He was even clueless about getting the tick tack !

You'd fancy yourself in a scrap with Stevie C  wouldn't you - doesn't see a fuching thing coming does he. 

 

Simply the worse manager we've had in my opinion - It always seemed to me like he was doing the job on a part time basis i.e 3 hours a week (max)

im not sure now if im honest, hes certainly done well on limited budgets tho

 

We aren't paying the £4m fee to release him from his contract it's a non-starter.

You have to dream right? Would love us to win the FA Cup again.

Yeah but I’ve had my dreams fulfilled  - my dad ( and so many others) didn’t so i consider myself the luckiest man alive in that respect.  All this nonsense now is just fluff when set against that!

What’s Southgate up to currently?

He’s rehashing the summer news I think. I think if it’s Potter, then it’s already pretty much done. Probably hence the timing of Cooper’s boot.

@foxfanazer's number one target

[Bilo]

Potter's ceiling is probably quite high if given time. He got the Chelsea job because the Brighton team he'd built was exciting, built around a clear philosophy and had outstanding transfer business. Getting sacked from Chelsea isn't the red flag some think it is; Tuchel got the push from there as well, but he's one of the best coaches in football and most of us who are not gammons see him as a great appointment for the England job.

 

My only concern is whether he can get the team clicking quickly enough in the midst of a relegation battle and whether the club hierarchy will give him the freedom he needs in January to begin to build his own team.

 

If the answer to both of the above is yes, it could be the beginning of a very attractive period.

If we genuinely see him as the right person, of course we will. £4m is chump change in the modern game.  

 

I doubt it'll be Coberan, but not because of the release.

How long will this actually take?? Do we have someone already lined up and agreed to take over before Brentford? Have we started an interview process ? Has anybody actually applied?? Will Top and Rudkin take there time over mince pies an turkey before choosing the wrong man again then wonder why it's not all been fixed an where not in Europe come the end of the season? 

Do the pair of them actually realise they've sacked him or do they think he'll come back "Pearson esq" and all will be well ?? 

The tension is all to much to bare. 🤔🤔🫤🙈🙈

[st albans fox]

We are now rudderless 

If we’ve sacked cooper without having someone ready to come in then we are completely incompetent. As poor as cooper (and his coaches) were, he is still better being employed to prepare us for a PL game at Brentford in five days time than sitting at home. 
 

All this speculation in the media should be nonsense - we should have our man ready to be announced 

[ramboacdc]

Potter was clearly holding out for the England job and the FA either didn't interview him or went with Tuchel. I don't think he is the right person for the job, but in all honesty I don't know who is. An attacking manager will maybe make enteratining football but our issues are at the back and it just won't work. 

 

Same with Ruud. Moyes maybe, but is he in the market any more?  

I think it will be one of those moments where we sit and name all the usual on the merry go round and then we end up with someone from the French 2nd division.

people who aren't Leicester fans would probably see us lucky to get Moyes

 

It's not 2004. They won't.

We are Leicester city, notoriously played in champ/div 1 for years

 

Have you seen the Premier League? Brentford, Brighton, Fulham, Bournemouth, Man City, Forest, Ipswich. 

 

Football has a much shorter memory than football fans. 

 

We're an established part of the modern Premier League identity, we're league and cup winners in the last ten years, it was seen as a huge shock when we got relegated, not typical little Leicester going back where they belong. 

 

If Moyes rocks up here, nobody is going to be saying wow, lucky Leicester. They're going to point out it's another symptom of our decline. Which it is.

think RVN as an example could be a very risky appointment

 

I agree. There's a reason he's linked to a mid table second division club in Germany.

Moyes would properly stick the tent pegs in and could get us back up from Championship

 

I doubt that. He'd be an absolutely appalling manager in the Championship and anyone that can't see that must have slept through last season. You cannot get by with David Moyes when the entire league is parking the bus against you. 

 

Having said all of this, he's obviously a massive improvement on Cooper and I think he'd keep this squad up. Or, at least, I think he would have with a fit Fatawu. He's going to need pacy and dangerous counter attacking threats and we're currently left with basically just an out of form Mavididi to carry us through the middle third and that concerns me. 

 

I wouldn't hate us signing him on a one year or six month deal, I just don't see Moyes accepting that and given that Rudkin appears to surrender recruitment control to every new manager, I am alarmed by the idea of a regressive dinosaur being allowed to have an opinion on who we recruit.

Potter had little to do with transfers 

was all built around the chairman’s stat based system 

[cityfanlee23]

Not sure how I forgot to add Schmidt and Corberan to my previous list. 
 

The managers available at the moment are promising, there’s nothing that forces us to go down the firefighter route, plenty of progressive managers currently out of work or at clubs we could actively poach from given we are still early in the season.

RVN please

Potter's favoured formation is 3-5-2 , we have the personnel for this, so think we would be okay.

Going nowhere near Leicester hopefully

[Haywood_6]

 

I’ve been looking at the list of players signed under Graham Potter on Transfermarkt, and it's a pretty impressive overall. I’m not sure how much of that is down to him versus Brighton's good recruitment policies, but you do feel he knows a good player when he sees one. I’d probably feel most comfortable with him spending a bit of money in January, as we definitely need two or three players

[whoareyaaa]

Potter would be a good choice as I am sure the players will take to him as he seems similar to Enzo in the way he approaches things, sets up and looks to play with an identity.

 

I would be happy with him.

[AKCJ]

I think they'll go for Potter, he'll say no and then we'll end up with Van Nistelrooy.
