Of course Graham Potter had to take the Chelsea job… damn right he did.
But I get why people are saying he should be wary of joining a club where there are clearly attachment issues to managers, where there seems to be major dysfunction in the board and dressing rooms. C’mon though. This is football. Don’t go to Chelsea because you may get sacked after two years? You’d never take any job as a manager if you thought like that.
It was only just a year ago, towards the end of the delayed 2020-21 season that Brighton fans were calling for his head after they won only four of their last 16 matches. I remember driving somewhere one night, and a radio phone in was full of people saying he should be sacked. That’s football. That’s a manager’s life. And you have to accept it, otherwise it’s pointless being in the game. It’s pointless having any ambition.
