Chelsea manager Graham Potter is under pressure after Friday's 4-0 defeat to Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Underfire manager Graham Potter admits Chelsea fans need to see more
Graham Potter would be sacked as he struggles in the Chelsea dugout. If Todd Bailey decides to sack the 47-year-old, he would hold the unwelcome record of being the shortest tenure at a club during the Premier League era They have struggled to battle for the top spot and their 4-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday only added to the bleak mood throughout the venue...
Chelsea only hired Potter in September, shortly after the brutal decision to sack Thomas Tuchel from his duties
Since then, the Blues' season has spiraled from crisis to crisis, with the West London giants being little more than a shadow of their usual selves this season. With Chelsea in free fall and talk of a possible sacking of Potter growing, the 47-year-old appears at a loss to change his team's situation.
And if Bailey decides to wield his ax again, the former Brighton and Swansea bosses will leave a mark they don't want.
With just four months of football experience in the capital, Potter will have the shortest tenure of any Chelsea manager during his league days in the Premier League.
Roberto Di Matteo was given the Blues job permanently shortly after he led them to Champions League football as interim manager in 2013, which lasted for at least five months.
However, Roman Abramovich was fired in November of the same year because he wasn't convinced he was the right person for the biggest job of them all
Luis Felipe Scolari's tenure was eight months into his tenure, and the Brazilian said he was sacked in February 2009
Andre-Villas Boas was sacked after failing to gain endorsement from the great blues players, which took him eight months to rise to fame.
Maurizio Sarri's stay in the dugout lasted 11 months, even though he was previously convinced Chelsea was the right man for the job.
Of course, this list doesn't include interim bosses like Rafa Benitez and Guus Hiddink

Potter ripped through his team's performance after losing to City on Sunday, saying:
"Obviously, we're not in a great moment ourselves. We were careful in the first 20 minutes, but we didn't attack the defense enough. We didn't attack like we wanted.
"I think Manchester City are really good at preventing you from doing that At the same time we fought.
"In terms of free kicks and weird penalties, it was a great first goal and we were down 2-0 and have to chase the ball against Manchester City

"The first half was painful and tough for all of us. In the second half we had to react and I think there are some positives with the young players
“I thought they gave it their all and showed that quality, but it's a shame they're out of the competition Congratulations to Manchester City, you deserved to win, of course.”
"I already said that you can make excuses and look for reasons, or you can say that's not enough Both answers are correct
“So we have to keep improving and we have to come together as a football club because obviously we are suffering as a football club and that is not good at all where we are now."
