It would be more humiliating for the new ownership group if this club went into a relegation battle...because based on form that is where we are headed. 

We have the worst form line in the Premier League at the moment and every game looks like 3 points to the opposition and Potter hasn't done a single thing to change it.  

Tuchel, Mourinho, Conte would be going ballistic in the training ground, on the sidelines, watching this rubbish game after game...but Potter is as calm as can be, like he's managing a mid table side, not a side that just spent all that money in January. 

 

Exactly. We need a manager to come in and have some balls. Have a personality. Kick these players’ asses. Someone who will demand the highest standard like the other elite managers in this league do. Create an atmosphere where every player has to always be at their best if they want to be in the XI.

We have a handful of players right now who continue to get picked when they’ve been shocking for months and months. Players in horrible form get picked match after match because there’s zero accountability and there’s no fire from the manager.

You could buy the thesis of Potter ”building for the future” IF he was stuborn with playing the same players that are believed to be the future even if they performed bad and/or the results were bad. For exemple: Mudryk, Madueke, Enzo, Hall, Fofana (striker) etc.
 
The problem is that he changes the team every week with incomprehensible team selections when he picks Ziyech, Havertz, RLC every fecking game. I mean, do you prefer to lose 2-0 with RLC jogging around when he likely will be gone in the summer or to lose with Lewis Hall in the midfield getting better and better every game also collecting enormous experience? 
 
Is Potter building for the future with his team selections or is he panicking lately?

Maybe they are just looking at returns - not sure about others here, but every day I get at least one e mail from the club, buy this shit, endless competitions etc

End of the day the buck stops with the investment consortium. Not just LA Dodgers part owner Boehly. Although he is the face of the group,  investment firm Clearlake Capital, and other deep-pocketed partners, including Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, and Boehly's Dodgers partner Mark Walter. 

Not sure who is taking executive decisions, but they all need to realise Potter is just an employee, and just as a player doesnt perform he's dropped,  the same should apply to the manager. 

Running out of time, rot is setting in

There is no future so long as he's in charge. He'd just be developing players for the new coach

Over 35 000 signed Sack Potter petition. Do it for the club

Petition · GRAHAM POTTER TO BE SACKED · Change.org

How many of those 35,000 will be lining Boehly's pockets (therefore effectively paying Potter's wages) in 5 days time?

If fans really want a manager change than the strongest message that could be sent is a half empty Stamford Bridge.

Don’t think Boehly & co understand that they all look like fools for backing this guy as long as they have/are willing to. Can’t be serious about this season or next if they want to give Potter time. Like at all. Maybe he will get it right by 2030…..

Abramovich, who mercilessly sacked Mourinho two times  at the start of his fourth season and the middle of the second spell , Ancelotti just a season after the double in the Goodison tunnel 

What would happen to Potter these days under Abramovich

He wouldn't make the mistake of hiring him in the first place.
 

For me Villas-Boas was different because he had won trophies at Porto. Potter has won nothing of note. Maybe a few Swede titles in lower divisions thats about it.

Chelsea owners continue to back Potter but there is now growing concern that the next two games will be make or break for him. It's not just the owners faith that is being tested either.

Law posting anything that has a shadow of doubt over english manager means the situation must really, really, really serious and that's a great news.

Impossible to say how many of the nearly (40 000 now) attend games -possibly 5% ? That was a last resort at Old Trafford -didnt really accomplish anything. The problem with SB is its many day trippers, package buyers and corporates-would they boycott ? Rhetorical. Hope youve signed it Tomo.

Not sure I agree with that, Dortmund isn't even sold out yet and the game is next week. If as much as a quarter of the regulars voted with their feet there's not a cat in hells chance we sell out even factoring in the tourist/day trippers.

Look at Arsenal fans for example, years and years they moaned about Wenger and protested to get him out to no avail, it wasn't until The Emirates was half empty they finally got their wish. Liverpool fans got Roy out using the same tactics.

There's only one language billionaire owners care about and that's cash. It's not just the loss of matchday income (plus refreshement, megastore earnings etc) that will scare them shitless, the brand damage it would cause would force their hand pretty quickly.

Can we bring some cfc women players into the first team - Kerr and James...Oh never mind Potter would transform them into shit players after playing couple of games...

If we're going down that route, might as well bring in Emma Hayes as coach

Thats true to an extent - though CL tickets even under Mourinhos successful period were sold off cheaply sometimes hours before kick off, advertised in the Evening Standard.

Attendances at the new Library have always been iffy. Wenger went because Kroenke (probably similarly to Boehly/Clearlake), was content for CL participation every year as long as revenue poured in, and then the lack of trophies with the Arsenal brand getting trashed. The Ozil/Sanchez debacle was the icing on the cake. That does sound uncannily the same as what we have at the moment with players.

I think with moneymen selling a product, the brand getting trashed is what they fear most. Once that starts...
