Correct. Throw in a world cup midseason. A ridiculous amount of games prior to the world cup without a preseason after a manager was sacked and the season started. Anyone would have struggled.If that club wasn’t Chelsea in the state it was in, you’d be right. But it wasn’t a normal situation of walking into a top club with a balanced 24 man squad and a sane-ish person at the top
He walked into the most chaotic version of Chelsea Football Club that has ever existed. Run by a lunatic Yank who makes the Glazers look like, well, our very own Sheikh.
Nobody could manage a squad that size and with that many new faces all squabbling with each other. Tuchel was already struggling to handle Boehly FC before that influx happened.
If-and-when Potter gets to manage a sane top club, we’ll test your hypothesis. But that hypothesis simply hasn’t been tested yet, because of numerous extra variables working against him.
Nagelsmann wanted to take a bit of a break to recharge didn’t he? I can only assume they are going the interim route because their actual target (Nagelsmann) is only available in the summer? But then again, it is Chelsea so you never know.Imagine being a Chelsea fan thinking you're gonna get Naggelsman or Enrique and you end up with Lampard. They are basically tapping out of the UCL
It’s like every gift you ever got from your nan for Christmas: the discount or knock off version of the thing you actually asked for. Only, in this case, it’s the exact same gift she got you last year.Imagine being a Chelsea fan thinking you're gonna get Naggelsman or Enrique and you end up with Lampard. They are basically tapping out of the UCL
They've already sacked Potter thoughWasn’t he in the stands last night? I’m sure sky will make a big song and dance about it. Like the time they lied and said Mancini was in the stands for hughes last game!
