Makes sense. I still think Edwards might get it [or has got it] if true.

I don't feel sorry for Tuchel. He's not perfect but still among the best managers in the world. If his boss is a dick and doesn't want to play to his strengths regardless of what he's achieved at Chelsea then he should leave as he deserves better. There will be no shortage of big clubs wanting his signature.
Will Potter be okay with Boehly being so forceful about particular players/ideas like he was with Ronaldo? Potter definitely seems a lot more accommodating than Tuchel who is known for being quite fiery, but that seems in large part because Potter goes to clubs where he has significant autonomy. The idea of having a chairman that is obsessed with football from an early age sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen.
Tuchel will be fine. He'll probably just take a break and chill for a bit and then replace Carlo at Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Is this the most expensive sacking/hiring ever?
I read Tuchel gets £15m and Brighton £16m.
5 year deal for Potter.
They are some astonishing numbers for a coach aren’t they?

Where did you read Tuchel gets £15 mil?
Not saying he won't, I hope he gets a ton.
Does his style of football match Real Madrid's? He's renowned for his conservatism.
Who would you personally want as a new manager? Pochettino or someone else?

iIts actually 13 for Tuchel and 2 for his staff.
He deserves £15 mil to be fair.
It’s crazy the amounts of money we deal with in football. Tuchel could just forget the pressures of management and retire based on that.
£13m for annoying your boss and being fecked off.
I don't think that's generally true of Tuchel. His Dortmund and PSG teams were very attacking. Chelsea have been to an extent too, but he's been way more pragmatic at Chelsea than any of his other teams. He would be great at Real Madrid.
You say rushed, others will look at the same situation and see decisive.
They spent a lot of time courting Edwards, who seems determined to have his break from football, so the hiring process continues. But supposedly we're close to making that hire soon.
Everyone in the media has it at £13m for Tuchel and £2m for his staff.
Boehly was discussing it with Tuchel. Roman would have just bought him and told Tuchel he is on the team. I think it is more of a partnership they are looking at that Tuchel did not want to be a part of. That is how Matt Law was explaining it.
…and seems heavily weighted in spinning things much like Jacobs (in favour of Chelsea/Boehly)
No that will be Klopp at the end of the season.
Chelsea manager payouts since 2003:
- Antonio Conte (2018) - £26.6m
- Jose Mourinho (2007) - £23.1m
- Thomas Tuchel (2022) - £15m
- Luiz Felipe Scolari (2009) - £12.6m
- Andre Villas-Boas (2012) - £12m
- Roberto Di Matteo (2012) - £10.7m
- Jose Mourinho (2015) - £8.3m
- Carlo Ancelotti (2011) - £6m
- Claudio Ranieri (2004) - £6m
- Avram Grant (2008) - £5.2m
- Frank Lampard (2021) - £2m
I looked for your 15m, the only ones using that number are the typical English trash reporting rags. Could you post your source for that number?
There’s too many to post. Literally everyone other than the Chelsea mouthpiece
If it was up to me personally? I would go for Zidane, however I do not believe he would like to work in England. His wife doesnt want to live in England. Therefore I would give it to Pochettino. He has good communication with his players, he is understanding and comes off as caring towards his staff. I personally think his stint at PSG has taught him how to deal with the massive egos of footballers, so thats a new feather to add in his toolkit. He isnt a bad tactician either.
All joking aside this will be interesting to watch unfold.
I think Potter is great however that doesn’t always translate immediately to a much bigger club and weight of expectation. That includes more games, pressure and difficult personalities to manage.
Its also interesting as it represents a change in Chelsea’s policy by going for up and coming/inexperienced as opposed to someone like Zidane or Luis Enrique.

Potter going to Chelsea is absolutely sickening.
Me and my boyfriend have been following him since he was in Östersund. And what he did to that club is nothing short of a miracle.
He was our nr 1 choice for the United gig.
Nice job Chelsea, im extremely jealous, but hey ho.

You could literally say that about anyone who hasn’t managed a big club until they are given the opportunity to do so.
Jury is still out on Zidane, he had great success with one outstanding team, I really can’t see him repeating success of the same magnitude at another club. The other name bandied around is Poch but he can’t handle big egos and did an average job with the best team in France.
I’m happy Potter was given the chance. He has earned a shot at a big club unlike a Lampard, who was just given it (as much as I love him) or an Ole for similar reasons.
It will be even trickier for Potter coming in now too without a pre season, his own players in and amidst what looks like chaos inside the club with Boehly.
Games coming thick and fast.
Managers will have to make the step up at some to prove they can do it at the highest level. No one knows for sure until they do it, but until someone takes the chance on them, they won’t get the opportunity to show it.
When Tuchel was at Mainz, someone could have said, well can he manage the egos in the dressing room and pressure/expectations at Dortmund. Same thing with Klopp when he made the same journey. Conte went from Siena who had just been promoted from Serie B to Juve. Yeah some managers will be given a chance and prove not to be ready for that level, others will thrive. Won’t know until someone is brave enough to give a manager like that a chance.
I’m aware, but it’s not like Chelsea to take a risk like this and it won’t necessarily be a smooth ride. The circumstances he’s coming in to are far from ideal.
Conte was already a Juve legend, and Tuchel was chosen because he employed a similar pressing philosophy to replace Klopp.
This feels more like Liverpool poaching Rodgers from Swansea.
Not the point. Those managers still had those same questions hanging over them about handling the step up in pressure and expectations that @TheReligion and many others are asking.
We gave Mourinho and his crew £20 million

It is scary to think how much Jose has picked up in payoffs over the years
Welcome Moises Caicedo in January.
You need two of him and the rest!
I really like Poch too, will be interesting to see how he does at his next club. It's big challenge for Potter now to prove his worth at Chelsea but think his ability is/can be even bigger than Pochettino's.
Lampard must feel cheated.
