Looks like it is Potter, I guess he will take it, I realy rate him but suspect he will be another chelsea managerial casualty and doing so will damage him
Yeah but after 18 months and £20m the pain won’t feel so bad 🙂
potter would seem a strange choice to me, I’d expect chelsea to chase a’Big’ manager. Poch replaced tuchel at PSG didn’t he? chelsea do have history of going for the previous replacement of a manager they just sacked (AVB after Morinho). I’d rather in wasn’t Poch myself, but so long as they don’t try and steal conte I’m not concerned I guess…..causing disruption at another big club by pursuing their manager is nice for neutral fans ….Pep needs a new challenge….ETH bail early…..Klopp definitely on the down slope at liverpool….Arteta…yeah…but probably not.
And whether the egos in the dressing room will accept him. By all accounts he’s a very good coach, making players better. Good for him to be offered the chance I guess, and yeah he’ll be rich in a year or so!
Liverpool look to have Thiago back at least, but they have shown how weak they are in the middle, and the defence and midfield don’t seem to be chipping in with goals.
As stated before, think it’ll be a long season for some teams like Liverpool and Chelsea, i’ve never really bought this whole ManC and Liverpool being light years ahead, Man City have that strength in depth, but you take a couple of players out of Liverpool and they’re back in the pack.
Another unconvincing performance from spurs…. But richarlison has got his first goals and looks like got us the win. Good, I’d have been peed off to waste points at home.
In the Liverpool game there was very little extra time given how many deaths Napoli suffered.
This looked like the Liverpool team that lost heavily to Seville a few years ago.
Blimey Costa! Could be an inspired signing for Wolves…or not.
Speaking about managers leaving clubs, one of the most bitter departures was when Mark Magee left Reading just after signing a long-term contract and leading to 2nd place by December 1994 then leaving mid-season. Queue subsequent slide.
Even today if you mention his name in one of the bistros or sushi bars in Reading a terrible chorus of tut tutting will be aimed at you.
Perfect year for fixture congestion later in the season.
I can understand the fixture postponements next weekend with the policing manpower requirements, but the knee jerk reaction to join in this past weekends festival of sickening sycophancy was stupid and unnecessary.
Yep, with MSP on this. Should have been at Elland Rd right now! After the internationals we won’t have played for 4 weeks. Then 5 weeks of games and it’s 8 weeks off for the World Cup. Mental!
RM.

I think we were unfortunately in a position where we are “scraping the bottom of the barrel”!
Our new striker signed from Stuttgart did his ACL on his debut just as the window closed. The alternatives were Daniel Sturridge or Andy Carrol!!
It really is going one of two ways.
I really can’t comprehend why, given that there’s a big break for this stupid winter World Cup, they’re going ahead with these pointless international friendlies.
I foresee an awful lot of phantom injuries in the next week or so that miraculously cure themselves once these ludicrous Mickey Mouse Cup games are out of the way

There’s still a few places up for grabs, I can see those friendlies being well supported by players!
It’s only leicester, they are proper rubbish this year, Rodgers again showing his lack of being able to adapt during matches, or making changes at the right time, think he must be getting close to seeing if Sky need any more pundits this year 😂
Admittedly he’s got a way to go to match Ole’s 4 goals in 10 minutes supersub performance, but it’s a start 😂
Seriously though, Fergie always said about Ole that he left him on the bench because he’d never seen a player read a game so well, so after he’d been itching to get on, when he did he knew all the weaknesses to ruthlessly exploit
