Thomas Tuchel gets harsh Chelsea treatment as true feelings are quickly shown by Todd Boehly

Chelsea's new owners can't be criticised for taking their time. Whatever the general feeling is regarding Thomas Tuchel's sacking, be it harsh, too soon, questionable timing considering the recent transfer backing or not good enough to replace a Champions League winner with someone without the same relevant top flight success, the owners moved swiftly.

Graham Potter was announced before the body was cold for most Chelsea fans. It was a move that happened so suddenly post-Dinamo Zagreb that getting to grips with the decision has been tough. Considering that the new owners have had reservations for a while, their decisiveness in striking Tuchel down this early on in the season is at least refreshing in that sense.

Whilst it's scary that, without prior footballing knowledge at the elite end, Todd Boehly is prepared to make these types of calls with such haste, their sudden call to action and willingness to make tough calls is a point to be positive about, in some senses.
