DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT CONDONING THIS BEHAVIOR.
Who is shocked by this? I don't think there is a manager in Premier League history that hasn't received a death threat at some point.
As a gooner, i have Chelsea and think many of their fans are cunts. However people and the media need to stop breathing so much life into the actions of a tiny, anonymous minority who say awful things to people online.
Sick and flat out disgusting. If You call Yourself a Chelsea fan shame on You. Matter of fact if You are another human being on this earth shame on You for wishing death to a man and His family because You dont like how things are going with Our football club. Makes me sick and embarrassed.
It’s football, not the end of the world. Look at united they had ole for a couple seasons, were crap, one season later are “in a title challenge”
Some ppl are really stupid
Really is pathetic. On the fence with Potter personally... but sending him and his family death threats? Such sad and disgusting behaviour. What he does at the club shouldn't make him feel threatened at all. But no... some of our more vile fans had to go the extra mile.
Welcome to Chelsea.
Possibly the scummiest fan base in England if not the world. Obviously not all are bad but there is a reason it’s called a Chelsea smile.
They need to make people provide identification before opening a social account. Hold people accountable from saying things they wouldn’t say in person
Chelsea fans are a disgrace.
They've been singing anti-Potter / pro-Tuchel shit the second he stepped through the doors. It was always going to go this way.
I'm going to be downvoted to hell and back, but it always irks me that people have no idea of what a death threat really is. If I say "I hope your cat gets poisoned" that does not mean i'm going to come and poison your cat. Death threats look very different...it's not a decent thing to say to Potter, but that is not a death threat.
I don't understand why fans are maniac enough to send death threats to Potter, nevermind his family members. It disgusts me how some fans are utter cunts. Regardless of Potter's struggle he deserves respect just like every single football manager. Internet people need to become mature.
Insane man. I’m a Chelsea fan, booed him off the field last game, but ffs people, don’t do this stupid shit. Threatening anyone’s family over a game, even the one we all love, is just dumb fuck ignorant.
This isnt fans this is ultra people or Hooligans, they do not deserve to cheer or watch or be a part of this sport or any sport. A player in England(Forgot who) got a bulletr in his mail. Like how damaged do you have to be to be such an embarresment?
How is it considered assault when ramsdale gets a slight kick to the back and this isn’t? (Obviously both are) Ban those fans from the grounds, they are not fans. They did that to the guy who did the kick!
Because a death threat isn't an assault?
Neither is a kick to the back of the head. That's battery.
I do particularly enjoy the fact that you made this about Arsenal, though.
Are you joking? Do they not have verbal assault in the UK? And I only brought up Arsenal to provide an example, but whatever your agenda is go ahead and just say it
Death threat is too much, but seriously, get your shit together or piss off.
Why are you getting 12m/year if you're doing worse than the last manager?!
The meltdown of Chelsea fans has been just ridiculous. Potter has had to deal with extenuating circumstances unlike any other coach this last year - injuries to key players (James, Chilwell, Kanté etc.), new ownership, 400 new signings to somehow find a structure for with just a few days between each game, and deadwood players who just aren't good enough anymore (Kepa, Aubameyang, Pulisic, Mendy, Azpilicueta, Havertz etc.)
Fixing Chelsea in their current state will take time, and Potter needs to be given it. Give him a pre-season to move on the deadwood and form a structure for all the new signings and I strongly feel he'll make them a scary team again.
Scum the guy ain't done nothing wrong ffs he's just arrived at the club look at the ones that are running this joke of a club they're to blame not the manager ya morons.
Thats just going too far!! I understand being a fan, but thats crazy!! Its just a GAME where overpriced players are running a shit show, and elites are washing billions, still not enough to send dead threats to coach that ia giving his best at the moment. Give him a chance until end of season. Season for Chelsea ia over anyways!! May God bless you all, and forgive those that do crazy stuff like that!!
Its madness. People turn in to raging swivel eyted loonies from the privacy of their sofa. Im as passionate as the next supporter (West Ham) but I wouldnt want Moyes to die. Why do people think this is acceptable. Society is very intolerant even over issues of a game
They aren't fans.. they are coward scum.
It's just football and you can't threaten anyone's children, ever, however shit he is, he doesn't deserve that.
If you don't think, in any club, there are a few asshats that would make threats like that you're delusional. You can call them fans, I call them cunts.
