Looks like he's got a long term deal then, so maybe Chelsea strategy has changed?

He would've demanded that and they're desperate.
Boehly can afford a pay off with ease should it go wrong, Chelsea and Manure write those cheques with regularity.

Chelsea haven't had a manager last over 4 years since Dave Sexton Oct '67 to Oct '74.

Only a decent, loyal manager would honour their deal.

Literally means nothing though does it?
A 5 year contract even if GP was on 100k p/w would only be a 25m pay out, it’s nothing to the likes of the Chelsea owners, doesn’t show any commitment it’s just a worthless contract, at least Potter knows when he’s sacked after a year he’ll have a mahooosive pay out.
This is a risk for Chelsea as well, Potter has never managed a squad of big ego high profile players.

It is highly unlikely to be his decision this time
Oooh a lovely big payout for him next November.

Change of strategy? Nonsense they'll just pay him off. Short change to them and Potter knows that if it all goes pear shaped as it will invariably will.

Most never get the chance because they get sacked. It's not exactly an industry that encourages loyalty from either side.
I think fans believe some kind of utopia exists where players and managers don't move, and clubs only ever hire people they don't then sack. Fairy tales. Enough people who are voting **** you today voted for him to be sacked in the middle of March. It can't cut both ways.

I stand by my opinion that Potter has no interest at all in that job at his stage in life, but I would love it Kevin Keegan style if he walked out on Chelsea in December to take it
Without wishing to pick on you, lots of people have been talking about Chelsea's hire-and-fire strategy despite there being absolutely no indication whether Boehly will continue in the same way Abramovich operates.
People may point to Tuchel's rapid sacking, but he was a manager inherited from the old regime and it seems the relationship has never been good. It's certainly not enough to suggest that Chelsea will continue to go through managers like the Tory party go through leaders.
Possibly the best clue comes from Boehly's ownership of the Dodgers, where Dave Roberts is currently the third-longest serving manager in baseball. That certainly doesn't suggest a lack of patience.
