Just over five months after becoming Chelsea boss, Graham Potter could be set to lose his job in the coming weeks. The Premier League defeat against Southampton on Saturday means the Blues have secured just one victory in 2023 from 10 games in all competitions.
Outcomes from the other nine games have been four draws and five defeats, two of which were to Manchester City. Nonetheless it is a record that is deemed unacceptable at a club like Chelsea, especially following the transfer spend in the last 12 months.
To acquire eight new players in the January transfer window, Chelsea spent £323million with just under a third of that budget being used to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. Big money moves were also sanctioned for Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Benoit Badiashile.
