Maybe Anderson was very clever in leaving when he did!

Potter has a thankless job, but whats the worst that can happen? follow in Andersons footsteps and fail in the play-offs?

I don't think we would have finished top even with DA for the reasons I've put in my post earlier in this thread.

I do think we would have beat hudds in the semi under DA. I think he would have gone with same tatics smith did for wolves in the final.

I was pretty shocked that potter couldn't find away to pin hudds defence closing us down out wide.

I also think we would have more direction under DA.

It's been tough year for potter this year trying to step in to DA shoes but he's got a few monkeys off his back now.

I've voted for stay.

IMO, he has a very hard job, and with us winning so much recently, some people have forgot what it's like to lose. I admit, I've only see Saints win things, but I've had the talks about the loses at Wembley and not winning things for years, you realise you can't win everything and there are the ups and the downs.

Potter has got a job, that's to keep us competitive. He may not be coaching to peoples style of play, but just thank god we haven't had Noble for the past few years.

As we have seen over the past 2 seasons, we can't win everything and I'm guessing some fans are now taking winning for granted and that Saints have the devine right to win every game.

Just remember, we haven't got the Sculthorpes, Joynts and Newloves, we are trying to create the Eastmonds, Wheelers etc which will pay dividends in the end.

I'm tempted to vote for him to stay...

He needs to stay and everone support him in the difficult transiton towards future success.
We,ve only got 2 seasons before the overseas quota reduction hits hard on the clubs, hopefully Saints will be ready with a new breed of young players in a brand new stadium.
I say back Mick potter and let him get on with the job.

For the love of Allah...Go!!

In seriousness to offer some crumb of defence to Potter, he was hardly going to be Mr. Popular given that sevarl contracts were up.

but not as dull as Potter himself.......

ffs.. You finished second.. Things could be worse . He can't be doing such a bad job of it for you to finish in such a high position in the league table . There are one or 12 teams that would more than willingly swap table positions with you .
Stop your moaning and get behind him and support him .

People keep saying this but Millward was in charge for the first third of 2005. 2006 was DA's first full season. So this is not true at all. In DA's first full season he won............EVERYTHING.

Having said all that Potter deserves more time as long as he isn't still persisting with this 'five drives and a kick' drivel being served up in the last 3 months. In fact it's not even been that good, more like 3 drives and a knock on.

Losing just doesn't upset me as much as the boring rugby being served up. Entertainment is what is called for.

Of course he should stay. A bunch of folk that have never been out of the house and who's only friend is a virtual one shouldn't decide.

He's done reasonably well under difficult circumstances and can only get better.

unless he pulls a rabbit out of the hat and we win the GF he should be shown the door at the end of the year and I voted that way. My reasons are simple - the team looks disorganised and poorly coached and rumours of unrest certainly add fuel to that fire. We cant even manage 5 drives and a kick atm , we normally botch the kick. Sean Long has come out int he press to admin he is confused with the tactics and why oh why is Potter choosing now in the season to start D!cking around with stuff he should have done in the off season ???? P!ss poor

People keep saying this and it's a load of crap. We have established players running round like headless chickens and even WHEN we have our first choice halves playing they look lost. It's crap coaching & tactics

as a Wigan fan I would love him to go, and hopefully you have a series of short tenures as we did.

Also on my wish list is Graham to us.

Fozzard back to you

some blinding performances by Longy against you

Edwards back to Wigan,

maybe even another salary cap breach by yourselves too

this will go some way to erasing the temporary dominancy over us the past few seeasons

Not a trollpost this, but a genuine observation.

Your situation is starting to look to me just a teeny bit like ours did several years ago. The trend of the comments certainly is.

Ours was caused primarily by the music having to stop after several years of spending well beyond our means, and with heavy stadium and other costs building up. And look what happened to us

Maybe something similar - if likely not so drastic given you still have the sugar daddy we have always lacked - is at play here too?

As I said, serious question.
