Manager for the Championship rebuild - who do you want?

[FoxyJim1987]

Kudos if we get Potter. We have to move very fast though.

[ScrumpyJack]

I’d absolutely love getting Potter in! Great opportunity for both parties to rebuild. Can 100% see him stepping in for Southgate for the England job down the road, but he’s a steady pair of hands.

 

100% the kind of manager we need, also has enough experience to give Top some much needed steering on footballing matters.

Not sure about Potter. Feels like Brendan mkii. Can just envisage us on a cold Feb night in Plymouth passing it around our final third 1-0 down as we "chase" an equaliser. Our soft underbelly being shown up again as we silde to 10th.

Potter just makes me think of Sven mark 2. We need a Pearson type for the rebuild/promotion. Not Pearson. For me it’s gotta be Duff.

In what way though?

You can't compare the two. Potter is a much better manager overall and has improved teams. Would Sven been able to do what Potter did at Brighton? Very much doubt it. When Sven came in, he wasn't at the top of the game and his stature was falling. Potter is currently and progressive.

If it's Potter Top wants.....well so be it....but I'll rather have  gone for a up and coming manager from Europe like Knutsen, Jaissle or Moreno (ex Leicester CB who manages Vitoria de Guimaraes in Portugal) all play attack minded football scoring lots of goals and loved by there fans and players

I still don't see it happening to be honest. I think he'll either go abroad or a team like Palace. Palace has a decent foundation, in the prem, but room for improvement. More stable option than ours.  

 

Happily to be proved wrong though!!!

Where’s all this Duff love in come from? 
 

He’s literally spent the week getting rinsed by Josh Windass for leaving the sheff weds Peterborough game early and saying he’d seen enough … turned out well… did their team talk for them in the final!

This guy has managed a team in the Arctic! I think he can handle going to Plymouth.

This makes absolutely no sense at all.

 

Potter is the very definition of a manager who likes to build a team. 
 

What has Duff done to make you think he could handle this?

I just see similarities with going for a name rather than someone with experience lower league. Just my opinion but don’t see it working with Potter. 

[nnfox]

The only way Potter comes to us is if there was some sort of clause in his Chelsea contract that prevents him taking a prem job, otherwise he'd surely walk into a mid table prem job in October for twice what we'd pay him.

 

And I have my reservations about him.  Did well at Brighton after the whole back office was put in place, but De Zerbi has taken them forward another step or two.

Potter managed Swansea….. in the championship.

I said it before and I'll keep saying it. We're his type of club.

Wasn’t much of a team talk was it? They were dreadful throughout, 11 a-side and they’re not winning that. Give me the manager who was in charge of the team with 10 men who gave absolutely everything for their club and the fans. That’s what Duff has created at that club, he’s turned a toxic culture into a hard working, all in it together one, and he’s had to build the squad a long the way after they lost a number of their better players.

Brighton were fourth when he left for Chelsea. They finished sixth. Huge step forward there.

Duff has rebuild Cheltenham and Barnsley with little or no funds. I just have a feeling it won’t go to plan with Potter.

You’re having a laugh surely. Sven mark 2?!

They absolutely pumped us 5-2 under Potter as well.

Potter transformed Brighton into an excellent attacking team, with basically a squad of unknowns

[Phenom]

People aren’t sure about Potter…what a joke. He would be an absolutely terrific signing. Might restore my faith in the club.

Oh we are, but not in the championship, and let's face it a little bit of a mess. I suppose it depends if there is money to back him as well to get us up. We will leave him to make decisions, not like Chelsea.

do bare in mind the brighton scouting system has had alot to do with it, not just Potter, 

[AjcW]

Looking forward to Rudkin seeing this and realising the manager we all really want is going to cost him a 50p and a twix!!!
