The English press highlighted the death threats this Saturday what have you receivedor Graham Potter, Chelsea manager, and that they have also been addressed to his family. The blue club is not experiencing a great moment and is tenth in the Premier with 31 points, 11 behind the Champions League places that Tottenham closes.
This Friday Potter acknowledged at a press conference the unpleasant comments he is receiving: “Even though I’ve had support, I’ve gotten some not-so-nice emails that want me to die and my kids to die, so it’s obviously not nice. The issue for me is, ‘OK, how do I behave?’ That’s what I always go back to. The higher you go, the more pressure you have on how you are as a person“, said.
“I want to succeed here, but the threats are not pretty. You can answer it in two ways. I could say I don’t care, but you’d know I’m lying. Everyone cares what people think, because we are hardwired to be socially connected. Ask my family what life has been like for me and them. It has not been pleasant. I understand that the fans go home and are upset that the team is not winning.but I assure you that my life for the last three or four months has been quite unpleasant, apart from the fact that I am very grateful for this experience. You just have to put it aside and luckily it’s an isolated incident and could come from anywhere. It’s not nice. You accept criticism, you accept being booed if you lose, you absolutely accept whatever comes your way. But there is a line…“lamented the Chelsea manager.
They send a pig’s head to the former president of Sampdoria
A cardboard box (addressed to the former president of Sampdoria Massimo Ferrero and the lawyer Antonio Romei, a member of the current board of directors) with a pig’s head inside a transparent bag has appeared this Saturday morning at the door of the headquarters from Sampdoria in Genoa.
The message that accompanied the package was threatening: “Massimo Ferrero and Antonio Romei, the next heads will be yours“. The police are already investigating who may be behind the shipment, which is not the first of these characteristics that a team in decline receives, with very complicated salvation and with a high risk of defaulting.
A few weeks ago, an envelope addressed to the former president containing a bullet was received at the club offices. The investigations have not managed to identify the perpetrators till the date.
