Potter changed the entire way Brighton played, he is the basis for De Zerbi doing so well with them
He would be a good choice imo

Yes but my main point is that respect works both ways and sounding off to the press for whatever reason is not on
Cloughie did get into trouble with the clubs owners for some of his transfer dealings
As for Cunte I always felt that his heart wasn’t in it this season despite his success of last season
I've seen Potter making it work with much much much worse players. And beat Woolwich at the library with them. I'm sure it will work with his lot. Maybe a few exceptions. Sanchez and Højbjerg, possibly Dier.

So he told the truth but for his own agenda , not sure it makes it any better. Surely it’s only better if he was lying
I never expected us to make an appointment before the end of the season, either due to a decent coach being employed, or understandably wanting to start fresh with pre season.
I know there's so much BS in the press, but i've lost so much faith in the club and board recently. The final nail for me was Paratici, there was no way they didn't know what was going on and it was a shambles, they surely must have realised him being forced to leave at some point could ruin a part project. And here we are, resetting again, having wasted the last 18months.
I guess like a wedge of the fanbase, i'm sad to see Poch go, especially when our supposed top target pulled out. Again I appreciate lots of is just rumours and there's nothing the club can do to control that really but WTF are we doing???
I keep getting emails to renew the season tickets, but in truth i've lost the energy and desire to go.

Ferguson won the Scottish title with Aberdeen.
Big difference to winning it now with celtic.
Think he won it twice as well?
Forget the actual manager but when do we think an announcement will be made?
Before the final game? This week? Or in early July after seeing who's left?

I'm absolutely amazed that people are still fine with Potter being the next manager.
he has to do it before renewals, even he cant be that stupid to appoint someone after with risk of people not renewing
Why are so many people convinced his Brighton were good to watch? As soon as he left, they changed their formation and style and started scoring for fun. Fans always blamed his players for their supposed high xg and low goals scored. Yet those same players are having a ball now.
I always found them boring. Passing the ball around a lot and having a high possession count doesn't equal good football.
IMO, he's coaching them to walk the ball into the net and that's horrid.
He made Chelsea far worse than they were under Tuchel. Heck, even Swansea improved after he left.
After the window closes
Sadly they'll still sell out, just to the next in line.
When they get fed up in 5 years though, there won't be many on the waiting list
The January window...
Better for what?
At the end of the day he said what he said which was correct but the message got diluted because of the timing so it's not as if it made any difference, he still looked like a coward.

They'll be humped by Rangers next season. Cantwell and Raskin will be far and away the two best players in the league.
Anyway, which Japanese players do you want at Spurs?
It won't be him. We'll look abroad.
The problem is not he had an agenda , the problem is clearly he was telling the truth . The issues for the club going forward are those raised by Conte , not why he chose to raise them
Even if diluted it was strong stuff , Levy is not changing , we both know that . Post Conte there are just less people willing to swallow the spin from the club. Just means more irate fans , but intern Levy knows he is bomb proof with Lewis
I think Potter is an excellent manager, but De Zerbi has truly blown him out of the water. Brighton sold Trossard, Bissouma, Cucerella, Maupay. Under Potter Brighton played well, and built well out from the back but couldn't score for shit. He hasn't even had a pre-season to work with the players, yet has turned them into an amazing attacking team and probably one of the most aggressive sides to play against too. They have already scored 24 more goals than last season, beaten Utd twice, Liverpool twice, Woolwich twice and Chelsea twice. Were really hard done by in the FA Cup Semi against Utd after being the better team but losing on pens.
I know fickle is what we football fans are but to go for Potter (who is being replaced by Poch at Chavs) whilst his replacement has been far, far better just doesn't feel right by any measure.
I know this is somewhat twisted way to view him but I can't get past the fact that despite fully acknowledging he's good, to know that his replacement is better is really hard to get past.
I've been doing a fair amount of reading up on Slot (I genuinely had never heard of him until this year), and all seems quite good so I made the point of watching the Roma game to witness his side play this high-pressing attacking brand of football everyone was talking about, but they were outplayed by Jose the dinosaur's Roma and lost 4-1!! Again, it's only one game and shit happens, also the money disparity between the two Clubs is huge but to watch any dinosaur's team outplay anyone is a very rare thing indeed and as a consequence, I'm struggling to get past this too. (If I was more familiar with him and his teams by actually watching them with my own eyes then I can fall back on that and make me feel confident but surely I can't be alone in not having watched Feyenoord, so where does everyone get this confidence in him being good fit come from?
I 100% agree with you on sharing a dislike for Rodgers, I also think he's a good coach but that has taken a big step backwards given Leicester's season this term and the squad available to him, basically, they've been an appalling team, poorly coached, poorly prepared and poorly set up. They have no identity, wanting to play Brenda's possession football but getting desperate and resulting to Leicester's hoof ball. Nah, not for me.
