WorrallOwl17 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Not surprised one bit. Spends a gazillion pounds on defenders and can't keep clean sheets and has been playing with Sterling/Havertz as a centre forward then has to desperately sign a past it centre forward to make up for having no established number 9. All that money to spend and neglected the most important position for the first 6 weeks of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Writing a bit on the wall imo. They were pretty hit and miss last season, though he could have easily won two trophies (lost both cup finals on penalties). Pretty sure he's not in charge of the recruitment now and they are just signing anyone who becomes available. Tbf, he would have been a goner long before now were the Roman still in charge.

Mid Wicket Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The way they have been playing, writing on the wall for a while. Steadily getting worse, he had to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 They know Pochettino is available so that's why they haven't waited too long before pulling the trigger. Probably another manager that won't mind being sacked ; reports are saying that he has become less engaged with the board and players. He walks away now with his reputation relatively intact - he's a champions league winner there - and he will have trousered a couple of million in compo. He can have a break, then come back for the first high profile vacancy that emerges. I'm not talking Villa or Everton, he's better than that.

sheffield_dave Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Chelsea look like the next big directionless dinosaur in the Premier League. Like a fast track scheme to where Man United are. New ownership seems to be playing fantasy football and not sure there's much of a plan behind it. Strange how it's all unfolded. A couple of years ago they looked like they were cherry picking one of the best young squads in Europe, seem miles away from that now all of a sudden.

I know what you mean, they seem to have a worse team now than last season, despite a huge outlay. Cucceralla - Didn't need him Sterling - an upgrade on Pulisic, Hudson-Odoi, Werner and Ziyech...but two of them are still at the club, and is THAT much of a priority position? Aubamayang - Ridiculous signing of a player past his best, and no way a good signing for a Champions Leauge/Premier League contender Koulibaly - Not as good as Rudiger or Christenson Fofana - Bit of a gamble, his attitude would worry me , is it a bit too much too soon?

WalthamOwl Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Meant to be going for Potter at Brighton. Very good manager, is Chelsea to big a step up though? Also want to speak to Poch and Zidane. Edited September 7, 2022 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The alarm bells should have started ringing when the new owner decided he was going to be the head of recruitment too. Recipe for disaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose one of the points with clubs like Brighton and Brentford is they have their structure in place, but the manager/head coach will have had a lot of say in all of that. These clubs are built for someone like Potter, Frank etc., to really excel and thrive. Will he get that at Chelsea? A much bigger club not only brings a much higher level of expectation, but a whole lot of politics and bullsh*t that he will have not had to deal with previously. If managing a top club came down solely to being a great coach, then Potter would be a shoo in for most top jobs. Unfortunately, it often entails an awful lot more than that.

Not sure I agree. Cucerella is a good buy Sterling, as you said better then what he replaced In the squad Fofana and Kouliably similar capabilities to Rudiger and Christensen Aubamayeng, not what he was, but better than playing Havertz there The young CM from Villa a calculated gamble. Actually think their recruitment has been much better than expected, all things considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSN reporting that Brighton have given Chelsea permission to speak to him. No brainer for him? Huge hike in wages? Huge hike in severance pay if/when he gets acked?

Whether it works out for him or not is another thing. Edited September 7, 2022 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
