Drat! and double drat!
Why would Chelsea want him, got several mates who are STH's at Brighton who reckon he's shitehouse!
Poch or Zidane ahead of potter for me.
You could argue that such players wouldn’t appreciate being told to play a different way nor the time it would take ,..

If they decide they really want Potter, he will go. No doubt.
IMHO and if I'm proved wrong fair enough, but I think he will hold out for England, when and if Southgate fails.
More of an issue than some think if Chelsea are interested. Would be very hard for GP to turn down if Chelsea come knocking as he will know he won’t get too many opportunities to manage a Champ league club! Will get a massive pay rise, be set for life and will back himself to be a success. Probably wouldn’t need to uproot the family.
If we went 6 or 7 games without a win his stock will diminish and the opportunity is gone.
Hope he stays but think we may be looking for a new manager very soon!
The immediate logic suggests they go straight to Poch or Zidane etc
However, the unknown in all this is Boehly. For all we know he may not fit the mould of normal top 6 chairmen who only look short term. Boehly may look at the success of Klopp and think he’ll tolerate a year or two without success in order to build an empire.
If Chelsea do want to speak to GP, I’m certain he will want to listen to what they have to say. The very fact that they are offering him the job as opposed to a proven CL manager suggests strongly they are looking to build for the longer term.
So in my mind it goes ….
Chelsea formally talk to GP about the job = 30% chance
Chelsea offer GP the job = 25% chance
GP takes job = 20% chance
They work on statistics now which is why they invested heavily in Cucurella and Fofana he would get time from the owner as it would be his man.If Chelsea want him, he'll obviously go. The money they'd offer would be ridiculous.
The only thing in our favour is they may think of him as too much of a risk. They will want someone who will guarantee CL football. Surely they'd go for a bigger name, like Poch?
If I was a betting man, I would already have thought they've got someone lined up, and he used to manage Spurs and Southampton.
I mean there is a disadvantage between running along Hove seafront with a hoody up as to running along the Kings Road with a hoody up
Make that 80% for the last one. No way will he not take it. People need to remove the blue and white specs.
