As talks to replace Thomas Tuchel continue, Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand agree that Brighton manager Graham Potter “has to take the Chelsea job.”
The Brighton manager is the overwhelming favorite to take over at Chelsea after Chelsea parted ways with Thomas Tuchel yesterday (Wednesday) following an underwhelming start to the season. Brighton, according to Sussex Live, granted Potter permission to speak with the west London club about the role, and it was reported this morning (Thursday) that the 47-year-old has verbally agreed to become the next man in the hot seat at Stamford Bridge.
And former Liverpool and England striker Owen says that, while he admires Brighton and the project they’ve built with Potter in charge, he’s concerned about the club’s future.
“Life is short,” he said on BT Sport. Brighton have quickly become everyone’s second favorite club. I adore Brighton, I adore what they stand for, and I adore the way they play, the stadium, and everything about them. And you have to feel bad for them if they lose their manager with this fantastic project they’ve worked on for so long.
However, if he says no, that says a lot about not just him, but anyone. If you don’t take on a challenge like this, that’s what you work your life for, to have one of the biggest clubs and biggest challenges with all the money.” “You can spin it and say it will be in six months.”
