Gutted Chelsea supporters all say the same thing after club announce six-member fan advisory board

A NUMBER of Chelsea supporters were left disappointed by the club’s latest announcement.

Graham Potter’s tenure has turned into a nightmare after embarking on a series of disastrous results.

Fed-up supporters want him to be sacked by the clubRex

The former Brighton manager, who replaced Thomas Tuchel in September, has overseen just two wins in his last 15 Premier League matches.

His only victory of 2023 — in all competitions — has been a fortuitous 1-0 over Crystal Palace in January.

Chelsea are also out of the FA Cup and are facing the prospect of elimination in the Champions League by the hands of Borussia Dortmund after a 1-0 first-leg defeat.

Chelsea’s slide down the table could continue when they face rivals Leeds in a must-win game this weekend.

Potter is still believed to retain the backing of Todd Boehly and other key members of Chelsea’s board but supporters are growing increasingly fed-up.

And they took to Twitter yesterday as the Blues made a new announcement – but it was not the one some wanted.

The club tweeted: “Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the establishment of our new Fan Advisory Board. The FAB is an initiative to help fulfil our promise to be pioneers in fan engagement.”

One reply read: “Not the announcement we were hoping for !”

Another fan wrote: “Almost thought it was THEE announcement.”

A fellow supporter commented: “Announce Potter out.”

Meanwhile another reply said: “Next time when you announce something it should be Potter getting sacked.”

The focus of the FAB “will be on the club’s strategic vision and objectives, as well as medium- and long-term decision making”.

It will meet at least three times a year with board members at the club and will also have additional senior club executives in attendance at meetings.

The FAB will be made up of six supporters.

Chelsea stated that three places are reserved for their Supporter Advisors to the Board and now they are looking to identify a further three fans via an open application process.
