rosythpar Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 He is helping Queens Park out this week by taking the training sessions while they look for a new manager. I wonder if Potter could be tempted to have another try at management? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Red Sox Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 **** sake give the boy a break, he came in to a ****fest and didn’t make it better, move on, I’m sure he has. Ian McCall made a horses erse of the Dundee Utd job but some are desperate to see him as pars manager. Potter is a good coach and may yet make a good manager. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Boston says he was in charge of a complete mess. He is well thought of in Scottish football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie's Pars Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Perhaps helping out as there is the Leanne Dempster link. She is at Queens Park just now after leaving Hibs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted January 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 John Potter still helping out on an interim basis at the moment but Queens Park have launched an ambitious attempt to try and get Jack Ross to be the new manager.

Not that impossible given both JR and JP are currently unemployed. Of course they may have ££££s in the bank, following pay offs from Hibs and Sunderland, so they may prefer to wait until a bigger club comes along, but a bird in the hand..... I know JP quite well. He eats and sleeps football, so he'll rather be involved with a club - any club - than sitting at home. As others have pointed out, he inherited a poor squad from JJ at EEP. The players he was able to bring in, in the January window, were no better than those he had. No doubt he made mistakes, but he's smart enough to have learned from these and the experience he's gained in working with JR will stand him in good stead, should he want to give management another go. Queens Park are an ambitious club, now they've shaken of the shackles of being the only amateur club in the SPFL, and would be ideal to relaunch his career. I wish him well. He's an excellent coach and a great human being. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Boston says he was in charge of a complete mess. He is well thought of in Scottish football. I don't agree that he was in charge of a mess. He took over just after we fell 5 points behind the leaders, Forfar. Now, that's obviously not ideal, but we were still doing ok and with plenty time to pull it back over the season. We had led or been in among the leaders for the whole season up to that point. We were also only a single point behind Morton who went on to win the league that season. P15 W8 D3 L4 As soon as JP was in charge, results took a sharp downward turn compared to Jefferies - I'm not having a go at Potter here, he's a nice guy, but he did demonstrably worse than Jefferies with the same players. P21 W5 D6 L10 I still think the board were ridiculously premature in sacking Jefferies, both for on the pitch reasons and because of the leadership and support for fans he had shown through the Masterton crisis years (years which, despite our early push for promotion that season we were still recovering from as a club). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
