Chelsea Thread - 2022/23 | Pochettino confirmed as new manager

[Cellarite]

I'm doing well in my predictions.

Top scorer - Jesus
First club to sack manager - Chelsea
Relegated - Forest, Bmouth, Leeds

Not really.

Haaland is blitzing the top scorer
Bournemouth sacked their manager first.

Potter's a good manager but it's one thing doing well at Brighton, quite another to take the step up to a team like us or Chelsea. He's got a nice group of players at Brighton who aren't that well known and work hard for each other. What works for Brighton might not work for Chelsea.

Doing well at Brighton may get the players a better gig but it's a situation where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The players listen to him and have responded well. Potter and his players are reliant on each other but there's a load of players at Chelsea who probably feel they have made it and have little to learn, particularly from a man who's never won anything.

That's not to say he won't do well but expectations and egos are bigger plus the players at Chelsea simply may not suit the way he wants to play.

He needs to be given a chance eventually. Most top managers get that at some point.

I think he’d make a fantastic replacement for pep.

If I were him I would give the serial manager sackers a wide berth. He is safe at Brighton with the opportunity to enhance his reputation and wait for a more secure appointment

thats the typical american hire and fire mentality from Boehly.

Pulled that one straight out of your arse, didn't you?

And neither Leeds nor Bournemouth are in the relegation zone.

Other than that he's a Nostradamus.

I was hoping Potter would come to manage a club further north.

While I think Potter would be the better choice, I think they'll hire Pochettino.

Nuts unless he's lost the dressing room. I enjoyed his rants.

He’s got far more experience, in getting sacked if nothing else ;-)
