Graham Potter - Poll

[MrGrumpy]

Potter's best ever finish at Brighton was 42 goals and 51 points after 3 years at the helm of a stable club with excellent recruitment.

Last season Dyche finished with 40 goals and 40 points after the 8 point deductions at a club without a functioning board and recruitment that is either hindered at best or just plain inept.

I fully understand the Dyche Out calls but if the main motivators for it are lack of goals and long winless runs then Graham Potter doesn't exactly tick the boxes people wanting ticked.

Brighton simply couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net under Potter their striker weren’t good enough

As a Swede, who remembers Graham Potter’s early endeavors with Östersund, I find that the “can’t get results from a limited squad” argument is not very convincing.

Of course he would have to implement his chosen system in a much shorter time here.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Bring him in ffs and go nab as many of the Brighton backroom staff too while we're at it.

Neal Maupay was his top scorer for all 3 years at Brighton. Maybe he can turn Maupay into the goal scorer we need. I’m in.

Well at least he won't have that problem at Evert.....oh wait.

Ye, Potter generating a high xG with players not being able to convert that? Welcome to Everton

I don’t understand what West Ham are doing. If you want Potter you shouldn’t want him for six months. If you want someone for six months you shouldn’t want Potter.

According to the Times, they doubt he's good enough, but would retain an option to extend those 6 months if he is.

They first spoke to Potter over 6 weeks ago apparently. They've been looking for a manager for 7 weeks.

Now a short term deal offer.

Hardly a ringing endorsement you want from an employer

Can we try him for a few weeks with Dyche on hold?

He should vastly improve with our striking options then.
Hat tricks all round!

 

[Huyton Layne]

I'd choose West Ham personally.

I think it's all speculation TBH....

In his early days were Ostersund notably more limited than the clubs around them in the 2/3 tier? Thought their DOF was pulling all kinds of things out of the hat until it all came crashing down?

Either way Superettan and the Premier League are two very different competitions.

He'd be an imbecile to take that.

Not because he should be afraid of proving himself - because it's not exactly a ringing endorsement by his putative employer. If they have that little confidence in him before he even loses a game and hits a tough spell, he should steer well clear.

 

[Saint Domingo]

This is he sort of debate I'm looking for.

See? Already far more interesting.

@Saint Domingo your view?

I’m no fan of Graeme Potter. If he becomes Everton manager I’d support him but he wouldn’t be my first choice.

Interesting poll results so far;

44.0% Yes
37.7% No
18.3% Cheese On Toast

The very definition of "divisive".

With added cheese.
