Agree sounds ideal. Good luck with finding someone who can do all that yet for some reason is available.

I think his name is spelt P o t t e r? ! He just wasnt given the time needed at Chelsea? He had a dozen new players to build into a team by next Saturday. At Palace we already have some great young players, especially if Olise stays? And there's a very promising group of young academy players who need a chance to shine. We need a new RB or RBW .We already have promising young strikers like Umeh or Gordon, who might do the job, if given the chance

Potter went to Chelsea as not one of the elite managers with a succussful CV in terms of winning trophies.He was the Brighton manager whose team finished 15th, 16th and just over halfway in the PL.

When he joined Chelsea they were 6th and he departed with them languishing in 11th place so he never 'Hit the ground running'.Performances were below expectations as were results in the PL, however he did take Chelsea into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.Supporters were not impressed and some of the 'Phone-Ins' left one in no doubt that they wanted him to be shown the door.Potter himself just looked as though he wanted to be away from the club.

I was not surprised to hear the news that Chelsea had parted company with him and this might have been a relief to him.

LOL he wasn't paid that much.

The media has come out with some silly figures of claims one minute he was on 60m over 5 years then it was 50m.

Next they claimed he would be paid all of that for being fired not going to happen.

Mourinho for example who has been sacked from 3 prem clubs had received around 40m in total (not even going to get into tax etc and how Jose is a different level manager which matters)

£10-£12m pa. £13m in compensation

The owner is barking mad, took on the job of DOF and just bought ridiculous amount of players. So many, there was not enough room in the training ground dressing rooms. Not all Potters fault imo.

What is it that you like? There is zero pressure managing the U21s and the only time he has taken charge of the first team we've been thrashed 4 1 so I dont understand that comment at all. Paddy may one day be a great coach but I'd rather he didn't learn on the job with Palace's Prem status at stake!

I agree with not putting him in charge but in and around experience will help. I’m sure there is pressure with the U21s. The club spent millions getting grade 1 academy status so want a return on that investment. Anyhow I was at Arsenal for that game and it was the most attacking performance in months. If Wilf had scored the second to make it 3-2 we would have seen a different end I’m pretty sure. The on target shot count in the game was 5-5. Fans I spoke to were upbeat and is was not bad considering we went previously nearly 300 minutes without any. That could only have been on instruction from paddy. That’s my tuppence worth

I disagree. I don’t reckon that much to Potter. Absolutely hopeless at Chelsea with some of the best players in the world and if you look at Brighton they are now playing far better than they were under Potter. Over hyped manager in my opinion, I’d much prefer Hassenhutl if we are looking at PL experience managers.

He had less than 2 days with the team before that match, it was basically a plug and play game sticking to what they'd been doing under Vieira, Roy had 2 weeks before the Leicester game.

Paddy could have had a month to prepare. He'd still have been spanked. You seem to be forgetting he has been involved with first team training for months so its not as if he just met the team. He knew how we play, he knew how to keep the team the same, he had his own opinions on who started.
I repeat I think he has every chance to be a decent coach/manager in the future. To suggest he deserves a chance at the job when Roy leaves based on what? some success with the reserves (zero pressure, no one cares) and our biggest spanking of the season at Arsenal. It sentimental rubbish

Keep Mr Hodgson on to help Paddy take over.

Now that we look safe for another season, what about...Patrick Vieira!

Wouldn’t surprise me after these 3 wins and if the remaining ones go in our favour that we will see Roy H at the helm next season?

Lampard doesn't seem to be doing any better with those same players

Our best player over the last three games has been Eze and Paddy Mac didn't pick him for a free hit at Arsenal and put Luka an Tomkins in.

It's a no from me.

Not that difficult a decision on the evidence of the last three games IMO.

 

brides Flag Arnside . Lake District 16 Apr 23 9.30am

this is not a difficult decision, Keep the same team next year, and let Paddy learn from the more experienced people around him.

3 GAMES 3 WINS 9 GOALS, 2 AGAINST

Am I the only person who thinks this ????

Ditto Lampard, wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole. I was amazed when Chelsea took him back. If you look at the talent in that Chelsea squad it really shouldn’t be difficult to get a tune out of them unless of course there is massive unrest between players. Who knows, I’m just glad they keep losing.

Lampard is one of the worst managers in the history of the Premier league so I hardly think that has any relevance

Let him continue learning fine. With a view to promoting him to manager a year later? no way! Sentimental rubbish. We are supposed to be a professionally run Premiership team. Not some ragtag outfit that hands the job to an ex player to please the fans and get someone cheap. Those days are supposed to be long gone.
Let him manage in the EFL with a handshake agreement he'll be offered a chance at Palace if he does well and when the job becomes available.
You dont see many other successful established Premiership clubs handing their most important job to a novice.

I heard he was going to get about 18 months money as a pay off. So about £12 -15m.

It's ridiculous how much a manager is paid out when fired...

As long as Roy is around to take over for the final 10 games, if necessary, we should probably take a flyer on an up and comere
