Chelsea’s owners are just as committed to Graham Potter as their head coach as they were on his appointment and consider themselves ‘collectively responsible’ for the recent poor form, which has seen the club win one in eight Premier League games.
There is no sense that Potter’s job will be in jeopardy, even if Chelsea failed to make the top four this season, because Todd Boehly, Behdad Egbahali and Jose Feliciano want to drive long-term cultural change at the club and will accept the pain of short-term setbacks in order to make the club challengers for the Premier League title again.
