project manager for a rebuild in the prem if we survive and a championship experienced manager if we drop

6 games isn’t a huge sample size when comparing the opposite number over 20

Yup for the rest of the season it would be really great, I remember the Leicester players said they really appreciated his knowledge and input when they were in the run up to the great escape....he could be our Kompany in motivating the players

Really? I'm surprised? Is this based on facts or just a guess?

Anyone suggesting either an ex-player, ex-manager or some has-been "relegation saving specialist" needs their head checking. The coming summer is the most important in recent years in terms of a rebuild, and you need a manager at the helm fitting to that challenge. Someone who can build an identity and a club. Would you really trust Rafa Benitez or Chris Wilder with this? Because if you appoint them and they keep us up, they'd be the ones in charge and we'd be right back in this position next year. Stowell and Sadler should have enough of a fresh approach (especially Stowell based on his previous caretaking experience here) to keep us up, purely on the methods of not being Rodgers and unleashing the unquestionable talent in the squad. A couple of wins to see us through to survival, and then go all out for Hutter/Potter (or an equivalent young, hungry manager willing to build his reputation and club) in the summer.

 

But for the love of god please stay away from Pearson/Allerdyce/Benitez et al.

If Stowell kept us up then I Bet Kingpower would give it them full time like they did Shaky

You're assuming he would want that position though. He's a goalkeeping coach by trade, seems to get on with the players and has a history of caretaking for a spell - successfully - and then stepping aside for the new man to take charge. Sounds more beneficial than getting Benitez for 18 months

Totally agree it's a very small sample size, but it's all we have. There's nothing to say it wouldn't have carried on (or at least been as good or better than De Zerbi).

 

But does show that when people say De Zerbi is doing better than Potter. It doesn't tell the full story.

 

I originally thought the same as you. Seems it really was a bad decision for Potter to leave when he did.

 

Also when players start leaving and have to be replaced; there's no guarantee De Zerbi will be able to replicate what Potter and the recruitment team he had achieved.

A little oversight in Hutter’s style of football for anyone interested. Personally think Hutter’s style of football is very excited but will need time to get used too. 
 

For that reason I would be interested in the summer but not for the final games we have remaining.

Someone like Cambiasso I think would be very risky at this point, might be an interesting one to possibly look at if we went down though

 

This is what Kasper said about him nearly 3 years ago:

 

The Dane picked Cambiasso as his ‘Parched’, which was the nickname given by Crouch and his Stoke team-mates gave to Charlie Adam, who rather than join the players for a drinks break after an intense training session, would cosy up to the manager and coaching staff and talk tactics.

 

“He was amazing,” Schmeichel said about Cambiasso. “Honestly, I loved him, he was brilliant. What a player, and what a guy.

 

“He was basically a manager already. Even on the pitch, he was changing tactics and things like that, he was class.

 

“The way he was, the way he behaved, the way he looked after himself, you could tell there was a reason he’d been 10 years at such a big club [Inter Milan].

 

“Like I say, I really enjoyed playing with him, but he was the first name that came to my mind when asked about ‘Parched.’”

 

Following his brief stint at Olympiacos after leaving City, Cambiasso retired, immediately turning his attention to coaching.

 

He is currently studying for his Uefa licence, but has had one experience in the dugout already, acting as Colombia’s assistant manager during the 2018 World Cup.

 

Cambiasso said this month: “I’ve always had a passion for coaching, even on the pitch.

 

“I’ve never seen football only as the task I was given, I was trying to understand everyone’s position. Everything has a relationship and I’ve always wanted to know why.

 

“Coaching is something I like and I have in mind. As soon as I stopped playing, I worked with Colombia and for me it was a spectacular experience, with a beautiful space to work and a group of players perfect for my first experience in this sense.

 

“Let’s say I’m in the studying period.”
