Chelsea manager Graham Potter has revealed he has received deaths threats following the club's poor results.
The 47-year-old is under pressure at the moment as the Blues have failed to win their last five matches across all competitions despite the amount of money spent in the January transfer window.
Potter's future has now seemingly come into question despite only taking over from Thomas Tuchel in September, as the side sit 11 points adrift of the top four.

"As much as I've had support I've had some not very nice emails that have come through that want me to die and want my kids to die, so obviously that's not pleasant to receive," Potter told Sky Sports.
"The challenge for me is, 'OK, how do I conduct myself?' That's what I always turn round to. The higher you go, the more pressure you have on how you are as a person.
"I want to succeed here. There is this nonsense that I don't care. Where does that come from? Where's your evidence on that?
"If you go to work and somebody's swearing abuse at you, it's not going to be pleasant. You can answer it two ways. I could say I don't care, but you know I'm lying. Everyone cares what people think, because we're hardwired to be socially connected.
"Ask my family how life has been for me and for them. It's been not pleasant at all. I understand supporters go home and they're annoyed because the team aren't winning but, I assure you, my life for the last three, four months has been fairly average, apart from the fact I'm really grateful for this experience."
