Todd Boehly, a co-owner of Chelsea, has stated that he will not fire manager Graham Potter if the club finishes outside the top four in the Premier League.
Potter took over for Thomas Tuchel in September, but he has had a difficult time in control of the Blues.
They were defeated 1-0 by Manchester City on Thursday night, dropping the team to tenth position, ten points outside the top four.
Boehly took a long-term view after sacking Tuchel, handing Potter a five-year deal worth £50 million.
The American believes Potter can create a winning team by developing the players at his disposal, coupled with financial investment, and will not sack him even if Chelsea finishes outside the top four.
Boehly’s approach would appear to be different from that of former supremo Roman Abramovich, who employed 14 managers during his two-decade-long ownership.
