This is the sort of thing that gives me hope that patience will prevail.
People can say what they want about JT (and have and will). But he's dead on accurate in this respect.
When a club legend is calling for patience, people should take note.
And I do believe, unlike the prior owner and regime there are smart people that see that.
It would be very un-"Chelsea"-like to be patient, which is why a lot of breath (amongst the Chelsea media and other talking heads) is about he's heading for the sack. If it was Roman, he wouldn't be here today. But I think the new guys understand this a little better, which gives me hope.
They saw enough to dump Tuchel, which buys them some time. They rushed into Potter, but I also think they could/should have been more patient there. But unlike Poch, he didn't have big club experience to fall back on. It also didn't help that the squad they gave him was hot garbage.
My only hope, as they eat these problems (you are dead on right about it) they don't act foolish and let Gallagher go.
