New Everton Manager

[SerenityNigh]

I agree

Small sample size; he's also won 2 leagues and a cup. Granted, these are farmers' leagues, but if you compare apples to apples there aren't many "good" managers getting more than 25% wins at Brighton.

I just can't envisage Potter having any sort of charisma to command a room full of internationals at the moment. Feel like even no marks like Holgate would run rings round him

Just stuck a ton on Dunc at 5/1

surely the board realise that Potter would never be accepted by the fan base.

Duncan wouldn't either.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Duncan wouldn't either.

Actually he would. Or at least they’d be far more tolerant than with Potter.

So you’re saying Jevons,Unsworth, Ebbrell, Ferguson and Baines Are holding our board to ransom over who we should appoint as manager. Concrete evidence please.

They wield influence. Do you not believe that? The FACT that they all survive each and every failed regime tells me they do.

So is Nuno now out of the race

 

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

Oh I'm all in on Potter. He was my 'Other' vote when this thread opened.

Why though? Not trying to argue just trying to see why people want him so badly?

 

[blue to the bone]

Ya. His egg fell off the spoon

Felt really bad about Hughton because we sh@t on him just like Newcastle, Brum, Spurs. And he's the loveliest bloke in football, one of life's gentlemen. Hughton got us to 15th and was sacked. Potter's got us to 15th twice since. We talk about Potter and stats, well that one tells it's own story. I understand why our chairman gave him the elbow, the football was dull as dishwater and our U-23s had become like the FBI Witness Protection Programme.

I do love Potterball but I was so proud to have Hughton as our manager, it felt like we were the good guys.

That's how I saw it.

You'd much sooner watch a Potter team finish 15th than a Houghton team finish 15th. After a few months of Allardyce and even Ancelotti for the past 6 months I have had enough of watching ponderous, percentage football.

I know stats don't tell the whole story but with so many drawn games, a reliable striker would have been an absolute game changer for you.

What’s your view on potter, Dave?

 

[davek]

Ha Ha Ha.

"Get Dunc in".

You know your football club is utterly cratered when the desperate shout of "may as well get Dunc in" goes up.

That’s great but what about Potters frankly terrible win percentage ?

 

[davek]

What’s your view on potter, Dave?

I have no opinion of him. I'd barely noticed his existence until people started mentioning him for other jobs.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

No I don’t believe it, in fact this not much you post I do believe, what you’re saying is like, Brenda, Albert and Bob who are packing shelves at Amazon have influence over Jeff Bezos.
