Chelsea have been warned that Mauricio Pochettino may not be available for much longer as questions surrounding Graham Potter's future lingers on. It has been 30 years since a run this bad was endured and nothing of the type happened during Roman Abramovich's near two-decade long ownership.
The fact that 12 managers lost their jobs during his 19 years in charge means very little now though. The new owners are ready to push through the tricky period despite it angering fans and confusing pundits. Potter was handed a long-term contract in September, the longest and most lucrative of any manager in the club's history.
Todd Boehly and Co aren't ready to lose their patience and pull the trigger just yet but what is clear is that Potter faces a massive three matches in his Stamford Bridge career. With a trip to Tottenham on Sunday coming before what looks to be a two-game shootout to keep his job.
