Potter was on Hitchen's list, and Hitchen is no longer running this process.I’ve switched off really last few weeks from all things Spurs related since that shitshow of a season ended. Just catching up now. What happened to Graham Potter? Last time I was engaged in all this, Potter was seemingly in pole position. Were we not able to lure him away from Brighton?
Levy has been lurching randomly and aimlessly from manager to manager since then hoping to lure in one of the world's best, with offers of limited control, low job security and a £10 WHSmith voucher for transfers.I’ve switched off really last few weeks from all things Spurs related since that shitshow of a season ended.

They're both average mid-table managers.Potter was on Hitchen's list, and Hitchen is no longer running this process.
I will not hear caterwauling about Fonseca from the xG-humping Potterite "rebuild" doofuses. I will not hear it. Fonseca is the same thing, for better or worse.
The loss of McDermott and all of his charges (for which there are now about 8 or 9) who have left the club, all doing "Spurs things" at their new club, whilst we lumped it long and sat in deep blocks and then went in for Conte (yes, acknowledge his brilliance) just smacks as completely rudderless. Truly concerning.I couldn’t agree more. We feel utterly without direction right now.
I will be happy with anyone who has shown that they are capable of playing an attacking brand of possession-based (by possession I'm not overly fixated by % but more about controlling the game with the ball) football, that can get a team playing better than the sum of their parts.If you actually mean that you will be happy about this appointment.

Meh... Poch couldn't do the speako englisho but did ok.That matters a lot... but speaking the language helps... as do many other things...
This really is the Hitchen redemption arc.Potter was on Hitchen's list, and Hitchen is no longer running this process.

Yeah sure, but there are cases of managers that don't speak the language that don't connect with teams. It works both ways. This guy is an unknown quantity. I know nothing about him. That doesn't mean he's the wrong guy, but would like to see what he's about, given there are some other candidates that actually seem very decent that we've all been looking at for weeks. We've all been looking for 50 days since Mourinho got the chop and this one pops out of the blue...
Do you have a link for this XG information regarding Roma, can’t actually see anywhere that states their xg is that good.Yes I know what Brighton have done and I'll say again I wouldn't have a problem if Potter was appointed.
Roma is a basket case club, changing owners, sacking DoF's and managers faster than us.
What I don't get is Potter is being mentioned because of his xG (a reward for his ability to set up a team but not have a top-rated attack at his disposal), I've not watched Roma, so I'm not making a case for Fonceca (I know FUCK ALL about him) but if you rate Potter why the fuck don't you rate the guy that has an even better under stat of xG than Potter (Roma's is one of the best in Europe)!
Who gives a fuck?Do you have a link for this XG information regarding Roma, can’t actually see anywhere that states their xg is that good.
I took it from a piece written by Tom Worvile (Analytics guy at The Athletic), it was a statement to that effect.Do you have a link for this XG information regarding Roma, can’t actually see anywhere that states their xg is that good.
I saw that at the Tate Modern a couple of years ago. Constructionist, I believe.I took it from a piece written by Tom Worvile (Analytics guy at The Athletic), it was a statement to that effect.
However, I have just found this unrelated to Tom Worville but from StatsBomb:

The drunken nonsense of a proven liar.Hercules said
"Word is, soon as potential manager names the players they want, DL fckng Levy shit himself. That is being diplomatic. He is not in this country btw. From ETH to this?! Really? Oh fck off!!!"
How the fuck would he know? Has he ever actually had any ITK before?
