Graham Potter has revealed that angry Chelsea fans have been writing to him wishing he and his family would die. The club have offered him their full support in dealing with the matter but are reluctant to say whether or not the police are currently involved.
In the meantime, as preparations continue for the trip to Tottenham that could be Chelsea’s last chance of staying in the hunt for a Champions League place after their recent form, Potter is determined to put a brave face on things. “I think you need to be very careful,” the Chelsea manager said.
“The world is tough for everybody. We’re going through an energy crisis, a cost of living crisis. People are striking every other week. Things are difficult so nobody wants to hear about the poor old Premier league manager.
“Nevertheless if you ask me a question about ‘is it hard, is it tough, is it nice to hear’, as much as I’ve had support, I’ve had some not particularly nice emails come through that want me to die and want my kids to die. So that’s obviously not pleasant to receive.”
Chelsea have won just one of their last 10 matches despite the club’s owners investing over £250m in the January transfer market. Potter insists the owners remain supportive and even tried to diffuse the speculation surrounding his future with an opening joke after arriving a couple of minutes after the allotted time for his press conference.
