I remember reading something about Potter saying it was really difficult organising training, due to the amount of players they have.

andym Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 8 hours ago, useless said: When Chelsea appointed Potter we were only six games into the season, so can't read too much into Brighton being top four at that point, after the same amount of games last season Everton were top four, and the seaosn before that we and Leeds were top four after six games. Potter was always a strange appointment, he's had one good season in English football which was last season, and even that wasn't that great, Brighton still had one of the worst home records in the league, and still went on long runs of bad form, other managers with less resources and less talented squads have done better. Previous to that he had had two season where he barely did any better than Hughton did at Brighton, and at Swansea finished midtable in the Championship, Cooper then took over, lost McBurnie, and Dan James that summer, but still managed to do better taking them to Play-Off final. As soon as Chelsea appoint an actual top manager they will probably immediately improve. Last season Brighton won 4 out of their first 5 games. Then didn't win again until Boxing Day, barely scoring. Not the only poor run either, from 14th january to 9th April they only won once, and again struggled to score. Only 4 teams scored fewer than them last season. De Zerbi doesn't seem to have had too much difficulty getting them scoring regularly. Potters a good coach, but his reputation seems to have somehow risen much higher than his actual ability deserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very good manager IMO. He "had to" take the Chelsea job but it's obviously a terribly run club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted April 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2023 bought a shitload of players, many of whom potter didn't want but expected him to make them gel when squad rules meant he couldn't even register everyone...then sacked him when things didn't work out i can see chelsea players protesting this ownership in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I'm half convinced Man City feigned interest in Cucuralla, and Arsenal did the same with Mudryk, just to bait Boehly into wasting huge amounts on them and disrupting the team He was basically throwing crazy money at anyone who got even tenuously linked to what he considered a rival club, as his ego couldnt take losing out to them.

MWARLEY2 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Potter is a good manager but he is defo not a good manager for a high profile club . Leicester would suit him perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
