Vlad the Fox Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 All those saying potter won’t keep us up. I seem to have it in my mind that he went to Brighton when they were struggling and kept them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbaranks Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 Potter absolutely won't come now - he'd be crazy if he did. His stock was stupidly high (and probably deservedly so) at Brighton, and that's been tarnished by what's happened at Chelsea - adding the relegation of LCFC to his CV on top of that is not a great look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't see Potter coming here and giving our players the stomach for a dogfight. We need someone to come in and drag these players, kicking and screaming, through these 10 or so games. Tuchel, Conte, Klopp characters, fire in the belly. After that, we build. Plenty of them around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 No brainer really to go all out to get Potter. He plays a similar style to Brendan did albeit with more directness. If you look at his spell at Brighton, they were a goalscorer away from European football. Same as Chelsea if you watch their games under him they have created endless chances but been unable to score. He is also flexible formation wise which couldn't be said for Rodgers. He will likely go the 3-5-2 and get Nacho and Vardy playing well together, get Cags back in the fold as the 3rd centre back. It's just if he wants to jump straight back in to a dogfight when he could put his feet up until the summer and see what offers come his way. If we manage to stay up with the caretakers in charge, all of a sudden we're much less of a gamble for him. But he is the best long term option, and if we can get him in charge for next Saturday then get it done, don't **** about assessing options, we haven't got time for indecision after wasting the international break when we should have binned him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of how things get done in the world. Brendan leaving by 'mutual consent'. Potter sacked at the same time. Wouldn't shock me at all if Potter is in place by tomorrow.

cityfanlee23 Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 I'd want Frank from that list, i'm not sold on Potter personally, great job at brighten but massively improved in style of play since he left, flopped at Chelsea. Honestly, I have a really funny feeling about Hasenhuttl, I very much rate him. Did wonders with absolutely no backing at Southampton, how he kept them up is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realise that was an option but you might be right. I don’t fully understand what Ornstein's first sentence is getting at. in any case I hope it falls into place as I’d feel significantly more optimistic with Potter than some of the other names floating around!
