I'd be very surprised if they'll have to pay up the full value of his contract, although this is Chelsea so anything is possible.

They have spent 500m on players in 2 windows... and seem to have enough to pay off Potter too... !!!

Do have some sympathy for Potter. Yes, Chelsea should be doing better, but the signings were scattergun.

Albeit two levels below, but when you compare them to our approach with the targeted arrivals of Clarke, Luongo, Broadhead and Hirst - filling gaps or depth - then it made no sense whatsoever. They needed experience and a striker. They brought in neither.

True. And he was a brilliant signing for Arsenal to give them cover for Partey and Xhaka.

He always looked a bit out of his depth. Clearly a better start there with a few more wins on the board, might have won over the dressing room and got them going..But he'd probably gone past the point of no return, in terms of installing belief and confidence in whatever it was that he was trying to do.....
This is a good example, of a bright youngish manager, taking a wrong turn. Something KM has touched on, when interviewed on why he came here, and what he looks for in a job/career path.

On their forum somebody posted that an elite club needs an elite manager. The general view was that Potter was way out of his depth and had to go.

They may be right, but their arrogance and sense of entitlement is eye watering. Awful club. I can recall going there at the end of the season in the late 70s when the ground was broken bricks, rubbish, barbed wire, running track and decay. The crowd was 15k (we won 3-2). In the 86 the crowd was 13k (1-1).

Elite club? I don’t think so. One thing that is special - it’s built on the spoil excavated when they built the Metropolitan Line.

Why recruit someone like Potter and then not give it proper time?

If you want instant results then just don't bother.

Well, we all know where Roman's money came from, too..
They were 2nd division when I was a kid. Certainly not elite. I guess they'll have a younger generation of supporters feeling very entitled having been brought up through the Abramovich era....
There's a stain on that club, that will take decades to shift, imo.
