What is it with this "oooh he's ex-Chelsea" bollocks? He's not a girl who slept with a guy you hate. He just worked there ffs.I can't shake the feeling that Potter would do a great job for us. I just hate that he's ex-Chelsea now.

No, it really won't. Even more so if the manager we appoint wins us something too. Even then, it won't.If Chelsea get Poch and win something it may be the straw that breaks ENICs back
It's that Chelsea is a competing big English club, so when people fail there, especially as badly as Potter did, there's naturally a suspicion that the same issues will crop up here.What is it with this "oooh he's ex-Chelsea" bollocks?

Those are valid arguments, but I doubt most posters say "fuck him, he's ex-Chelsea" with them in mind.It's that Chelsea is a competing big English club, so when people fail there, especially as badly as Potter did, there's naturally a suspicion that the same issues will crop up here.
Chelsea is also well known under previous and current ownership to blindly grasp at any shiny object, so our managerial lists constantly being a rundown of managers they've already burned through is telling.
Our four previous permanent managerial appointments have been three Chelsea rejects and Poch.Those are valid arguments, but I doubt most posters say "fuck him, he's ex-Chelsea" with them in mind.
Luis has no problem setting up a direct style of football tbf. That's what he did at Barcelona when Xavi and Iniesta started getting old. He even caught some flack for it.Direct football. We can not play possession based football with our bunch of midfielders (maybe Bentancur aside). I doubt even Bissouma would be able to play that style.
This fanbase also talks about Poch like he’s their fucking dad.What is it with this "oooh he's ex-Chelsea" bollocks? He's not a girl who slept with a guy you hate. He just worked there ffs.
I am sure that the very moment Luis Enrique becomes Spurs' head coach Gavi will demand that Barca sell him to SpursAnd then Pedri will also wanna join Spurs

I said way back when first linked that I wouldn't be upset by Enrique.
He probably wouldn't last long before he's broken by spurs but he would I believe reverse the cowardly defensive mindset that's been deeply engraved into the squad since Jose.
He'd also look to recruit more technical players, less brutes. It would be a foundation I think
But there would be changes if he came in. Luis Enrique wouldn’t have skipp and Hojbjerg when he likes his team to pass quickly and pass forward.I'd rather have Potter than Luis Enrique. The only negative (in my opinion) of Potter is that he's ex-Chelsea.
I love Luis Enrique as a person/manager, I just think this squad is so not suited to him. And I'm not talking about the defence, because that's not suited to anyone. I'm talking about the technical abilities of the midfield and the pressing abilities of the forwards (Richarlison and Kulusevski aside). If he comes here, I'll support him obviously, I'm just too pessimistic about the squad.
If that happened hopefully he goes there and ruins them like all their rejects have done at spurs!
Sounds like the chavs are going for Nagelsmann. But why would he want to join that mess?
