Chelsea’s stance on sacking Graham Potter after Tottenham loss

Chelsea reportedly have no plans to sack Graham Potter despite Tottenham inflicting yet another Premier League defeat on the under-fire head coach. The Blues have now won just two of their last 15 games across all competitions after a 2-0 reverse at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

The Chelsea hierarchy apparently backed Potter following last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at home against Southampton and supposedly retain their faith in the former Brighton boss. They felt that their next three games, against Spurs, Leeds and Borussia Dortmund, would provide an excellent opportunity to win over support.

But Potter has now hit a new low after Spurs eased to a win over the West Londoners. Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane scored second-half goals against the lacklustre Blues. 

Some fans called for Potter to be sacked after the relegation-threatened Saints walked away from Stamford Bridge with a rare three points last week. And those supporters are set to be disappointed once against as Chelsea reportedly have no plans to sack Potter in the aftermath of Sunday’s latest setback. 

According to CBS Sports, Chelsea will not part ways with Potter after losing at Spurs. That is despite a woeful run of form that shows no sign of improving. 

Co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali supposedly retain their faith in Potter. They plan to stick with the 48-year-old, who wide-ranging reports suggest that Boehly and Eghbali see as pivotal to their long-term project.