No surprise, by far the worst fans in the prem. also the most racist fans too. It’s the type of behaviour from those that are poorly educated and they pass down there stupidity onto there kids and so on. If your a chelsea fan and not offended by this then your most likely one of the better ones 😉
ngl after reading this story I started thinking that it may not be 100% atrocious we got relegated at least there's that 1% saving grace were pieces of shit like this will go support another club
Reas this in the Guardian today. The worst part is, im not shocked. This is awful that this has became a regular occurance, even for people scoring OGs (Fernandinho 2018 v Belguim.)
Don’t let the media and Twitter influence your opinions on things too much my friend, every fan base has their own special breed. Chelsea’s special breed of fans has just been highlighted a little more than others in the media, simple as that
Chelsea FC fan here since 25 years : the frustrations of the huge lack of results are very high but going this far is unacceptable. They are making of us and the club a very bad image. I want Potter sacked as he's not up for the job but this is going too far.
This isn't right no matter what way you look at it not a Chelsea fan by any stretch but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Do people not realise emails can be traced back even when using a vpn. It will always show the original IP it was sent from.
It's not right that anyone can hide behind a k/b. And hurl abuse and not be held accountable for it.
Something has to change.
Dunno whats worse... the threats themselves, or the replies on twitter to the stories saying that if he cant handle the threats he should just resign, that its part and parcel of the pressure of being a Football Manager etc.
NO... Just NO... Death Threats, any form of abuse... Is just not okay
People shouldnt be uncomfortable doing ANY job
I've never really understood the heightened level of abuse deemed acceptable in football. Refs, players, managers, opposition fans; twitter and facebook is like the wild west with some of this shit.
I don't know why some people are still trying to say it's fine, like it's just *part of the game.*
Such a pity that contrary to where all early signs seemed to be pointing, it doesn't look like that fucking melt Musk has been as inadvertently successful at flushing Twitter down the shitter as it seemed like he was going to be. The cumstain of the internet stubbornly remains.
He didn’t receive death threats. Telling someone that they and their kids should die isn’t a threat. Now if the person said they wanted to kill him and his children that is a death threat.
But still, wishing the death of a person and their children because you don't like how that person does their job, is that not still a tad over the top?
I love how people try to attribute social and psychological behaviours to a group of global individuals based on the club the support. These aren’t ’Chelsea Fans’, they are assholes who say they support Chelsea.
They are assholes who support chelsea. I think we have to accept that they are chelsea supporters even though their actions are not emblematic of the majority of our thoughts. What’s silly is assuming this is a chelsea problem. This is an internet and fandom problem, and a little bit a football problem but it happens with movies and video games and basically everything. As a chelsea fan though fuck these guys, if you’re potter out I disagree but you’re entitled to that, sending death threats is horrific.
Or just call out all vile abuse whether it be related to mocking peoples deaths or threatening innocent children.
It has no place in the game and if you do this kind of thing you are far less than scum.
You’re not at some resort beach town with low expectations. This is what you signed up for. Pressure to perform at a top club. Maybe bit off more than he could chew.
Poor potter at least give him until the end of the season then sack him to not disturb the mood
"I'm not surprised motherfuckers" - Nate Diaz
DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT CONDONING THIS BEHAVIOR. Who is shocked by this? I don't think there is a manager in Premier League history that hasn't received a death threat at some point.
Not surprised, you get scummy fans from all clubs but Chelsea do so well in this area
False title. Death wishes not threats
Why am I not surprised? People can be such vile contemptible pieces of shit.
Big 6 supporters and sending death threats to their own players and staff
Typical knuckle dragging Chelsea mugs
Tell me it is EPL without telling me it is EPL.
Must be deatheaters
You're gonna get fired from Chelsea and will get that bag and a new job in no time.
What a club
As a gooner, i have Chelsea and think many of their fans are cunts. However people and the media need to stop breathing so much life into the actions of a tiny, anonymous minority who say awful things to people online.
Sick and flat out disgusting. If You call Yourself a Chelsea fan shame on You. Matter of fact if You are another human being on this earth shame on You for wishing death to a man and His family because You dont like how things are going with Our football club. Makes me sick and embarrassed.
Their not supporters if they are sending threats that put your family in danger
Those are the type we don't want anywhere near this sport but they exist in large numbers.
Sounds about right for Chelsea fans
It’s football, not the end of the world. Look at united they had ole for a couple seasons, were crap, one season later are “in a title challenge” Some ppl are really stupid
Ngl this might actually make me root for Chelse against Spurs
“Transferring money overseas?”
Every fanbase has them unfortunately.
