Loving all the reactive abuse Swansmen receiving. The age of entitlement has arrived.

You mean Boehly won’t let himself open his own cheque book?
It's not just Boehly is it. There's other investment firms included in the ownership. He may be the most prominent, but he's not the only name holding a sharing interest.

Potter got a lot of plaudits from pundits and press the whole time he was here, but no doubt the timing really worked in his favor with some recency bias when Chelsea decided to move on from Tuchel.

It’s like any club if you watch week in week out you see the flaws in managers and players. Now and again you watch a game different teams and think x player is good and their fans will say na he’s shite most of the time.
We suffered long winless runs under Potter played well didn’t score and we all thought and the pundits it was a striker issue, nope RDZ has proved that isn’t the case at all.

Assuming Fulham fans

Fulham fans would surely be saying "I say, Graham old chap, keep persevering what! It's those wretched scoundrels in your team."

Interesting to see that.

As I wrote the other day, the run from April (particularly Arsenal and Spurs away; Man Utd and West Ham at home) really changed perception imo.

And the difference was Caicedo...

Brighton factually.....
I don’t get this why he is not on the team coach and getting his own transport (with some of the other coaches)?
hmmm because the squad had a meeting and voted him off.

Hardly a ringing endorsement, a handful of "those fans" that get there early to see the squad arrive and hang around afterwards for two hours just to get a blurry picture. Meanwhile three thousand or so other Chelsea fans disappear into the night.

Maybe if they were playing some distance away from Chelsea…..but Fulham away? Shrug
Players coach back to Cobham to collect cars? Surely they alll arrived together

As if that's genuine Chelsea fans. Lols. 'Best manager in the world, bruv'.
They just lost to Fulham and their latest signing, his signing, got sent off.

Be interesting to see how this pans out in the coming weeks as in most organisations when the performance of you and your team ends up with your boss getting shit and having their judgement questioned you usually end up out of work pretty quickly.

Like the manager the new owner(s) are also trying to win over the fans so will see if they are happy to fund an expensive change of manager!

Although Boehly and the Chelsea board keep going on about patience and the "long term project", I do think if they drop down the table further and get close to the bottom 3 Potter will be gone. Interesting tweet quoted on the BBC site saying that Chelsea are on the same number of points at the same stage of the season as Blackpool in the 10/11 season when they ultimately went down.
The idea of Potter being Boehly's man and having a long term view is all well and good, until Potter starts failing to meet Boehly's minimum expectation.
Whilst there may not be any targets for his first season, there would have been an idea that Potter could function at this level.

Right now, I would imagine Todd is begin to reassess Potter's potential.
I don't think he will last if he loses on Sunday.

Hang on... who's this Droyman character?View attachment 155706


Just seen this on the Chelsea forum ..

Oh dear

Graham Potter was appointed on September 12th. Droyman joined this forum on September 20th. Every post is effectively defending Potter and slagging the team off. Go on mate f*ck off and join the Potter forum, this one is for Chelsea fans.
Still can't post as Swansman but feel I need to reply to this.

"Droyman" isn't me. "SwedishEntity" is me.

It makes no sense that I'd think "oh, SwedishEntity is a bit obvious - I'll go around and firecely defend someone under the name of "Somethingman" instead".

The similarity in usernames suggests that someone from here is trying to make it look like I'm at The Shed End all the time. I'm not. Some of you are apparently, but personally I just check in once in a blue moon. I don't even read threads because I know what every thread says already, and I also know that I'm not interested in fencing for Graham over there right now.

Whatever loser from here spending time at The Shed End roleplaying as me: you're peak tragedy. I thought I was a bit silly posting a lot on NSC, but this weird roleplay thing over at The Shed End is just taking the patheticism (may not be a word but now it is) to the next level.

Not even doing a good job: you can use two or three exclamation marks over a lifetime and this bloke just throws them around in pretty much every post.
