Chelsea Supporters' Trust have released a statement condemning abuse aimed at Graham Potter and his family over his job at the club. The former Brighton boss opened up on the difficulties surrounding the abuse ahead of his side's clash with Tottenham.
The Blues have struggled for form under their new head coach in recent weeks, sitting 10th in the Premier League and ambling towards an aimless final few months of the campaign. The Boehly-Clearlake regime have continued to back the manager, despite the pressure mounting on him.
While there is much debate surrounding his job, the reveal of threats from some had opened a new perspective to the difficulties being faced behind the scenes. Speaking on Friday, Potter said: "It's a challenge, if you go to work and somebody is swearing abuse at you, it’s not going to be pleasant – or if you’re referred to as the worst person in the history of the club. You can say, ‘oh I don’t care’ but you know I’m lying because everyone does care what people think because we are hard-wired to be socially connected.
