If Spurs have any sense they give Potter time and let him lead the rebuild.......but they don't and they won't <laugh>
If Potter has any sence he will stay well away from Spurs.
The man is an up and coming manager who will do well at clubs where he is backed but does not yet have the name to withstand the Surs affect.
 
Waiting for Fosse....

He's going to hide !!! I'm sorry but when he's been on here doing nothing but lick his own arse the past few years it doesn't exactly leave him with much scope for maneuver does it.
 
He's Championship manager at best, he earned his management credit at Celtic and there is no competition there. I'm sure he even held one of the worst records as a Liverpool manager, can't be arsed to check.

I remember he first caught my eye as a talented manager at Watford, we were in the Championship with him at the time and I remember quite a bit of talk was going about the division about how obviously talented he was, he was trained by Jose etc, etc.

He jumped about 3 teams that season and ended it at Swansea, where he did a fantastic job at.

His issue? He's started to enjoy the smell of his own farts, he's arrogant. He was a fat toad when he was at Watford and he appeared at Liverpool suddenly with brand new teeth, skinny and a brand new bird on his arm. Fosse can tell you all about his disagreements with players and unwillingness to work with them.

See, I see the opposite with this one.

He's just been in a job where he's been burnt really bad having been backed. I think he's a good coach that can develop what he has, and with a bit of luck, help players re-find lost form.

When you say that I'm thinking of Graham Potter. He deserves a second chance at a top club more than ****e like Lampard or Gerrard but let's see. Hopefully.

The **** carousel I was thinking of Fat Sam and Fat Bruce.

Fat Rafa is approaching that area.

Yup I agree with you mate, he's a fooking dinosaur, you could see he had lost the team, yet was still playing the big I am. Leicester probably deserved to stay up for just getting rid of him, although it was all a little too late and out of Everton and Leicester, I'm not sure if the former would have survived if they crashed out the Prem, where the latter appears to have good financial backers, well going by what Fosse tells us.

I think all Everton have done is delayed things. Honestly don't see how the hell they can improve that squad. As I said before their FFP is now worse than it was a year ago and this year they have no Richarlison to go for big money. None of their players have increased in value.

Best they can hope for is Forrest go crazy again and chuck a big money offer in for Dominica Calvert Lewin or something, but it would take a hell of a lot more than that.

I think there is a difference between being backed and having players thrust on you. The latter happened at our place for years with Woodward buying vanity players and giving them to managers expecting them to use them.
Real backing is giving a manager the players he wants (obviously within budget or achievable ).
That way he sinks or swims on his own initiative/ability.

Some interesting prices today as always for the last day…

Chelsea at well over 2/1 at home to a Newcastle team probably on the piss all week.
Leeds 13/8 with Spurs more interested in ducking out of the Conference thingy.
Lesta at over evens with West ‘am focussed on Europe.
Palace 4/7 with Forest probably out on the piss all week.

One of those will inevitably let me down but thought they were value.

Lol just going through this mess.

Probably worst betslip i have ever seen

Aye yeh they defo need to fck off.

Bruce is finished though surely.

Sam is protected and hyped by the media for doing fck all so he'll turn up again.

Rafa is Championship level at best but hopefully finished in England.

Rodgers as has been mentioned, another one who needs to be gone.

Diego has nailed it. He wasnt backed at all. Players were forced on him and he was handed a ridiculously large squad that a lot weren't suited to his style and told to make it work.
 
On the contrary I'm hoping Bruce or rafa get the Spurs job.

Rafa could do something there mate, in fact, with the way their transfers have been bought over recent seasons between Conte and Jose, that gig is ideally suited for Rafa ball.

Personally thought the one that would make the most sense if they could have had a pick would have been Simeone.

If they go for a more attacking manager that's going to require a transfer budget.

I assume Dyche is there to stay, I don't know what contract he had, will be interesting to see if his financial head is as good as his football one and if he can point them on the right road, I think from figures that were being put out recently by the media, he can.
