Same this appointment ticks all the boxes with what TB said he was going to do change the club. If we appointed poch that's clearly a sign of he wants instant results, the potter signing shows he's willing to build the club.

Something tells me this too was a panic decision by Boehly. 

I like Potter and he does tick a lot of boxes, but I'm fairly certain he isn't a manager that Boehly and Co had in mind since May for the club's long term vision.

If Potter does come in... I think bringing Trossard with him in either Jan or next Summer could be a really good move. He offers more than Mount.

Poch would be the panic decision potter is a very smart appointment. The best manager we can get for taking this club away from where it has been.

"Chelsea have just spent almost 280 million this summer... sacking Tuchel is absolutely crazy... This is what happens when American cowboys take over your club..."

Hopefully he can get cuca firing aswell, and I have high hopes for sterling under GP

Let's see how the players get on now they aren't working under a manager that is more worried about keeping the ball vs moving forward with it.

Far too early to call if this will be the norm or if they will let a manager of their choosing build a team.

What exactly does he offer more?

Trossard is 28 years old in a couple of months and his best PL season (out of three full season) was one with 8 goals and 3 assists. Mount's last season was 11G+10A in the PL and outside his 'end product' he also offered a tireless engine well suited for a high pressing system.

My only small very small problem with potter is, I can imagine him ringing up transfer targets and introducing him self and the player on the line replies "who?"

The thing is: do you believe the club is in good position to make this kind of decision right now? All the football structure was gone, and the new owner appointed himself as DoF. LOL

It seems he also loves the spotlight, and is posing for pictures with his new players...he is basically acting like a billionaire with his new toy. 

 If thats not a huge red flag, I dont know what It is.

🚨 It’s understood Chelsea are close to appointing a new sporting director with sources even suggesting the new man has had some influence on the move for Graham Potter. (@SamiMokbel81_DM)

I think that can change relatively quickly if (big if) he gets us playing good attacking football and competing towards the top of the league.

Wow. Things are getting really ugly. New owners are indeed a bunch of clowns.

Make no mistake Potter is a huge gamble. Sometimes though you have to take those gambles and try something out of the box. He has a lot of potential and there's huge intrigue as to his ability to step up to the next level.

But its a massive risk nonetheless. Paul Merson in his column actually for once made quite a decent point. 

If this situation was playing out 12 months ago, Potter wouldn't have even been entertained in conversations and a potential candidate for the new ownership could very well have been Brendan Rodgers off the back of Leicester finishing narrowly outside the top 4 back to back and the FA Cup win. It seemed his stock was high and on the upward trajectory. Meanwhile Potter had just escaped relegation in 16th position with Brighton.

Fast forward 12 months and I think the fanbase would go mad if Rodgers was approached, whereas a lot of supporters are on board with giving Potter a chance.

Let's just hope we're making the right appointment and we've got someone who will thrive with the step up.

Not if this DoF and Potter are part of the club's long term vision.
