Should Graham Potter be sacked? (3rd poll)

A month later, with only 21 points in 18 league games despite spending 300m, is it time to Potter to

  • Yes, he should be sacked

    Votes: 72 94.7%

  • No, he should stay

    Votes: 4 5.3%
  • Total voters
    76
Maybe Potter has faults.

But lets see the whole picture. Which normal person will give 7 years contract without any clue if these players will fit? W. Fofana was injured when was bought. Nkuku will be available after next season. Will he be good? Enzo till now doesn't show that 120 m. are worth it. Koulibaly 60 m. with 300 000 per week, Sterling 65 m with 350 000 per week. Cucurella ??

Because our players are obviously better than most of the league, even if Potter tactically is awful we'll pick up the odd win with the talent we have alone. Not to mention it would involve Everton, bmouth, Leeds and  Southampton etc all putting together a good run of games to catch up to us. There is virtually no chance we get relegated and I don't believe you truly think there's a chance we will.

Yeah I don't think we're in danger of relegation, even if you look at Potter's form alone, 21 points in 18 games averages out to a 43 point season. With that being said, that's nowhere near good enough and he still needs to go

In reality, 21 points in 18 games makes his PL record look more generous than what it is.

Take out the first 3 games which were all wins and it’s 12 points in 15 games (2 wins, 6 draws, 8 losses).

Some of the early good performances could be put down to Tuchel's tactics still being in place

 
SwissRamble suggested we will be in financial ruin should we not finish Top 4 next season so I don't know what else Boehly and Co need to see to finally realize Potter isn't the man forward.

But that average only comes into play if the players perform robotically, consistently.

In the rut we're in, we have lost against the worst team in the league, have never won against any team in the Top 6 and now am in danger of losing every game due to inconsistent tactics and a chop and change style of management that has never been seen anywhere in the history of football probably

When has a starting XI change more than 10 times a season other than this Chelsea team right now?

 
Potter has to go it was to big a jump from Brighton to the mighty blue, which he is not handling well, I would like to see Thomas Tuchel back he understood tactics and how to change during the game and manage big ego players and knew how to win . unlike potter, also I think he is losing the dressing room

Having played 17 players last week and lost,  two of his go to players today were players that he was actively looking to move on in the last windows. Possibly 3 with RLC. If you're going to fail, do it on your principles surely. Pick your squad, stick with them and live or die by your decisions.

I said this a while back. Potter's team seem to coach out the ability of the players. I got caned for it then and probably will again but our new signings already seem to be losing confidence

God people need to get a grip and stop being so dramatic talking about relegation scraps, it's embarrassing.

The only thing stopping us from being involved is points on the board. Make no mistake we are witnessing relegation form. Can’t score and can’t keep clean sheets. Lots of the players have plenty of potential but don’t have the experience to get us out of the slump and far too many ‘fair weather’ types. The manager is now under immense pressure. Will we go down, in all likelihood, no, we do though need to arrest this slump rapidly. 

 
If you've read SwissGamble's financial analysis on our spending over the summer and January, you should be very worried. 

Heading towards financial ruin at this rate.

Two robbery wins v Palace and Villa early on is whats keeping us somewhat out of it. But we are still single digits (9 points) from 17th place and we are facing that team next. If we do not make a change I think Leeds cuts that gap down to six. Should we let Potter stay on and risk that?

We end the season against the likes of City, United, Arsenal. Liverpool, Newcastle. Anything can happen if we continue to sink.

I couldn't care less that Potter "wants to stay" that's not even relevant, of course he wants to stay the man won the lottery by getting this job in the first place, it doesn't change the fact that he's our worst manager in history...

If the only thing you could bring up is Sarri in 2023, you know you have no argument I mean Sarri wasn't liked at all but he still delivered. Potter got all the possible backing a manager could dream of and he still can't do anything!

The same Sarri that left with the loss of our only world class player and the implementation of a transfer ban.

Quick, let's get out of here.

Sarri was what caused Hazard to leave and our transfer ban? You're trolling right 🤣

Weren't you very much on the fence after Southampton? Leaning towards sack?

What in the world did you see today that changed your mind?

And wanting to stay when he's got a salary here that no club ever will match in this lifetime is hardly a surprise is it. Particularly not when he's literally the worst manager in Chelsea history yet he's the highest paid one ever.

Potter's hit the jackpot personally.
