Chelsea's patience with Graham Potter is not at its limit at present.

The Blues are going through one of the worst runs of form in their recent history.

Per The Mirror, co-owner Todd Boehly still believes that Potter can be a success at the club.

Another factor to consider is that sacking the head coach would result in a 50 million pay off.

Potter signed a long-term deal when he signed from Brighton in the fall, while Chelsea also paid the Albion a sizable sum to get him out of his contract.

The Blues lost to Tottenham 2-0 at the weekend, and next take on Leeds United at home on Saturday.

Chelsea became used to making significant payouts to sacked head coaches during Roman Abramovich's tenure - topped by the 26.6m to Antonio Conte and his staff in 2018. But Potter's compensation would be almost double that should he end up having his contract terminated.
