This is The Football Daily with Ben Hames.

Hello everyone and welcome to a bonus episode of The Football Daily,

just when you thought that the weekend was over and there wasn't too much more drama to come.

This dramatic season takes another twist as Chelsea Partways with Graham Potter.

On this bonus episode, Chelsea reporter from the Athletic Liam Tumia will be with us

alongside Andrew Tindall from CFC Extra very shortly, but first a massive thank you to Pat

Nevin who got a very, very late message asking if he was up and available to have a chat on a

Sunday night, Pat. Thanks so much for joining us. Yeah, it's, well, I think it's a pleasure.

I was going to say it's a pleasure. I'm not sure if it's a pleasure.

It doesn't matter who the manager is, I hit when they get to our sack, but especially when he's

a decent guy like Graham Potter clearly is and clearly something that Bolly and the group that

are running Chelsea know actually quite late and they would love to stop by. I'm not a doubt,

I tell my birds that they would love to stop by, but when you go into the bottom half of the league

and when the fans are beginning to turn, you've got to have some cojones to stake by your guns and

that one and I think it was just too much. It was a difficult one, but I know understand why

they've pulled the trigger out as it were, but I understand why they waited and waited

and waited as long as they could because they wanted it to work. I'm so glad that you brought up

the fact that he's a good guy, Pat. I know that's obviously not the most trendy thing to talk about

in the Premier League and in what is ultimately a results business, but it does get forgotten

very often, doesn't it? The idea of someone just being a good person who's now out of a job

so soon into what would have been something they had imagined very long-term plans for?
