Graham Potter Thread

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Like said our amount of losses and wins shouldn't really be level...its a shame we've gone crap and our rivials have got better and better and up they go! We won't be competing for the title for a while unless something changes

I dont think he'll get sacked though..get the feeling they're hoping it'll pay off..except it isnt

Calm down folks. Potter isnt going anywhere anytime soon. The club have told us so many times recently through The Athletic and their other mouthpieces. 
 
He will be here when next season start aswell. Only then they might sack him if we still fail to deliver results..

We are destined for financial ruin if we are relying on Potter for next season. 

In no way do we not breach FFP if we fail to compete/finish Top 4 next year. Clearlake will be fucking pissed.

If not for JT's PK slip on the ultra dodgy Moscow pitch, the piss drinker's hubby would have won the CL.

Just as his predecessor José Mourinho had done, Grant completed his period as Chelsea manager without losing a single home game in the Premier League.

Yes, but it's widely accepted that it was down to the quality of the legendary squad we had and his backroom staff (particularly Steve Clarke and Henk ten Cate). The fact that he didn't manage any major teams before or after Chelsea is evidence to that theory, he was just Roman's friend and that's the only reason he got the job. In terms of shock value when the announcements happened, Grant's was worse coming just after The Special One... I personally remember feeling great anger and grief.

In footballing terms however, Potter's is far worse. We don't have a squad anymore that can manage itself.

Yes they are at the moment metaphorically pissing in their pants.

At first, when its still warm they are like 😎 ”oooh patience, ooooh what a couple of signings we done, ooooh next season we gucci” and then when it gets cold they will be like ”brrrrr the fuck did we do?, brrrrr wait who is this Potter?!” 🥶

This is something that bugs me. This "project", especially after previous two windows and potential third being big pretty much hangs on CL money. I thought missing on Europe this year is pretty much a disaster and reduces the transfer ambitions already due to FFP, but twice? We'd be pretty much forced to start from scratch and it will have an impact on us for years. I'm sure they simulated this variant as one of many, but how probable they thought it was?

Shit interview.

Yeah I think there 2 main disagreements in this thread: One about whether Potter deserved the shot or not--I personally think he has not done enough simple as.

The second, is that I don't think some folks here understand, or perhaps don't accept, what Chelsea (club) is these days. I hear folks talking about a long-term project as if Chelsea had the luxury of burning seasons in name of some way of play, of a philosophy, or conducting the business. These are acquired over years and years of consistent decision making. We DID have a DNA as a club under Abramovich. It may not have been the DNA folks wanted, but there was one.

Now, think about sponsorships, prize money, the ability to acquire as well as *retain* talent... How can someone think a club like Chelsea isn't *constantly* under pressure to win is beyond me.

Enrique as Interim anyone?

I'm actually seeing a large part of our dumb ass fanbase calling for Mourinho to come back.

If that happens... it would be the most backwards move you could make with the investment into youth that has been made.

Bring back Tuchel 🤣

Going back to the toxic ex-girlfriend syndrome.
