Why Potter deserves more time at Chelsea

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has called for more time for new manager Graham Potter to achieve his goal with the team.

According to Cole, former Man Utd manager Alex Ferguson can not win a trophy with the Blues’ squad currently.

He added that it could be years before the Blues are competing for the league title again.

Recall that Potter came in as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel in early September,  the Blues sack the German after a difficult start to the campaign.

“When you come to Chelsea, you have to win games and trophies”’ Cole told the Sun.

“The club has been built on that in the last 20 years. The fans are used to big games and going to cup finals, so Potter can’t just disregard that. It will always be in the background.

“But with so much newness around the club, they seem to have gone away from that immediate success plan that Chelsea is normally associated with.

“You could employ Sir Alex and Brian Clough, all the all-time greats of management together, and they still wouldn’t make an immediate impact in chipping away at City, competing for trophies with them.”
