He staved off relegation against great teams like Norwich, west brom, sheff United, Watford, Bournemouth and Fulham scoring about 80 goals in 2 seasons, I'd be annoyed if that was the level of good football.
How many of his transfers at Brighton were him alone? His head if recruitment at Brighton has moved to Chelsea, maybe he can do the same there.
Stuart Pearce at city has 2 seasons with more points than potter, if Pearce had another season where he accrued 50 points would he have been anywhere near a top 4 club?
