If it isn't mourinho I'm done. Extremely deflated with this football club and the owners right now.

1 step forward, 3 steps back with this club. Gallagher and chalobah are gone too. Just a truly embarrassing state of affairs.

Well no. pressure on who they bring in. Has to be sn utter genius and win EPL in first season as manager. or at least get a points total of 80 plus.

I think it was the right thing to do i think there was issues behind the scenes and if true we don't want to start another season with bad blood or the manager and owners not being on the same page, i think Amorin would be my shout and suited, but i must admit that i think the Americans have done it in a respectful way with the look for a new manager starting today and not do it behind his back. This way hopefully we will get a manager in and have a good pre season get the squad fit all the players back and start the season strong. Happy with the england team not calling james and ben up get them rested. Bring a striker in with a few defenders and away we go.

Amorim has no PL experience. Portuguese league is a far from PL.
The only mentioned name that makes sense iz RDZ. I am pretty sure that will not accept Chelsea job.

I was wondering if the split with Poch was more the club wanting a new manager or Poch wanting to leave
Thanks in advance.

You are not alone I am completely shocked as expect are many of the players. So shoddily handled. Makes CFC look frankly stupid to. most putsiders at least in short to. medium term. What a gamble and yet another new start and bedding in process for yet another manager and team. Not sure I'm strong enough!
So frankly right now I don't give a @#£% who is next in our farcical managerial roundabout game. but will care soon again no doubt.
Anyway thank you Poch and I am v sorry to see you go.

As I understand it. Chelsea and Poch parted ways by mutual consent; whatever the circumstances you can’t have the owners and manager in dispute about the way forward. That said, I am not sorry that Poch had gone: serial loser and bullsh**er.

Ed you might get DeZerbi finally!
No, I'm just kidding. DeZerbi is not stupid to take Chelsea job. We really became laughing stock.
Maybe Super Frank is back? He is young, dumb enough to take the job.
Those didn't took over Chelsea to rebuild the club. They've took the club to destroy it.

So did I enjoy first season Lamps. But I enjoyed first season Poch a lot more. And players seemed to as well. Am enraged by what has happened. Seems like madness. But of course would love to be proved wrong. Yet the sporting or not so sporting directors had better bring in absolute genius who demonstrably and from the off does better than outgoing manager.

JBS but as we know there are no guarantees when it comes to picking a successful manager.
My son thinks we should go and get the stuttgart manager whoever he is. I think it will be RDZ.

Stuttgart coach signed new contract according to Romano not realistic.
The wild bunch haven't yet contacted RDZ. But young coach, who plays possession based, beautiful football does sound like RDZ.
I don't think he'll accept Chelsea job. Too risky those guys at the board are serious idiots.

Good last run and an improvement. But I think the game style throughout most of the season was poor. I think it held certain players back. Possibly his training was causing injuries? I don’t know for sure, im happy either if he stayed for another season or gone.
He doesn’t have a winning mentality to be honest.

Whitey,
I totally agree De Zerbi would be at logger heads with our owners from day one and McKenna, as good as a job he has done, it is a massive step up as GP found out.
That said whoever takes over now will be a massive gamble.

21 May 2024 19:58:39
Please stay clear of Tuchel Jose, for me too early for Mckenna but it could be him de Zerbi is cheap so not surprised he ia the bookies favourite if it was up to me would employ a manager who has been around a bit Simione of Athletico or Flick
If we sacked Poch it is a poorly thought through move.

I am only thinking of managers I wouldn’t want.
Not Jose, Conte, Howe, RDZ, McKenna, TF, VK, Southgate, or ETH.
I’m leaning more towards the SL manager because I just don’t like the other choices.
