Graham Potter was wrong choice for Chelsea from the start (ESPN)

Chelsea are used to big personalities and winners as manager. Graham Potter never had the persona to succeed Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.

The fault lies with Boehly and his advisers in hiring a coach who was wholly unprepared and ill-equipped for the job. They demand a coach of a similar status to themselves -- a status earned either by achievements as a player or as a coach. But he was also more likely to embrace the approach favoured by Boehly of a coach focusing on the team and little else. None of them had won anything of note as coaches: assistant manager Billy Reid was a lower league player in Scotland whose management career peaked with eight years in charge of Hamilton Academical, while goalkeeper coach Ben Roberts was best known to Chelsea fans for conceding the then-fastest goal in an FA Cup final while playing for Middlesbrough against Chelsea in 1997. He was rightly regarded as a rising star in coaching following his work at Ostersund in Sweden, Swansea and then Brighton, but his credentials were also possibly overstated by virtue of him being an English coach in the Premier League -- a rarity in recent years. He guided Brighton to finishes of 15th, 16th and 9th in his three full Premier League seasons at the Amex Stadium, but his efforts already look set to be eclipsed by his successor, Roberto De Zerbi.

Chelsea: Potter without magic, gone after 207 days, with no ... (Premium Times)

Boehly hired Potter to renovate the building, but the results were bringing down the entire structure. Was it possible for Potter to make...

I know the personalities and the quality of the team. In the end, Potter’s lack of charisma and gravitas was properly defined in a column in ESPN that put Potter’s situation succinctly. A lot of trophies and playing all the time at the top of the league.” They demand a coach of a similar status to themselves — a status earned either by achievements as a player or as a coach.” He can point to the rash of injuries that befell his team, but in the end, he did not play the cards that were dealt to him wisely. Choose your poison: scruffy facial hair, a lack of emotion on the sidelines, or an inability to inspire fans with his words. Now they are 11th, with a minus in the goal difference column. Loud boos at halftime and full-time provided enough weight for the owners-Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali-to make a decision on behalf of the majority of Chelsea fans. The main reason for this is that Potter lacks the knowledge base required to work with top-tier players. Boehly hired Potter to renovate the building, but the results were bringing down the entire structure. I did not conclude this by accident, as I deliberately tried to think rationally about the Chelsea situation. Throughout the franchise, Potter’s success relied on magic to propel him forward.
