It's just there's a lot of contradiction with this line of thought.If Tuchel was sacked immediately after Boehly/Clearlake took over without even being given any kind of chance I'm pretty sure the fan reaction would have been way worse. Even now the overall reception wasn't great and I have to say I was personally very much against it but the poor start to the season, both result-wise as well as the performances, at least gave them an easier way out.
You seem to cling on to this '24 hours' stuff with pretty much every post. To everyone else, including the top media sources, it seems obvious this change was something that's been on the cards for Boehly-Clearlake for a good while now and I'd be very surprised if some talks hadn't taken place with Graham Potter much, much earlier already.
Btw the club also interviewed Pochettino and Amorim too. At that time Potter was already the owners' top choice but they still talked to other candidates even if it was just to confirm they still believed they were making the right choice with Potter. Isn't that how it usually goes, you have one top candidate and still consider alternative options in case something seems off?
If Boehly-Clearlake already have a long term plan for a good while now, why do they did not execute this plan at the start of the summer? Fan reaction should not decide this kind of decision. Just trust your plan and deal with the criticism later. Fans would be quiet when your team is winning
Also this kind of stuff happens all the time in American sports, Boehly must be familiar with it. New ownership came in and wanted to bring their own guys.
Firing Tuchel just after the transfer deadline just scream reactionary to me. Most of all this move does not give Potter a room to bring in his players
