Graham Potter will not face the sack if Chelsea fail to make the top four.
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is determined to bring success to the club - but missing out on the Champions League will not necessarily be a deal breaker for the new manager.
That is a big departure from the Roman Abramovich era as the former Chelsea owner gained a reputation for axing managers as soon as it became clear they were struggling to reach the top four. That is still the minimum aim for Potter this season - to get the club back into the Champions League places after a sticky start - but it will not make or break him as Chelsea boss.