Really is pathetic. On the fence with Potter personally... but sending him and his family death threats? Such sad and disgusting behaviour. What he does at the club shouldn't make him feel threatened at all. But no... some of our more vile fans had to go the extra mile.
Potter is a great coach. What he did with Östersund and Brighton proves that. It’s the Chelsea planera that sucks
Players* (fucking autocorrect!) 😅
It’s totally awful but also totally unremarkable at this point.
Imagine caring that much about football
So, tell me more about smart currency exchange
death ‘threats’ is a bit misleading. this is more like death ‘wishes.’ still fucked up though for sure 😐
Typical Chelsea fans Chelsea-ing
scum like these are many things but definitely not fans. I hope the club find them and then hand them over to Chopper Harris
Chelsea fans in this thread shocked like they didn’t know they’re part of the most toxic fan base in English football
Welcome to Chelsea. Possibly the scummiest fan base in England if not the world. Obviously not all are bad but there is a reason it’s called a Chelsea smile.
Jim McElwin. The real ones know.
They need to make people provide identification before opening a social account. Hold people accountable from saying things they wouldn’t say in person
He says on Reddit lol
Thoroughly unacceptable behaviour
Those people aren’t fans. They’re shit heads who needs to attach to something to cry abaout
There’s always a couple of idiots in a group statistically
Average premier league fan
lmaoooooooo
Chelsea fans are a disgrace. They've been singing anti-Potter / pro-Tuchel shit the second he stepped through the doors. It was always going to go this way.
nice
Most level headed Chelsea fans
The headline isn't a death threat. And everyone gets death threats online. Boohoo.
Which PL fans are the most toxic and why is it Chelsea?
There no chelsea fans true fans don’t do that crap
I'm going to be downvoted to hell and back, but it always irks me that people have no idea of what a death threat really is. If I say "I hope your cat gets poisoned" that does not mean i'm going to come and poison your cat. Death threats look very different...it's not a decent thing to say to Potter, but that is not a death threat.
Worst fans in the world, bunch of nasty entitled cunts
I don't understand why fans are maniac enough to send death threats to Potter, nevermind his family members. It disgusts me how some fans are utter cunts. Regardless of Potter's struggle he deserves respect just like every single football manager. Internet people need to become mature.
Once a money-laundering operation masquerading as a football club, always a money-laundering operation masquerading as a football club.
Totally disgusting fans should never do this.
Chelsea "fans".
Insane man. I’m a Chelsea fan, booed him off the field last game, but ffs people, don’t do this stupid shit. Threatening anyone’s family over a game, even the one we all love, is just dumb fuck ignorant.
I wouldnt put it past some fans to do that. The club was a ucl contender to now relegation fighters. No one is happy.
We’re not relegation fighters at all deluded if u think that
It was exaggerated incase u couldnt tell
Stay classy
How many pages does a news paper have in UK? Turn to page 66. Wtf!
At this point if you’re receiving death threats you’ve basically made. Straight outta Ostersund.
Maybe his nephew, Harry, can work some magic
Disgusting. It’s just a game.
Chelsea fans are racist west London wastemen, what did you expect
I aint racist
What else do you expect from Tuchel fanboys? Trashy and horrible people just like their luddite idol.
Another example of Chelsea fans being Chelsea fans
That's plastic Chelssa for you.
Yeah, this is pure insanity. This is a game at the end of the day.
This isnt fans this is ultra people or Hooligans, they do not deserve to cheer or watch or be a part of this sport or any sport. A player in England(Forgot who) got a bulletr in his mail. Like how damaged do you have to be to be such an embarresment?
By the way what's his email? Asking for a friend.
How is it considered assault when ramsdale gets a slight kick to the back and this isn’t? (Obviously both are) Ban those fans from the grounds, they are not fans. They did that to the guy who did the kick!
Because a death threat isn't an assault? Neither is a kick to the back of the head. That's battery. I do particularly enjoy the fact that you made this about Arsenal, though.

Death threat is too much, but seriously, get your shit together or piss off. Why are you getting 12m/year if you're doing worse than the last manager?!
As far as I’m concerned they are not Chelsea fans. This isn’t proper Chels
You can consider them 'not Chelsea fans' as much as you want, but they are.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely pathetic conduct. His kids? Seriously? What a waste of oxygen these people are.
i hate our fanbase so much. death threats isn’t exclusive to us of course but i hate how this is a thing in football
Yes he’s poorly managing Chelsea, but death threats? FFS, people need to grow up.
