Graham Potter | turns down Ajax job
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
He is one last loss away from the sack.
Going from a top manager like tuchel to Potter is so laughably bad. Downgrading intentionally.
Threat for what? Maybe for top 4...
This cnut is gonna get sacked before we play them sadly
Poch is a decent manager, his time at PSG wasn't great, but he is a lot better than that. I don't see many big egos at Chelsea.
Yeah especially serial winner Poch.
I'm getting worried now because this guy is just begging to be sacked, I just hope they hang on to him till the end of the season so he can inflict maximum damage.
Surely that's the end for Potter, don't think it's all his fault it looks like Boehly has just thrown money at the squad with no real plan
Would Zidane take them knowing plenty of money has already been spent?
This has Arteta written all over it... In 2/3 years time he will be very good.
So you're saying we won't go down ?
Others have done better with far less, this cloak of invincibility he’s been afforded pisses me off when you have clowns like Alyson Rudd going after EtH after his 2nd league game when we lost to Brighton.
It would be great to have an English manager do well but this isn’t that manager, he’s been terrible.

Let’s put it this way, he’s unlikely to be one of the 20 options.
This would be ideal for them. Hope it doesn't happen.
Potter suffering because Chelsea have an unhinged owner that thought he was playing real life football manager.
West Ham Integrated?
Was Arteta this bad?
It was recently said he'd only consider coaching one of "his 3 clubs"
He's never played for Marseille but it is his City and he grew up cheering on that club (With Enzo Francescoli as his idol if I'm not mistaken).
Unfortunately for him, the pressure was always going to be put on him due to the owners reckless spending. The owners will get away with their part in all of this.
They have another good manager that was highly rated and fit the same type of style. Good planning from Brighton. But you can't take that away from Potter.
No. He was fairly mediocre in terms of results but there was a clear strategy and playing style he was trying to institute. Plus I think he was helped by not spending ridiculous sums of money.
So far you still look good. Spurs away next though.
Arteta had a terrible period, but it was after stabilizing the club and winning the FA cup.
How many points did they finish on in 15/16? Threatening to beat that total as have plenty of tough away games left.
Nah you could at least see what Arteta was trying to build there. Haven't really got a clue what Chelsea are doing. It's reminiscent of United with Woodward and [insert whatever manager here]. They are all over the place
The noose is firmly around his neck now. Needs a few results big time.
Classic Chelsea, knowing them they'll win the league next season.
He'll be sacked long before they play us.
You can see why though. They've overspent on some players, spent loads on youngsters that they probably don't intend on playing any time soon, have had players injured that they spent a lot on. Then you've got crap signings like Auba, who were done because they're desperate. Then obviously week over £100m on 1 player. I think some of their signings will be good in the long run, but it's been scattergun so far out of desperation. Their team aged overnight and required a major rebuild, leaving them panicking.
This has Chelsea written all over it... in 2/3 years time they will be on their 3rd manager since letting Tuchel go.
The screw is turning.
It's not just that though, the way they played was phenomenal at times. Their xG was crazy at one point if I remember right. They just couldn't put the ball in the net. If he got Chelsea playing like that, with the organisation and tactical superiority, then they'd be a force.
Lacks personality to be at a big club
Will these guys ever win a football game again?
They can't score goals. It was a problem under Tuchel as well. It's mental the amount of defenders they've bought without addressing the fact they can't the put the ball in the net
On April 22
They were always going to revert to their old level when Abramovich left. Never got the impression they had cemented themselves as a top tier club beyond the money. Potter is doing a terrible job but it doesn't matter who is there, they will struggle.
