Graham Potter’s Chelsea losing to a sadly Nathan Jones-less Southampton has had a significant impact on the Premier League sack race. Gary O’Neil’s Bournemouth getting a win at Wolves also a factor.
We’ve ranked the top-flight managers by their chance of being shown – or showing themselves to – the door, starting with the favourite, according to the best odds currently available at oddschecker.com.It’s certainly been a difficult start for Potter at Chelsea. Not that he’ll receive much sympathy. Having made the huge step up from Brighton he’s had multiple injuries and daft suspensions to deal with, while attempting to get the best out of an imbalanced and ever-growing squad of players.
Todd Boehly and the board continue to back him both through statements released to the press and in the transfer market. But there is plenty of work to do to integrate all the new recruits and turn Chelsea into something far more formidable than a mid-table outfit. And we remain wildly unconvinced that Potter even wants all the shiny new toys he’s been given. Chelsea does not currently appear to be a club with a clear, coherent or consistent plan.
Maybe he should have stayed at Brighton!! There's always a place for everyone to shine. Wrong place , wrong results.
