Yup I know

What a pointless appointment. Money down the drain and we are worse off. At least there's an ounce of hope for some silverware. The owners have to appoint someone Chelsea, through and through or a winner. Nothing else will be acceptable.

😪💥Someone close to John Terry said that he would have loved to work with Chelsea's squad and that the feeling might even be mutual inside the changing room. But it will be McFarlane, and he too is said to be respected by the squad. (@kierangill_DM)

why the fuck do we even have 5 sporting directors

They won’t do that mate.

'' The club remain confident they can attract the right coach, though they are not in active talks with any candidates and do not expect to appoint a full-time replacement until the end of the season. They are looking for someone who can win matches and, ultimately, deliver trophies. will do as they're told and be the next scapegoat''

Agree. Some of the reaction and the memes have been overblown. His former teammates have been giving interviews taking the mickey out of him. I hope he can get over this

Junior Kroupi gives off some baby Thierry Henry vibes just scored his 11th EPL goal of the season and has done it in only 1350 minutes

Need to be logged in or in a certain region mate

All the quotes and stories I’m seeing on social media about Iraola make it sound like he’s one of those maniacal coaches who works his players into the ground in terms of training and prep. Which is something these players could do with but also something where you can see some serious issues since so many of our players are divas which huge egos. He sounds very much like other super micromanager type Spanish coaches like Pep and Arteta.

We have to be honest - whatever the question is - Blueco is not the answer

We need to beg Iraola, not convince him. But if he comes in he needs free reign, these fuckers need to leave him alone and allow him to manage

Is it just me or is the link not working?

"Sources believe Iraola needs convincing"

1000000 per cent BULLSHIT pure gaslighting pure club destroying bollocks the utter arrogance is off the charts fuck these yank billionaire twats fuck them to hell along with their shitstabbing board of directors

Emery, Simeone. Shit, even Klopp. There’s likely a 1% chance these guys say yes but you should at least offer them a massive bag of cash and decision making power. Kompany is in the ultimate dream spot for a manager currently where he can sleepwalk to league titles and make deep UCL runs most seasons. Exactly like Enrique. I think the only job he’d leave Bayern for is to succeed Pep at City.

The chances of getting someone who would instantly command respect are slim.maybe Cesc due to his playing career. Iraola would with some but would need more control than just being trainer tactician to get the whole squad on side. Before the seasons over we need to trim the fat at Sporting director and go back to one or two at most and that they just support the manager in finding talent not so much control.would personally wipe the slate clean there. If it's done before the end of season.maybe more proven managers could be persuaded to increase the available pool to us. Iraola hasn't won anything but when a tier 2 stable of base talent playing in a 3rd tier stadium are established Premier league side challenging who they are in the Prem in April that's pretty impressive. I read one of the things the senior players were pissed with Rosenior over was his treatment of JA. Iraola would be great for Josh.

from 18:48 onwards https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002twmh and on 5 Live from 10:30pm tonight

I'm on 5 Live around 10:30pm talking about the mess

Especially Emery and Kompany imo among the ones already in a gig

The match will define our season - and even the players thinking of going will want to put a good performance in the shop window At least the pitch will be better than in 1970 - they had Horse of the year show the night before -pitch was like the Somme !

Here in American sports when some massive job opens up there’s a common sentiment that you should call around to coaches of other massive teams and “force them to tell you no.” Even if it’s a completely pie in the sky, totally unrealistic, never in a million years sort of target you should still make the call and try. I feel like we should do this with a couple of big name managers. Even if they laugh and don’t even take our call.

With Callum in charge? I doubt it he has been working under Liam and the same shit they were doing he will still implement, I still think it will be absolutely dross we see

💥🔵 Breaking News There is still backing for the club’s five Sporting Directors, Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart, Sam Jewell, Joe Shields and Dave Fallows. (@TheGuardian)

I dont feel we'll get anyone who can do that with this board. Or until we can get better pulling power
