Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

Ooh he’s coming in very flirtatious. Stop it Poch.

Exactly that. He's looking to galvanise the troops and remind the club where we aspire to be from the get-go.

For now it’s just words but he’s coming in way more confident than Potter did for example. Potter seemed like he was in awe of the club. Poch gives off an aura of someone who’s ready to win. It’s just words though, for now. It’s easy for him to say this at the beginning. I believe in him though.

I think that the whole reason we opted for Poch is that he's not just hot air. He's up for the fight, has proved that on many occasions, and he expects his team to be the same.

What metric is he using?

 

[LongsightM13]

I think he's using the metric of Chelsea having won on multiple occasions every available trophy in England and Europe in that time, aside from the Super Cup and Club World Cup which we've only won once.

I think every football fan acknowledges that in the here and now City are clearly the greatest team in England, and have been for the last few years, but prior to that it was Chelsea.

It’s the use of the present rather than the past tense that makes the statement utterly ridiculous
Rally the troops and get the fans onside, and all that, but he’s getting close to Big Sam levels of delusion with that nonsense

 

[M Gaudino]

to be fair they've won the european cup twice, one more than us obviously, which is a massive prize. plus europa league twice and if we go back 15 years its…. 3 titles roughly and 4 fa cups.

so, you’d say its city overall but its there to be debated so i dont mind him bending the judgement in his favour.

crack on mate. it’ll be curious to see what the hell kinda team they have because i cant keep track of their transfer activity.

Nothing ridiculous about anything he said.

There’s your last 15 seasons
To even pretend that record makes you ‘the best team in the country’ is utterly ridiculous

He wasn’t being literal. There’s a perfectly fair argument to be made that Chelsea have been the most successful team of the last 15-20 years. Making that claim to an in-house club TV channel in his first interview is perfectly fine.

We sang that we were the best team in the land and all the world when we were - to put it mildly - a notch or two below that. Let him cheer-lead. Last season Chelsea weren’t even the best team in their postcode district, so I reckon he’s got work to do.
