Really don’t fancy Potter. The Brighton connection is a bit of an issue but I didn’t feel the same about Murray.

Potter will be an unmitigated disaster of ginormous proportions, any should be not touched with the eponymous barge pole.

I think people need to look beyond number of wins, as points and even performances is more relevant. For example, while Newcastle only had one more win than Spurs they qualified for the CL and Spurs qualified for nothing, which was thanks to all the draws they achieved. Roy didn't win any more games than Vieira in terms of the reverse fixtures this season, but does that tell the whole story. No, of course it doesn't. Putting rivalry aside I always enjoyed watching Brighton under Potter. If he could get us playing like that I'd be happy. Vieira got it right last season but ran out of ideas this one. I don't think that would be an issue for Potter. Also, he is known for the importance he places on community involvement which for a family club like ours can't be ignored. Whatever people might think of Vieira as a manager he fully embraced that side of the club. One final reason for possibly supporting Potter is that it would be hilarious if we did the double over Brighton under Potter after he had failed to beat us once while in charge of them. They would absolutely f*cking hate that

If we did go for Potter, and all parties agreed I would like to see Hodgson in some sort of advisory roll. Why? We have Freeman as Sporting Director/Director of Football or whatever his title is, if Potter is unable to manage on his own, why bother with him?

Win % is for the innumerate. Leicester had a higher win % than Everton. Lot of good it did them

Whomsoever it turns out to be, it needs to be an appointment for the long term. We have the unenviable status as being the club with highest number of managers since birth of Premier League in 1992: currently sitting at 27 Managers in that time, 2 ahead of Soton Too much turnover - we will only attract folks with a season to season outlook and not taken seriously by credible candidates.
