Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea to Todd Boehly
But the ex-Brighton boss lasted just six months, leaving the Blues languishing 11th in the Premier League and on a dismal run.
Potter’s departure was announced by the club – to much mockery from rival fans online.
And the comparisons between ex-Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Todd Boehly were quickly made.
One said: “Chelsea = Worst Run Club in the World.”
Another added: “Todd Boehly said he will be different to Roman Abramovich..”
One said: “Todd Boehly is just an American Roman Abramovich.”
Liverpool legend Carragher tweeted: “Todd said he would be different to Roman.
“I feel for Graham Potter, but it was inevitable. You don’t change Tuchel for Potter. Ridiculous decision to start with.”
Gary Lineker commented: “Another one bites the dust. Graham Potter the latest to be fired.”
Chelsea sunk to a 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Saturday, their TENTH loss of the season.
And despite the Stamford Bridge board showing faith to Potter and his project in the past, enough proved enough.
Julian Nagelsmann – sacked by Bayern Munich and replaced by Tuchel – is an early frontrunner to take over despite interest from Tottenham.
Meanwhile former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is another alternative alongside Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane.
Potter’s departure was announced by the club in a statement with Bruno Saltor to take charge in an interim role.
Co-owners Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said: “On behalf of everyone at the club, we want to thank Graham sincerely for his contribution to Chelsea.
“We have the highest degree of respect for Graham as a coach and as a person.
“He has always conducted himself with professionalism and integrity and we are all disappointed in this outcome.
“Along with our incredible fans, we will all be getting behind Bruno and the team as we focus on the rest of the season.
“We have 10 Premier League games remaining and a Champions League quarter final ahead.
“We will put every effort and commitment into every one of those games so that we can end the season on a high.”
