Potter Defends His Chelsea Record
Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter has defended his seven-month tenure at Stamford Bridge. Despite being dismissed in April 2023, Potter believes that key factors contributed to his struggles.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Potter cited injuries to key players like Reece James and Wesley Fofana as significant setbacks. Additionally, the club’s decision to invest heavily in new players during the January transfer window posed challenges.
Potter emphasized that integrating new players, especially those coming from different leagues, takes time. He argued that the pressure to deliver results after spending £300 million on new signings was immense.
While Potter acknowledged the challenges, he expressed his belief that the club made the best decisions at the time. He defended the transfer strategy and the support provided to the team.
