Chelsea Legends react to Thomas Tuchel's sack and Graham Potter's appointment.


 Graham Potter has been officially confirmed as Chelsea's new head coach - and the former Brighton chief has plenty to get stuck into following Thomas Tuchel's shock departure earlier this week.

Blues co-owner Todd Boehly moved swiftly to prise Potter away from the Seagulls in the hours after Tuchel was given his marching orders. And the former Swansea City and Ostersunds FK coach, who has been described as an "innovator" by co-owner Behdad Eghbali, has penned a bumper five-year deal to take charge in west London.

Reactions have trailed following his appointment and Tuchel's sack, with most fans annoyed over the decision. 

One would expect the experienced experts at the club, most importantly, Chelsea Legends to express their thoughts on the latest development at the club they once committed to. 

Strangely, no past Chelsea player has said a word about Tuchel's sack, and the subsequent appointment of Graham Potter as his successor. 

Earlier, we'd seen the likes of Cesc Fabregas showing solidarity for Tuchel's tenure as Coach; Didier Drogba react to Aubameyang's signing; and John Terry reacting to Reece James' new deal. 

But none have come out recently to air their views on Tuchel's sack. 

However, John Terry had dropped what looked like a hint, 16 days before Graham Potter's appointment as Chelsea coach. 

He had written:  

Whether this is an endorsement from the former Chelsea Captain for the new Coach, it remains clearly unknown. 

 Moving on, The Blues have been searching for an elite candidate capable of filling the role that Boehly has filled on an interim basis for months now, the role of a Director; but are seemingly no closer to making an appointment. However, Potter's arrival means the club will step up their efforts to fill the role before the Premier League pauses for the World Cup in November.

And according to a new report, Potter, who thrived under a similar structure at Brighton, will be heavily consulted in the search and will have a big say in who is eventually handed the role.

Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.

 OPINION: Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.  The Blues were back in Premier League action on Saturday, and had sealed a 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Bridge.  The game had seen goals come from the Blues' attacking options, something which had rarely been seen in the Tuchel era.  Not just that, there were noticeable changes and improvement in team set up that were not seen under the former German Boss. All of which will be highlighted below.  Firstly, the handing of debut to Chelsea's signing, Carney Chukwuemeka. Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run. It's harder than it seems to just trust the youth though.  Tuchel struggled to fully implement the pathway desired and was always focused on the here and now, the short term. He felt warmth with experience. Potter already looks to have brough...
