The Chelsea manager has stated while he has some input into the transfer decisions, he ultimately doesnât have the final say.
The London side has been incredibly active in the transfer market over the past eight months. Since Todd Boehly took the reigns over from Roman Abramovich, the club has spent over ÂŁ500 million on new signings.

An absolutely staggering number when you compare it to surrounding teams. And they are not done spending yet, according to reports they could be back in with a ÂŁ75 million bid for Brighton midfielder, Moises Caicedo.
Despite the ludicrous amount of money that theyâve spent, they are currently tenth in the table and in the midst of one of their worst-ever Premier League seasons.
Speaking to BT Sport ahead of his sideâs clash with Liverpool, Potter revealed that transfer decisions arenât completely up to him.
âWeâre trying to win together, as a club. Whilst I have an input on everything Iâm not the guy that sits in a room and decides everything.â

âI donât think itâs as simple as saying theyâre âmineâ.â he told BT Sport.
âIf youâre the head coach, itâs very hard to also have command over these targets and have a list of players that are âyoursâ. I think my job is to support the club, which is a recruitment team, an ownership group. Whether itâs transfers, whether itâs daily environment, winning matchesâŚitâs a club. Weâre trying to win together as a club.
