Ex-Chelsea star Mario Melchiot calls for his old club to SACK Graham Potter amid their torrid run of results... insisting the under-pressure boss 'would NOT have lasted' during his playing days at Stamford Bridge

Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot has urged Blues chairman Todd Boehly to sack Graham Potter, insisting the manager 'would not have lasted' during his time at the club.

Added pressure piled on Potter after Chelsea's miserable 2-0 defeat at Tottenham last weekend, with several fans voicing their frustration towards the current state of the team, who are sitting 10th in the Premier League and 14 points adrift from the top four.

Despite splashing over £600million across two transfer windows this season, Chelsea have only won nine out of 26 matches under Potter, who has so far been backed by Boehly and the Blues board.
