Did the same to join us from Swansea we shouldn’t be surprised. Judas can do one get sacked and disappear into the football wilderness.
hadnt really considered they have new owners. so the old way of Chelsea operating is invalid.

Don’t hate at all he won me around when he dropped Maupay.Oh dear you have managed to hide your hate for so long
You think Potter is only motivated by money? In all the interviews I have read or seen that doesn't seem likely.
I am sure players like Gross extended their contracts on the basis that Potter is the manager. I wonder just how unsettled this would make the players. If I was one of them I would be gutted and pretty disillusioned.
Finishing the project would be European qualification .
The project is completed to a certain extent.
It would be too risky to hang on and risk us going backwards a bit and him never getting this chance again .
Potter will back himself to get the players Chelsea have on the same wavelength . He doesn’t even need signings . Just needs to pull them all together and get them to all buy into it . Good job to take
Good postI've made a comment about him finishing his work here first I think. Events might prove me completely wrong but I think Potter is unlikely to leave mid-season for many reasons, but particularly now because he's all about learning and progression and improvement on a personal and professional level and if you listen to him speak relationships are incredibly important to him in that. There'll be players he's working with that he'll have a vested interest in, not just as footballers but as people, and how he comes across is that all that means a lot to him.
That development and that work will be cyclical and structured along the rhythm of a season and probably into the next, adjusted as they go, but on a trajectory towards some mutually agreed goals (no pun intended). When you're doing that kind of work with someone, and you're that invested in them on a human level, you don't just end something, you work towards a "graceful" finish. That doesn't have to take months, it can be a couple of weeks, but acknowledging ending and having a "good" ending will be important for Potter. I can see him leaving in the summer because that's a natural transition. Leaving mid-season I think would be tough because it'd leave a lot of unfinished work and relationships that don't have that end - I'm sure he'd get over it, but that'd nag at him because it goes against what he's demonstrated as his values. In terms of his project finishing I think that's a big part of it - has he ended well with this team and these players, has he honoured his values? Sounds fluffy, but that's what makes him so good. I think he'd lose a bit of that if he left now.
In the immediate though, the performance of this team is the proof of everything he stands for. Again, I might be proved wrong in the next 48 hours, but I think it'll mean a lot to him to at least finish this season and prove his methods work and can sustain that performance. He's spoken himself about what he's trying to do with the team and the players: now he's got them doing it it's the time to maximise that, enjoy it, and be confident even if it all goes wrong between now and the summer he's still going to be linked with every top job just as he has been for the past 18 months.
This is happening to fast for it not to be planned and discussed between Potter the club and Chelsea weeks ago, tucal sacked in the morning Potter interview in the afternoon,, no initial resistance from us, no time to even think or talk before jumping on a train to London
When he decides he wants another one (or he’s sacked).That would be my question too, at what point will he consider his job here complete?
Fair points but it makes the Aubameyang utterly bizarre. Why would they back Tuchel so heavily in the market if they knew he was getting the push?Yep, the call definitely wasn't cold. If the media is correct Tuchel was going before last night, and probably the new owners decided in the summer they didn't like him. It could've easily been brought up during the negotiations for Cucu. Just a polite enquiry. Potter is likely to have told us 'i'd want to at least see what they have to say'. Call comes in, everything happens.
Ultimately, it will be down to Potter and what he gets from their chairman. Bloom is chill, we get the money or we keep a highly motivated and loyal manager.
Just seen Chelsea training ground only about hour away at Cobham so family could stay living here
