It is very very strange. Especially as it’s reported they’ve been thinking about this for weeks. Which means they spent £70m on Fofana and got Auba and Zakaria in while knowing they weren’t happy with Tuchel. Very weird.
Thomas Tuchel | Gone to & from Bayern (In Summer)
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
I don't think he would, I posted earlier that Potter has always said his teams thrive in a stable environment and that is why he apparently turned down Spurs, but who knows, I hope he doesn't go there.
This is why Chelsea will always be a joke of a club. Short termism runs from top to bottom.
Crazy. Sucks to have an inept owner, doesn't it.
No fecking way. hahahaha
Now he wasn't right about anything this season, way to burst his bubble.
Crazy decision this early in the season, Chelsea being Chelsea. Potter the obvious replacement you would think.
Roman had excellent backroom staff at Chelsea. Jury is still out on wether or not their employees will perform at the same level
Potter’s stock has surged ridiculously from this thread. He’s a good manager for Brighton but there’s a world of difference between doing it for Brighton and doing it for Chelsea. Is Todd willing to make such a huge risk? Us taking ETH is a considerable risk but this is a much bigger risk.
Did you put a bet on
not a bad shout but scotty parker would have done you
Good to see the new owner is just as stark-raving mad as the last.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons he's gone id due to the success and structured backing he got from the old regime.
Whether they turn out to be good owners or not, right now they're new to this and their inexperience has shone through this window/early season. This must have been a cause of frustration for Tuchel, and I'm sure he and his staff will have noted the drop off in how the club was being guided from above.

Aye, either can keep the same system going.
Don't think there is anyone they can bring in who is better. I would have doubled down on keeping Tuchel, I reckon they would have bounce back once the newly assembled defence started to gel.
Potter is an interesting possibility, but he just doesn't have the experience winning and getting a group of massive egos playing well together. He would probably be the best option at the moment though.

As mad is it seems, we were starting to look more than capable of finishing above Chelsea. Unlike our owners, Chelsea’s don’t wait until it’s too late to act to save a season.
Good decision. It didn't look like that he had a solution. Some of his tactical choices were strange.
I don't think the results had anything to do with. I'm thinking Tuchel was unhappy there
Tuchel has always fallen out with the board wherever he has been... suspect he mouthed off and Bohley though fek him
That would make more sense but why not leave before the season starts?
Why would they sack now one of the best managers. Baffling decision.
Really confused. You were all waiting for him to be sacked and now that he is it’s the wrong decision. I liked Tuchel but we have been terrible for a while, i doubt it’s based on this seasons performance alone. It was the right decision, seems like he lost the players.
Brings in players for 250m and Auba just to sack Tuchel a week after haha what a joke, and here i thought our club was ran badly. Tuchel is a top manager and there isn't a single available manager that would be an upgrade, maybe just Zidane but i would be very surprised if he is interested in that job.
Would Zidane be available for that？
Boehely was Chelsea's director deciding on transfers throughout the summer. It's laughable.
When in Rome, do as the Roman does
Oh no! Third best manager in the league according to some poster on Redcafe is gone. In the end, he was nothing but De Matteo version 2.
Well, this gives me hope that we won't be the only clowns in the circus any more. Sacking a manager is one thing, but backing a manager by spending a shit tonne on players he wants only to sack him a week later is ridiculous. At least Abramovich went into every season assuming he would probably sack the manager and would buy players that his directors thought they needed instead, even if that pissed off the coach. Here's hoping Boehly continues in this vein.
@cyberman aka the grim reaper of any hope for any oppo team? I can see what you’re doing here but… he is right more times than not.
Chelsea have been shit for a yearHe's above Klopp right now. Is Klopp not second best manager in the PL?
Surely you're not going to use the Chelsea board as some form of sane footballing body?
Very good decision from our POV. Clueless owner.
Just avoid the 2025 "Hiddink Legacy" starring an out of his depth Jeremy Renner!
Stupid rash decision, he won them the champions league last year . Probably clashes with the new owners as hes a strong character.
How can he have lost the players, you brought half them in over the last couple of months?!
What a weird decision. To spend that much money on his targets and then immediately sack him hahaha good to see they’re still very well run. Our chances of top four just went up significantly.
PL table. Tuchel has a point more than Klopp at the moment.
Indeed. Just ‘cos sacking managers worked in the past doesn’t mean it will continue to work with completely different people in the background.
Everyone frightened about them getting Potter but this is a different level altogether. I don’t see a Potter appointment much different to us hiring David Moyes. No guarantee of success at all.
Surely the manager should then have been sacked before the season started?
Tuchel spent a load of money this summer with no semblance of a plan and they also look clueless on the pitch. As they did at the end of last season.
He just isn’t a particularly high quality manager, and the way he’s been laying into his players endlessly for the last couple of months has almost certainly lost him the dressing room. Absolutely the correct decision to sack him, the mistake was giving him carte blanche over transfers this summer when his situation was already rocky.

Thank feck Ralf didnt do well enough to be given the job full time. If he did Chelsea would 100% go for Ten Hag right now.
