EPL: Graham Potter Given Condition To Remain As Chelsea Boss

Glenn Hoddle has explained the only condition owners of Chelsea would allow Graham Potter to remain in charge of the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Chelsea remained in 10th position in the Premier League after their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Thursday night.

Riyad Mahrez came off the bench to score the only goal of the night for the Etihad outfit and reduce the gap between them and top-placed Arsenal to five.

There are question marks over Potter’s future at Stamford Bridge.

Potter was hired as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel in September 2022 after Boehly sacked the German.

Chelsea spent around £280m on new players ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, and Sutton has suggested Boehly may decide to sack Potter any time soon.

“It’s very very difficult and frustrating for him [Potter]. I think he should be further forward than he is now.

“But when you lose two of your main players within two or three minutes, it’s tough for him.

“But I think he’s nowhere near where he thinks his best team is. He’s nowhere near it.

“I think he’s still scratching his head and saying ‘where’s my best team?’ If they hover around this 10th position in 12 games time, then there’s a problem, and they[Chelsea’s owners] will no longer be happy.

“If they see that there’s an improvement, that at the end of the season they’re in contention for top four then I think a long-term project could come in… they’ll give him time.

“They’ll give him next season. But if they’re still like this…I don’t see where they’re going at the moment. I know it’s been tough.

“They’ve lost key players to injury but when Tuchel lost key players to injuries he found a way around it. You get to do something. Yes the money is there but it’s not all about the money. You have to spend it wisely.”

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has explained why he won’t stay one more year at the club.

The 34-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the current season.

The Brazilian, however, had been urged by the club’s fans to extend his contract by one more year due to his brilliant display for Michael Carrick’s side this term.

Speaking on the development, Casemiro told ESPN Brasil, “There is no chance [for me to stay one more year].

“It is leaving through the front door. It has been four wonderful years, and I am eternally grateful not only to the club but to the fans.

“I think it is over. The cycle has ended here. I am moving on to a new chapter in my career.”

Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, has said Arsenal will go on to win the Premier League title, after Manchester City dropped points against Everton.

City were held to a 3-3 draw at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night.

The result means Pep Guardiola’s men are now five points behind Arsenal, but they have one game in hand.

Rooney believes the Gunners will beat West Ham this weekend and go on to be champions.

He said on BBC Sport: “No, I’m concerned for West Ham. I just think Arsenal are efficient and professional.

“I just think they will win every game. So obviously, with the result tonight, that means they will win the league.”

UCL, EPL: Petr Cech Advises Chelsea On How To Win Trophies

Chelsea legend, Petr Cech, has advised his old club on how to win the UEFA Champions League or the English Premier League.

Chelsea are already out of the Premier League title race this season, and they are at risk of missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification for next season because they are currently not in the ninth position on the Premier League table.

Speaking to The Athletic about Chelsea, Cech said that the Blues need to change their philosophy of signing only young players if they want to win the Premier League or Champions League.

According to the former goalkeeper, the Premier League west London club needs to add experienced players to mentor the young players in the squad.

“You have to look at what you want to achieve. You can have young, talented players, and you can win, but it’s very rare that you manage to do that,” he said.

“If you want to win every season and compete every season, that does not go together.

“You have to change your philosophy. Certain things don’t go together because, in order to win a Champions League or a Premier League… these are really tough competitions, and you have to be consistent.

“You need to have a strong core of the team. And then you can bring young, talented players who will grow faster and then will be held by the experienced players to help navigate them through difficult times when they come.”

Currently, Chelsea have just one player, Tosin Adarabioyo, who is over 28 this season, and the defender has not been playing regularly.
