Here is all about Graham Potter, the Chelsea manager’s latest update on his position with the Blues and his record at the club
The Blues boss is under more pressure after Graham Potter’s team was defeated 2-1 by Fulham at Craven Cottage on Thursday night in the West London derby.
The London team has now only triumphed once in their last eight games, and the season is looking quite bleak for the Blues and their new owners.
Chelsea’s supporters have been singing the names of Roman Abramovich and Thomas Tuchel in recent weeks as a result of the Blues’ current Premier League standing and elimination from both domestic cup tournaments.

I don't know if it is Todd Boehly who handpicked Graham Potter to head Chelsea after sacking Tuchel. This guy didn't succeed at Brighton so I don't know which miracle that he was supposed to do at Chelsea. Appointment of Harry Potter was a catalyst to Chelsea's problems l. #FC pic.twitter.com/J645UIaFN2

Current situation of Graham Potter
According to Fabrizio Romano, the American owners would continue to support Potter despite the London club’s recent performance. They chose him to succeed Tuchel at the beginning of the season.
In his daily post for CaughtOffside, the Daily Briefing, Romano writes that Potter’s position is currently secure and highlights the Blues’ interest in Mauricio Pochettino after firing Tuchel.
While Potter’s long list of injuries and suspensions will probably buy him some time, the Chelsea manager has to start seeing results before Crystal Palace visits Stamford Bridge this weekend.
In the past 30 years, no Chelsea manager has had a worse Premier League start than Graham Potter
The former Brighton manager has had a challenging start to life as the Stamford Bridge managerial chair. 47 year old Potter, took over a team that was in flux from his predecessor Thomas Tuchel, who had also had a horrible season, to begin with.
Chelsea, though, is rapidly slipping out of the top six after failing to experience a new manager bounce.
Todd Boehly, the new owner, gave Potter a five-year deal in September after choosing the Englishman as his choice. Potter, has managed four wins, three draws and five defeats at Chelsea in the Premier League, the worst start by any manager for Chelsea in 30 years with his win percentage at a sorry 44%.
Graham oversaw victories over Crystal Palace, Wolves, and Aston Villa in his first three Premier League matches in charge. Since then, things have gotten more difficult as the Blues have a terrible league winning streak of only one game in eight.
Due to their terrible performance, they have lost to Brighton, Newcastle, Arsenal, and most recently to Manchester City and Fulham.
