Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!“Jamie Carragher and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have advised Graham Potter on how to avoid being sacked as Chelsea head coach. Potter’s future at Stamford Bridge has been uncertain due to the team’s recent poor performances, including a run of five winless Premier League games before the World Cup break. Although they ended the streak with a win over Bournemouth and a draw against Nottingham Forest, Potter has faced criticism from some Chelsea fans and is under pressure to improve the team’s results. Carragher and Hasselbaink have expressed their concern and given Potter guidance on how to address the situation.”
“Jamie Carragher has warned Graham Potter that the culture at Chelsea is one of ruthless decision-making and that Potter needs to turn things around quickly in order to keep his job. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Chelsea’s match against Manchester City, Carragher emphasized that while he doesn’t want to see a manager lose their job after only 10 matches, Chelsea has a history of making tough decisions and Potter needs to be aware of that. The former Liverpool defender also encouraged Potter to do well as an English manager, but reminded him that he should not be blindly defended and that his performance needs to improve.”
“Carragher pointed out that if Potter was the manager of Tottenham, Arsenal, or Liverpool, the conversation about his potential dismissal after only 10 games would not be happening. He noted that the owner of Chelsea has a history of making swift managerial changes and questioned whether the current situation with Potter would be treated any differently. Carragher also emphasized that Chelsea fans expect their team to be competing for trophies and the team’s current position will not be acceptable to them.”
“Hasselbaink added that while Potter will be given time to implement his ideas, he needs to earn that time by winning matches. According to Hasselbaink, being in the top four is important for attracting top players and remaining competitive, and Potter needs to focus on achieving that goal in order to secure his position. Hasselbaink stated that Potter will be given more time, but emphasized the importance of winning games in order to maintain that support.”
