Six matches into the season, Thomas Tuchel has been fired.
Graham Potter is expected to meet Todd Boehly this afternoon.
It is thought that they are ready to meet the exit clause figure. The club is interested in talking to Mauricio and Zinedine, who are both unemployed.

After completing his takeover of the club, Boehly axed Tuchel in a face to face meeting. Boehly is still acting as sporting director despite the fact that he has been replaced by director Marina Granovskaia, chairman Bruce Buck and technical and performance advisor Petra Cech.

The Blues spent a record amount of money to bring in five new players this summer, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It is not a knee-jerk reaction to Tuesday's defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, which co-owners Boehly and Behdad Eghbali both attended, but it is something that has been considered by the club for some time.
The owners were willing to try and make it work with the German but it was not possible. Tuchel had a difficult relationship with some players, which is not uncommon at most clubs.
A new manager will bring more out of the players and the owners think they had a good window. They were concerned for a while and have been looking at other options. They want to make a long-term appointment to move the club forward.
The Blues have 10 points and are sixth in the league, but they have lost toLeeds andSouthampton.
The club would like to thank Thomas and his staff for all they did for the club. Thomas will have a place in the history of the club after his time there.
"As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners think it's the right time to make this transition."

As the club searches for a new head coach, the coaching staff will take charge of the team for training and the preparation of upcoming matches.
Tuchel said he was angry at himself for a huge under performance during the Dinamo Zagreb defeat, which was his 100th and final game in charge. He kept 31 clean sheets in his first 50 matches but only 18 in his second 50.
Jamie Carragher is a pundit.
It was a shock, because I thought the new regime would be different to RomanAbramovich and I said a few days ago if he was still in charge, you would fear for Thomas Tuchel.
It's a huge shock that it might have been a different type of regime. We understand that it hasn't been a great start, but we think that it's time for a top-quality manager to get a chance over the next few weeks or months.
"It's a very ruthless club and I'm not sure Graham Potter is the right fit, maybe they want to do things differently in the future in terms of having a coach in charge rather than a manager or they do things behind the scenes differently." I would find it hard to believe that they would do things differently. Six games into the season, they have fired a manager.
It's a huge step up in his managerial career, and he's still at a top club. If Graham Potter doesn't get results immediately, they will be getting themselves another new manager in a year.

Thomas Tuchel said it was the same story. He looked like a man who didn't know what he was talking about. The decision-makers seemed to agree.
The defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, a side with only two wins from their previous 33 games in the European competition, was an embarrassment. The way in which it was done was more damaging than the result.
There was a repeat of the soft defending after the 2-1 loss toSouthampton. He said that he told them to play harder in the second half. The message was not heard.
It wasn't likely to be forgiven for such defensive under performance. The club invested a lot of money in these guys.
The other end of the pitch was more costly than the other side. His attack was strengthened in the summer. A lack of understanding and ruthlessness had only become more pronounced as a result of Tuesday's game.
It has to come back to the manager and the players. Tuchel did a good job at the club. His legacy will be a positive one, as a result of his success in the European Championship. There were some problems that he couldn't solve. The new owner is the same person as the previous one.

The Blues splashed a record-breaking amount of money in the summer transfer window on a number of new players.
Questions were raised over some of the fees paid on incomings, with the only addition to have proven, sustained experience in the premier league being RaheemSterling. The price of sterling was less than that of prospects.
A convincing performance against Spurs last month earned three points, but the sides played out a 2-2 draw and the German received a touchline ban for his actions.
Jesse Marsch's men were defeated by a trio of teams, the last of which was a shock defeat at the hands of the Saints.
The Blues were third in all key statistics in the league last season, but are currently in the middle of the pack this time around.
The result in Zagreb proved to be the final blow for Tuchel's team, as they produced poor displays in a dire start to Europe's grand stage.

It is a day all of Seagulls will dread, but it is no surprise to them given how Graham Potter's stock has risen and how he has impressed with this team, not just being consistent with the side and producing these results, but also the style of football.
The chief executive of BRIGHTON spoke recently about Potter's contract When Potter signed a new long-term contract, he said the club protected themselves.

He acknowledged a few weeks ago that it is not impossible forBrighton to lose Potter in the context of this contract. It may have been a nod to the release clause that a club like Chelsea would be able to easily meet.
It's an interesting development in that regard. We have been here before with the Spurs interest in Potter, and this is a day that would have made Seagulls cringe.
If there is a release clause that leaves the decision to Potter, that would be a problem.
