‘Solid appointment’ or ‘disappointing in the extreme’? Fans on Potter

Following the news West Ham are set to appoint Graham Potter as their new manager, we asked you to have your say on Julen Lopetegui’s replacement.

Here are some of your comments:

Trevor: When David Moyes came back he really had a point to prove and managed to win us a trophy. Potter also has a point to prove and a career to save so hopefully he delivers a level of success for us in the same way.

Andrew: Moyes’ departure was seen as a way forward for the club. Lopetegui made some improvements in attacking football but the new signings were clearly not of the quality required. The team need a clear vision and hopefully Potter will provide the coaching skills to start getting us back up the table.

Larry: He won’t last six months – totally clueless.

Tony: To be frank, until the culture changes at the top of the club, it will not really matter who is wearing the manager’s tracksuit. Time for a much bigger change if we want to really compete in the top six.

Dave: Potter’s win percentage looks poor. He made Brighton relevant in the Premier League and they showed a lively style. There is some glimmer of hope that he can bring some ‘progressive’ approach to the Irons.

AW: Solid appointment – an experienced, young Premier League manager. Knows the league, knows the teams, knows the players. Let us hope he takes his career and West Ham to the next level.

Terry: He will probably last about as long as Lopetegui! Disappointing in the extreme. Should have held out for someone with more experience and a better track record. Come back, Big Sam!
