I don't think he's been badly advised tbh. He's signed a 5 year contract on £10M a year, at a club renowned for its manager turnover.
If they sack him, they'll have to weigh out the contract sum. Potter will look at his time at Chelsea as a bonus payment. £50M for a year's work?

Here's the funny bit though, he gets a £50M bonus for failing!

He'll then pick up another job at a less high profile club, get the time to build his project, and he'll be hot property again.

I'd take him in a heartbeat if Conte doesn't stay.

He’s definitely getting sacked soon. Their players aren’t giving 100% for him. If they were they’d have given us a game today. Instead they were there for the taking from the first minute.

I’ve never seen the south stand as relaxed as it was today in such a big game. We knew we were going to win it was just when we got the first goal and we got it at the best time.

I wasn't at the game, but I got the impression that the atmosphere was pretty good. Can someone who was there give me a view? Better than this season's game against Woolwich, but not quite as good as last season's game against Woolwich?

Until we scored the place was like the emirates 2 sets of nervous fans - after the goal spurs fans were fantastic - no doubt cheered by skipps goal being shown from every conceivable angle at least 50 times 😂😂
Chelsea fans were like their team - timid quiet and might as well not been there !

Fantastic to beat our bogie side.We were really well organised but cannot believe how poor the chavs were. We looked under no threat at all. Special shout out to Skipp and Royal.
Watched the game in a bar and had a disagreement with a Chelsea fan who was getting increasingly upset at my noisy support for Spurs. He tried to get his revenge on me as he was leaving by shouting out in my direction that Chelsea had a game in hand before I quickly reminded him that you can’t get 14 points from 1 win the daft meat head!

We don't actually know what his payout would be if he gets sacked. There could be all sorts of clauses in his contract preventing a full payout.

Maybe, it'll still be a substantial sum regardless.

Having said that, do you think Potter wouldn't have had his own legal and financial team on that? They came for him, it's highly unusual to headhunt an employee, sell them the "we want you to lead a project" line, commit to a 5 year contract, then insert a clause that says "we won't pay you in full if we decide to sack you."

I'm certain the alarm bells would have rung long and loud with his team had that been part of the deal. Potter doesn't strike me as stupid either.

Who knows, I dont think either side are stupid, but 60 million in severance pay sounds insane.

All I know is that I wish I could have a contract like that.
