It\u2019s such a serious allegation and it was really hanging over him, and the FA were going for a worldwide life ban. So it came as a real relief.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">On Graham Potter: \u201cHe is a great man manager of players, and builds a special relationship with players and they understand where they are coming from and has a modern mindset. All of those things mean it does take time to put a team together and get the team playing the way he wants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cWest Ham is not a club that panics about its managers, we tend to stick with them, support them and see it through. I really hope he does well, he\u2019s a pleasure to work with, he\u2019s incredibly professional and I know the players respect him, the relationship with the players is good. He will be sitting down with them today to have a long hard think about what went wrong yesterday and expecting a reaction and to put it right.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;football\/live\/2025\/aug\/17\/buildup-to-manchester-united-v-arsenal-chelsea-v-crystal-palace-and-more-matchday-live&quot;,&quot;blockId&quot;:&quot;68a1c0858f08609ca0a755d5&quot;,&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Manchester United v Arsenal buildup and Ipswich 1-1 Southampton \u2013 matchday live, as it happened&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:12,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Manchester United v Arsenal buildup and Ipswich 1-1 Southampton \u2013 matchday live, as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/live\/2025\/aug\/17\/buildup-to-manchester-united-v-arsenal-chelsea-v-crystal-palace-and-more-matchday-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-68a1c0858f08609ca0a755d5#block-68a1c0858f08609ca0a755d5\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<article id=\"block-68a1bf928f083c08b200411f\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Jay Robinson, a young man they probably shouldn\u2019t<\/strong> call the next Tyler Dibbling, has equalised for Saints.

A kid shows talent, joins his local club, prospers, leaves them for a giant, wins trophies, has one outstanding season, and then, as he approaches 30, he drops down again joining another of England\u2019s slumbering giants. How else should a career look? You would probably want that third phase to start two or three years later but that aside, this is pretty much the model. Had he stayed at Villa, there would have been corners of the internet mocking him for his lack of ambition and lack of medals, as happened with Harry Kane before he left Tottenham for
