LOL. Premier League nonsense is sad, and Chelsea seem particularly pointless.

Rumours Leicester will owe Rodgers an 8 figure sum if they sack him. But he has to be one of the favourites.

- Year of First Game
- 1968
Sacked because he lost the last three games. Should be at OUFC at least we protect our manager……… but results will prove that over the next couple of months

Meh, they owe us as well. Cheating barsteward falling over Kevin Francis` leg.
Mind you I can remember getting in when the terracing at SB was closed, and away fans banned.
Leworthy scored first and about 20 folk got kettled as they left the ground.

If Klopp doesn't have a job for life at Liverpool after what he's done then I'll never watch a Premier League game again.
It's basically WWE now. "Sports entertainment".

Think of the pay rise and you can go somewhere else after they pay you off in a year.
To be fair WWE was class.
Chelsea should give it to The Rock 'til end of season.

These days Ferguson would have been sacked after a few more defeats to the likes of Oxford, and Man U would probably be still waiting for their first trophy since the 60s. It's all so short term - I'm sure Graham Potter isn't a better manager than Tuchel, he's just someone new who might give them a temporary boost.
Yea but he's building something with Brighton going to Chelsea could send him backwards
I doubt your financial advisor would recommend that.
Go to Chelsea on loads more money, get sacked and get a big pay off, go to next job on much more money than you were on at Brighton.
All that for putting up with being Chelsea manager for a year or two.
He is not a big name foreign manager, his spell at Brighton and managing in Sweden won’t buy him much time, if he is lucky he could be sacked by Christmas with loads of money and in a better job by the new year, great situation for him.

Lots of chat about Potter potentially getting sacked pretty lively but Chelsea aren't owner by Abramovich anymore, who's to say the new owner won't be more patient? It might be he wanted his own man in anyway and the fact they've been hopeless this season gave him the excise to get rid of Tuchel.
Seems to come from a bit of a gambling background as well so is probably quite au fair with using stats and various models to get the most out of his resources like the Brighton and Brentford owners do. If that is the case then Potter would be a great shout, he's done a fantastic job at Brighton.

I believe the answer is 10 - and it's happened four times (2008/09, 2013/14, 2017/18 and 2021/22).
[That's 10 sackings......if Chelsea do sign Potter, and Brighton have to find someone else, that wouldn't count]

Up until January 2021 Chelsea had paid out £110.5 million to dispose of managers.
Add circa £15 million for Tuchel......
Insanity.

He has already signed players, and tried to sign players on his own based on stats/metrics. Cucurella was one of his - given they have Chilwell and others, £55million on a left back wasn't a priority (given their other issues). Anthony Gordon was a Boehly target too.
Sounds like the Boehly/Tuchel relationship broke down over the signing of players they didn't need based on stats not things like character.

Was class - i.e. Attitude Era of the Rock, Stone Cold, Mankind and the Undertaker.
Now it's basically like the Premier League!
Apparently Graham Potter is on about £1-2 million a year. If he currently only has a short contract at Brighton and Chelsea come in offering say 3/4 years on £5m then I’d definitely take it!

Potter has thoroughly earned his chance at an elite club. However, if he thinks that he will get time to get things right at Chelsea, history tells you something else.
The money must be tempting though. On a personal note, it’s totally worth it.

Under abramovich id agree, but there are suggestions that the new guy has more of a reputation for sticking with managers (or at least his own appointments)
