If we go down - Graham Potter!?

[mickd1961]

He’s taken his team from the fourth division in Sweden into their top division and won their fa cup in his 7 years at the helm and tonight they take on Arsenal in the Europa League.

A bloody awful player for us but impressive and progressive in his coaching.

To do what he’s done from such a low base is impressive and a 7 year stint at that club says a lot about his qualities.

Someone in the UK will give him a chance at some point.

It's good to see somebody doing well, but if he came here for talks sake...we wouldn't give him 7 months never mind 7 years.
Still good to see though.

Dean Smith would be a better option, his teams play good football and knows the championship.

But he hasn’t steered his team to three promotions,managed in the top division,won the National domestic cup tournament,got through the group stages on the Europa League or got the middle name “Pansy”.

This is a “Slam Dunk” for Graham.

His future looks Golden!!

All the positive comments so true and well done to an ex player. However, hardly surprising no idea at all when they go up against the likes of Arsenal. Swedish League one thing PL totally different.

Thought they played some tidy stuff and could have had a couple of goals...

You take the equivalent of Stourbridge FC into the Europa League to then get through the group stage to then get beaten by one of the richest clubs on the planet and you pick a hole in the achievement :-)

[Yarmbaggie]

This is Sweden not England. Stourbridge would probably be on the fringe of their top league. Walsalll would probably be in it!

Yes they played tidy and yes when they were 2-0 down they had the odd chance but so do most lower league teams in cup matches. Even sounds like most reports of us under AP - tidy some neat football and could have scored a couple of goals.

As I said well done to Potter for what he has achieved but a huge jump from Swedish league to manage in the PL or even Championship and yes I appreciate we will never know until he is given a chance.
