It’s important to me to have someone who wants to be here and not someone who sees it as a step down. Corberan’s tutelage under Bielsa is also exciting. I don’t think he’d start that way but I could see us becoming more rock and roll over time, and who doesn’t like a bit of heavy metal! Has it been reported anywhere what Corberan’s position is - ie, will he take the job if offered? I haven’t seen anything… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post winteriscoming Posted 12 June Popular Post Share Posted 12 June I prefer Corberan. Not sure if Potter is as good as he or the club thinks he is. I’m hoping we’ve at least looked or spoken at possibilities from abroad. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, as I have no idea how it all works. But whether that's the difference between the two. But I would think that he'll want a smaller wage. Corberan is a good choice, and to be honest I'd be happy with either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans had a massive inferiority complex when it came to Rodgers and looks how that turned out. We're a big club with the facilities to build something exciting. I think as a club we've really fallen for a lot of the rubbish written about us by rivals. Even the Potter stuff I find the desperation baffling. I hope it's all points deduction related that we're acting this desperate for somebody so average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Fresh Posted 12 June Share Posted 12 June 5 hours ago, MPH said: I dont see why he would turn down some decent prem jobs and even some top European jobs to go through that... I mean, if any of this is even remotely true, it might suggest we will be unlucky in our persuit of him... Despite that, Potter has been linked with several managerial roles within the last 14 months, including Ajax, Napoli and Nice. Now, the 49-year-old is on the hitlist at old club Brighton as they seek a replacement for Roberto De Zerbi, and Leicester, who are preparing to lose Enzo Maresca. Although Potter is being paid well during his gardening leave from Chelsea, his key reason for delaying his return to management is the potential of succeeding Gareth Southgate in the England dugout, according to The Sun. Potter is also an option at Manchester United if Sir Jim Ratcliffe decides to replace Erik ten Hag. Unless you're him though you won't know why he turned those jobs down though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 12 June Share Posted 12 June 4 hours ago, Jazzy_Jeff said: Those saying his Brighton team couldn’t score - he was relying on the likes of Maupay and Welbeck to get their goals. They also didn’t struggle in his last game for them against us - would have been 6 without VAR howler and could have been 10 I can't get my head around what's gone on at Brighton. Whether it's systematic of the club or individual managers but for all the exceptional work in the transfer market they seemingly either didn't master recruiting goalscoring midfielders or attackers or certainly didn't coach them to do so. Potter's notorious for his teams struggling to score. He still had the likes of Trossard and opted to preserve with the likes of Maupay and Aaron Connolly rather than use Dennis Undav who'd been lethal on loan. I just think he's one of those managers who's structurally strong but hasn't the ruthlessness needed to create killers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ajthefox Posted 12 June Popular Post Share Posted 12 June Taking us on is a free hit for a manager. Go down swinging on somewhere around 35-45 points and there likely won't be any reputational damage.

Disagree, it’s not a given that any manager would go down swinging with 35/45 points.

Or we go down on about 10 points and it’s not great for them at all. Far from risk free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he's one of those managers who's structurally strong but hasn't the ruthlessness needed to create killers. TBF They had massive injury issues last season. On top of selling McAllister and Caicedo they lost Mitoma and March to injury and they were the main supply line to their (fairly novice) strikers. It just takes time to get new players blooded in and playing the way they did the season before. On a plus for Potter I'm more than happy to have a guy who builds from a strong defence and he'd have plenty to start with going forward having Abdul, Mavididi, Vardy etc but if he's still delaying coming here then sack him off and go for option 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 12 June Author Share Posted 12 June Leicester interested in former Chelsea boss Potter Latest from Sky Sports News' Rob Dorsett and Lyall Thomas Leicester are interested in making Graham Potter their new head coach. The former Chelsea boss is one of a number of names the club have on a shortlist, which they are working through. Leicester have not decided on a preferred candidate and no coach has been offered the job. However, the Foxes hugely admire Potter - along with a number of other clubs in the UK and in Europe. He has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in April 2023. Leicester are looking for a new head coach after the exit of Enzo Maresca, who moved to Stamford Bridge.
