Graham Potter's credentials - or lack of - were held against him throughout his Chelsea tenure and a foul-mouthed comment left his players in disbelief.
The Blues parted ways with the former Brighton boss on Sunday after a string of poor results brought his short-lived tenure to an end. Defeat against Aston Villa proved to be the final straw for a man who some of his players felt was a "yes" man who would act on the hierarchy's plans.
Potter, though, did appear to break out of character when he issued a battle cry to the fans following their European success over Borussia Dortmund. In a forum he said that they planned to try and "win the f****** Champions League!” His explicit words were not the norm and the Athletic claims some players felt he was trying to be something he wasn't.
