The end of an error for Chelsea: Graham Potter put out of his misery
The Guardian says A few years ago Todd Boehly did a TV interview where he defined his approach to business as “creating value where there are value gaps”, or in other words seeing the picture more clearly, doing it better, being, at every moment, the smartest guy in the room. Although, watching Boehly and his co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali’s activities at Chelsea over the last year, it is tempting to wonder exactly which room we’re talking about here, exactly how un-smart that room would have to be to make this dynamic work.
Certainly that room isn’t, to date, European club football, which is proving, once again, to be razor sharp in identifying the mark at the table, out there slapping down those chips, top hat askew, loose rolls of cash fluttering gaily from his trouser turn-ups. And least of all on the day Chelsea have finally decided to sack Graham Potter, thus taking the total cost of hiring Graham Potter for seven months to at least £50m.
