Can't see klopp being sacked. But I can see him walking due to lack of backing in the transfer market.
Poll: Premier League Sack Race 2022/23

Exactly, but you are insinuating you'd prefer to watch turgid football and win some cups off the back of it. The only thing I remember of Mourinho's stint at Man U was terrible football, oh but you won some things. As a fan I'd rather be entertained and lose some games than someone like Big Sam, Dyche, at the helm.
Absolutely no chance.

Lose out on the cash cow that’s the champions league and anything can happen
They'd be absolute murder if FSG sacked Klopp.
Klopp will never be sacked. He will leave when he wants.
As to Tuchel. Various people seem to be saying that Chelsea want to get away from their preview penchant for sacking managers every 2 years and want to change the culture around the club. Perhaps if thats true then Potter is a good choice. I would assume he would want assurances that he won't be sacked at the drop of a hat. He doesn't seem like a pump and dump manager.

It’s a sad day, was always going to happen at some point it’s just a shame it’s at this point in the season.
I hope Chelsea back him fully and give him time. Guess it’s a chance to see what the new owners are all about. Feel a bit sorry for Gilmour now!

I hope Cucurella didn't burn his bridges when he left
It would be hilariously hypocritical if Potter did hold a grudge at the time
"Oh hi Marc..."
If you have a coach with a certain way of playing the succession plan should be their assistant being moulded into replicating the coach and taking over, it's like when Dean Smith left Brentford and they had Thomas Frank waiting in the wings and he's pushed them up a level. Not sure who Brighton's assistant is...
(googled it and it's a 59 year old Scot, no idea if he is fit for purpose)

Don't think it matters as apparently Potter is taking his staff with him.
I like Potter and what he's done at Brighton, but sacking Tuchel for a guy who has won nothing, not managed a single game in Europe the CL and has no experience managing huge egos is just a bit nuts.
Somebody mentioned Moyes going to Utd as a comparison. Moyes was better equipped than Potter and failed spectacularly. I hope Potter does better, but I don't see it.

How dare you...
On 13 April 2017, Potter's Östersund team won the Svenska Cupen, beating Norrköping 4–1 in the final.[17] This granted the team a place in the second qualifying round of the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League where they defeated Galatasaray 3–1 on aggregate.[18] In the third round they defeated Fola Esch 3–1 on aggregate[19] and in the play-offs they knocked out PAOK (3–3 on aggregate with more away goals), thus securing a historic entry into the Europa League group stage.[20][15] They finished second in their group, level on points with Athletic Bilbao.[21] Despite beating Arsenal 2–1 at the Emirates Stadium, they were eliminated from the competition after losing 4–2 on aggregate.[22] Östersund finished their domestic league season in fifth place.[18]
He has managed games in Europe, he took Ostersunds in Sweden from the 4th division to their premier League, finished 4th, won the cup and qualified for the Europa League where he took them to Arsenal and won. All with a team worth less than 10 million! What he achieved over there with that team was insane!
He has the credentials. It's all about the poison chalice at Chelsea and if he can handle it!
