Ironically when Arteta was struggling the example a lot of other coaches and pundits used was Ferguson at Man U which should show you how far back they had to go for an example.
I think it’s possible Potter could stabilize them around midtable to 5th but it was a very strange hire from the jump and honestly even weirder they fired Tuchel midseason.
Long let him reign
When Potter was at Brighton he refused to buy a decent goal scorer and has done the same at Chelsea, despite spending record amounts.
So any reason he has for not getting a striker, it’s not working and Chelsea are on probably the worst run they’ve been on in the PL.
Boehly isn’t going to put up with the situation for much longer and to avoid any more embarrassment to him and the club, Potter will have to go.
i’m not 100% sure if those players were asked for by potter i reckon it is more than likely boehly playing football manager in real life.
Tbf, Arteta was extremely lucky that we didn’t have fans back in 2020/21.
That run in late 2020 really pushed the boundaries. I do think he was one or two defeats away from the board seriously re-evaluating his job. That Chelsea win on Boxing Day really turned things around for him.
Well, when they decided not to register Badiashile in the CL in favour of the other stars they signed when Badiashile has actually looked great for them since coming in then you know he ain’t calling the shots.
Some of his pressers in January were pure comedy. He was talking about essentially toning down the transfers and then the next few days they got a player or two and so on. His reaction to the signings sometimes were fucking ridiculous too. Like, you could see he didn’t even know he was getting so and so. Before January he pretty much criticized how they handled the summer, about making too many changes in a short amount of time.
It’s honestly a mess but Potter just won’t call it quits on his first big job. I actually think it would be much more commendable if he did that. Every game now he is tanking his worth more and more.
This keeps going he’ll be in Moyes territory post Man Utd, if he’s not there already.
I think there’s a very small chance he’s involved with any of those signings.
My god, this guy definitely has the fat gene. Looks a lot like Nasri btw. 
Boehly has probably given him the keys to his pie cupboard. 
2 games left for Potter.
Dortmund or bust
Will be great if they can somehow get results in the next couple so Potter stays a bit longer and continues the rot.
Agree with this.
I’d rather face a Potter Chelsea than a potentially resurgent one during our title race in April.
Yep, you’re spot on with this. Genuinely thought we’d lose that game.
If they get knocked out of the CL, I think they’ll be a mess until the summer no matter who is the manager. Its a dysfunctional squad with lots of entitled stars and they’ll have nothing to play for. What is a late resurgence going to do for them? Maybe you can squeak into the Conference League?
Yeah, Potter or not, any manager would struggle with the mess they created. You’d need some no nonsense experienced guys to come in and figure this shit out.
I’ve no clue how they even handle training sessions there with so many players, with most of them being so high profile as well.
I think at this point they might as well give him till the end of the season and save the next guy they trouble of seeing out this shite of a season.
I do wonder about this. It’s one thing if a team goes really young but it’s another if a team goes young and high profile. Those players will all be looking at Chelsea as the next big step, how will they (and their reps) react if they’re not playing, or not being registered for competitions?
100m my @$$
What I love most about this Chelsea is that there are no positives for them. Usually when teams go through a bad period there will be at least one player who stands out or there will be signs of what the manager is trying to implement. But there is zilch. There is no sign of life in this Chelsea team at all. Since November they’re the lowest scoring PL team. It’s brilliant.
Just know they’ll ditch Potter before we play them though.
Tuchel.
