I don't see why it would have been financially better to keep Potter for 2 more months. Might have saved a few grand on whatever Lampard is getting but that won't be enough to be significant in the grand scheme of things.
A lot of the players like Lampard. It seems none of them did Potter.
Maybe we'll see an upturn, maybe we won't. I personally don't think it will make a huge difference to our performances but it obviously wasn't clicking under Potter and there were no signs it was about to.
As for keeping Potter, that would mean the club couldn't properly look for a replacement until the season was over. Better to just rip the plaster off and give the club as much time to prepare for next season as possible.
Be interested to see if Kepa is dropped.
We played well against Villa and Liverpool. At least in terms of xG, possession, territory advantage, passes etc.
The difference between the games was the mistake by Cucu gifting Villa a goal. Can criticise Potter for that, Cucu made mistake after mistake and still gets picked when we've other defenders on the bench.
We created quite a bit in both but just woeful finishing, margjnal offsides and disallowed goals.
I agree it doesn't matter much for this season. What it does show is the owners are clowns who have no idea what they're doing. The money waste on terrible transfers already gave a hint. Only Enzo has actually worked.
It bodes really badly for us going forward. The only positive is at least Clearlake aren't creaming the money off like the Glazers... we lose money and will do for the foreseeable future.
