Chelsea manager: ‘Some want my children to die’
Graham Potter, 47, has had a difficult time as Chelsea manager.
The criticism went so far that Potter and his children received death threats.
“I’ve gotten some emails saying they want me and my kids dead,” says Potter.
Tenth in the league, two wins in the last 14 games and only one goal at home since the start of the year.
Graham Potter and Chelsea are going through a tough time and the criticism has been huge. But she also crossed the line. Now Ostersund’s former coach says he has received death threats.
So are Potte’s three sons.
– I’ve gotten some unkind emails saying they want me and my kids dead. It’s clearly not a good idea to have it, Potter says at a news conference, according to The Telegraph.
“Family life suffers”
The situation, of course, affected the family.
– It’s not easy at all. Family life suffers, and your mental health and personality are affected. It’s hard, he says.
The Telegraph writes that Chelsea is giving Potter and the family all the support they need. Whether or not to report the threats to the police is up to Potter.
“work for many”
Potter spoke about the incident ahead of Sunday’s key derby at home to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. He also talks about accepting criticism based on results and that supporters have a right to be angry, but he continues to work hard.
Life is hard for many people. You ask if it’s hard and it is. you are suffering. you get angry Potter says you show your feelings with family.
