It has been an easy couple of weeks to take aim at Todd Boehly. The new co-owner at Chelsea has sacked a manager that never lost back-to-back league matches just to see his new appointment fall to three defeats in a row.
It's easy to say that under Roman Abramovich he would be under serious pressure right now, but that's forgetting that really, he would never have been in contention for the job in the first place. It would be wrong to say there is no pressure, there always is in the Premier League and the fact that Potter has an expensively assembled squad, whether it is his or not, doesn't help.
In a way, it was easier for Frank Lampard when expectations were low in 2019, but that's far from the point. Boehly now has a manager working with a squad that doesn't look capable of challenging for the top four let alone the title. Things haven't progressed well since winning the Champions League in 2021 and, though that's not Boehly's fault, on the surface it looks bad.
