:LOL: I suppose we've got to laugh or we'll cry. I can't believe how low we've sunk since the heady days of Laudrup. His dismissal was when the rot set in and progessively got worse until we plumbed the depths with these owners. Just wish the Trust would have the balls to challenge the takeover.

It's laughable when the Club said in its posting that Potter "promoted a number of the club’s academy prospects into the first team following the departure of a number of senior players " ... like he had any choice in the matter, it was the only thing that could be done.

Nothing yet about interim operations. We also now have no head of scouting .... so without anybody at the helm of football ops all player recruitment comes to a screeching halt.

This “have to take the opportunity” mantra is nonesense when it comes to the Prem. If there is one thing guaranteed with that league it is the annual turnover in managers. There are always many, many vacancies every year. Every year some newbie coach or two, or three, or four, gets tried out to be spat out onto the junk heap when the silk purse doesn’t materialize from a sow’s year in short order .... because magic is a state of delusion. Wouldn’t a coach like Potter be better served on his resume by showing that he has the ability to take on, stick with, and deliver a project on time and as promised. Wouldn’t that build brand, command demand and excellent compensation. After all, that very ability is what brought Potter to us and out of the Swedish system.

So what is Potter going to deliver with a hodge podge squad that struggled to deliver anything last season and really has no football identity .... what are they known for .... nothing. Potter’s dalliances with system and role changes with us was successful because of the underlying talent .... who the fuck is brighton’s Grimes, or Roberts, or James. Potter will start with the motley crew that he is given that couldn’t have given City a game like us in a million years and struggle to produce a win or two never mind anything resembling a silk purse. He’s going to have to fit his “system” to the players at hand or risk a De Boer at Palace situation. And we all know how that finished ... very short, very un-sweet .... replaced by a re-tread..

What we don't know is what assurances he was given when he put pen to paper. Pretty sure he wasn't told that if we produce any marketable players we will sell them. And even if players have to be sold before buying then the percentage of that sale to become available for new players would be peanuts. What percentage of James give away price of £15M by Birch certainly not the 100%, Lucky if it were 10% I don't doubt Potter was here for the long haul had the yanks proved to him that they were also here for the same.
