Some further quotes have come out on Sunday off the back of Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Everton on Saturday evening.
Graham Potter has been speaking more on the current situation and exactly where this club is at right now in terms of how quick things are changing and how far they have already some since the new owners arrived at the club.

It’s a transition that was always going to take some time, but also, at the same time, the rate of how fast the changes have come, suggests that they want it to come as soon as possible.
Potter, as the head coach, naturally takes all the hits when results are not going well, but he has been keen to stress just how crazy and unique this season has been for all involved at the club, in his latest comments picked up by Yahoo yesterday.
“Sometimes you have to see exactly what’s happened,” said Potter after the Everton game. “Since the last two windows you’re probably looking at a 20-plus player turnaround.
“So in terms of stability, togetherness, spirit in the group, that’s been a real positive over this tough period of weeks and months. A unique season, before the World Cup was crazy with the intensity of the games and then the injuries we were picking up.
“The transfer window has added more noise to us. But at the same time we’ve got a young group who are coming together and performing together well. Today’s performance was a positive one, Dortmund (in the Champions League) was a positive one. But still lots to do.”
And on the international break that we are now in, Potter said: “I always say, these breaks, you can’t do anything about them. You just take them for what they are. It’s been an intense few weeks, so we’ll take the break. We’ve had a decent week. Today was a performance that was a positive one for us, but ultimately we’re frustrated to drop points.
“It’s an intense period coming up, April and May will be heavy. It’s important for me as the leader to gain some freshness and to recharge and to use the time.
“I’m probably going to close my eyes for a few hours, or try to. I’ll spend some time with the family and then we’ll see.”
