Graham Potter and his team were booed heavily at full time after their last game at home, and in the press conference today the Chelsea coach was asked how he intended to turn things around in terms of his relationship with the fans.
He bristled slightly at the suggestion, stating “I’m not here to convince them.”
What he means is not that he doesn’t need to convince fans, but that he’s not here to convince them with his words, it can only be done with performances and with results on the pitch.
He’s quite right in that.
