As the co-owner of a club, and having been a player, I can empathise with different sides in the Graham Potter situation.
At Macclesfield, as the ‘Chelsea of non-League’, we are everyone’s cup final. So now I know what it must be like at the top end to win every game of football. The pressure to win is immense – we have the biggest budget, the best capabilities, the biggest stadium, the best players. It’s immense.
I’ve been a Premier League player, too – at Leicester, Blackburn and Derby, and you tend to know when a manager is under pressure. You see it, feel it and, I have to be honest, footballers are very selfish.
