What Brighton fans said to Graham Potter at the Amex Stadium as Chelsea boss 'welcomed' back

Brighton and Hove Albion supporters have told Graham Potter that he will be 'sacked in the morning' upon his return to the Amex Stadium for Chelsea's clash with the Seagulls. The Blues were left blown away by the Seagulls, with Roberto De Zerbi's side leading 3-0 at the break.

Potter swapped the south coast for west London in September after Thomas Tuchel was dismissed following the west Londoners' defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League group stage opener. The 47-year-old, who penned a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge, asked fans for forgiveness upon his unveiling as Chelsea's head coach.

In an open letter published on the Seagulls' website, the former Brighton boss said he cherishes 'three wonderful years' at the club and accepted that some supporters would not be able to forgive him. He wrote: "This has been three wonderful years with a club that has changed my life, and I want to take a moment to say goodbye to all of you who have made it such a special period of my career.
