Summary
Full title credit goes to Simon Johnson...
The Athletic's Chelsea expert Simon and Dom Fifield are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to reflect on the sacking of Thomas Tuchel - and the arrival of Graham Potter.
Recorded on Thursday morning - before the appointment was officially confirmed - we take a forensic look at how the Blues reached this point, why the decision was made to part company with Tuchel - and what made Potter the right man in the eyes of the new owners.
Away from the big breaking news - there's the small matter of the start of the WSL season this weekend - with defending champs Chelsea looking to make it four straight titles. The Athletic's women's football writer Charlotte Harpur joins us to look ahead to the new campaign and what it has in store for Emma Hayes' side.
We'll be back on Monday to reflect on Saturday's match with Fulham - look ahead to the visit of RB Salzburg, and discuss the new man at the helm at Stamford Bridge...
