Chelsea's board are standing by manager Graham Potter.
The Blues slumped to another hugely disappointing result against the Premier League's bottom club Southampton on Saturday to leave their top-four hopes in the balance.
But the Telegraph says the club's board position 'has not changed' and Potter still retains their support despite their abysmal run of form.
It is also reported that the board have faith in Potter to win over the fans eventually. The former Brighton boss, appointed in September as Thomas Tuchel's successor, has proved to be a divisive figure amongst the fanbase who questioned the reasoning behind Tuchel's sacking.
The Chelsea players were booed off in front of their home fans after failing to find the net again as their goal worries threaten to derail their season. It means Potter has now won just two of his last 14 games in the league, with the 47-year-old enduring the worst win percentage of any Chelsea manager since Glenn Hoddle in 1995.

Graham Potter at Chelsea in 2025: "The boys gave everything against a strong Leyton Orient team, with such performance, I believe we can make the League One top 3 and play in the Championship next season."

To SOME CHELSEA FANS who thinks Potter needs time...ππππππ Stop this nonsense by comparing Chelsea to Man Utd and Arsenal. Which manager did Man UTD stick with and it's now working for them? Maybe you want a second OLE to lead this club.... Ten Hag just came this season .... and don't compare Chelsea to Arsenal in this situation because Arsenal weren't performing this bad under Arteta. Arsenal were still around the EUROPA league zone during the worst times under Arteta.... and aside this Arsenal weren't spending huge money to bring in quality players for Arteta until this season. This Coach has been given the best YOUNG quality players in Europe and still can't perform.... We are not expecting him to win every match but at least there must be an improvement in results, pattern of play and some kind of Authority over the squad from this Coach. Even 6 wins, 5 loss and 3 draws out of 14 matches will do... and the fans will understand.... Imagine Arteta been backed by his board like how Potter has been backed... do u think he will win 2 in 14 matches....? THIS IS CHELSEA and not ARSENAL... even Ten Hag could have gotten the SACK with this kind of performance at United.... Even the weak teams in the league could have kicked POTTER out with this kind of results and you are here talking about let's give him time.... A Coach who has not control over his squad, with no pattern of play identified. The most annoying thing is... U got the opportunity to at least get a WIN when playing against a team who is at the bottom of the table with no manager and you still got the gut lost the game in Southampton.... hence pressing the red button...
