Any win will do for Blues' fans as board plots a way forward

TODD BOEHLY tapped into the Roman Abramovich playbook by sacking another Chelsea manager, leaving fans asking a familiar question: who’s next?

That will be the big talking point among supporters at Stamford Bridge when the Blues face Liverpool tonight.

The sacking of Graham Potter was well received by supporters, but it has left the plans of Boehly and the Chelsea owners in tatters.

They insisted they were different to Abramovich, but have done something the Russian never did in 19 years at the club: sacked two managers in a season.

That has not been lost on critical pundits, but fans just want to see their team improve on dismal form that has left Chelsea languishing in 11th place in the table.

Potter failed to connect with the supporters. In their eyes, he made too many excuses, lacked the personality of former managers Thomas Tuchel, Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho, and could not impact games through his substitutions.

They also want a coach able to build towards the club’s core value: winning.
