Thomas Tuchel highlights the issue facing Graham Potter as Todd Boehly faces Chelsea decision

Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital completed a £4billion takeover at Stamford Bridge last year and made the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel as Chelsea manager just months later. The Blues endured a poor start to the season after a busy summer transfer window, resulting in Tuchel losing his job - 18 months after replacing Frank Lampard.

The German manager led Chelsea to their first UEFA Champions League title since 2012, a UEFA Super Cup title and FIFA Club World Cup title. Graham Potter was selected as the man to replace Tuchel but things haven't gone to plan for the former Brighton boss so far.

A number of new signings, poor form and pressure building from supporters has put the Chelsea ownership in a tough position. Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have stood by Potter so far this season and continue to back the manager as the right man to lead the club forward for their long-term vision.
