Potter Sacked

They're dropping like flies.

Steve eating filberts down chelski high road...

Daily Mail said 3 hours ago they were still backing him, top journalists in the know again.

Busy day for taxis.

This clown could've been sacked at least half a dozen times.

Imagine he was brought in to replace Tuchel.

Nagelsmann next manager.

seems so the sensible choice

Another good English manager sidelined from a big club; Moyes (lauded at Everton - sidelined at Man Utd). I do not think the managers were at fault at Chelsea. I think it's the set-up, and procurement principals eg Lukaku. Which pea brain responsible?
Maybe Klopp next. He needs a new club and new challenge.

Chelsea spent 21m to get him, and now have to pay who knows how much to get rid given he was given a 5 year contract. Must be the expensive managerial transaction ever surely.

Also have some sympathy with him tbh, Chelsea are a basket case, spent a load of money, but the squad building has been dreadful, no way he brought in those players.

Imagine the lot of players from the get go judged him on nationality and experience too and didn't give their all.

they over paid massively for decidedly average players and sacked the manager when he didn't make it work. Despicably run club

2 managers gone today,wouldn't mind seeing either
@ West Ham.

After burning every managerial option under the sun. There is only one final frontier...

not sure Potter will be too sad looks bad on CV but everyone knows its a revolving door for managers at Chelsea so it won't harm his future prospects blow somewhat softened by compensation on a 5 year contract at £250k a week so payout will be measured in how many millions.
He might sit and wait till end of Euro 24 and hope to pick up the England job should Southgate walk after we get knocked out

Potter was fortunate to last as long as he did. He was horribly out of his depth and the job has seriously aged him. The players do as little as possible on the pitch and their performance on Saturday evening was utterly woeful. Chelsea's collection of players were beaten by a team where everyone knows their role and they all work together to help each other. When Micah Richards rightly points out Reece James is a right back and should be playing there you know your manager has lost the plot. Potter seemed incapable of forming an opinion as to what his best team was and getting that 11 on the pitch and I was astonished to read he went on holiday during the International break rather than working with the players he still had at the club. He can enjoy a very long holiday now. A village manager at a big City club was only going to end very badly but at least he had the sense to get a 5 year contract!

I imagine it's not his fault they haven't got a centre forward.   Recruitment has been diabolical too.  Aubameyang Sterling and Koulibaly ffs!!  Bet Napoli couldn't believe their luck.

He's gone from the club with the best recruitment in the league to the club with the worst.

nuk money doesn't seem to be a problem at Chelski does it another wodge blowing in the wind giz a job I can do that.

did Potter look like someone who cared about money, he looked 10 years older in 7 months at Chelsea which tells you the job mattered to him rather than some pay off which he clearly didn't want, he'd of done a Conte and come out and slammed the owners only this time for foisting so many players on to him which naturally causes disharmony within the squad when big names have to be left out, though that doesn't explain some of his baffling decisions, Emery made them at Arsenal, but he's still an elite coach, when you have to manage up and pander to the owner, accepting their players and a sporting director who knows fk all about management then your job becomes very difficult, the role of a SD is largely pointless, could you imagine someone telling Fergie what players were coming into the club over his head

This mug Boehly has not got a clue about football, sacked all the people at the top of the club, including Cech, when he came in and seems to have surrounded himself by yes monkeys. Potter needed to trim the squad down to a manageable size, have a pre season with them, assemble his own squad of players, get rid of any dead wood or player surplus to requirements, which seems like Aubameyang for starters, and then go from there, instead they've ripped up his 5 year contract at a point where CL football for next season was already lost anyway, they'd have at least looked competent in giving him more time and maybe in the long run, shrewd for doing like with Arteta when he easily could have been sacked early on for some of the results he was getting, but over time he has now pretty much got the group of players that he wants, and got rid of players like Ozil who he didn't.

Their next manager will probably a Nagelsmann who'll come in, have a new managers bounce effect, do well for a while, hit a slump and then be sacked, they wont get an elite coach like Tuchel any time so as managers of that calibre will not be told what to do and who they should buy or will have forced onto them to satisfy some mug sporting director and his ego.

Potter would suit Tottenham, he had Brighton playing good football and let's be honest, that's all they want, more than winning trophies, any trophy he does win for them would be a bonus.

But on the face of it, Boehly is looking like some dumb American cowboy who's swung into town pointing at all the goodies in the shop and said, I want this, I want this, I want that and I want some of that. Who in the world pay over 100m for Fernandez, how do these people become wealthy regardless of their convoluted contracts to sidestep FFP.

It seems to be it's the owner who is more out of his depth than Potter who simply cannot be judged correctly given the unique circumstances, but keeping throwing money at a problem and eventually someone will fix it, but it wont be any thanks to this mug owner. Kind Regards.

Looks like it could be an interesting next 12 months couldn't it mesmerised.

Imagine spending all that money and not having one reliable keeper or striker. Boehly is a complete mug but you could see from very early on that Potter had a major problem scoring goals, something his Brighton teams also had.

They will need to offload valuable developed players like Mount or James to be able to afford the players they still need and stay within FFP. That's the danger of FFP when you spend like Boehly has - you have to sell valuable players that other clubs want and keep expensive flops like Kepa in order to realise profits and avoid cystallising losses in any given accounting period/season. Chelsea should be OK tho as they have plenty of valuable developed players like CHO, RLC, Gallagher etc they can sell to generate funds to spend in the coming seasons.

The next Chelsea manager will probably be one of the available "A" listers but I reckon they should buck the trend and go and get the Brighton manager

All the money they've spent but the key movement was Rudiger out and Koulibaly in

Apparently the players called him Harry
J R Rowling would be pleased

Lampard back

Chelsea, the gift that keeps on giving. Have they finished paying him off for his last stint yet ?
