Emotional Intelligence
at 21:28 16 Oct 2022

Graham Potter has a degree in Emotional Intelligence.
Seems to complement the way he deals with players staff media and fans.
I have noticed that when Russel Martin speaks a lot of the conversation is about 'feelings.'
He seems over sensitive to players state of mind.
He also quickly makes up his mind about players and rarely changes it.
He comes across as a really nice guy in interview but I wonder if this is true with the players. Surely we need a manager with a bit of bite? (I despaired when I saw the manager having a kick about with the boys on the training ground the day before Burnley)
When asked easy questions at the press conference he usually takes 5 minutes to answer. This makes me think that he is either not sufficiently confident in his answer or its just plain BS.
Every squad player is 'brilliant' or ' developed so much' or 'technically excellent' a
' lovely lad' etc etc
The fans are always 'the best' (even when they boo the team?)
He admires Jay Fulton for 'coming through a difficult situation last season'. Actually he told Jay he was no longer required and he should look for another team.

If your management style depends on how people are feeling then results will go up and down.
