Jacob Steinberg now reporting Maresca is out the door tomorrow

It’s about style of play and extracting the maximum from what you’ve got. When I watch Iraola’s side play I’ve been very impressed. Likewise Marco Silva. They both get given very little in the market and in Iraola’s case his team was completely picked apart this past summer so I feel like it’s harsh to judge him based on this current run of form. Lost their captain, their two starting CB’s, their star LB (at the time) and have had a bunch of injuries. Look, I’m not saying he’s prime Mourinho or something but I’ve liked what I’ve seen. I wouldn’t be losing my head if we went for him like I will if they chose Rosenoir.

Iraola?? For real? What’s he done? The standards are in the mud!

Under Iraola, Bournemouth have finished 12th 9th and are now 15th. How are people seeing him a fit for a place so results driven as Chelsea?

Iraola or Emery I’d take in a heartbeat. Glasner I’m not sure about. Marco Silva is an excellent coach but has that same sort of “takes no shit” personality that Maresca has and he’d probably clash with the board just like Enzo has eventually. I fucking love Conte and feel a hard man/authoritarian manager like him is exactly what this club needs. I’d take him back in an instant. But this board would never bring someone in who would call their shit out and drag them.

💣BREAKING: Enzo Maresca is considering his position as Chelsea head coach. [@SkyKaveh]

Poch already had problems with the management, and it's not hard to understand why. Nobody wants to work with a management like that, which only tries to sign players up to 24 years old. It's ridiculous, and you rarely see this in modern football. It wouldn't surprise me if no coach tolerates this in the medium to long term.

He is shit, and owners too.

Walking straight into the Man City job in a few months it looks like

Won the CWC, UECL, finished top 4, currently top 5. He's met every reasonable expectation set at the start of his tenure.

Dead man walking.

Maresca over these sporting directors, all day, every day.

Four managers since these guys took over the club. The first one they ran out because he clashed with their “vision” and refused to fall in line with amateurs who knew nothing about football. They then spent an absurd amount of money to go raid Brighton for their top choice who lasted a blink of an eye because he was totally out of his depth. And next both Poch and now Maresca will both go because they fall out with the hierarchy. What a shambolic joke. And these are the same idiots that will be picking our next manager? Why are they not being sacked just like Maresca will be? Appointing the Strasbourg manager who no other club in the top half of the PL would even give a second look is criminal. We’re in this current mess in large part because the squad is so young and naive. So we may appoint a manager who has ZERO big club experience and will be under immense pressure from day 1? There needs to be massive protest by local supporters and boycotts if they do this shit. They’re running a massive club into the ground permanently.

Were cooked if that's the best the 2 clowns can come up with.

Think even if Egbali closed him eyes and picked a random Sporting director would've been better than the 2 dumb brothers Winstanley and Stewart.

Poor sod, I said it before this clown is hiding behind Clownlake gross incompetence of being crap and the cowboys pointing to him for this inconsistency.

2025 was the first year since 2020(Lampard) which we completed without manager change, not even Tuchel managed to stay for a whole calendar year. Kudos! Happy new year to everybody!

If your cbs can’t pass you don’t pass it backwards

This is what worries me. I doubt we'll get someone better just someone different who is around the same level...maybe they'll prove me wrong but not holding out for much

Writing is on the wall judging by these latest reports from Ben Jacobs. I think he’s as good as gone. If we appoint Rosenoir this club is cooked for the foreseeable future. He’s a manager that a club like Palace or West Ham would take a punt on if their current ones leave. You don’t replace one manager who was new to handling a top PL club with someone else who is the same. If Maresca goes we HAVE to appoint an interim boss for the rest of the season and then assess our options come summer.
