Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

Bang average manager leaves bang average club.

I laughed when they paid that much for Palmer. Shows what I know.

I'm not judging him on trophies, I'm judging him on the way his Spurs side finished third in a two horse title race and his spell at PSG manager, where the best he could offer before our Champs League game was wheeling in Ferguson to give a pre game motivational speech. Didn't work, we totally outplayed them and his team resorted to kicking the shit out of us for the remainder of the game.

Don't really need to add much on his time at Chelsea, but in his defence they're a freak show and he was probably mad to go anywhere near them in the first place.

You can pick isolated moments in any manager’s career. Ferguson sent his United team out to kick fuck out of Arsenal once, Pep chose the Champions League final to leave out both Rodri and Fernandinho for the first time that season, Carlo Ancelotti got hammered 4-0 at our place and responded by shithousing for penalties the year after, Pep gave in to the wishes of his Bayern players for a Champs League semi final and got bummed by Madrid.

He was a good manager at Spurs who very nearly guided perennial losers to Premier League and Champions League trophies.

Paris are a basket case and Chelsea are worse.

This is bonkers. Is Peter Swales in charge? Irrespective of what you think of Poch, to change your manager every year is no way to build a club. Boehly spends a fortune putting the players on long term contracts, finishes up with a double size squad, not bought to fulfil any cohesive plan, and then expects the manager to sort it out double quick. Just last week he said that the plan was working. What plan? In order to stay within PSR he pulls a sleight of hand trick selling a hotel from one co to another. This after the transfer from Abramovich effectively gave them a billion or two in owner funding providing a flying start. This is the man who was going to teach English football how it should be done. What, by destabilising a club? Just nuts. Boehly is a brainless big mouth.

He is US private equity. Doesn't matter if Chelsea end up as a hollowed out basket-case as long as he is up on the deal.

I feel like Tuchel and De Zerbi are gonna end up at United and Chelsea, don’t know which way round but either would make both teams better.

Going to be interesting all this , I wouldn’t be surprised if Southgate Rocks up at the swamp.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Allegedly they are looking at a younger manager, believed to be McKenna!

That's Gold.

 

[freshie]

Chelsea would have sacked Pep after his first season

 

[abu13]

What is it with Chelsea and sacking managers, the managers office should have a revolving door.

God i hope so, not sure even Utd are that fucking stupid though

 

[BlueHammer85]

Was he definitely sacked? Rather than him being tapped up by Man U or Bayern and wanting to leave ?
