I’ve been hoping for Pottertime for years. He’s always just seemed like a good fit for us as a club.

Get what you’re saying to a certain extent but ‘West Brom fans love corberan’ is a bit of a stretch for me (not saying they don’t love him). He’s done well for them but he’s not really done anything, he took over as a manager aiming for the playoffs and he’s done basically exactly what is expected of him, but he royally buggered the playoffs and was totally outclassed by an average side. I just don’t get it. You could name any manager with top flight experience as a

stick to beat with but the fact is this bloke doesn’t have top flight experience and a manager who does (I could just as easily and daftly counter the Bruce argument with a Wenger or Pep argument), and certainly one who’s been successful enough to warrant a

shot at the poisoned chalice that is Chelsea, will be better suited to us than someone who has taken a team who should have been aiming for the top 6 get them

to the top 6 then fall flat on his face. I just think Potter has something to prove and is better tactically and has better experience.

That's where the confusion is then. Corberan didnt take over as a manager who was expected to reach the playoffs, he took over when West Brom were in the relegation zone. That's why he's so highly rated, West Brom were seriously mismanaged after being relegated from the PL and were looking down the barrel of a second relegation when he came in.

 

Compared to the other teams in the playoffs, West Brom's squad are by far the worst in my opinion. It's like if Fulham managed to get into an FA cup semi final with Man City, just because they are there doesnt mean they have an equal chance to win and it's an achievement for them to even get there. The only reason they're in contention for promotion and not near the bottom of the table is Corberan and most West Brom fans would agree.

 

It's not like it's a fluke either, Corberan took over a Huddersfiels side that had just survived relegation to league 1 and took them to the playoffs. Since he left they have returned to championship mediocrity again.

Just remind them it’s now £55-£72 per ticket per game.

Mate of mine works for a bookie Victor chandler's.. 

 

Someone tried to have £1000 at 4/1 on Cooper 

 

They let him have 200 

 

And the price collapses 

 

These bookies are clueless like the rest of us 

I hope your mate put the other £800 on Potter? 😜

In all seriousness I'd rather Potter than any of the others mentioned, having had a year off to reflect etc I'd like to think he will come back refreshed and enthused, without all the pressures Enzo is now going to experience with Chelsea, I think he may be looking for a decent long term project and we definitely fit that bill, I just hope if it is him everyone gives him the time to make real changes, I think we potentially are in for a honking season so I'd be delighted if he keeps us in the Prem but wont be suprised if we end up relegated again positive move if he comes.

Bring him home Michael

I’d imagine salary would have been one of the first things they discuss … however, it is Rudkin …

They are fuching nuts. 

 

All the interviews with their supporters before this game they've all said the same thing ....... 'I think we'll come racing out of the blocks' ......... 'I think you'll see a different Scotland'. 

 

They are a bunch of loonies - Likeable but bloody lunatics as a football nation

His style seems very different to Enzo when watch that.

 

3/5 at the back with our lack of CB’s with pace seems sensible too.

[Ric Flair]

I hope he's spent the last year studying how to improve his teams ability to score goals.

 

I personally think 3 at the back can stunt goalscoring if you haven't got the right blend of players attacking the box.

I can't imagine any fans upset at this appointment.

 

Perhaps the most popular appointment we've ever made?

Oh there will be mate

Probably the best part of this has to be that they have agreed to back him financially-  no way on earth he was ever taking this job without £50m plus on transfers being guaranteed- if he has said yes which it now seems is the case then it’s great news in that regard
