"The truth is we took a step back in terms of our performance in the first half. "That's how it is and I am sure there will be people out there who think that I'm the problem. [Chelsea](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-fc) have won just five Premier League games under his guidance - and three of those came in Potter's first three games. Potter said on Saturday evening after Southampton's win: "After a 1-0 defeat at home, any criticism you get is understandable. They are still backing him. Potter's impressive job at Brighton and Hove Albion saw the Seagulls go from yearly relegation candidates to comfortable top-half material, alerting the club's money-laden owner Todd Boehly to make a move for his services.

Jose Mourinho has been linked with a potential third spell at Chelsea to replace under-pressure Graham Potter.

Now in charge of Serie A outfit AS Roma, it is understood Mourinho is considering his future with the Italian team. "The experiment with Potter has failed miserably, so that's got to change. But the supporters have called for Potter to be sacked just five months into his reign after overseeing a run of two wins from 14 games in the Premier League. "He's a populist, Boehly, he wants to give them something to get excited about. "If Abramovich were there, he'd be out of a job by now.

Mourinho, would have to at least be in the conversation. I just know that the club reached such a level that it doesn't matter who it's with "I think Chelsea fans would react well to that. "He’s the most successful individual the club has ever employed. For once, Keys is right. That is an utterly mind-blowing concept given what has happened since Mourinho was fired by Chelsea in December 2015 following a 2-1 defeat at Leicester.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter is facing tough questions over his immediate future at Stamford Bridge. Having spent over £300m in the January transfer window, ...

We look forward to supporting him, his coaching team and the squad in realising their full potential in the coming months and years.'' He is a proven coach and an innovator in the Premier League who fits our vision for the Club. Our goal is to bring a team together; all of that needs to be a well-oiled machine." ''There are a lot of walls to break down at Chelsea. "[Thomas] Tuchel is obviously extremely talented and someone who had great success at Chelsea. The 47-year-old has often been criticized for his seemingly negative post-match press conferences too in recent weeks.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter has failed miserably and should be immediately sacked by the club's owner, Todd Boehly, according to popular British.

Keys strongly affirmed: “The experiment with Graham Potter has failed miserably so that’s got to change. “Jose Mourinho is a former Chelsea manager who’s enormously popular with the crowd,” Keys told beIN SPORTS. Keys who believed the Englishman has ‘failed miserably’ asked Boehly to sack him immediately and employ ex-Blues boss Mourinho to turn the club around.

Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys, who now works on Bein sports, has called for Todd Boehly to bring back Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho has already made his desire clear to return to Chelsea in an interview with Sky Sports a few months ago. Mourinho would certainly be an intriguing option should the owners decide to part company with Graham Potter however there would again be questions around the fit if Mourinho did come back given the fact that Chelsea’s owners are moving towards building a team of young talents rather than ready made, experienced winners, something which you would expect traditionally Mourinho would rather work with. “Mourinho is a former Chelsea manager, enormously popular with the crowd, and the most successful individual the club have ever appointed,” Keys told

It has been sensationally claimed that Roma boss Jose Mourinho is keen on making a move back to Chelsea.

His tactics are outdated and his style of play is boring to watch. Apparently, Mourinho wanted the prospective buyers to put him in charge of the club after the takeover.

There are a number of high profile managers out of work at the moment, among those former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino who is believed to be keen on ...

You have Mauricio Pochettino lurking in the background. Nathan Jones had a better win percentage at Southampton than Graham Potter has in those 14 games at Chelsea. He said: “Two wins in 14 is simply not acceptable.

A pundit has compared Boehly and Abramovich by explaining what the latter would do with Chelsea boss Graham Potter amid the team's poor form.

Then, next season will be Potter’s time to push Chelsea for a place towards the top of the Premier League. I would not be surprised if the head coach was dismissed this week.” He reckons previous owner Abramovich would have ruthlessly sacked Potter by now and brought in someone else to take them back up to where they belong. And the Blues were also defeated by struggling Southampton over the weekend. “Even with Toddy Boehly’s ownership group now running Chelsea, I cannot see Potter being afforded much more patience. Both of Chelsea’s last two outings have ended in defeat.

Todd Boehly is expected to stick by Graham Potter following Chelsea's unexpected 1-0 defeat to bottom of the table side Southampton but if results do not ...

Mourinho, given all he achieved at Stamford Bridge would be exactly that. Boehly already displayed his ruthless streak back in September when brutally sacking Thomas Tuchel, so what options are on the table if he does decide change is necessary? That said, he does not align with Boehly's long-term vision and welcoming him back to the club really would be a throwback to the days of Roman Abramovich. Following his departure, he made it clear just how much it hurt leaving Chelsea and you would have to say he would surely jump at the chance to return. Zidane does not speak English, however, and there is a sense he would only like to return to the clubs he previously played for. Now he could be a genuine option for Chelsea and if his second tenure with Real Madrid is anything to go by, he knows how to gel a team together quickly.
