Blues need a break most as struggling Potter seeks squad reset
Evening Standard
|November 14, 2022
UNREST is growing among Chelsea fans going into the World Cup break.
Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle leaves the Blues eight points outside the top four and eighth in the Premier League.
For Chelsea, three Premier League defeats for the first time since 2015 is clearly not good enough. The last time that happened, Jose Mourinho was soon sacked by Roman Abramovich.
Current incumbent Graham Potter, though, is not under that same pressure.
The Todd Boehly-Clearlake ownership group gave him a five-year contract when he was appointed in September and committed to a long-term project to build around him. Potter has had his say on the recruitment structure at the club, for example, with several new hires from his former club Brighton coming in to work on transfers.
Co-owner Boehly spent great care in picking Potter, who he believes is stable and good enough to bring Chelsea success over the longer term.
