Was gutted when all 3 went
Don't get all the drama about Potter got us to 10th in the Championship playing some nice football.
We move on. | |

That’s the spirit fella.
We should see it as a compliment that our managers move on to bigger clubs (not being sarcastic) | | | |

True my point is though that Potter has not done enough to justify all the hype. | |

Martinez was before I really started supporting to be fair, the others I disagree though.
Rodgers had a couple of super important seasons. Promotion and surviving relegation with flair - I wished him nothing but the best in what was an irresistible move to Liverpool
Laudrup was leading us to relegation. As much as we had good times under him? I wanted him to leave weeks before he actually did. We looked hapless.
Potter's lies and potential is what bites.
Speaking of the 'long term' project. I actually had faith that with as little as one or two additions to this squad (minus James) we could fight for the playoffs. He can bugger off as far as I care, totally broken the trust he had built up with supporters. Just like the rest of them but even worse because he tries to cover it up.

He obviously didn't get the assurances off Birch that he needed. After losing at least 16 players at the start of the season, he produced a team from scratch and almost got us in the play offs. He was most likely told by Birch that he had to sell his best players, but it was ok, he could sign a few duff ones to replace them. He was lied to last summer, and faced the same this summer.
We were lucky he stayed as long as he did. | |

Laudrup wasn’t leading us to relegation and we didn’t look hapless for weeks before he was sacked.
The week before he was sacked we comfortably bear Fulham (who were relegated) and not long before that we won at Old Trafford.
Laudrup’s sacking had nothing to do with results. | |

Martinez, Rodgers and Sousa were unknowns.
Laudrup had been dealing with a massive injury problems for round three months (with little or no youth coming through). Up to 10 first team players were unavailable from the end of November through to January.
We looked jaded because so many injuries and players having to come back before they had recovered and plying three games a week.
Desperate for players in the January to bolster the squad he was given N'Gog, King and Fulton ... none of whom made any impact.
The one transfer that would have saved Laudrup would have been to get rid of Monk.
As for longevity ... only 6 managers have been at the same team in the Championship for more than 2 years.
Our success in climbing the divisions was based on being different but each successive manager having the same basic philosophy. | |

This is why im really pissed off.
Not because hes gone, its the fact that we know one of the biggest reasons he went is because he wasnt going to get any backing.
These lot in charge dont give a flying fvck about the fans and if i was a season ticket holder there is NO FVCKING WAY id be renewing. I wont be attending a home game again whilst these shysters are in charge and urge people to do the same, i will get my fix by going to away games.
These people need to run out of town with pitchforks but we all know that isnt going to happen so lets hit them another way, the way that will hurt them more, their pockets. [Post edited 20 May 2019 23:53]

Nonsense, he left because they probably double his wage and its the PL. | | | |

Both of you could be right. | |

But he didn’t get “assurances” mun 😂
F*ck sake innit, you’re wasting your time with this lot mate, they don’t know their arseholes from their elbows. No matter how many times it’s explained to them, they will never get it, like when a woman thinks she’s right. | |

I agree those 3 managers are far superior to Potter and was gutted when they left.
Don't know what all this fuss is about. He kept tinkering with the team early doors which sometimes there was no need. Changed keeper to an inferior keeper. Our defense was poor we could not defend setpieces and was punished time and time again and nothing changed.
Ok, he did some positives and steadied the ship but I must be the only one who will not be sad to see the back of him. | |

He would double his wages yes.
But he didn't get the assurances he needed to mount a challenge in the championship.
The Yanks are here to make as much as they can out of the club by any means.
Your first post isn't it? | |

Mostly this, but it's s bit of both.
Anyone who thinks the events off pitch in the last 12 months had no bearing on Potters decision is mental. | | | |

Probably at least doubled his wedge on a FOUR year contract. Sacked by Xmas and still made for life - tough choice... | | | |

Indeed, as Neath said are people that thick they don’t understand that he had the chance to manage a PL team with a massive pay rise.
In reality he’s flavour of the month at moment, if he’d stayed with us & got off to a bad start he’d be gone by November.
Might be his only chance to test himself in PL. | | | |
| Rodgers Martinez and Laudrup on 08:09 - May 21 with 1506 views | Joe_bradshaw |
Precisely.
Fans want “loyalty” but if he stayed and we started badly they wouldn’t want to show loyalty back, they’d want him sacked.
Defending set pieces was inept and actually got worse as the season progressed. On the plus side we played lovely football with young players that harked back to Rodgers, Martinez and Laudrup and was a joy to watch. | |

I don't think we are gutted because he was anywhere like as good as any of them, it's because we are on a massive decline, we have no funds for players, and we are only going to be able to replace him with a lower quality manager, and the downward cycle continues! | | | |

How do we know another manager wouldn't have been able to get the same if not more out of the same players?
I am not being critical of potter because i think he did a great job, however is it possible we have a bit a rose tinted specs? We had 3 years of awful football, then suddenly we have a coach that reinstated the football we had been used to. However he did it with talented youngsters who had been used to playing that kind of football all the way through the academy. He didn't reinvent the wheel, he just stopped putting square pegs in round holes.
Why cant another manager do the same?? | | | |
