Quote Guerrier="Guerrier"It shouldn't be Potter.
I have an enormous amount of respect for him after what he's been through and how he's handled himself, but he hasn't been the best coach this year.'"
It isn't just how he has managed himself though clearly. His team have been through all sorts of problems off the pitch, have been messed around for months on end with no idea wether they would have a team, a job, a wage the following week. It must have been so demoralising and frustrating for the players and yet potter has managed to keep them motivated and often playing better under such horrible circumstances than they were at the start of the year!
I think he has shown superb man management skills and that, combined with the way he has handled himself and doing it all on a voluntary basis makes him an obvious choice for coach of the year. The best coach isn't always the one that wins everything, it's the one that does the best with the players and resources available.
Potter by a mile this season IMO.
