Graham Potter receives death threats.
In great difficulty at Chelsea, Graham Potter suffered the anger of the supporters. The manager of the Blues receives death threats which also concern his family. A situation inevitably difficult to live for the technician.
For Graham Potter, the big winter recruitment looks like a poisoned gift. Chelsea’s huge investments inevitably put pressure on the manager.
So after a series of 5 games without a win in all competitions, including a humiliating defeat at home against the red lantern Southampton (0-1) last Saturday, the critics fuse.
Potter’s children threatened
Worse still, Potter, singled out for a supposed lack of involvement, finds himself insulted and even threatened with death by the supporters!
«I received a few emails which were not very pleasant and which wished my death and that of my children, revealed the coach of the Blues. It’s obviously not fun.“And for good reason, these messages do not only affect his professional life. “You could ask my family how my day and theirs is going, he added. It’s not pleasant at all.»
The manager suffers
«(…) It’s not easy to say. Your family life is affected, your mental health suffers, your personality… It’s difficult“, Recognized Potter, again supported by its leaders, but far from being fulfilled in the English capital. “I understand. The fans are going home and they are very upset because the team is not winning, imagined the former Brighton manager. But I can assure you that my life has been just as average for three or four months, apart from the fact that I am grateful for this experience.»
«You suffer, you are injured, he confided. When you are in private, you show your real emotions with your family.This Friday, Potter was apparently ready to share them with the media. The one who replaced Thomas Tuchel last September also took the opportunity to attack journalists. “For four months, I have been under pressure because you guys need to sell stuff, he reproached. What do you expect at the end?»
Potter did you have it?
These rare secrets from a coach show how unbearable the situation is becoming. Under these conditions, and with a disrupted workforce, the current 10th in the Premier League, beaten in Dortmund (1-0) in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, will find it difficult to raise the bar. One can even wonder if Potter will last until the end of the season…
