this is just to see what the majority of people on here think.

Love the anonymity angle from those saying he should go.

My viewpoint on this is that although I feel sorry for Potter he was never the right man for the job. He didn't have any previous experience in a similar situation and has very little about him in terms of character or personality.

Whoever coached Saints from now on is on a hiding to nothing as the club won't spend any money on decent players.

Jesus H Christ on a bicycle!

We've not even played our first playoff game!

we're just going to get 100's of trolls voting for him to go, so this is meaningless

So, Braniac, what do we pay him off with?

The prize money from winning the Grand Final

I'm not happy with the way the team has played all year but I've voted for potter to stay next year.

It's been tough on him with certain things that have happend this year. He's took over the club in the 3rd year we ain't made signings which IMO has made this current squad stale. Fresh blood means more fights for postions.

The longy and gilmour situation won't have helped either.

Also this year we've had players out injured which don't help with a thin squad.

I can't think of to many games that DA had the likes of eastmond, wheeler, ashurst, dixon all in the 17 at same time which has been regular for potter.

I'd like sir mac to back him with some good signings(a top class prop) and then we can judge potter.

IMO he can't do the job he did at Catalan because our pack ain't as good, big or rough.

I say lets give potter a chance, after all DA wasn't so hot in his 1st year either.

Its getting as dull as my posts on here is all this potter out malarkey...

spot on (well not about your posts being dull but the potter out stuff being dull!)

In a funny way I bet wished he'd never taken the saints job.

It's a very big job to try and rebuild saints when he can't sign players on.

I was told Morgan turned saints down and he was very clever.

I voted to stay.

I think he has come at a difficult time and has had problems exercising his authority on the senior players.

In the next year he will need to build his own team, a difficult task with few new signings but any other coach would have the same problems.

I think we need to give him more time

Stay.

We arent wigan

Stay. He's doing a great job.

With you all the way, that's just about how I feel.

the question you got to ask yourself is, if DA was in the position potter has been in this year would we be in a better position than we are now, i dont think we would be

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.

Oh I dont know.... maybe one out of two is dull, usually those not including Harry

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.
