Times are tough at Chelsea. If Graham Potter didn't fully realise the enormity of the task before he signed on the dotted line, he absolutely does now.
With eight defeats in the past 14 games there has been innumerable chatter about the future of the current Blues boss from fans and pundits alike, with opinions very split. Chelsea splashed out £20million to lure Potter away from Brighton and football.london understands that Todd Boehly continues to back his investment, despite the current run of form.
However, with a gargantuan outlay of £300million on eight new arrivals in January, results will need to turn around quickly for Potter to remain. It is vital for the Blues that they have Champions League football due to their incredible splurge and it is looking increasingly unlikely that they will be amongst Europe's elite next season.
