Graham Potter: Fans Told Me They Want Me And My Kids To Die”. by obembet(f): 7:02am On Feb 25, 2023 |
Graham Potter has revealed he has received emails “that want me to die and want my kids to die” following Chelsea’s dismal run of form. The 47-year-old was booed off the pitch last weekend after a 1-0 defeat to Southampton and go into a crucial London derby match with Tottenham having collected just two wins from 14 matches. However, a defeat against rivals Tottenham on Sunday would once again leave him vulnerable to anger in the stadium and online from his own supporters. Speaking ahead of his side’s Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon, Potter revealed the messages directed at him and his three children. He said: “The world is tough for everybody. We’re going through an energy crisis, a cost of living crisis. People are striking every other week. Things are difficult so nobody wants to hear about the poor old Premier League manager. “Nevertheless if you ask me a question about ‘is it hard? is it tough? is it nice to hear,?’, as much as I’ve had support, I’ve had some not particularly nice emails come through that want me to die and want my kids to die. So that’s obviously not pleasant to receive. “That’s football. That’s how it is. And the challenge for me is ‘Ok, how do I conduct myself?’ That’s what I always turn round to. The higher you go, the more pressure you have on how you are as pre-season. “My message is that you have got to take the situation for what it is, take the criticism, take the position that we are in, which is that it should be better. “Try to have a perspective but at the same time acknowledge the criticism and bad feeling. That’s how it should be.” The Blues are supporting their manager in any way he needs but will leave him to decide whether to involve the authorities or take further action. Potter accepts that a certain amount of abuse is part of the job but it is one that he doesn’t enjoy and has been a challenge for him and his family to overcome. “So there is an element of that and I want to succeed here so it’s nonsense this notion that I don’t care so it’s ‘ok where does that come from?’ Where is your evidence on that?’ “Ask my family. Because people have a perception that you don’t care and my response is what is that based on? How do you know? “And I would ask you to ask my family how life has been for me and for them. It has not been pleasant at all. “I understand that supporters go home and they are really annoyed because their team is not winning. But I assure you my life for the past three or four months has been daily average apart from the fact that I am really grateful for this experience that I can get this but also say what a great challenge this is.” Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1629254566247120897?t=GPSr_HEMLa2Sfk2VwDwwcQ&s=19 1 Like

You shall not die but wait to be sacked after Arsenal beat Chelsea again this season. On a savage day, you know you aren't good enough for Chelsea but you hanged on to the job cos of food you n your kids ll eat. It's understandable. But you don't know your club fans are the most impatient. You for go clubs like Liverpool wey their boss no get life again and their board is now very patient. 48 Likes 7 Shares |

Sacking Tuchel to employ Potter is a mistake. Potter no get the experience. Brighton is even doing well without him goes to show that there's nothing special about him. I wonder why Liverpool never sack Klopp. It's like he's among the founding fathers of Liverpool Though. Week in week out poor results yet the Owners keep quiet. Something has to be done ASAP. 3 Likes

Have some dignity a d leave, Chelsea is not an experiment club. If you have any iota of regards for success you will not be killing my clubs heritage. If not for white privilege why is Mount playing ahead of Chukwuemeka & stop playing Gallagher/RLC ahead of Kovacic. Infact Just resign. 6 Likes 1 Share |