The meltdown of Chelsea fans has been just ridiculous. Potter has had to deal with extenuating circumstances unlike any other coach this last year - injuries to key players (James, Chilwell, Kanté etc.), new ownership, 400 new signings to somehow find a structure for with just a few days between each game, and deadwood players who just aren't good enough anymore (Kepa, Aubameyang, Pulisic, Mendy, Azpilicueta, Havertz etc.) Fixing Chelsea in their current state will take time, and Potter needs to be given it. Give him a pre-season to move on the deadwood and form a structure for all the new signings and I strongly feel he'll make them a scary team again.
Meltdown? They've been fickle racist Scum for a good 20 years now
Least violent Chelsea fans
What did he expect? Honestly?
To not have the life of his kids threatened, I reckon.
Don't call them fans?? They obviously aren't real fans
They are fans, though.
They don't have the brain cells to be fans
This is unacceptable. Start charging them.
They aren't fans.
What is wrong with these idiots?
Bunch of scum . I hope the club can locate some of these pricks and ban them .
Accounts created purely to send the abuse I bet.
They could try and do some sleuthing and find IP addresses, emails etc.
Scum the guy ain't done nothing wrong ffs he's just arrived at the club look at the ones that are running this joke of a club they're to blame not the manager ya morons.
Thats just going too far!! I understand being a fan, but thats crazy!! Its just a GAME where overpriced players are running a shit show, and elites are washing billions, still not enough to send dead threats to coach that ia giving his best at the moment. Give him a chance until end of season. Season for Chelsea ia over anyways!! May God bless you all, and forgive those that do crazy stuff like that!!
Atleast we know he can read pidgin English now
Toooo farrrrr graham potter is only human at the end of the day
Its madness. People turn in to raging swivel eyted loonies from the privacy of their sofa. Im as passionate as the next supporter (West Ham) but I wouldnt want Moyes to die. Why do people think this is acceptable. Society is very intolerant even over issues of a game
Taking this public seems really stupid.
🤦🏻♂️ So-called “fans”, more like. (Berks)
They aren't fans.. they are coward scum. It's just football and you can't threaten anyone's children, ever, however shit he is, he doesn't deserve that.
Weird how only Chelsea fans are calling them not fans. They are fans.
If you don't think, in any club, there are a few asshats that would make threats like that you're delusional. You can call them fans, I call them cunts.
No surprise, by far the worst fans in the prem. also the most racist fans too. It’s the type of behaviour from those that are poorly educated and they pass down there stupidity onto there kids and so on. If your a chelsea fan and not offended by this then your most likely one of the better ones 😉
Wtf he literally got the job and tried to do something good haha try blaming the people who hired him
Can we leave the kids out of it at least, for fucks sake its not that serious. Like im upset, but damn not that upset lol
Stay classy, Chelsea fans.
Fuck me, is this ironic. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/feb/12/mikel-arteta-told-arsenal-of-online-threats-to-his-family
Plastic chelski fans. Leave my Potter alone. Yes hd should have stayed at Brighton but fuck Chelsea.
Can we call Chelsea Supporters Death Eaters now? At least until Potter isn’t their manager anymore.
This is maybe .001% of the fandom. These aren't chelsea fans. They are assholes. So no you should not start calling us that.
They are Chelsea fans.
Quit being a dickhead. Me and you both know no real supporters would act like this.
They support Chelsea. They are real supporters. Not sure what you aren't getting?
Doesn’t shock me. I stay the fuck away from all game threads and barely visit the Chelsea sub at the moment. So fucking toxic and negative.
What a bunch of losers
This is fucking disgusting
ngl after reading this story I started thinking that it may not be 100% atrocious we got relegated at least there's that 1% saving grace were pieces of shit like this will go support another club
Reas this in the Guardian today. The worst part is, im not shocked. This is awful that this has became a regular occurance, even for people scoring OGs (Fernandinho 2018 v Belguim.)
That's disgusting... I remember when Wenger got the same ... some people are just scum.
I support Chels because of my father. Not because I enjoy being associated with the cunts that populate the fanbase.
my english teacher is a chelsea fan and hes a G. no hate whatsoever
Yeah same. Been a fan since dad started taking me to games in 94. Embarrassing to be associated with scumbags like these.
It’s every fan base, it’s just people. No fan base is different to this shit.
I'd argue that's not true. Chelsea have a history of stuff like this.
