It would make a nice change to have something more long term... I am not bothered about instant success as long as we have steady progress season on season, If Potter can get the best out of the side we have now we could still win things during that time.. I suppose it's all going to depend on whether Boehly is really in it for the long haul or not?? If he is then regardless of the results or position from the first couple of seasons he will still back him even if the improvement is steady rather than immediate... If on the other hand Boehly hired Potter just because he wanted a 'yes man' then I am not so sure...
Going by the Ronaldo saga that took place it seemed as though Boehly was keen to try and bring in a big name as a statement signing and Tuchel was not keen on that idea and if he tried the same thing again with whomever ( insert big name here ) in the future then it could be a case of Potter having to concede ground and taking a player he might not want and then trying to make that work within the team which is a recipe for disaster..
Still, we can only guess at the possible outcomes at this point...
