Damning stats show how Chelsea paid over £3million per win and £1m PER GOAL after spending huge fee to get Potter

THE shocking stats behind Graham Potter’s Chelsea exit have shown just how costly his time in charge was.

Potter was appointed by Todd Boehly in September on a five-year contract but was sacked on Sunday after seeing Chelsea slip to 11th in the Premier League with a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

Graham Potter’s record at Chelsea was far from ideal reading

And the staggering financial cost of Potter’s ill-fated rein has now been laid bare.

Potter took charge of 31 matches in all competitions.

Across these games, the 47-year-old had a record of 12 wins, eight draws and 11 defeats.

This came with 33 goals scored and 31 goals against.

Chelsea paid a record fee for a manager when they prised Potter away from Brighton for £21.5million.

This is ironically the same number of league goals the team scored under his tenure: 21.

Potter’s £190,000 per week wages also saw him rack up £6.5m.

The termination of his contract has seen him rake in another £13m, roughly a quarter of his £50m contract.

Crunching the numbers down, we can see Potter’s tenure at Stamford Bridge saw Chelsea pay £3.4m per win and £1.2m per goal in all competitions.

What’s more, Potter is statistically the joint-worst manager in Chelsea’s Premier League history.

Chelsea had little time to adjust to life in the post-Potter era before drawing 0-0 with Liverpool in a game which echoed much of the frustrations with Potter’s time in charge with lacklustre finishing.

Bruno Salter took charge of his first-ever game against the Reds, but the search for a permanent coach is well underway.

Luis Enrique has reportedly flown to London for talks to take over at Chelsea, though the Blues reportedly have a seven-man shortlist of candidates.

Among these is ex-boss Frank Lampard, who SunSport revealed Chelsea are considering handing the reins to until the end of the season.
