I know sterling can be frustrating but sacking the manager

This is a surprise.

It is, I thought that the Brodge would have been the first one out. Got a feeling that the new owner of Chelsea hasn't got a lot of idea.

Big Sam?

Gigsy til the end of the season?

Knowing Todd Woodward, he will chase G. Potter, let everyone know the deal is imminent. Then two months later announce Steven Gerrard as the new manager on the highest paid contract in the world.

Cucurella & Fofana are simply very good players in positions they lost players.

Sterling is a great player for anyone.

Aubameyang is as proven a goalscorer as you can get.

Casadei & Chukwemeka are very highly rated prospects not bought for Tuchel.

Koulibaly is a good, experienced player in a position they lost 2 players and Silva is 38.


I don't think any of the signings except Aubameyang were "Tuchel signings", I think they were club signings Tuchel liked.

Overpaid for a group of players that have question marks against them. Raz has looked a shadow of the player he once was, Koulibaly is decent but doubts about him and Fofana as a pairing. Cucurella needs time but from what I’ve seen recently is no where near as good as Chilwell and Aubameyang, he’s just a petulant wanker who Pep wouldn’t have anywhere near his squad, troublemaker of the highest order.

I was being sarcy to be honest mate. Lost the dressing room last season with his moaning and double standards.

You do expect new owners to want their own person in charge - but they should have done that as soon as they came in. Pochettino was available, or it was the time to get Potter from Brighton when they also had chance to replace him.

I wonder if they will go full American - Bradley has been mentioned, a name like Donavon (although his management track record is limited) or US coach Berhalter (although you would think that needs to wait until after World Cup)

 

[burning blue soul]

Get the yank in from Leeds and they’ll win everything, including the World Series!

Just a slightest of edits there, my friend :)

Not as a disaster as losing Roman, he was Chelsea, brilliant owner.

Except for all the interviews that he did
