| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sky Sports Football podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every now biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full start, dead heat, and absolutely expected defeat is amazing. |
| 0:17.3 | From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport. Whatever the moment, it's never |
| 0:22.7 | ordinary at Bet 365. |
| 0:34.5 | This is your Premier League weekend wrap. I'm Oliver You and there's only one place to start |
| 0:40.3 | and that's at Chelsea as they sacked Graham Potter on Sunday following their two-neill defeat |
| 0:44.9 | to Aston Villa on Saturday, a result which left the Blues 11th in the Premier League table, |
| 0:50.2 | 12 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. Potter was appointed as Thomas Tushall's replacement on September 8th on a five-year deal, |
| 0:59.1 | but has left the club just seven months into that contract after winning only seven of his |
| 1:03.2 | 22 Premier League games in charge. |
| 1:05.9 | Former Brighton defender Bruno Sautel has been appointed as interim head coach with his |

| 1:27.1 | company with Potter. |
| 1:28.5 | I don't think everybody at the club wanted to give him more time. I think Todd Burley was his |
| 1:35.0 | biggest supporter. He was instrumental in appointing Graham Potter. And he's the one who's really |
| 1:41.3 | been backing him and keeping him in his job for such a long time. |
| 1:46.6 | I know there have been lots of other senior people at Chelsea who've wanted to make the change a lot earlier. |
| 1:54.0 | But ultimately, they weren't able to make that decision up until yesterday. |
| 1:59.2 | And if you look at their form under Graham Potter, it just simply has not been good enough |
| 2:04.7 | and results haven't been good enough for a Chelsea manager. |
