Todd Boehly handed Graham Potter sack instruction for Chelsea amid Premier League concern

Graham Potter's future at Chelsea continues to be under scrutiny after a woeful run of form.

Sunday's defeat to Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium means the Blues have managed only one win in their previous 11 matches in all competitions and two in their last 16. A run of five Premier League games without a win has left Chelsea closer to the relegation zone than the top four, placing Potter's job security into doubt.

football.london understands that the Chelsea boss does retain the support of Todd Boehly and the board, despite the increasing pressure. However, the feeling amongst the fanbase in recent weeks has been one of concern.

It's expected that Potter will undertake the upcoming games against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund. The Blues must come out on top against Dortmund next week to progress to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League after falling to a 1-0 defeat in Germany last month.

Despite the backing of Potter by the club's ownership, the feeling does not seem to be the same within the fanbase. According to KingCasinoBonus, Potter is the manager that has been the victim of supporters calling for the sack on Twitter.

The statistics reveals that 41.9% of tweets mentioning Potter contained '#potterout' (55,005 of 131,259) tweets. That's almost half of the fanbase tweeting about Potter calling for the club to cut their ties with the Englishman.

In the aftermath of the difficult run of form, Potter has admitted he cannot rely on goodwill from the board forever. "I know the responsibility. Results are not good enough for this club. I'm not happy with them. I take full responsibility for those results," he said after the defeat to Spurs.

"If results aren't good enough, which they aren't at the moment, you can't rely on support forever. My job is to keep going, to try and change the moment. The players are hurting. It's a tough moment for us."
