Why is Simeone paid so much? He is a good coach but certainly not the best.
Graham Potter | turns down Ajax job
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
To keep him from joining one of the big clubs.
He’s leaving at the end of the season so it’ll change
Xavi on 4m euros is incredible, probably getting paid more in Qatar and would easily command double in premier league so Barca really played the "local hero coming back to work for comparatively nothing" card well so much so they tried to pull that trick with likes of De Jong.
Is this accurate?
No. Ten Hag isn't on it for a start, surely you don't pay him less than the dude at Wolfsburg.
Yeah, it looks eh spurious.
I think Potter is a better manager than he's shown at Chelsea tbh, albeit he is/was very overrated. His problems from his Brighton days, i.e. not being clinical and being sloppy at the back, are happening again.
Chelsea have to ask themselves if Nagelsmann would do a better job?
Pay rise for ETH incoming
Ten Hag pays us
He has to go blud
He'll be gone after they lose to Liverpool.
I don’t think EtH is on that much actually
That is why there’s been talk of a new contract
Looks legit

He’ll see the season out. What a poor appointment he’s been though. Chelsea look clueless.
Simple question, why bench Badiashile and start Cucurella when Benoit is better than him at everything at that position ?
He earns around 8.3M according to google.
He’s doing fine. Just winning enough to stay in the job.
Potter Remains In Chelsea Kit.

The annoying thing is I actually thought we played well for most of the game and I actually see the progress from 6 weeks ago through to now but no one wants to hear ‘but we played well’ when we keep losing which I understand.
I was saying my friend that if Arsenal or City had this exact performance with these exact chances, they would have beaten Villa 4-2, instead we lost 2-0.
He is Atletico Madrid.
He turned the club around, essentially saved them, brought them to the top by winning trophies and getting to CL finals. And has kept them competitive the entire time. And has stuck it out and stayed there for a long time.
Down to power at the club, longevity and importance.
He’s basically their SAF.
This could be the beginning of Chelsea's wilderness years. You'd put money on Bohely to appoint Rodgers next because he liked the way he sold him Fofana.
It is not just luck though, is it? Potter had these exact same issues at Brighton over a very long period of time, and now he has them again at Chelsea.
There is something flawed about his attacking setup. It’s becoming too large a sample size to say it isn’t a flaw in his coaching.
If they were to make a move, that would be an interesting one. Or Enrique (if he'd go there).
He’ll be gone by the summer and they’ll be looking to replace him by either gazumping Spurs target, Nagelsmann or former Barcelona supremo Louis Enrique.
He deserves every penny. If ever a manager embodied the club and was the heart of a club, it’s him. His signing as manager was transformative both on the pitch and off of it (the clubs revenue has gone up 10x in the time he’s been there).
You actually believe that Xabi Alonso is earning more as a manager than ETH? Give over.
Thank God. Oh how I missed mocking this clown.
Feel free to show me he isn’t
Maybe but at some point the players will have to take some responsibility too. If he coaches a team to create a couple of a sitters and we walk away with 0 goals, I’m not willing to entirely pin that on the manager. Them two Mudryk sitters, he just has to score.
I’m confused about some of Potter’s decisions. He isn’t blameless but he isn’t the first manager to struggle to get a tune out of the attack.
I mean I’m not convinced by that given Potter is shown at Brighton and it features Lage, Gerrard, Lampard and Hodgson at Watford
I liked him at Brighton but his team selections have been very odd. Not a good move for him Chelsea, was always a disaster waiting to happen.
Their squad is far far too big. Look at United this season vs last season for example of how having too many big name big ego players can poison the atmosphere. There’s no way to keep everyone happy. Aubameyang and Ziyech for example should have left in January for a start.

To be fair, he did try.
He’s a nice fella but way, way out his depth. Chelsea are having their Moyes moment. I hope he stays for another 3 years but unfortunately they will simply have to sack him by the end of this season.
Ugh. This is about ETH, did he get a new contract since he signed ? No ? Then he's probably around that and not on 3 or 5M. That was the point.I mean I’m not convinced by that given Potter is shown at Brighton and it features Lage, Gerrard, Lampard and Hodgson at Watford
It's a graphic from the start of the season, of course it includes managers that have since been sacked.
I was never convinced about potter and Chelsea. When he was appointed, I had a little chuckle. I know they have had injuries but may the misfortune continue.
Someone please put this man off his misery
