Potter is about as unrealistic as RDM

Coaching at the Spanish FA for people getting their A license is not just kids football, and doing that for the Spanish FA obviously have faith in him to do that, to me shows he must have something about him. Also from my contacts in the club I know how highly thought if he is, and I know that he does eventually want to go for a managers job.

No but it's not managing a professional club week in week out either is it? There is a big difference between purely coaching for an FA versus managing a club in a professional league week in week out - dealing with transfers, managing personalities/players, coaching them etc. Not just to any standard, but to a standard good enough to win the league.

Again, I really rate Rubio and hope that one day he could be our manager, but right now I just don't think he has the credentials we are seeking for a manager to win promotion back to League One.

Fair he’s not been managing the club, but would have worked with a lot of the players doing the the U23s stuff too. He’s my worked just with 16 year olds, doing that has given expertise with first team players.

Who the fuck is voting Grant Mccann? If he got the job I wouldn’t come back till he was gone.

Personally, McCann wouldn't be the worst option for me. Hasselbaink would definitely be worse.

Season tickets going back if he comes in.

If I add an option to the poll, it resets all other votes. To be honest, you're the only person I've heard mention him. Poll is running for 7 days. If we get an influx of votes for Graham Potter then we can compare that to the final result.

No probs.
I think I can safely say you won't have an influx of votes for him. :lol:

But that's fine. He's a left field choice but I think a good one. He's worked wonders in Sweden leading a club up four divisions and overachieved with them in Europe this year.
I very much doubt we'll go for him, or get him if we do. But after Dan's departure he's the only one that really appeals to me so just thought I'd throw his name into the ring.

Not saying he would be a bad manager for us, but I think right now following the gambles of Neilson and Micciche, we really could do without gambling on another manager with no experience of English leagues. For stability we just need someone who has at least had some success in England.

That's probably true.
Certainly if they're of a good level. I'd definitely take McCarthy, Cowley, McCall or Rosler - even though I dislike most of them as humans.
But I'd honestly prefer gambling on Potter than most of those others mentioned.
Most of them might have experience but very little success. They're main experience seems to be in failing and getting sacked.

You really believe in this Potter guy, almost convincing me he deserves the job just on your enthusiasm alone :lol:

25/1 for the MK DONS job... :lol:

3/1 for Rangers though, marginally ahead of Neil Warnock... :lol:

I'm surprised he's 33/1 for the WBA job. He's a former player of theirs and the championship is probably his most likely destination.
I think the Rangers job is a good link. I think that could be a good move for both clubs.

I'd be surprised if we went for him and amazed if we got him; but I'd also be delighted.
Or as delighted as I can be while still mourning Dan's departure.

It was for The Greater Good...

Who in their right mind thinks Mick McCarthy will come to us :lol:

he’s gonna be the leading candidate for most Chanpionship if not promoted Premier League sides next season. Will he fuck come to MK Dons. Stop kidding yourself.
