POTTER: One other supervisor who’s famend for connecting with the human facet of his gamers. You’d hope so, too, having studied for a grasp’s diploma in management and emotional administration — even when he did as soon as make his gamers carry out a contemporary dance set to Swan Lake.
The query at Chelsea, although, was whether or not he was sturdy sufficient to take care of the massive gamers and their egos. It’s one factor to handle Pascal Gross, it’s one other to deal with Jude Bellingham. 6/10