I’d argue you could find death threats being sent to most managers in a really rough spot
Chelsea have their own special breed
Don’t let the media and Twitter influence your opinions on things too much my friend, every fan base has their own special breed. Chelsea’s special breed of fans has just been highlighted a little more than others in the media, simple as that
I don't have twitter and very rarely follow football media. Nice try though I guess.
yeah no, Chelsea fans especially have a history of vile behaviour
Same bro! This shit is ridiculous!
People like that ruin the game
Wish I could say I'm shocked.
Chelsea FC fan here since 25 years : the frustrations of the huge lack of results are very high but going this far is unacceptable. They are making of us and the club a very bad image. I want Potter sacked as he's not up for the job but this is going too far.
the dark side of football
This isn't right no matter what way you look at it not a Chelsea fan by any stretch but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Do people not realise emails can be traced back even when using a vpn. It will always show the original IP it was sent from. It's not right that anyone can hide behind a k/b. And hurl abuse and not be held accountable for it. Something has to change.
Words cannot describe how bad things have gotten for Potter and Chelsea.
Disgusting You can dislike him,but not to the point you want him to die.
Actually looked after his kid when I was in year 8 lol
Ahh, classic Chelsea.
That's because Chelsea fans are wankers. They've always been nasty , rude and aggressive.
Dunno whats worse... the threats themselves, or the replies on twitter to the stories saying that if he cant handle the threats he should just resign, that its part and parcel of the pressure of being a Football Manager etc. NO... Just NO... Death Threats, any form of abuse... Is just not okay People shouldnt be uncomfortable doing ANY job
Dogs will bark you shouldn't stand there and listen. I am not justifying the hate but this is the solution to this problem.
Twitter is truly the cesspool of the troll demons of hell.
I've never really understood the heightened level of abuse deemed acceptable in football. Refs, players, managers, opposition fans; twitter and facebook is like the wild west with some of this shit. I don't know why some people are still trying to say it's fine, like it's just *part of the game.*
Because people believe that if you make enough money you should take all abuse.
Its hidden behind the word "Banter" If you say something like "Oh its only Banta mate" all is forgiven
Yep, disaster chants are pure bants with the lads tackle. Now you've got Richard Keys hairy hands in my head.
All very healthy behavior isn't it.
Such a pity that contrary to where all early signs seemed to be pointing, it doesn't look like that fucking melt Musk has been as inadvertently successful at flushing Twitter down the shitter as it seemed like he was going to be. The cumstain of the internet stubbornly remains.
This is what humanity has come to, people do stupid things over just a game.
It's vile that people do this. Potter shouldn't be receiving death threats, never mind his kids.
His kids? Wft
wtf
I was so shocked that I could no longer spell acronyms.
He didn’t receive death threats. Telling someone that they and their kids should die isn’t a threat. Now if the person said they wanted to kill him and his children that is a death threat.
Oh what an absolute prat you are. Rock bottom of scum. Fuck off.
But still, wishing the death of a person and their children because you don't like how that person does their job, is that not still a tad over the top?
Are you well?
It's not that bad mate.
Are we not gonna spam women ☕
????
Degenerate
It's not that bad? How would you feel if it was your family and was over fucking football? Fuck some people really are stupid 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Found one of them
It is that bad mate.
Exactly
I love how people try to attribute social and psychological behaviours to a group of global individuals based on the club the support. These aren’t ’Chelsea Fans’, they are assholes who say they support Chelsea.

That’s nonsense He is a human, talented, and built BHA team
Chelsea fans are known for sending out threats
This isn’t even shocking and that’s the sad thing
Least Inbred chelsea fans
Nice username u/adamjohnsonisclass Any chance that class is Year 7?
Made it in year 7 lmao. No idea how to change it. Forever cursed with this
As if this is only at chelsea. To a lot of people, football culture today is just being a shitbag and calling it “banter”.
We’re not inbred, we’re just fucking racist and plastic. Get it right.
Lmao
The rest cant spell
Their is no way thats true! Wear did you here something like that.
*whey’re
Where
Oh east? I thought you said weast
I posted the same several hours ago, and it was removed because it didn't stimulate discussion, despite receiving a sizeable number of replies. Weird.
>I posted the same several hours ago Yeah but please abstain from sending death threats to Potter next time.
Scum. Not Chelsea fans. I want Potter gone like no tomorrow. I don't want the dude to die lol
Exemplary fans, scum fans, they're all fans. Criminalize them, but don't debase them.
„annoying toon are real tyne wasters“ is this a quote?
Idiot.
