Called this when the takeover happened. Woudnt be long before tuchel got the sack as wasnt appointed by new owner.
Not a suprise

Thomas Tuchel | Gone to & from Bayern (In Summer)
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Bit awkward for Fofana when Brenda inevitably gets the job.
This is incredible, but surely they knew or were pretty confident of getting Potter to sash Tuchel.
I actually wonder who Brighton will go for? They are a well run Club, so wonder if they'd considered this.

Not surprised it‘s happened, but surprised how early it is. Clearly different ideas between owner/manager.
Is Potter actually that good? I know he’s got Brighton playing well, but is it more that the club is run well & signs good players/unearths good talent or does he truly run things there & their success is down to him? Guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Lose three games and you get sacked. Modern football is madness. After all that money spent as well 
I'm not convinced this hiring and firing approach will work for them forever either. It's not the way to run a football club, and Boehly is not Abramovich.

Wtf??? Just saw this on my feed. What happened? no rumours or anything, just gone like that. Wow.
Well I expected this to happen at some point this season but not this early. Has been coming for months probably, he wasn't employed by these owners anyways so they didn't care much about him.
Tuchel's a quality manager and will get another job soon (if he doesn't want to rest until summer) that is clear.

Hasn't Potter got a buyout? I don't think there is much the board can do. From the outside looking in with the way this has unfolded, I suspect an Agreement In principal was reached with Potter prior to Tuchel's sacking. Only thing Chelsea had to do then was to sack Tuchel and trigger the buyout.
Chelsea model works. It brought them success after success for years. Doesn't have anything to do with being properly run or not. They know when to move on and bring new blood.
Pochettinho favourite surely.No fecking way
Modern football is mad. Nuts. Crackers.
We have no idea how well chelsea are run these days. There are basically none left from Roman's regime.
Is Jupiter bigger than a duck?
It's not the fact that sacked him but more that they brought in new players, then sack him. Why didn't they sack him before he approved transfer of new players.
Just fecking weird this Chelsea FC

By all accounts the rock set in on the pre season tour to the states. You could sense that there were tensions and a lot of head scratching from the players as early as the Everton game.
You can argue it’s too early and yep that view point has merits but you can also argue that if it was going to happen this was the best time in that no other major club is looking for a manager but also the new owner clearly isn’t going to just let things be run in the same way.
Potter would be an obvious choice in view of the new owners views on the academy etc
Poor old Tommy Toucher, we hardly knew ya
I saw this when I woke up and instant thought was this daft owner has just put in a boat load of money towards players Tuchel wanted then sacks him before mid september.
This sport has truly become a sick joke when you sack a quality manager like this before half september has even gone by.
What did this owner think? That Chelsea gonna challenge for everything this season? This Stamboehly seems as thick as a plank. I'd be fuming had I been a Chelsea fan, luckily I'm not, sickening thought.

His body language during the game was all wrong. I mean he always looks like a cancer victim, but after they went a goal down, he actually looked like he knew his time was up
Be surprised if Potter takes this. You don't really build reputations at Chelsea as they tend to hire big proven names, and you end up sacked in average in 2 seasons.
So he will need to win big trophies quickly or he be sacked.

Yeah, that was kind of my point sorry. Talks consistency but doesn't do it himself.
I was yeah. Easy to talk about sticking with managers long term, not so easy to do when it's your clubs position on the line.
Should have been a new thread for this. Having to search a load of pages for original news is annoying
aged well
was looking for that one
Chelsea have won both of their two CLs using interim managers, or ones come in mid-season after the previous was fired. The board have a clear strategy.
I'm fully expecting Brendan Rodgers to win Chelsea's third CL this season.
This happening would not surprise me one bit. And then the football world will again be clambering to talk about how good a coach Rodgers is, only for him to have them progressively sink to relegation form over the succeeding seasons.
So, first he had to put his back answering the questions about the war in Ukraine for a few months when their previous board went into hiding and after the new board came in he had to explain why a 37-year old striker might not be such a good idea.
Maybe he got fed up and said Boehly to feck himself in retrospect. And yeah, they might be screwed.
Awh, I wanted conte v tuchel round 2.
Sounds like what he really wants is a yes man who is on the same page. Don't see Potter as that man at all.
I wonder if he might end up replacing Tedesco (also sacked today) at RBL.
Utter madness. They gave him well over £250 millions to spend on transfers, inferring they had confidence in him and then 6/7 games in they stack him.
Tuchal has shown himself to be a particularly capable manager.
Madness....

Spot on.
Lets not forget they couldn't get ANY of his first choice targets. Not even second choice really.
It was a shitshow of a window for them.
To be honest Ronaldo is better than Auba who they panic bought anyway
Marco Rose is close to getting appointed
Different owner but the same knee-jerk sacking of the manager
It's similar to Jose when we last played under him vs Liverpool in December 2018, he just sat on the bench and looked done. Tuesday morning he was gone.
They were the most successful team in the last decade using this strategy. Can’t be too bad.
So presumably those transfers that they brought in weren't his then?
Because this sacking would make even less sense if he was the one who sanctioned them.
