Calls are growing louder for Graham Potter to be removed from his position as Chelsea manager following another difficult weekend that saw the Blues suffer a 1-0 home loss to bottom of the table Southampton.
Despite some sections of Chelsea supporters inside Stamford Bridge justifiably venting their frustration following the loss which means they have now won just twice in their last 14 outings, the club's board seemingly remain in full support of Potter and are against removing him from his position.
Under previous owner Roman Abramovich, Potter would undoubtedly be gone by now, but according to The Telegraph there are long-term reasons for keeping him in charge at least until the start of next season.
