I heard an interesting version that one of the reasons Tuchel was fired was that he divorced his wife and started a relationship with a girl who is much younger than him. Thus, he lost the respect of the team and the confidence of the players that Tuchel focused on football. Naturally, this was not the only reason, there is always a complex of different reasons, but at a certain moment this also played a role and shifted the scales towards dismissal.
Being the subject of gossip in dressing room, reportedly a lot more tempting xD but which I know another reason is business that doesn't conformable with Boehly. Chelsea, currently have better players, can look more capable of being a big team threat but the last few games before the break, they performed very badly even against Brighton. Is it possible Potter will be able to make Chelsea successful at least in the top 4 positions?
At the moment, bookmakers are quoting Chelsea's odds of getting into the top 4 as 4.50. In fact, it's only 25% - very little for such a big team, but given the level of competition (including new ones like Newcastle), I agree with the bookmakers. Potter has a very difficult task ahead of him and I'll be interested to see how the management decides if he fails to secure Chelsea a place in the Champions League next year.
