Roman Abramovich demanded success and silverware, which all came in bucketload­s, but then the Russian would grow tired of the playing style of the team and fire the manager. He went through 13 managers in 19 years. Todd Boehly is on two managers in 100 days.

“I just thought the new regime at Chelsea would be different to Abramovich,” says former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.

“It’s a ruthless club and I’m not sure [Graham] Potter is the right fit. Maybe Chelsea are saying they want to do things differentl­y in the future in terms of having a coach in charge rather than a manager.

“But if I was Potter, I’d find it hard to believe they’re going to do things differentl­y. Unless he gets results instantly they’ll be getting another new manager in 12 months.”
