Lets be honest, its took City how long to have things in place for Pep? 3/4 years? And thats for Pep who is a world class manager/the best manager at the moment.

Its going to take significantly longer for most clubs regardless of managers, never mind Graham Potter - to get us anything close to City because they’ve had everything in place for years.

If anything, Tuchel was the man to give this infrastructure and time to. 6 finals of which he won 3 in 2 years is as good as it gets for most managers. And in the 3 we lost, 2 on penalties and 1 by a long shot goal.

The only realistic thing that will really help us close the gap sooner is Pep leaving City because they wont get anybody who is as world class as Pep for that group of players.

Lets be realistic - We won’t be catching City with Graham Potter either - I am sorry to say but he just doesn’t have enough about him to propel us closer like TT did. And even then, is Todd Boehly really going to get everything in place correct the first time around? I doubt it. He’s new to football. So there will be mistakes (more mistakes).

Were we actually that close to City with Tuchel at the helm?   Maybe tactically, but from an overall league perspective, we haven't been anywhere near them since Conte departed the club. 

Conte had to replace Matic with Bakayoyo in midfield and that's where the issues started.   He's currently got one midfielder who was discarded by Southampton as surplus to requirements and another who was let go by Juventus and he's somehow got that team in the mix for top 4.  

it's almost like alot of fans have Tuchel tinted glasses on when they talk about him, it's like our general performance in the league and the rubbish football we were serving up last season has been forgotten about and all we want to do is highlight his amazing cup runs which led to 1 major trophy.  

People actually wanted Tuchel for the long term with the poor transfer decisions he was making?   Interesting how his longest stint in management is still Mainz (180+ games), with Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea, it was 3 seasons or less.

It took City one year under Pep. 1 season he lost the league to Conte but from the very next year, they began monopolising the league. They came to Stamford Bridge and played a league winning side off the park.

Tuchel to Potter has to be one of the biggest managerial downgrades in modern football history. And it was all self inflicted.

This clueless clown needs to go.🤡 Horrible way for Boehly to start his era. Just embarrassing. 

[Laylabelle 9,534]

He must have regrets...shouldve stayed at Brighton much better there!

Senseless appointment. Would have been like giving pardew the job for having a decent season with Newcastle one time. Absolute embarrassment having this mid table nobody managing us

Agreed. 

Tuchel looking a lot more attractive now not just because we are losing, but because Tuchel had the honesty to call it out as it is. Players are shit.

Yeah he's in over his head.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

But someone made this appointment. It must have made sense at the time! But nothing has changed. We haven't changed we're just bouncing around where we are..its a shame and guess for him to because he was doing better with Brighton.

Maybe something will click but seems so unlikely.. bit of a waste of time really

Potter is the worst Chelsea manager we've had in several years. He doesn't have the capacity to turn things around and is a massive downgrade from Tuchel. We'll finish 6th this season and worse next year, if we don't sack him now we can be looking at a Mourinho 2015/16 season. 

I don't know who Boehly's advisors are but this is a terrible way to start his era at the club

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

i just dont see a good future for Potter at Chelsea, i would love to be proven wrong but i just don’t see it, maybe because i’m incensed at this club atm. The players let Tuchel down really bad, from Tuchel to Potter is a big downgrade. Boehly fucked up
