Graham Potter Chelsea theory emerges as four-word hint dropped

Chelsea fans are convinced that Graham Potter will remain in charge of the club for the foreseeable future following a social media plea. The Blues fell to yet another defeat on Sunday as London rivals Tottenham ran out 2-0 winners in north London.

Goals from Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane mean it is now just one win in 11 games for the Blues, leaving them with a mammoth task of achieving a top four finish. Potter's men are now 14 points behind Spurs - with Chelsea closer to the relegation zone.

The ongoing issues at Stamford Bridge are under further scrutiny. Any team cohesion has seemed to dwindle and the goals have dried up, with only four scored in the past 11 games.

Speaking after the game, Potter said: "I understand the question and where it comes from, but I have to try to focus on keeping on helping the team and supporting the players. I really like these players, they’re good lads. They want to do better and want to win. But at the moment we’re suffering and that is my responsibility."

It's understood that no immediate decision has been made over Potter's future, with the ownership at the club continuing to hold out hope of a turnaround of the clubs fortunes. And after the game, the club issued a short statement on their social media that read: "Time to stick together."

The four-word statement has prompted reaction from Chelsea fanbase, with some believing Potter will remain in charge despite the protests for him to be sacked. Here's what some of them have had to say...

@biggie3500 : I'm off

@SteveMorleyDJ : Having a laugh surely

@CFCDaily: An identity would help.

@McBurner_49: Potter is staying

@thabane_h: We deserve better!

@S__Sparks: Trust the process

@SneeMean: No way Potter's staying
