Chelsea head coach Graham Potter has, on Friday evening, provided a telling insight into his future on the club’s bench.
Potter, of course, has come in for widespread criticism for his recent efforts on the touchline in west London.
This comes as – despite a record-breaking January outlay on the part of owner Todd Boehly – the Blues continue to struggle for form in a major way.
All told, since the turn of the year, Potter has guided his side to just a solitary win from ten attempts.
A trio of successive defeats at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, Southampton and Tottenham, though, appear to have proven the straw which broke the camel’s back when it comes to the patience of many of a Blues persuasion.
In turn, calls have begun to mount for Potter to be sent on his way with immediate effect, just six months on from his arrival at Stamford Bridge.
And the Englishman was not shy in admitting that the recent nature of his side’s results mean that his job is essentially ‘in peril’.
‘When you are a head coach and you start on this journey you say “well if the results aren’t good enough then you know your job is in peril.” That’s the life we lead.
Potter continued:
‘I just have to accept that and do my best and try to improve the situation we are in until there is a point where we are not able to go forward. But that hasn’t been the case and we keep fighting.’
