Todd Boehly has no intention of sacking Graham Potter despite Chelsea’s humiliating 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
The Blues were humbled by the Saints at Stamford Bridge thanks to James Ward-Prowse’s stunning free kick. The result leaves Potter’s side 10th in the Premier League – 10 points behind Newcastle in fourth – while Southampton remain at the foot of the table.
Chelsea fans made their feelings known about Potter’s tenure by booing after their latest defeat. The Blues boss, who was appointed just five months ago, understands why the supporters are unhappy and has pledged to work hard to put things right.
Chelsea chair Boehly and the rest of the board have not changed their mind on Potter in the wake of the Southampton loss. They will support the Englishman, who has four-and-a-half years left on his contract, through this tricky time.
Boehly’s consortium completed a takeover of Chelsea last summer and sacked successful manager Thomas Tuchel in September. The German won three trophies during his 20 months in charge – including the Champions League – and reached three other finals.
Yet that was not enough for Boehly to keep Tuchel in charge. Potter stepped into the hot seat after establishing Brighton in the top 10 of the Premier League and gaining admirers through his work with Swedish side Ostersund and Swansea in the Championship.
