Potter is the best manager we’ve had since relegation for me but Cooper 100% deserves credit for getting us within touching distance of the PL.

Having said that, considering some of the talent we ended up having under Cooper, the football was less than enjoyable.

Potter is another process manager, all fur coat and no knickers. Had a purple patch in Sweden then done naff all since.

Cooper took us to the play offs, twice. Then got Forest promoted. They shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.

Potter has had more success in the PL than Cooper and is partly responsible for where they are now. He managed multiple midtable finishes while Cooper struggled with Forest and Leicester.

If Potter comes back to club football he’ll have success again. He chose two basket cases in Chelsea and West Ham so no surprise it didn’t go well.

Potter deserves more credit in my opinion, it doesn’t get acknowledged how well he did with Brighton.

I don’t get it either,he was here for one season,we finished 10th and it was nothing special.
Oh and he fucked off at the first opportunity.

What success did he have in the prem? He had exactly the same as Cooper has, nothing.

He achieved multiple midtable finishes and one inside the top ten. Cooper kept Forest up once but couldn’t do any more than that. Potter finished 9th in his last full season and left for Chelsea while they were in fourth. He progressed them as a side at the highest level, something that Cooper wasn’t able to do with Forest. You can’t exactly say they don’t have the resources either, look what Nuno did there.

That’s why I’d consider Potter the better manager overall.

Cooper undoubtedly gave us our more successful seasons in the Championship though, he isn’t a poor manager at all.

Both out of work now aren't they, although I think Potter is Sweden's Head Coach/Manager.
