Graham Potter will remain Chelsea manager, despite another dreadful defeat.
A 1-0 loss to Southampton at home adds another black mark to our record under Potter, but he won’t lose his job over it.
That’s according to the Telegraph’s Matt Law, who we know is directly connected to the new Chelsea ownership, Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly.
Potter is their choice, and they said they are going to back him no matter what, and so far they’re proving true to their word. You have to respect that.
But these are smart men, and they will know as well as any of us what the sunk cost fallacy is.
Many fans will see this as madness, and when Potter is eventually sacked a few games down the line, will point to these last few months as ego ahead of decisive action from the ownership.
On the other hand, if he wins the Premier League, nobody will be complaining.
