Maybe, It's certainly a risk I'm willing to take.

Yeah it really gets a reaction having any positive words to say about Potter. I'm personally wanting Slot but agree Potter would be a great shout also but whenever I mention him I'm met with sarcasm and contempt.
I never usually do this, but how on earth does a factual post warrant a dislike @YB123 and @BedfordshireSpud? I'm genuinely curious because disliking a post, the substance of which is statistical, is just a bit weird.

Ah apologies, I read the tone of your initial message poorly. Appreciate you clearing it up all the same though

No nothing about Slot, but would have concerns about the quality of league he operates in, as previous posters have alluded to it's probably the equivalent of the championship apart from a couple of teams.
With that in mind should Kompany not be considered as string a contender as Slot for his short term achievements at Burnley?
Either way I remain apathetic and feel kind of sorry for whoever gets the job, having being filled with false promises, have to deal with trying to convince Kane to stay and then have to deal daily with DL and our board.

Somehow this manager search just is worse than 2021. The fact we trusted a coach who had no badges to manage us in the cup final makes me sick.
Levy didn't sack Mourinho because of the league issue, he sacked him because it would look bad a manager that just won their first trophy in 13 years got sacked immediately or at the end of the season. So he rather us not win a trophy than win one. What happened next was 4 months of chaos
It feels like we are repeating history again
The problem is for the first time, Levy is now seen as someone as to avoid in the footballing world.
Sacking Mourinho has done more harm for this club then good and I don't think its fair since the likes of Chelsea have had their longest managerial reign since the ENIC takeover at 3 seasons(for the guy who won their first PL title) but its clear managers dont trust Levy with their careers
We now have sacked a manager with no replacement, we have a suspended DoF, we have a caretaker who will leave at the end of the season. We have a chairman who took a back seat who is the only person in their hierarchy left LOL to run things

8 of the 11 who played in that match also played in the 4-1 win away to RB Leipzig and 10 of the 11 played in the 1-1 draw at home to Real Madrid in the CL.
I know they finished 3rd in the CL group but they are still a decent side and a 7-1 win against them by a team like Feyenoord is incredibly impressive.

The quality of the league isnt particularly relevent, more if the skills they need in that league are transferable to the PL.
I have doubts about managers from the netherlands. There isnt much diversity of styles and what works there certainly doesnt necessarily translate to the PL.
However what Slot has done is remarkable, and deserves consideration. Also, Slot has replicated the league form in European competition another massive plus. Obviously, it would be a risk but I would back the club on this one. Though there are question marks.

I have been watching, reading, studying Slot for a couple weeks now. I think he would be my #1 over Naglesmann. I love Naglesmann too, but I’m struggling find anything about Slot that worries me beside the league he’s in.

Lol , same posters who dislike any comment I make on Potter. I think it's like a tic or something

Thanks for sharing this. This is the kind of statistic that really adds context to a debate and provides more analysis on Potter.

I watched Feyenoord's match yesterday (I'm sure it was discussed in here) and felt that they didn't play to their best in a tricky derby match.
They still came out with a 3-1 result and a few times they just turn it on with one touch movement and switching the field of play so quickly, which is something that I haven't seen us do in a while. Would be refreshing, esp. if the results can come with it.
The poorly executed technique of skim-reading. Poster spots a name they discredit and hits “dislike” without checking the substance or context of what is being said.
Otherwise known as ‘ignorance’.

Have we had ITK that this is a 3 horse race somewhere? I know it’s so changeable and impossible to stay with but I’m wondering how confident the current view is. Are our ITKs agreeing

Is that good? That sounds pretty good.
Well maybe because I never said it was a complete turnaround. and your facts provide a higher average for De Zerbi!
You've basically tried ro discredit De Zerbi and say its down to last season and early this season, when Potter has gone to another club and not corrected glaring weaknesses hes previously had, unlike Howe who had leaky defences but now are defensively solid.
I hope for your sake Levy does trawl-through these forums. With that level of analysis, he’ll have you on the interview panel.
Na you're still angry about people not wanting Potter in 2021? Its been nearly 2 years mate....

Read that in a David Mitchell voice...definitely adds to it.
The last time I played the “I never usually do this” game with my wife she woke up with a sticky chest.
Back on topic… Di Zerbi for me please Daniel.
