My colours to the mast and it has to be him.

Local and a high potential manager (still) who is not looking for a quick payday. English so wil be settled and ready to fight and show some passion.

Potter in. O’Neill can **** right off.

hard to say with Potter, seemingly did well at Brighton, however they went up another level after he left. So was it him laying the foundations, or are Brighton just really well ran? Can't judge him on Chelsea either, because they were just chucking money around and buying players without a plan, and I don't think he had any say. I'd rather him than O'Neil tho!

Potter why would he want to come to a toxic club with zilch money to spend ?

Plus he’s living nicely off his Chelsea payoff

Snowball in hell's chance. Potter spent £280m in seven months at Chelsea, no way does he agree to come to Wolves with both arms tied behind his back.

So soon after he was tinned and paid off I would think a certainty he has some non compete language in his agreement with Chelsea that would mean he can’t manage anyone else in the prem for a period of time.

Edit: O’Neil probably doesn’t have that language as Bournemouth thought no ****er would want him and those that do probably enhance Bournemouths chances of staying up :0

Potter isn’t coming, no way he’d touch this bat **** club with a barge pole.

More chance of Nuno returning, and he’s not coming to the rescue either.

It will be O’Neil or a random Portuguese guy we’ve not heard of. I’d previously thought we’d be cursed with Jesse Marsch but I don’t think the Chinese would appoint a yank.

Not a hope in hell of Potter coming here. He will be waiting for a better opportunity as the season progresses

After Chelsea, a Premier League team with a decent squad ought to appeal. He won’t be appointed by another big 6 club so we could look like a decent option.

De Zerbi is one of the best coaches in Europe. Potter had Chelsea 9th on expected points but only 3 points worse on that metric over his 22 games than United, and the same as Liverpool. Basketcase club; remember he overachieved for years at Brighton before he left.

Potter is not an top level manager and it was never going to work at Chelsea; he does however need to rebuild his reputation and why not at a team like Wolves, who are on par in size to Brighton. It was Potters foundations at Brighton that put them in the position they are now. He tends to play decent football, however not high scoring( but we are use to that)

His performance at Chelsea with their financial strength does not inspire confidence. Brighton haven’t missed him either.

I worked with his dad, Steve(rip) so have always paid attention to his career and since entering management I think he has done exceptionally well.
He laid the groundwork for Brighton to have such a successfull time last season De Zerbi was fortunate to inherit such a talented organised squad. Lets not forget Potter was poached by Chelsea and not sacked by Brighton .

Chelsea was a car crash of a club and Potter was a victim of it's chaos.

Did he spend it? Thought that was Boehly and Potter had to get on with it being told to play them

People saying Potter managed Chelsea so he won't come to Wolves, yet don't mention he was a resounding failure there. His stock is down now. His next move won't be to a top-six club. His best bet is a midtable Premier League club. Unless he's holding out for the West Ham job, is he getting many better offers than us?

Because there's zero money to spend, meaning he won't be able to shape the squad how he wants it.

Hence why we're ending up with O'Neill, nobody else would want it.

I’m not sure Potter had too much say in those vanity signings.

I would want him, also has a point to prove which I like

Problem is - any manager of any high calibre - why would they want to come and work under fosun? Seriously, why?

Trying to convince Potter to join isn't even the hard part, Wolves are just not in a position to afford Potter's pay demands for him and his staff (especially after JL's pay-off).

There's a reason O'Neil is our preferred candidate - he's cheap.

An actual coach who was sold up the river by a chaotic Chelsea set up.

He would be a good fit for us.

Whilst his teams don’t score many goals, they try to play attacking football.

The club have ruined their reputation.

Potter is the outstanding candidate however if I were him I wouldn’t want want to work with Fosun.
