Graham Potter is still without club now. I thought he shouldn't have been signed by Chelsea in the first place as I saw it as a risk. Because Chelsea can be much more successful with managers who have at least a decent experience with big teams in Europe. Potter wasn't such manager so it is normal to have doubts about him.
I'm afraid he couldn't prove me wrong about this and his time was a big failure. I think he should go back to managing average teams in the league. I'm not saying this to belittle him of course. I'm saying it because he is much more successful with such teams. We have all seen how good he was with Brighton in the end.
Funny enough I thought Potter will do great at Chelsea. He was really good at Brighton and I felt he will replicate the same performance with Chelsea. How wrong I was. I really don't know what happened t Potter in Chelsea but he was beyond awful. His team played so badly. Chelsea should have fired him earlier.
But then again, Chelsea went ahead to hire Lampard. What exactly were they thinking? If Chelsea had gotten a better manager after sacking Potter they would have finished in a better place on the table. probably not a among the top 6, but definitely not 12th position.
It seems you are oversimplifying something. imagine, how this mess was started by Todd Boehly. Graham Potter was sacked after just seven months in charge of Chelsea. but wait, Chelsea must fulfill the calculations regarding compensation for the dismissal. it was originally touted that Potter could potentially receive £50 million in salary benefits, but other reports suggest Chelsea have only paid £13 million in benefits. imagine, if he was fired earlier. that means, Chelsea must pay a larger amount than that.
Well, now the question is, why did Chelsea bring in a mediocre coach. because a coach who has a proven track record does not want his career to be at stake if he is unable to bring Chelsea back to life after being left by Tuchel. maybe that's why, Todd Boehly finally made an offer to Potter. as I said before, from 9 matches Potter was able to bring Chelsea without defeat. but trouble came when Chelsea's players were again hit by injuries, which in the end Potter was unable to handle them properly. it seemed unfair to me to place all the blame on Potter's shoulders. he has done his best, unfortunately maybe not the time for Potter to manage a team as big as Chelsea. well, how, is it worth Potter to bear the blame for which Todd should be responsible.
