'I don't get it': Paul Ince is bewildered why Chelsea decided to sack Graham Potter amidst their Champions League battle and calls for 'more protection' for managers after Brendan Rodgers was fired on the same weekend

Paul Ince has called for managers to be given 'more protection' by the Premier League after Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers both lost their jobs at Chelsea and Leicester respectively over the weekend.

Potter was dismissed after Chelsea suffered a humiliating 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, while Rodgers was sacked following Crystal Palace's comeback win over Leicester.

Ince , who is currently in charge of Championship outfit Reading, questioned Chelsea's decision to terminate Potter's contract ahead of a Champions League quarter-final clash against holders Real Madrid on April 12.
