The Footie Thread

They have been walking that line for years now though. It's madness, wasteful etc but on the whole it has worked for them. I wouldn't want it but each to their own.

Granted it has been relatively successful in recent years but the fixture calendar is so congested this year, any manager who comes in will need a lot of good luck.

Simeone would be a perfect match.

I was looking forward to listening to some of the Talksport youtube 10 minute clips later on.

I can only imagine Chelsea have firmly agreed who the replacement will be, and that replacement is someone who is expected to be very special. Otherwise, it seems ridiculous. Any team can go through dodgy spells, especially at the beginning of a season when players may be at varying level of fitness, match sharpness and new players are coming in. It is crazy that a manager can be generally considered to be one of the best managers in the game, and then a handful of games later get the sack. Maybe there are non-footballing reasons, or they felt Conte gave him the knockout blow by winning the battle of the handshake.

Would be interested to know how Chelsea fans feel, as they'll be a lot more clued in with the club and what they think of Tuchel

Tuchel caused that and ended up looking stupid.

Did Abramovich leave a little “How to Own Chelsea” guide for Boehley to follow ?

Unless Todd Boehly is literally crapping money, I'm lost for words...

18 months at Chelsea, sacked obviously, and then on to Old Trafford to turn the screws there as well

Permission for Chelsea to talk to Potter it seems, I wonder how much Tony Bloom thinks he can have their pants down for this time..........

According to Sky Sports, the figure is written into Potter's contract.

The biggest irony in this is sending Levi Colwill to Brighton on loan to work under Potter, only to try & drag him away.

And how does Billy Gilmour feel?

 

[Rlburnside]

That sacking has surprised even me, crazy way to run a club, not ideal for the new manager to come in and work with players not of his choosing.

You’ll probably get Billy Gilmour back on loan ??

 

[Tashyboy]

Potter would be a very good appointment. ?

Probably, but probably far from ideal for any new manager.

If they were coming into a really prolonged bad side, where the manager had clearly lost the confidence of the players and the fans, then it is so much easier for the new manager. If results are still dodgy, they can just say they need time to build, bla bla.

However, if the new manager experiences a bad run of results, there are going to be a lot more people saying that the last manager should definitely not be sacked, and the new appointment was probably a downgrade

Harry Potter?

 

[Tashyboy]

Harry Potter?

Think Potter could weave his magic ?

Costa has his work permit for Wolves ??

If I was Potter I would not touch Chelsea with a barge pole.
They treat their managers like ***.
He’s better off where he is.
Unless he just wants the money.

Money will be a massive factor as well in his thought process.
Let’s be honest though, he has to take it, an opportunity to challenge on all fronts and a first in the Champions League.
I personally think he would be a good appointment.
