Why Potter deserves backing even after slow Chelsea start

Even if we consider the financial aspect, sacking Potter makes little to no sense. Appointing Potter and his staff cost Chelsea around £20million, and Chelsea have handed him a five-year contract worth £10M a year. This means that the club would have to incur a huge loss if they considering parting ways with the Englishman.

Yes, the recent results have not been good enough. But no CFC faithful can deny the fact that there have been positive signs in the last few games. All the new signings have looked bright so far and it could only get better with time. The squad will take some time to gel and settle in, and eventually the results will come. Even if we consider the worst case scenario: Chelsea failing to secure a spot in the top four. The supporters must get behind the team and accept this minor setback gracefully. The club has a plan and it is very evident.

For those suggesting that Potter should be axed have short memories of Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, who was nearly sacked in his first or second season? The rest is history.
