Chelsea's brutal sacking of manager Graham Potter is the latest twist in the brief and chaotic reign of owner Todd Boehly.
Boehly lured the 47-year-old away from the stable surroundings of Brighton and a team he had been allowed to build with patience, time and stability in September into a club where those three commodities are alien concepts.
The American gave Chelsea's Champions League-winning manager Thomas Tuchel 100 days before firing him.
And the decision to mete out the same treatment to Potter after only 31 games confirms anyone believing Boehly would be applying a lighter, more sympathetic touch to the treatment of managers than his ruthless predecessor Roman Abramovich is sorely mistaken.
