“It was evident to me Chelsea is too big for Potter.
“He couldn’t do the job, so you’ve got to make a change. No one’s made more changes than he has in the Premier League this year and the two that he made at the weekend? Cucurella and Reece James as two of a back three back and Loftus-Cheek as a right wingback? What’s he doing?”

“Boehly created a shambles. I don’t know where he turns next. Maybe if he was less involved, that would be a first positive step for Chelsea Fans. It’s frightening what he’s created there, frightening and no surprise to see Potter go.
“I came in here thinking Boehly was gonna tell us all how it should be done, and he found out very quickly that whatever he thought was gonna happen hasn’t and doesn’t look like it’s going to. Going out and buying what he did in the manner that he did. I have sympathy for Potter there, what was supposed to do with all those players, you know? But, on the other hand, no one’s made more changes than he has in the Premier League this year and the two that he made at the weekend? Cucurella and Reece James as two of a back three back and Loftus-Cheek as a right wingback? What’s he doing?”
