Summary
It's never, ever, EVER dull is it?
The Athletic's Chelsea experts Simon Johnson and Dom Fifield are alongside Matt Davies-Adams for a BUMPER Straight Outta Cobham following the sacking of Graham Potter.
We kick things off with Liam Twomey's voice note following the 2-0 defeat by Aston Villa which proved to be the final straw in the hugely disappointing seven month reign of Potter. We then get into the nuts and bolts of the decision to finally pull the plug... How did we get here? What happens next? And how worried should we be for the future?
There's a round up of the goalless draw with fellow strugglers Liverpool - a match which summed up the seasons of both clubs - plus a quick look ahead to Saturday's visit to Wolves.
Producer Lucy's got a word on the wonder that is CFCW - and we tease ahead to some of the work you can look forward to from The Athletic over the next few days.
We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the game at Molineux, look ahead to the trip to the Bernabéu *eek* for the Champions League quarter-final first leg with Real Madrid, and potentially discuss a new manager at the helm...
Produced by Lucy Oliva.
