Thomas Tuchel has THREE times more Premier League wins this season for Chelsea than Graham Potter.

 

He was sacked a week into September.

Of all the years I have been a Chelsea fan, firing Tuchel and then replacing him with Potter is among the most horrible decisions I've seen the club make, if not the worst. Tough call between this and sacking Mourinho for Avram Grant.

I really wanted it to work out but I just dont see how long this will go on for but at the same time who would we even hire....

At least we played well under Grant.

This guy is shameless.

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.

Wake me up when this guy is sacked

How can he possibly stay after that? We looked totally aimless and without any ideas against the rock bottom side who have no actual coach. A team with an interim manager looked more assured in what they were doing than the most expensively assembled squad ever.

We need a proper big club manager who can drill into these players some clear ideas and get them to buy in.

British journos to the rescue already 😂 

I wanted to say that I'd expect some official stance from club after this, because if it will be another "It is understood Boehly keeps faith in Potter" via some local psychofan I will fucking snap, but he was faster 😅

[Johnnyeye 7,441]

this is relegation form we are in atm with the players we have and this guy is still allowed to be the head coach, mind boggling.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

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

[Costa19 858]

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.

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?
