Agreed. The keeper situation is kind of tough this summer. Sanchez isn’t good enough to be the Chelsea #1 because he’s too mistake prone but he is probably also a bit too solid to want to stay and be parked on our bench as the permanent #2. He would start for a bunch of decently sized clubs. But then on the other hand it’s a big risk to throw a super young keeper like Penders into the fire behind a defense that may have several changes. Unless they’re confident that he’s a Courtois level talent which is what we were told when we signed him. What I can’t see is these directors throwing huge money at a top keeper. They haggled and refused to go to like £20m for Maignan. So in my eyes it’s 100% down to either Sanchez or Penders. Whoever the new manager fancies.

It is Kaveh. As usual he's making stuff up

We will give some fight and then lost as always

🗯🔵Oliver Glasner and Filipe Luis are among the group of head coaches Chelsea are making checks on as they search for a permanent successor to Liam Rosenior. (@Matt_Law_DT)

One off game, big stadium, against a big team, our only chance for silverware..... No chance, just give them a game or at least try please.

See that's the problem, holding onto and continuing to players like Sanchez is part of the downfall, players like him need to sold and a new high quality keeper bought, we have to start buying much better quality.....Out standards have dropped so much as fans it's as if BlueCo have brainwashed us to thinking mediocrity is fine.

I think it’s 100% a given that Sanchez will remain as our #1. He probably showed just enough quality over this season for the club to tell whomever the new manager is that he must stay for 1 more season until Penders is fully ready in their minds. Unless they give the manager full autonomy of player decisions and the new guy is adamant that Sanchez isn’t suitable for their style.

Sky Sports reporting that Chelsea will make their manager appointment mid June. Not really sure how they know that timeline?

🗯🔵Breaking NewsXabi Alonso has emerged as the front-runner for the Chelsea job in a move that indicates the club are willing to cede more power to the manager over recruitment. Alonso is open to the prospect of a move to Stamford Bridge. Alonso has some high-profile backing inside the ownership group. Dave Fallows is the guy he knows at the club. (@MsiDouglas)

Can't cope with another summer of a manager telling us they need time to look at the players and that Rob Sanchez is a great goalie, that we have an excellent squad that should be fighting for all major honours, that they will need time to get their ideas across but that if we're patient the team will stop leaking easy goals and going on endless losing runs. Just give me a straight talking manager that will be clear about what he needs to deliver immediately, give him that, and then hold him accountable if he fails to have us comfortably top 4.

💥🔵Chelsea now have a shortlist of six names, including Xabi Alonso, Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva, Oliver Glasner, Filipe Luis (RC Straẞbourg), Cesc Fabregas. 📋Chelsea are aiming to have a new manager in place by mid-June. (@SkySports)

I speak about leadership and true captains a lot, and it’s something that I feel we truly lack…View the full article

Opta will come out with an edited report saying there was a typo and Livo actually ran 103.9km 😆

f were to somehow fluke the FA Cup I wouldn't put it past these fuckers to put Callum in charge full time

Any update?

Hazard and Drogba have urged Fabregas in the past to be the next Chelsea manager. Hopefully they can be the tipping point. While they might not be fans of the current regime., they do care about fans of the club. Imagine if he brings back one or two of the old boys to join him in his backroom staff. Mood would instantly lift around the place.

The cleverly optioned Athletic poll were Chelsea fans voted for Cesc as favorite next option for manager wouldnt have gone unnoticed by the ownership. We know this group does scour through social media to gather sentiment. Maybe this time they will follow through for once.

Im sure they will mess up and give it time we'll be in this mess yet again...

That's what they've been saying since Potter. Same old shit. They've all got to go, had their chance and blown it (repeatedly). I don't mind giving a guy that has fucked up a second chance, but when they've bottled their 2nd, 3rd and 4th chance you've gone way past the moment where it is beyond question they should be moved on and we are easily there with the sporting directors now.

Marco Silva seems like he'd be the absolute last resort appointment if everyone we would truly want rejects us. The owners would spin it as a big positive thing because he has been fairly successful in the PL already for many years. One of the briefings they have put out there numerous times now is that they know “they can’t mess up again this time” with this next appointment. They’ll really want someone to appease the supporters who are rightly super angry at them. If they go out and appoint Marco Silva there will be a huge negative reaction. And if we were to then have a poor start to next season with him in charge there will be a toxic atmosphere once again just like there is now.

Even if Alonso rejects us and Iraola chooses Palace, I doubt we'd actually hire Marco Silva even though he's the other name on the shortlist. The last resort might be Filipe Luis since the board likes him.

Cesc is definitely interested. A big round of interviews with Matt Law, Rory Jennings in the week the Chelsea job becomes available talking about his work at Como, future. Como President saying they wouldn't stand in his way. All this is adding up to me as Cesc is interested. Of course, he is looking to get a fair amount of control if he's gonna join.

This is exactly what will likely happen and after we will hear how they always wanted Silva first and believe in his tactics and how he is perfect. Rise and repeat with these losers.
