It’s Borussia or bust for Potter

A PETITION demanding the sacking of Graham Potter has garnered thousands of signatures from Chelsea fans apparently. How about a petition demanding the sacking of whoever sanctioned the signings of almost £600million worth of players in the last 12 months without including a functioning centre forward? that may be inconvenient because it would lay some of the blame for Chelsea’s predicament on the supermarket sweep-style recruitment policy of owner todd Boehly. Potter is struggling at stamford Bridge but he has been bequeathed a golden jumble of talent, bloated and shapeless. It is to be hoped Boehly recognises this and that it is why he is giving his manager more time. either way, the second leg of Chelsea’s Champions League last-16 tie with Borussia Dortmund next tuesday will be a critical moment. Go through and Potter will get breathing space. Fail to progress and it is likely to mark the end of his short reign.
