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

[Akira]

Feel for Brighton, looking like the club is ripped from inside out. But that's the ruthlessness of football.

Always liked watching Brighton, the football's attractive and there's an air of confidence in themselves when the players play.

As for Potter, this will be a huge test for him, now that there's resources at his disposal. There will be huge egos to manage and major expectations to deliver.

brighton allowing themselves to be without a coach just to please chelsea, comedy

They got paid right?
Including they ripped off Chelsea with Cucurella, I don’t think they mind that much.

It’s by far more a gamble for Chelsea and Potter than for Brighton and whoever succeeds him. Unless it’s Fat Sam.

Poor Potter. On the dole by next year

Seems to be Adam Lallana, temporarily at least.

Think his 4 year salary paid up to get rid will keep the Wolf from the door.

They did take potter from Swansea, which had a huge negative impact on them.

Well, bollocks. Thought Ted Lasso had a real chance.

I honestly thought Potter was brighter than this. Committing career suicide going there

Breaking news: Potter has been sacked

What gamble?

A huge job, huge pay packet and a hugely ambitious coach.

He simply can't lose and signing that contact gives him lifetime financial security.

Good luck to him, great manager/coach in the making.

You are right, either way he will be fine/rich.

I suppose I meant a gamble for him in terms of where he is in his career or where he thinks he is. It'll certainly prove how good of a coach he is, I suspect he will go the way of most that drink from the poisoned chalice and be gone within a year or two, but he'll never have a bother getting another gig and he'll be handsomely rewarded regardless of success or failure with Chelsea. All the best to him until they play us, then he can fuck off.
