Graham Potter, the name that resonated with Chelsea fans as their manager, and more lately as the one who was let go by the club, has spoken out for the first time since his sacking, 17 months ago. In an interview with the Telegraph, Potter has revealed that his experience as Chelsea manager made him a better coach, but also comes with some level of frustration and possibly bitterness. This is an insider’s view of what drives Graham Potter to the beautiful game of football and what inspired him to sign for the top-rung Premier League club and ultimately what may happen next in the football circuit.
Graham Potter – A Football Background
Prior to being Chelsea’s manager, Potter’s coaching role includes working for smaller clubs like Ostersunds FK in Sweden and Swansea City back in England and the third, of course being Brighton before landing at Chelsea FC.
Graham Potter took up his then England managerial debut by overseeing Brighton score 9th place in the top tier, England’s highest domestic competition. His impressive results here garnered him attention to helm Chelsea, who forked out more than 21 million Pounds Sterling, not forgetting Potter lugging both his staff members over with him.
Graham Potter Speaks Up – Breaking the Silence
“International management” to Graham Potter seems very “appealing” that being said and going by the time that international games bring which in turn bestows more “breathing space” an inevitable welcome sign to every aspiring football manager to him is appealing but one that does stand limited in the scope that players become available only on a bunch of limited opportunities.
“I’m actually taking a step back, for sure to take a lot of time but I also do know that the very best way to influence my entire range of players on an up-and-coming day is doing something better for them,” Potter explained, while also making his views clear, that just the “sheer unpredictability,” can be a constant and often that creates a perfect momentum swing in the entire game that even comes bundled with club football.
“This is one I’ve possibly not foreclosed and something that has merits in my side of things,” Potter stated.
Graham Potter Has Personal Reflections Over The Recent Past
Chelsea FC ended notching an eleventh rank (11th in the League Table.) A perfect bad storm, indeed was the reason cited by Chelsea management for prematurely terminating Graham Potter. In a turn of events that attracted unwanted attention, even so both public disapproval and also the critics calling out for long since Potter finally has his voice out.
“Yes, of course – that was a period of time when any of you look back – we wouldn’t enjoy humilation per and, why did I take up such responsibility that also would not make the going great later on – What I do admit,”
“On behalf of the players selected,” “it is easy to speak and they know how to respond but I want their power, they can make very unpredictable situations not working in favour of the entire team which then requires us more than to move at our best even than we could know at that current time.”
Further A Peek Inside Graham Potter’s Mind
Graham Potter noted how he did take “time for a careful analysis from club ranks to which the team is better aligned” It emerged in a “positive compliment while saying – ‘we got that almost spot-on in some major portion of that team management but I knew we could stay stronger against any of the Top-7 Teams in the league like an unrelenting storm’. This led the people calling me to take over Chelsea – not because they thought I was talented, of course.”
“We made these things better aligned, we will again need in a separate way to think ‘where to find next success’, Potter mentions as being quoted from an interview in BBC Sport. However, it has never seen any success just to leave & that needs massive power – like no one, in fact.”
Former Chelsea Manager Seeks New Club
“Well, I have stayed ‘back and ready’ so a gap didn’t unfold,” and, we would have ‘worked our best yet’ over here for something right which still appears over the horizon& we should carefully look if such choice turns a successful hire, the right work should also make an amazing commitment,”
“Yes, that had been in great relief from everyone involved. Chelsea have paid me the full time for some period now, I knew it all went well (the club administration) – at every cost and just get here first to the new thing to accept it.”
A Step Away to Self Recovery
“Yes – we’re happy now; this will give us amazing hope again. This will turn out to be a crucial point from other setbacks during this season that we need to know it before we become the next club manager to win (potentially for me); everything that is available will make many wins that is never to go un-noticed and only great work which will see those difficult times giving quick turnaround,” the former Chelsea manager concluded.
As Graham Potter moves on from Chelsea FC’s messy sacking he looks forward now with new visions both in English and international football administration. Football fans can’t wait to see where Graham Potter goes next and what the future holds for this former Chelsea manager.
