Gary Neville had previously "hoped" Graham Potter wouldn't be under pressure at Chelsea and claimed their project would "take time".
In the end the former Brighton boss got less than seven months at Stamford Bridge with a loss to Aston Villa at the weekend proving to be the final straw. Todd Boehly paid over £20m to get Potter out of the Amex, but 11 defeats in his 31 matches has now seen him sacked.
Neville, who himself had a short stint in management, is among those to call for patience in the past and commented previously that Potter was being handed a tough gig given the fallout of the previous ownership and the huge sums being spent on players.
