If we are looking at people who were previously Premiership managers they will probably have a track record of finishing in the bottom 6 on a regular basis otherwise they would be in a job elsewhere..
We need to do something different and I think Potter maybe what we need to do right now.

I would want him in the summer more than now, but with the ways things have gone I think he would be a great choice.
Lets not get a desperate has been, lest give someone with bags of potential a chance, and if we go down he can get us back up next season.

Give him and Charlie Adam the job,Adam as player assistant manager

Much rather have Potter than MON, especially if he brings that thug Keane with him!

He'd be my choice now. If we go down we go down. At least we'll have a young mamager in who can rebuild a team from scratch.

Does Potter have the contacts we need? Is a man who only has experience of managing in Scandinavia really the man for a Premier League relegation battle?
I like everything I read about him but timing wise he seems to be a gamble an ambitious Championship club would take rather than a team in a relegation battle.

We should take this gamble. QDF would have been a bit of a gamble given our situation. For me now we need one of our own not MON and his fucking ape of an assistant

You're right on all points, but at this stage whoever we appoint is going to be a gamble. At least with Potter it would be a gamble that, if it paid off, it could pay off spectacularly well. And he would probably lift the mood in a way someone from the managerial merry go round wouldn't.

If Potter is giving hard ons, why not look at div 2 young man agers, maybe because he played for stoke a season

If the worst happens and we go down then Potter would be a great choice for the championship, but probably too much of a risk for Peter Coates at the moment.

He's the only one who came out from the start and said I WANT THE JOB, he's my favourite and was from the start. Only problem is if it went wrong I'd get no grief for backing him. That spot light would fall at Coats door. Get it done and go get him in now, stop waisting time with people who aren't that interested in the job.

Really difficult to not draw comparisons with Solskjaer’s time at Cardiff; lauded as a saviour and ‘next big thing’ based on his tenure at Molde. He lasted 9 months. I’m sure Potter’s time will come but I don’t think he’s ready yet for us in our position.

Graham Potter would be a massive, massive risk. There is absolutely no point pretending otherwise. If he came here, rightly or wrongly, some of our players would turn around and think 'who the fuck is he?' and that could damage their confidence in him if they didn't like his training methods or if we got off to a bad start. He could relegate us and not be in a good position to bring us back up. Any number of things could go wrong and damage the club. His CV is genuinely impressive though; to go toe-to-toe with the sort of European clubs he has had to compete with this year and beat them with Ostersunds is beyond extraordinary.
But right now, any candidate is a risk and there is no bigger risk to our position than this farcical situation dragging on for much longer (especially as we are already halfway through the January transfer window). It's been a week already and Rowett (if he was ever really a target) and QSF have both rules themselves out of the running. Martin O'Neill is a vastly experienced manager but he is 65 and has been out of club football since 2013. I don't want Roy Keane anywhere near our squad (which is already mentally fragile enough as it is) either, so I think he would be a big risk too. Honestly think I would prefer Potter over those two, but maybe that a really silly idea.
Graham Potter is also has one of the few people in the world who seems to actually want the fucking job, and I can't help but feel as though that ought to count for something, right?
If I was calling the shots right now, I would seriously consider talking to Potter, even just to get a sense of what his ideas would be. But would I be brave enough to appoint him? I am honestly not sure, and I'm glad it's not me who has to make such a monumental decision. I'd be quite tempted if no other good and realistic candidates emerged before the opening days of next week, mind, really tempted. Because getting a manager in fast now is also a massive consideration, unfortunately.
Really, all of this is why we should have dismissed Hughes in the summer. But that's neither here nor there right now.

Agree and a lot of what you say could be said of Rowett if was in the running. Potter is getting some high praise from the top people in European football and has rightly being lauded of one of Europe's top young managers. Of course it would be a risk a big risk but who knows till managers like him get a chance?

Right now Potter is my first choice.
He obviously knows how to build a team from scratch, and he's got that team to pay at a very high level.
I'd give him a chance. We are probably going down anyway
