This is when Graham Potter is more likely to be sacked at Chelsea
The Pride of London discuss a more likely time frame for Chelsea manager Graham Potter to get the sack from the Blues, as a consequence to further poor results.
I wish I had better news for you, but Potter may be staying for a while. Nor can I offer any truly positive insight on what’s been happening on the pitch for CFC. So, we are in deadlock. Meanwhile, Todd Boehly and his associates are at a crossroads.
A crossroads is defined as “a point at which a crucial decision must be made which will have far-reaching consequences”, like sacking a Premier League head coach. Yet, with the unacceptable division position and nothing to really gain or play for (apart from a miraculous Champions League run, maybe), changing the manager now could be fruitful for next season.
However, a trustworthy report via Daily Telegraph claims that Chelsea’s ownership do not wish to switch gaffers ‘every six months’. Additionally, the story suggests that the ‘feeling’ at the club is that Potter deserves one proper preseason at Chels’.
Therefore, the earliest we can potentially expect a replacement boss is subsequent to a hypothetically bad start to the 2023/24 season in August/September. That is, unless things soon become even worse.
What Graham Potter said after the latest Chelsea disappointment
Boos were heard at Stamford Bridge as soon as the final whistle blew, handing Southampton victory. Along with the Saints supporters’ cheers ringing out, naturally. Obtaining a favourable outcome on Fulham Road wasn’t always this simple, the ground was once a fortress.
When interviewed after the match, Potter said that he ‘knows people want something different’. Previously he referred to the relatively substandard Blues football on show since his arrival. Now he must mean a change at managerial level is longed for. If Potter doesn’t recognise that the vast majority of CFC’s fan base wish for a swap at the helm, he is sadly mistaken and thusly more out of his depth than first imagined.

Although, Potter does admit to feeling some pressure. In addition to that quote, the Englishman says ‘he is not stupid or naive’. Furthermore, he believes he must ‘keep going’ to help the team find a solution, as well as handling unavoidable criticism. Lastly, the boss admitted that, in spite of transition, he can understand the spectators’ frustrations because the side loses and underperforms.
