Chelsea fans " Bring in JM (Jose Mourinho) !"
Boehly "Okeydokey"
 
He'll turn it around if given time. Question is if the board are patient enough for that.
 
The ability to sort out egos of millionaire c***s in the dressing room is an absolute necessity to succeed as a manager at a big club. Potter is an excellent manager but he might not have that in him
 
Embarrassing we drew against this lot. Potter had his only good managerial moment of the season too when he made that early change to a midfield three to flip the momentum when we were all over them.
 
Nobody is happy at Chelsea and the guilty man isn’t Potter.

Potter is afraid to say no against the owner because of what happenned to Tuchel

Players know the owner doesn’t trust them because he buys so many new players to replace them. On a super long contract. Guess who is gonna leave this summer?

And the new players does’nt wanted to come to Chelsea in the first place. See again the pictures of joy of Mudrik when he was presented at half time.
He is a multimillionaire slave.

Boehly is a new kind of dictator. He imposses his will and desire and think money can buy trust, happiness and fight. It’s the opposite. No one want to play for HIS Chelsea.
 
Agreed but since Boxing Day you’ve scored 4 premier league goals in 9 games and two of them were against Bournemouth.

Even with No out and out striker, Sterling, Felix, Pulisic, Havertz, Mount etc should be doing better than that.

Tbf I haven’t watched you much, are you creating lots of chances and just fluffing them?
Firstly, I’m gladly not a chelsea fan! Utd fan here. But I’d say I’ve watched nearly every chelsea game and you are right they should certainly be scoring more. But it’s also very hard to for the team to start getting any kind of form when there is literally no one who can play up front and offer a genuine goal threat. Everyone wants to either drop off or be providing the assists.
 
The board have to shoulder a huge part of the blame. To not have bought a single striker after spending £600m and it being the biggest problem area is criminal. They literally had no one decent before the window and ended it with no one added.

People can argue there weren’t any strikers available, but when your spending silly money like they were every striker has a price and is available at a certain price.
They aren’t ‘a striker away’ from Joao Felix not being the only player to score in a calendar month.

Whilst it would have been ideal to have spent some of those funds on a striker we’ve seen countless teams with injuries in attack muster more with less.
 
Jumped gunt first into an absolute sh*tshow. Should have had warning flags all over it from a club sacking their manager right at the start of a season.

Was absolutely ready to step up in his career (in my opinion) but don't think he chose his next job well at all.
 
Being in a rebuild is no excuse. Sack Potter and replace him with Andy Reid.
 
They should not have bought Enzo for sure. And also should not loan Joao. Both are too lightweight and never really fight for the ball.

Nah they don’t really create much. They sort of just possess the ball pointlessly. Which is the most damning thing. It would be different if they were missing sitters constantly while looking really dangerous.

It really just looks so disjointed. Part of that is the idiotic recruitment strategy of just buying a bunch of young players all at once. The other part is absolutely on Potter though.

The board might as well be patient if they really believe Potter can turn it around. At this point, given their points total and where they sit in the table, it is very unlikely anyone can come in and turn it around to the point they can qualify for top 4.
 
Potter has been disappointing no doubt, but spending 600 million and not buying a proper striker is all on Boehly
 
Chelsea's resident fan Postman Pat probably thinks Potter is still doing a great job.

Fancy bring on Aubamayang and the ukranian backstreet boy to save the match.

Have some balls and @ me next time. Stop being a coward.
 
Jesse Marsch to come in and lift up the lads Murica Style !
If Chelsea should try to get Marsch after the Leipzig job already proved to be to big for him, then they would be really lost.
 
Disappointed he wasn't sacked in the tunnel. Ancelotti didn't deserve that but this bloke does.
 
We used to say the same about our players but it just doesn't work that way. Look at how good some of these same player we have look under a proper manager

No, the players were still to blame, also. It doesn't absolve them because they play better the next season.
 
Boehly's ego won't allow him to admit he made a huge mistake. I get when there's no consistency when it's a new manager with a new squad, but this is relegation form. Things might get better at some point but he's proven that he isn't an elite manager.
 
Think the biggest issue is there's nobody out there really top class ready to go?

Who exactly do you take a risk on? Poch? he might not want to with his Tottenham connections.

I'd be surprised if Poch takes on the job after his experience at PSG. Maybe as an interim for a fat payday.
 
I think Boehly needs to swallow his pride, give Tuchel an apology and beg him to come back.
 
They should hang with Potter till end o' season and see how it goes. Top 4 is gone anyway and I don't see Enrique or Tuchel taking the job in the middle of the season with all the headaches that they'll have to deal with it and can't properly resolve in the short-term.
 
I thought Potter was making a huge mistake when he took the Chelsea job. He's shown that he is a good coach (perhaps not quite top drawer) but he took charge of a squad that needed a systematic, measured and focused overhaul (and a good striker instead of too many number 10s). Instead he got an owner who seems to go shopping on a whim and brings back too many duplicate parts to a squad that is now too overloaded to manage….with predictably disastrous consequences. It's not a question of whether Potter deserves to be sacked, but whether Boehly deserves him to stay.
