I want to say why but I’ve given up trying to understand Chelsea senior management

Damn. I’d heard it half an hour ago but my local pub is like a nuclear bunker for mobile signals, so I couldn’t break the news
But this has been rumoured on Talk Sport all day long. A surprise, but not really a surprise. This is Chelsea, after all.
That club is a basket case. He's had 11 months, a mess of a squad, but got them working 2nd half of the season. Progress was clear to see. Bizarre.
Is this an opportunity for Utd? Get rid of ETH after the cup final, bring him in?
I’m so torn on Poch it’s unbelievable. Lovely guy, charismatic. But not a proven winner. I’m just not sure that getting rid of ETH and bringing in Poch isn’t a case of leaping from frying pan into fire.

Wonder if Chelsea decided to break news today because they felt the news would be overshadowed by England squad announcement?
If so, must be devastated Rashford or Henderson weren't picked, as that removes a hell of a lot for the media to get worked up about

With Klopp and Hendo gone you will be struggling to complain.

Surely Chelsea will want De Zerbi? They love an ex Brighton man.
The managerial merry-go-round is going to be very complicated this summer.

So perhaps Liverpool and Klopp did the right thing, by coming clean early on an getting the new man sorted and in place before the great merry-go-round fires up...which many must have known about.

Or were they premature, and will a better manager have come available had they waited?

I’ve seen this a number of times in business. A manager often gives 3 months notice, 6 months occasionally. Some of their employees lose focus, feel a bit insecure over the change or even look to move on themselves. It’s bad practice to announce leaving too soon, especially in the middle of a busy trading period - season in this instance. Typically, a business will employ a specific Change Manager to manage the process.
Personally, I think Liverpool made a big error in announcing his departure when they did.

Not really sure what you’d gain from make the announcement so early tbh.
It just made the rest of the season all about him.

It’s a tough one to judge - he made his mind up and told the club and players and it was going to get out into the public domain so it was decided they would own it as opposed to letting the jungle rumours go on
But they announced it in November and then went on a great run until the last 4 weeks of the season , if the announcement had that much affect they why did it all wait 4 months before the loss of form which also came about when a few key players suffered injury
The announcement early gave the club lots of time to sort out everything above , there was no pressure on the players ( they weren’t expected to challenge anyway )
For me the announcement had very little to do with the club loss of form towards the end of the season

As for Chelsea.
Just looked at the betting.
Zerbi is favourite
2nd Mckenna
3rd Amorim
Jose is 12/1
With that list & Liverpool just appointing a manager that no one as actually heard of it shows what’s actually available
