When we're staring down the barrel again in March he's the man.
Seriously, Potter? Right oh. We're skint. The rats are leaving the ship and there's no-one left. He's got far bigger fish to put in his sandwich.
A nasty rumour....

We are not skint, once the high earners contracts expires and we sell contracted players for a decent fee we will be ok

Who will be left?

KDH, Choudry, Faes, Albrighton, Vardy, Souttar, Brunt, Iversen, McAteer, Braybrooke and hopefully Imani Richards.Thomas.

Which fish are those?
If nobody in the PL is looking for a manager now why would he want to take a job in November with a failing team and only one transfer window.
I’m not a huge fan but if the rumours are true that we’ll let him bring in his own team and pick a DoF then I could probably live with that. The club needs fixing and he may be the only way that happens.

That's not including what a new manager might sign

Why would you want Choudhury or Albrighton anywhere near the squad?

Just how many players do you think we’ll let go or would be wanted by PL
teams?
oxonfox

They would be fine and do a good job in the Championship, Choudhury done good at Watford.

NFP?

He was extremely average from what I heard. Did he help them get promoted?

I think you're being hard on our contracted players, we haven't got crap players, we got talented players short of confidence cause they've had a incompetent coach or who's had some fall out with certain individuals.

Perhaps but I’m hoping we won’t be letting them all go and be down to the bare bones you’ve claimed.

I'm not saying down to bare bones, new manager comes in and add to the bare bones.

With the players he wants

Yes I’d worked that out, didn’t change the fact you only mentioned about seven of our current 25. Seven are out of contract plus Maddison will leave, what about the other ten? We won’t be losing all three strikers for example.

Nobody remembers a mediocre Premier League side, if they’ve won an EPL title and FA Cup in the last seven years then they’ll never be forgotten.

I think you're doing Albrighton a great disservice, his input was what we needed in a relegation scrap and he can still do a job for us next season.

I reckon we have two options...
Either a "usual suspect" Dyche, Warnock, Mowbray, Pearson, type with a mission to get out of the division first time with loanees etc but would need to start again in the Prem.
or young up and coming manager who buys into the project and LT vision of the job.
I think its obvious which one but the candidate needs to be available now rather than currently with a club and wanting to go and toast his bollocks for the next month.
Will probably end up with someone who is neither e.g. Smith.

Hell no. From what I read his football is very similar to that of TCR.

I heard he wasn’t that great. The words from a customer of mine last week were “if you go down you can have him back.”

And how quickly will a new manager be able to turn the negativity around?
Whoever we play we need to win the first game. Lose that and god help us.
It won’t be easy especially after our Far Eastern jolly.

Say what you will about Pearson but he was very good at that.
I remember it took him a long time though when he came in 2nd time. He talked about it afterwards that they inherited a good team "on paper" but it was just that - good on paper! It took 2 1/2 years to get that team rebuilt and promoted.
That said, it might be a blessing in disguise that so many players are leaving - there is a chance of purging all that negativity and starting a successful rebuilt almost from scratch. With a bit of luck the situation is perhaps more comparable to 2008 in League 2, from which we never looked back! We do need to get a few appointments right though, first and foremost the new manager!
