Graham Potter has opened up on the unacceptable abuse he has received because of Chelsea's poor form, which has included emails wishing death on him and his children.
A run of two victories in 14 Premier League matches has resulted in Potter coming under heavy scrutiny and increased pressure. Countless supporters inside Stamford Bridge called for him to resign in the wake of the 1-0 defeat to Southampton while offensive criticism on social media has become incessant.
"It's a challenge," Potter explained this afternoon. "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.
