What's a league win?! What's a league goal..ive heard of those things.. Mad Man U are 3rd and we are 8th place 13 points behind. And thats same amount of games played... Never mind least Bradford lost or we would be futhur down..

I agree the directors are idiots but by all accounts does not speak fluent English, and other than being known as a disciplinarian, I don't see a huge reason from his tactical ideas to make him a contender.

I would LOVE Simeone to come here and yes I know he is a 180 degree change in direction in terms of play, tactics, style, mentality, and philosphy, etc but we NEED THAT shame the BlueCo cunts' egos will NEVER allow him here for all those reasons same for their fucking puppet twat directors they can ALL fuck the fuck off

You don't want to ruin his managerial career again... ...

This may not be a popular thought, but I think Frank Lampard has grown as a manager. If his man management has got better, I would welcome FL 3.0.

Please no Silva.

🚨🔵Chelsea are planning talks with a trio of managers who have been added to their shortlist: ▪︎ Xabi Alonso ▪︎ Marco Silva ▪︎ Andoni Iraola Chelsea are in no rush to make a snap decision. (@JackRosser_)

Yeah, there isn’t one. Some people might have said Alonso would’ve been had he jumped straight from Leverkusen to here. But the Madrid spell may have knocked him down a peg. Although, the mention of his name seems to have loads of our fans badly wanting him on social media. That may be more down to the quality of the other names, though.

wouldnt hold it against anyone, that madrid team seems like a hell to manage

What's the manager that would be a wow signing? Enrique is at PSG till 2027 and might extend. Emery is tied down at Villa. Kompany will not leave Bayern. Can't see a lot of managers who are doing a good job at their current clubs looking to move. Doesn't seem feasible for us to wait for a World Cup bound coach to finish his international assignment either.

None of the names are wowing me either. As for Alonso failing at Madrid, wasn’t that more due to him clashing with the likes of Vini for being a spoiled brat than about anything tactical? I don’t even remember. Our problem is that due to how awfully we’ve been run I don’t think there’s any possible “wow” appointment out there. Or even one that may not blow us away but who we could at least say “even though I’m not excited I’m 100% confident he’ll make us a serious team.” All we’re really left with is gambles on overachieving small club managers of which multiple have already failed under this ownership.

I’m straight up ignoring that name lol. If we are truly considering Marco Silva.. there are no words left to describe this nightmare. I like Alonso but too many last minute wins in that Bundesliga run for me to feel super safe in his management style. Then he flopped hard at Madrid. none of the names are wowing me at all.

Did I say I wanted him? lol I’m just saying he’s a very good coach. He maximizes what he can get at a small club with super limited resources. Of the names we’ve heard linked thus far I think I’d put Xabi Alonso at the top of the pile followed by Iraola.

🔵💥BREAKING: Chelsea to make checks on Iraola, Silva and Xabi Alonso as search for new coach continues. (@Matt_Law_DT)

?? He will NEVER be the required level to manage Chelsea. What are we doing here ? Have we really allowed our mentality to drop to even considering this guy?

We would need some serious personnel changes if Iraola is the choice. Which I’m not sure we can do if the reports of our finances being a total mess are true. A LOT of players have to be moved on once again and quite a few that suit him would need to come in. Marco Silva is a great coach but I’m skeptical that he’d be a good fit at this moment. I think he would be Maresca level inday we’ll look tactically well set up and more structured but not good enough to truly become elite. Eddie Howe would be a puppet here. Very solid coach but again, is he good enough to challenge for titles?

This sounds like they're mainly shortlisting coaches with experience handling the league

🤢🔥According to sources, Andoni Iraola is a candidate under consideration by Chelsea. They have also been linked with others, such as Marco Silva and Eddie Howe. (@kierangill_DM)

I would take him in a heartbeat. He may not take more than 2-3 years at the club but he is a real top coach who never flopped anywhere. Bringing McTominay or Lukaku with him would be hilarous too.

🚨🔵Chelsea's five-strong group of sporting directors are working behind the scenes ahead of a summer appointment. (@BobbyVincentFL) 🔵💥Andoni Iraola is the frontrunner for the Chelsea job. The Chelsea board are frantically trying to lock him down. (@MarkBrus) 🚨🇪🇸Andoni Iraola is one of the candidates to fill the vacant Chelsea job. (@Matt_Law_DT)

Conte would be a ticking time bomb under these owners

Napoli manager Antonio Conte is among the candidates being considered by Chelsea as the permanent successor to Liam Rosenior next season. (Express), external Oh look there's flying pig
