Sorry..I don't buy that adage about it working for one club, so it should work for us.

Arsenal were down in the dumps under Arteta for nearly 3 seasons., and they really hit gold in this transfer window.

While they may have their best league finish in a decade this season, it's still one season..

And even if Arteta does end up being success like Pep, it's Arteta. Not Potter.

Ppl are talking about Arteta if he was the 2nd coming of Beckenbauer.

But as of yet, Arsenal have not won anything this season and still have a ton of tough features ahead with a paper thin squad. If they fk this up, ppl will be talking of how naive they were to go into such a hectic season without any depth.

That does not excuse Potter from not having any impact whatsoever on the team. Apart from a short winning streak in fall, we have seen our football and results deteriorate. I see absolutely nothing in terms of footballing ideas nor injecting our team with a bit of fighting spirit. The team is like a bunch of zombies just passing the ball around and alibi-running after opposition players, praying for the final whistle.

Obviously our club has deepr lying issues than coach and management, which have been addressed a million times. But from all the huffing and puffing about long term vision for the future our owner supposedly have we have seen 0. And that is why I see absolutely no reason to back Potter for a long term stay here. Niether has he said no executed anything resembling a long term plan. We have seen our anyway terrible players shoved from one position to the next and that's pretty much it. Even with Lampard or Sarri there was a clear idea of what the long term plan of our football to like was albeit the progress was probably too slow. Under Conte and Tuchel, there was always a plan being executed, albeit sometimes this plan being extremely destructive, reactive football which our players often sucked at executing but again the idea was clear.

I see nothing here under Potter nor of how Boehly is gonna steer us in the right direction. Just a bunch of amateurs at the helm and a mediocre coach on the sidelines and out of his depth.

You can tell from a mile the players don't believe in him as a coach. The squad is average but it's impossible to believe all of them are in crap form. We're wasting our time with Potter because nothing will change.

Guardiola is backing Potter to stay and to be given time. 

[Vytis33 1,261]

Yeah I’m sure Pep would love that.  So would every other club in the league at this rate 

[TheHulk 2,401]

No wonder he has no concerns.

yup. He was pretty much saying that given enough time Chelsea would turn into Brighton right and proper. 😉

Well, everyone, every big club was hoping Ole would be given time at United too, obvious reasons.

You can put glitter on a turd by having either an elite manager with averge squad or elite squat with an average manager. We have neither of it. We are so fked for a long long time.

Rebuilding this squad would require about 500m in todays market and we have already spent about 300m on pure shit 🤦‍♂️

White & Jordan on Talksport  just now, Simon Jordan said he wasn't surprised that TT was fired knowing some of the things going on behind the scenes, he said it's up to TB to tell people if he wanted to.

Anyone know anymore?

No idea, but sounds like there was more going on than people think, and if that's the case TB has kept it out of the media, so fair play to him.

and so it begins.....

'Enough is ENOUGH': Chelsea icon Frank Leboeuf calls for Graham Potter to be SACKED, slams 'gutless' stars Mason Mount and Kai Havertz and says Jorginho should be cast off in stunning outburst

'I see players convinced of nothing and proving nothing. They showed disrespect toward the fans and Chelsea Football Club. I'm talking about so-called leaders, not the young players.'

Meh meaningless talking about the sack when he ain't going anywhere. Say we get into relagation battle. 

As mentioned a season where he gets a free pass.
