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

Tore us a new one that day.

I suppose Potter and LCFC want to rebuild their reputation as a premier League club. So, they'll both be fully motivated in the project

People turning their nose up at Potter are probably the same ones who thought Akanji wasn't good enough for us

One of my highlights of the season that thread

[Guest Bilo]

Obviously Potter being appointed as LCFC boss would be a big morale boost to us and the club as a whole, but think about the equal and opposite effect it would have on other teams in the Championship.

 

They would be seeing us appoint one of the most highly rated coaches in English football, a fair chunk of a team that many people see as having massively underachieved last season and purportedly the biggest budget in the Championship, with by far the best training facilities.

 

It would put a lot of pressure on us, but I'm already seeing other Championship fans thinking we'd threaten Reading's record (we wouldn't by the way, the division is too competitive) and you'd have to think this would filter to players looking for moves.

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!!!

Backward step for Potter so no. Needs to reinvent himself in the Premier not with a bomb scare  Championship side.

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. 

Bloke literally built his reputation working in lower leagues

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

But isn't that what we're going back to though? So surely we want a manager happy to have little input on incomings

[Lambert09]

whether you think he’s the best choice or not, you have to give the club credit if they pull of getting him. 

 

That would be a serious sign of intent in the league and players will join us just because of him.

We are there to be shot at regardless of who we appoint and which players we bring in.

True, but it's not hard to imagine other teams looking at us and thinking of us as the fixture they dread. 

[fox_favourite]

Right - you lot are a pain! Getting my hopes up that the club will be able to pull this off! 

[coolhandfox]

Can't see it.

 

Massive risk for Potter, goes wrong he's not getting another PL job.

Unless someone's taking him on during the Summer, you could say this about any Prem job that comes up during the season.
