Recalling what Graeme Souness said after Todd Boehly replaced Tuchel with Brighton contingent

 

Speaking after Thomas Tuchel’s sacking and Chelsea’s decision to hire Graham Potter and his Brighton management staff, former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness said back in Septmber: “I liked Thomas Tuchel. When a new owner comes in, you are vulnerable as a manager. He will have his own ideas. With the new group that came in, not having any history in football.

“Petr Cech goes, Bruce Buck goes, and Marina Granovskaia goes, I think that was not a good sign for the Chelsea supporters. They spent a lot of money willy nilly. They got rid of the wrong man. I would have kept him.

“I don't believe the stories coming out of Chelsea. I think the PR at Chelsea have done a number on Tuchel to paint the new owners in a good light. The pressure is on from day one. I think they will rue that decision.”

Chelsea have struggled to impress under Graham Potter, despite having a brilliant January transfer window. They’ve only won two out of their last 14 games and are stuck in 10th place in the Premier League.
