He’s be stupid to go there. Wrong fit.
Pochettino | Agrees to be US National Team Coach
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Surprised he left, seemed to have turned things around and had a strong end to the season.
He’s failed everywhere he’s been, he’s nowhere near up to the challenge of managing us.
I find the idea that Potch had the most intense training of the week the day before a match to be unlikely, if only for the fact that I would expect to see more backlash from players. And if nothing else, this is a slap in the face of the players who obviously adored him, and literally gave everything they had on the premise that they could keep them at the club
Like when you sacked del Bosque after he “only” won La Liga.
Wasn't Ratcliffe a big Poch fan?
Funny how it’s happened now De Zerbi is available. Maybe they secretly paid Brighton something. Gonna be a fun summer to see which managers go where
He’s also a big fan of Southgate apparently.
McKenna would be mad to go there.
As much as I'd like to see it go potter, I think they have the players for him and he'd flourish there. Hope not though
Exactly but we’ve been linked with him since fergies retired. We’ve always admired him apparently.
If we stick with ETH for another year and he has a good season with Ipswich then he’ll be destined to join us here.
The next Chelsea manager will be Enzo’s fifth at the club.
Old management did, new management will have other ideas. We're more likely to end up with Potter or Southgate than him now.
No person with a sane football mind is a (big) fan of Southgate
Big salary and massive payoff within a year to set him and his family up for life, not the worst thing.
Wanted him at Nice.
Some of these names I’m seeing being linked with the job make me sick. The sorts of managers that you need to give 3-4 seasons to build and accept that there will be short term pain for long term gain.
Which is absolutely NOT what we require right now.

The post Roman era is great fun so far
They could rehire Lampard!
Blessing your timeline
What a great choice of 3 managers. None of them are good enough for us. Southgate being the last. If we gambled on potter I’d give him a fair chance, we’ve tried experienced and managers that have won a lot of trophy’s. Maybe it’s an underdog that will do well for us
Rules out our new owners then.
Ruthless.
I disagree with this. If they're having any doubts whatsoever about ETH, they'll be considering somebody like Poch heavily because of his PL experience. Like they have Tuchel. They can't afford to gamble on another flavour of the month and miss out on CL football for a second season on the bounce.
Seems silly but no champions league football and your gone much higher standards than some of our fans. Have to admire it, sacking him is worth the risk if the next guy can get them top 4.
Not surprised they want McKenna, he's on the up. Would really suck to root against him.
Kind of the year utd fans have been with EtH too
Not a strategic fit…
Why hire him in the first place then?

Chelsea are a sacking club, so they need an instant manager, not someone like McKenna, Frank. or Kompany who are bound to need a bit of time to have any chance.
I hope managers like this tell them to get stuffed.

Wow, don’t expect him to leave Chelsea.
Hope he’s not in the running for United job if it becomes available.

It seems people are shocked based on the strong ending to the season, but when we take a step back and look at it, he wasn't that great at Chelsea, and a month or so back, people, including myself, thought he'd be sacked.
I mean, this is a Chelsea team who have spent so much money, only to scrape 6th place and pretty much sat in and around the bottom half of the table for two thirds of the season.
He also accidently fell into the right team/system. With the injury of Enzo, he decided to put Gallagher deep next to Caicedo and inverted Cucurella. Had he done that at the start of the season, who know's how they'd have got on.

With that logic why not just hire Moyes? He's won more than Poch and knows the club.
Decisive
