Jordan on TalkSport suggesting that Potter should not have gone on record about the death threats, needs to face up to death threats and deal with them apparently, comes with the territory. Apparently lacking leadership skills. Slightly harsh
Too many players , that appears to be the problem now

Graham Potter fears training sessions are undermined by bloated squad
EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Graham Potter fears his training sessions at Chelsea are being undermined by having too many players to work with after the first-team squad swelled to 31 in January.
Under-fire Chelsea boss Graham Potter feels bloated squad is ruining his training sessions after club splashed out £553m on new players… amid first signs of owners' faith cracking
- Graham Potter is facing increasing pressure after Chelsea's defeat to Tottenham
- Potter has been forced to adapt training sessions to keep all players involved
- Players have been forced to wait or work in small groups until they are required

What sort of timescale are you thinking ? The owners may be patient (and credit to them for that) but will they stand for long the grief from the fans ?He will come good, I still believe.
Another thing that makes this fascinating to watch.

I'd be very surprised. You don't usually get to quit and negotiate a settlement.

I'm hoping it does at this point. He has suffered enough for me. I'd like him to prove those idiot fans wrong.He will come good, I still believe.
Except that ion this case, both sides would save face, so it might suit Chelsea to pay him off but get him to "take the blame" to save Boehly's blushes?

He does have a point. The Chelsea transfer business model is as wrong as it can be for Potter imo. He obviously didn’t do his due diligence as he rushed to pack his bags.Too many players , that appears to be the problem now

He made his bed and it must feel full of nails now he’s jumped into it.

If he wasn't such a Yes Man he could have had some say in the size of squad he felt he needed

It is quite harsh. I'm also certain many, many managers would've had anonymous death threats via email/social media.
Wasn't there a banner hanging outside Everton's training ground saying 'we know where you live' on Benitez first day?
Disgusting, all of it, but it surely isn't that unusual.
I guess the question is what does bringing it up in a press conference achieve? I don't think he's handled his pressers very well. (Although totally understandable given his lack of experience of this kind of exposure, pressure and scrutiny).

He'll be fine once they smash Leeds at weekend. Everything will look rosy for a few days at least!

yeah probably against us, tonking us 5-0 and he will gloat about he knew it would come together.He will come good, I still believe.
He is full of his own self importance, blaming everyone and everything.
he might have a massive squad, but everyone of them would probably walk into any squad in the league, lame excuse for very poor recent results.
It is his swapping and changing and no direct vision.
Chelsea plan to stand by Graham Potter even if they lose to Leeds and Dortmund
Chelsea are determined to give Graham Potter time and do not want to make a decision on his future based on the next two games

He could also thank the mad Yank for all the players but calmly tell him the majority of the youngsters will be training with the U23s until the summer. He can make decisions about how to manage and coach 30 odd players. First it was too many injuries, now it's too many players.
I said this on another thread but I've no idea what MacAuley and Winstanley are doing there, other than swelling their bank balances and LinkedIn exposure.
The recruitment strategy is as "un Brighton" as it's possible to be, as "un Potter" as it's possible to be and totally unsustainable. If their next job is to unload some of the 31, well, good luck getting them to agree and receiving decent money for them. If it's to start a sustainable policy starting in the summer, what on earth has this year been all about? I'd say Boehly has lost the plot, but I'm not sure he ever had it. You cannot get in people from Brighton and just turn it into Brighton when you're paying over the odds for all your players, recruiting Raheem Sterling, coveting Ronaldo and buying three players who all play left centre back without having a striker that the coach trusts.

Sums up the American approach. Thank goodness for Tony Bloom and his principles.

That would doubtless work for Potter. The rest of Potter's merry gang doubtless wouldn't fare nearly so well in any pay-off arrangement. A lot of them must be seriously sweating on their futures already. What a complete car crash
I don't think Potter can turn round the toxicity against him from Chelsea fans.
He will need some phenomenal achievements now and there will still be some who'll be entrenched regardless.
He needs a break and a fresh start elsewhere. I'm sure there is a deal to be done on the payoff.
