Owners must be upset he didn’t want Ronaldo!
Thomas Tuchel | Gone to & from Bayern (In Summer)
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Indeed. Crazy owner who thinks he knows about "soccer" coming in and wanting to be included in technical decision making. Recipe for success.
Seems like a crazy decision; he's clearly a top manager. While Potter is doing well with Brighton, it's pretty obvious that Tuchel is the better manager.
Although this was a crazy decision; it shows how terrible we are at letting managers go when it's obvious they're at the point of no return, and we let it fester for months on end. We literally rewarded Ole with a new contract for a eh 2nd place finish and a EL Final loss to Villareal.

I see that Boehly is still taking advice from Roman.
Bonkers indeed. Tuchel got a lot of players he wanted, and now, they sack him 6 games in. He should have been sacked if it continued like this for a while, but it's clearly too early for the sack.
Well, hope whoever succeeds him does a worse job. One less contender for that top 4 spot.
Ole is available????
Hope they leave Potter alone. I heard Rafa is available.
Suspect he and the club had summer long disagreements on recruitment, the relationship never recovered and poor performances made a parting of ways inevitable
Or they’re being ridiculous, and it’s a disastrous decision
Almost reads like they sacked him for knowing more about football than the owner & his pals, & he was exasperated at their silly questions.
I feel for the poor banner makers, how do they keep up?! That big Deutcher Maestro banner now in storage with the rest.
Communication and culture issues. When you have new leadership and those 2 don't align with management, no matter how good you are at your job, it's usually inevitable that the result is either a resignation or a firing. A football club is no different in terms of organizational management.
Pochettino it is then. If it is about Ronaldo , we will know in January
Wow, that is incredible. If there was precedence you'd know Boehly would give himself the gig.
Interesting that Chelsea seem to have gone a bit shite on the management side since Roman sold.
So why’s it gone so wrong for him considering the control he had over transfers and the team?
Feel sorry for Brighton
Feels good to be away from the drama and observe whilst we have a manager we actually trust.
Apparently they’ve approached Brighton to ask permission to open talks, as well as Poch or Zidane - given how difficult we made it for Newcastle to get Ashworth, hopefully we’ll do the same and the others may turn out to be an easier and cheaper option.
Potter still has a long contract with us.
I don't think it's a kneejerk reaction. Seems to me they couldn't wait to get rid of him and used the first slight opportunity.
Maybe he's really an arse to work with and the players are fed up or something.
Let's hope Potter fails to step up.

alright who wants to break it to Todd that Ted Lasso is not a real person?
Doubt Potter will come but you never know.
Tuchel has a lot of personal problems with the divorce I think. That probably contributed a lot to poor results and sacking.

Mental! 
What now for Chelsea? Poch? Potter?

I dont see which manager would stand for ideas being "bounced off" , maybe Ole?
Wow. Figured he'd be on the hot seat after recent results. More like an ejection seat as it didn't even get a chance to get warm. Wonder if some players have a shiv?
Bizarre transfer window. Gotta wonder which ones were his vs Boehly's.
Too bad. Was looking forward to more contretemps between him & Conte & possibly Marsch.

From the sound of things he has a £16m release clause and if Chelsea are willing to pay it then it's easy for them to do. A lot of money for a manager but seems like he's first choice so will be down to Potter.
Not surprised, actually think I called it in one of the prediction threads
He's clearly a very good coach but also clearly a gobby bastard so once results fluctuate even a little they'll be people at the club out to get him
He very much wants to be top dog wherever he is but most top clubs now are nothing more than the playthings of billionaires who won't take attitude from the likes of him.

Wow. I could not have been more wrong. Can't actually believe they've done it!
Agreed. Theres isnt a bigger shitshow than those scum.
Just an all around disgusting excuse for a club. Should probably wipe off their achievements under romans dirty russian money.
Hope they crash and burn some more.
If I were a Chelsea fan, I swear I would want someone to do a Rangnick-like job as an interim to make the required squad assessment and swing the axe. But, of course, Chelsea gonna Chelsea as always with those players.
That actually sounds very frightening if I were a Chelsea fan. Non-football people with a distinct vision for a football club ... sounds vaguely familiar.

I think the new owners were always waiting for an opportunity to appoint someone who was their man, their appointment. Tuchel wasn't that.
I think Potter is the clear and obvious choice if they can pry him away from Brighton.

So you would like somebody with a Rangnick style job that Rangnick didn’t actually do?
As a United fan I would love Chelsea to hire a Rangnick quality manager to be honest.
Doesn't matter with the release clause does it?
Chelsea are too well-run to throw away the season with a Rangnick.
You could tell there was some sort of fallout brewing evening in the summer.
It’s bizarre to think Chelsea could still be top of the league within 2 games. It’s not like a disaster start to the season.
Well my friend what can I say
