Premier League: A test of nerve – Neville reveals why Chelsea’s Graham Potter was not sent off

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has warned Chelsea manager Graham Potter that the patience of the Chelsea owners will not last forever.

Neville believes that Poitter has kept his job up to this point simply because they want to do the right thing, having fired a previous manager to hire him.

Chelsea suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at bottom club Southampton on Saturday, with James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick at Stamford Bridge.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville told the podcast that the former Brighton boss is currently under enormous pressure, which was clearly demonstrated by Chelsea’s mockery of him during Saturday’s defeat.

“Potters are under tremendous pressure. You can see it in the face. The boos at the end of the match felt a little sinister,” said Neville.

“I think they’ll want to do the right thing, Chelsea owners…”, added Neville, suggesting that the recent investment they made in the Potter era and the sacking of Thomas Tuchel are the reasons the former Brighton boss is staying at Stamford Bridge. today.

Chelsea have invested close to £600m in new players in the last two transfer windows.

The former Manchester United player advised the club’s owners not to sack the manager but added: “I think it’s a nerve being tested, because any owner would be when you spend that level of money and lose home games to (the side) at the bottom of the league.”
