because no one wants him so we can't ship him off and upgrade him, which is long overdue.
If/when Rice comes in the summer will you be holding him to the highest standards? Because after being told two years he's such a major upgrade I expect to see reflected in results, no excuses!

He’s probably better equipped to help us in our relegation fight. 

 
Potter now has Felix and Mudryk added to his list of players to choose from. By end of Feb, he'll be having 90% of the team fit. 

If he can deliver then, I'd be ok with him staying even if it meant we were 10th. If he still fails, I'll be a Potter out camper

 
However many times I am asked, the answer will be the same.

He took over a team that is rotten to the core; and has been stagnating for a long time. It has been hidden by cup wins, but it doesn’t change the fact that the downward spiral has been there for ages.

At least 10 senior squad members need to go. Azpi, K2, Jorgi, Puli, Ziyech, RLC, Kepa, Mendy, Kante and Kai can all be moved on.

Kova, Trevor, Mount and Sterling are all on final written warnings as well.

James and Chilly might need replacing as well if they can’t be relied upon to stay fit. 
 

If potter still struggles once they are all replaced - then I will be bang up for replacing him. But until then, I am not sure replacing will change a thing.
I hope you aren’t advising the Chelsea management. Not everyone needs to go but their squad status needs updated. RLC, Kante, Mendy, puli and Kai are good options for a squad. 
written warnings? Are they even a thing?

Trevor hasn’t been even playing regularly - warn him after one game?

 
You can call the squad rotten to the core, or blame it on the last 5 managers and Roman. At the end of the day, manager still needs to play with the cards they got, and got the best out of the limited players. There are plenty of examples of managers got something out of ordinary or out of form players, do we see it this season? Has anyone improved since Potter took over, or is anyone playing well? We aren't getting out of this sacking people, not going to get out this pinning it all on players and buy another team either.

Potter is massively out of his depth, that much is clear but our top management won't sack him. They're doing all they can to bring players in now that we need the extra cash to bring in more players instead of paying Potter his severance package

It's quite hard to improve when you end up on the injury table the moment you start playing well. 

Fyi I genuinely think our injury record is the biggest obstacle, psychologically it must be a huge factor for all the players.

The way it's going so far, I can only see Boehly sacking Potter if Potter fails to secure promotion from the Championship in his second season ... 
I think Boehly has his eyes on the Europa Conference League - he will be keen to make history being the first owner of Chelsea to win it.

I think he might be applying to the powers that be to allow bigger squads in both Premier League and Europe as we need to accomodate the dozen or so attacking midfielders / wingers we have, sorry wide receivers.

And as for Graham Potter, its being widely reported that he takes a while to get a team together and performing - why?

Sounds expensive strategy/ excuse if we miss out on Champions League for a season or two

Would be good in this poll if we could see who has voted "Yes" and who has voted "No".

You can. When you look at the results there is a little person icon under each h option. Click on that and you can see who voted. Unless it's only admin that can see it.
