justfoxes Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 Press saying Potter will get straight back in with us, but surely a nice pay off from Yanksea a nice trip to the south of France on the cards with his family spend a few quid rest up think of his next appointment next season, he’d be taking it easy now that Chelsea job took its toll on him seeing pictures of him at Brighton before going to Chelsea it’s aged him 10 years in 6 months ! 1
Nolucklcfc Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 I’m warming to the idea of Rafa. Not sure potter is the character for a scrap. Rafa very experienced

Significant portion of Brighton fans were getting pissed off with his boring football at points. De Zerbi doing much better even when Trossard, White etc have been sold Think I’ve heard this line before somewhere

He looked fooking tired in the most recently pictures of him. Not sure if the press were enhancing the bags under his eyes in recent photos. Its quite amusing really in that when he first went to Chelsea he had a make over and started wearing fancy jackets and skinny trousers, and looked several years younger. 6 months later and he looked an old mess. We all go on about the money, but he's been through the absolute ringer the last 6 months. The last thing he needs is to jump into a relegation battle. If he does and loses, his career takes a huge knock. He is far better taking a rest and seeing whats there in the Summer. 2
SemperEadem Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 18 minutes ago, Hirsty The Blue 94 said: What is baffling (but not surprising considering how shoddily we have been ran for the last 2 years) is that in all the articles on his sacking it states there is nobody lined up. This situation has been brewing for months, surely the board should have sounded our targets. If the plan was to give him the Palace game then during the international break they should have had Benitez or whoever lined up ready to take over this morning, not pontificate for the next week or so. We could lose the next 2, be stone bottom of the league and a bit adrift whilst they dick about finding someone we then have Man City away which will be a loss. If that occurs we would likely need 12 points from 7 games to stay up, which I really cannot see happening. As much as the performances on the pitch have been largely down to Rodgers and the players, the mismanagement by Top, Whelan, Rudkin and whoever else have been involved in this will be the reason we get relegated. You could have hot Dyche 2 months ago, Emery 4 months ago, Lopetegui 4 months ago, even bloody Roy Hodgson 2 weeks ago. But they have waited and waited and now it might be too late. Yeah if we drop its as much on the board and owner as anyone else. 4

Deeg67 Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 33 minutes ago, ARM1968 said: Love all the optimism about far better options in the summer. We’ve got to STAY in the EPL for that. We could well be in the Championship and that would not a better summer make. This is the salient point. If we're a Championship side we're not going to attract anybody decent over the summer. None of it matters if we don't stay up. The question is whether there's an interim guy (Ralf or Rafa, maybe) that can help us do it.
TrentFox Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 Reading the enormous range of opinions and viewpoints on here, the only thing that seems certain is that there isn’t a perfect solution. Every choice comes with a ‘but’. My own view would be that you have to secure the short-term before the long-term. Take the most likely candidate to get us 14 points from ten games. Whilst Potter is the stand-out long-term appointment, I’m far from convinced he is the immediate solution. The board are going to have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to fix this after they gave Brendan every opportunity to do so himself. 2
justfoxes Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 Till end of season Sam Alladyce Ralf Hassenhuttl Rafa loads of names being banded about we’re just going to have to wait and see ride this rollercoaster and hope they don’t Fuch up the next appointment with a knee jerk dodgy reaction !

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 If we go for Potter, I hope our players are not as stupid as the Chelsea lot. Honestly, unbelievable:

It's utterly ridiculous to even think it, let alone suggest it. He was chased out of Glasgow. Literally. The fans litteraly chased any bus he was on for about 3 months.
Focks Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 Chris Wilder. Prem experience, did well with Sheff U and ended up falling out with owners. Championship experience - and experience of getting a team to the Prem. Good reputation in the game and will be desperate to have another crack at the Prem. On a short term contract at Watford so won't cost the earth. 4
ClaphamFox Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 It's surprising how often people put forward names who would never be considered if they didn't have a Leicester connection - Lennon, Cambiasso, O'Neill, etc. Why does the fact that they were previously at the club in some capacity mean they'd be able to provide what we need now? 4

hebangsthedrums Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 Potter will surely be enjoying his compo - how much was it? For me if it's short term I don't mind other than not gerrard..

Because the Leicester connection is the exact point. These players have been over coached and sometimes just stripping it back to doing the basics and having the fans on side and creating an atmosphere is enough to get things over the line in the short term of 9-10 games. 1

Cambiasso is such an odd one, didn't he leave Leicester because he didn't want to live there anymore? 1
