Graham Potter's thoughts on how to succeed as a manager - and why some of City's recent managers may have failed.

our xg stats suggested we were the worst team in the league from the start - it usually catches up with you in the end.

we might not have finished bottom under Malky but I think we would still have gone down.

Under Malky we were getting progressively deeper every week to the stage we were practically defending on our goal line at Anfield! Despite the bright start and a few decent results at home, we were only going in one direction, Ole got us there in a different way.

Totally agree, I wanted him gone after Villa away, didn’t even try and win that game.

We were dreadful under Malky in the promotion season and limped over the line.
I believe we were going down under him he didn't have what it takes.
He's more or less been shit everywhere he's been since to..

That's just not true. City won the first ten home games of the season, led the league for most of it and were unbeaten for the final eight games, although a number of these were drawn.
