Graham Potter Chelsea

There are a number of high profile managers out of work at the moment, among those former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino who is believed to be keen on ...

You have Mauricio Pochettino lurking in the background. Nathan Jones had a better win percentage at Southampton than Graham Potter has in those 14 games at Chelsea. He said: “Two wins in 14 is simply not acceptable.

There have been calls for the 47-year-to go due to the Blues having lost five of their 10 games this year.

The Croatia defender, who also told the paper “my goal in my career is to play in the Premier League”, will get his chance to take on some of the league’s best when the 21-year-old’s side face Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday. The RB Leipzig centre-back has told the Times he “wants to play in the Premier League”, could have signed for Chelsea last summer and also came closing to joining Leeds in 2020. Tuchel took over at the Parc des Princes ahead of the 2018-19 campaign and led the Parisians to two league titles and the Champions League final before being sacked.

Graham Potter still retains the support of Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and the club's board despite the Blues' poor run of form.

Graham Potter's position at Chelsea has come under fire from some sections of club supporters and the media but he has got the support of the club directors ...

Yes, Potter has spent heavily on new players since his appointment but there is also a degree of caution that he wouldn't have brought in the similar style of players as his predecessor and therefore should be afforded more time to build his own team. Sacking Potter now would then hand the club the difficult challenge of finding a new manager that is good enough for Chelsea with just three months left to run in the season, an incredibly difficult task regardless of how big a club is. Potter (left) has been questioned by some for not showing his emotions but Boehly (right) reportedly believes he is the right man for the job But behind the scenes, Potter is said to have struck a different tone and has held tough conversations with his players and expressed his unhappiness at what they are serving up on the pitch. While results and performances are in the spotlight, the owners are said to be happy with Potter's work away from the pitch. Graham Potter's work behind the scenes at Chelsea and hopes he can turn the Blues into a force in the long term are just two of the reasons why co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali will persist with him.

Well, it's certainly the one being put to Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly, who wasted no time ousting Champions League-winning boss Thomas Tuchel for his man ...

The lack of the financial riches that a place at the top table of European football could certainly come back to bite the Blues considering their six-month splurge under their new American owners. The Potter argument is a difficult one. For a club so accustomed to winning as Chelsea have been over the last two decades, that is simply not good enough. He needs to decide on his best team and pick it every game for the rest of the season, which means starting with Reece James and Thiago Silva. It has seen Chelsea become like Brighton without the sea on a bigger budget - lots of passing without a forward line to score goals. He seems incapable of arresting the current malaise in west London and that could have disastrous consequences for the Blues. Sacking managers on a whim is not the way to build a long-term project, but there are others on the market who you'd back to get more out of this team - and there is still just about time to turn the season around if Boehly is prepared to be ruthless. Given the qualities mentioned above, maybe he has to face a serious decision of whether the club is right for him. Chelsea splashed over £200 on Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz without buying a reliable goalscorer - and allowed Tuchel to sign Aubameyang before sacking the German. In the losses to both is Boehly right to back his man and give him the time needed to turn things around or should he swallow his pride and say goodbye? He is the man who could stop the clamour for Potter's job from becoming too deafening to ignore.

Graham Potter is in trouble at Chelsea so could be available to take a job with Leeds, who are only big in England. What a load of bollocks.

They’re not being unsuccessful in finding a new manager because they are not seen as a big club; they are being unsuccessful because they are in a relegation battle and the January window is closed. We’re in a great position in the league, in the cup and in Europe. But crucially, the calls were made in October and November rather than February. The problem for Leeds is that they are a bit sh*t, Martin. Elland Road is ferocious and the locals proud. ‘But it is in attack that the chopping and changing appears to bring the least reward. Sean Dyche would have seen the opportunity and so too Howe, but those ships have sailed. They have been without a manager since sacking Jesse Marsch on February 6 and appear genuinely surprised not to have been trampled in a jostling rush of eager successors. And no Evertonian of sound mind thought they could get Mauricio Pochettino in a relegation battle. Unless you have access to the health monitoring statistics, we really would refrain from passing judgement on the workload of a player coming back from injury. “More just the turnaround and demand of the games. Surely if you have the best right back in the country available, you play him?
