Potter implemented a completely different type of system at Brighton, one thru e pretty much stuck with since - just refined it with more dangerous players.
We are in need of a complete system overhaul, so Potter is a good shout as he's done that exact thing on a budget for a much less attractive team in terms of drawing power, he's also got more to work with initially than he had there. Plays exactly the way we have been crying out to see as well, Brighton were never tika taka more of a hybrid possession counter attacking side imo
Other option would be Carsley, done fantastic work at the unders level for England, very highly rated within the game and seen very much as a progressive thinker, has very much a strong tie to the club and was really liked by the fans, great at working with younger players and seems genuinely liked by those he's worked with.
Negatives to each.
Potter outside of Brighton at a bigger club crumbled under the pressure - how much of what he did was down to Brighton having a really strong structure around him without which he drowned. How much has his self belief in his methods been damaged by his spell.st Chelsea.
Carsley, no experience of management in club football, little experience in coaching etc outside of young players in an international set up, can he handle the very different beast of day to day management and handling not kids but older players. Can he spit talent when it's not just available by proxy.
I'd say on both the positives outright the negative doubts.
Anyone calling for Moyes though, give your head a wobble, two of the driving reasons for wanting rid of Dyche are the horrible negative football (do people remember most of Moyes time here - especially against any top 6-8 side and how we played?) amd his constant bigging up the job he's doing under the circumstances (everybody forgot the knives to gunfights Moyes quotes?)
If we did get Moyes - then every person calling for him now, should stfu permanently about ever criticising the way we play under Dyche, cus you're advocating for the same.
Find the he won the interjokototo cup shouts as a reason to want him funny as f too, the same Moyes who when he left we lasted for bottling every cup compared going
I am not hostile towards Potter, but a few big question marks.
Now the big question is are Everton's fans willing to give a manager the time to develop something, the fanbase is much more impatient than in Brighton.
Just to say his teams scored 39, 40 and 42 goals and reached 15, 16 and 9. So it took 3 seasons to get his system work. He took over a relegation battling team, as for example Dyche here.
He went 9 games without a win in his first, including games against Sheffield, Watford and Bournemouth. in 19/20
In his 2nd season again, with games not won vs Parker-Fulham or Burnley during the spell.
Then 11 (not won vs Leeds or Norwich) and 7 games (conceded 3 to Dyche Burnley) in the season they got 9th.
No way, he would have survived that here.
His points average is 1.28 in Brighton, while Dyche's is 1.29 here. Dyche reached 1.19 on average, Potter 1.22 on a prem level. The average includes games of Dyche this season, and Potter's 6 games before joining Chelsea.
And to say, Potter is a better manager. I wouldn't think Dyche can lead us into the top half tho...
Basically, Potter went through what gets critized on Dyche a lot, low scoring teams, winless spells combined with good spells even though he's better tactically and his playstyle looks more attractive.
