Hafnia Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 16 minutes ago, Goodison Glory said: I initially thought so too. Then realised he has been in the role since September. I am not saying that is enough time - especially with the amount of players he has needed to integrate across both windows but there have been signs that he has just got things plain wrong. Some of the line ups and subs have been baffling. There are players in that club like aubamayang liking instagram posts that he has been sacked. One man wrecking machine who destroys a managers control of a team when he doesn’t get his way. potter is a well respected coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arteta was not good in his first year but they had patience and look at them now. Perhaps Potter should have been given more time but he has made not helped himself I just read that he has agreed a severance package that has nothing to do with his contract (meaning he is not holding them to paying up his contract) - that speaks volumes for the type of guy he is.

That’s why he was the right manager for them. Very few of them about with integrity. He should have rinsed them for grief he took.

Gwlad Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I wonder if Potter was just glad to be out of it. No doubt he bit off more than he could chew but should have been satsified with what he was doing at B&H. Still glad we didn't go for him.

MikeO Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 MOTD podcast doing top ten all time PL penalty takers, shortlist attached... Shearer on the list because he scored more than anyone else (56) but he also missed more than anyone else (11) so with a conversion rate of 83.5% he should be nowhere near; Toney a joke also as he's only been top flight for five minutes so too small a sample to be included imo. Predictably three ex-Evertonians with a 90%+ rate are omitted, Baines being the most obvious but also Beattie and Speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Wow. The majority owner of Leeds has used Elland Road as guarantee for a loan to take over Sampdoria - and never told his ownership partners. This could end up very badly for Leeds. Imagine if the bank foreclosed on their stadium. https://theathletic.com/4568028/2023/06/01/leeds-elland-road-sampdoria-radrizzani/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Oops. Wrexham, recently playing in the National League and with a forward who's 46 years old, just beat the US Women's team 12-0 in a format where the halves are only 20 minutes instead of the usual 45 minutes. Mind you, I wonder whether it would've been that different if they'd played the US Men's team. Kudos to the US team's goalie who made at least ten good saves to stop it from being an even bigger rout.With so much organized sport compared to Britain, you have to wonder why the US is so poor at the national level. My guess is that it's because soccer/football has yet to become one of the big televised sports - and that may be because there are no frequent breaks during which to play commercials.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojb430E55zA Sibdane and Matt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
