💣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.

@Thor weren't you saying that Pochettino would have us playing better? What does that table tell you. How much of this is really down to the manager?

Joao Pedro having an inconsistent first touch, Delap being unable to be an aerial threat, Tosin backing away from attackers, Garnacho being unreliable with finishing, Badiashile having limited passing ability, Gittens playing with low confidence - I think some of those can be fixed by a good coach, but to say that all of this is down to the manager is simplistic.

Personally think that Arsenal is overstocked in defensive positions, but good for them. We have a number of CBs too, but more than half of them are way below the level required. Even Colwill at his best is still a question mark.

When you have CBs incapable of picking a pass, then backwards ball will be here to stay for a while.

I think Tosin was a beneficiary of the rotation policy the directors have enforced along with Maresca. It took several back to back awful performances for him to be dropped, but its probably only a matter of time before he gets restored to the lineup. Players being played out of position, like Gusto at LB, is a Maresca thing for sure. The terrible first half with Acheampong at RB & Gusto at LB was all down to him.

Funny how an AI model is able to call out the genius strategy of these owners. Basically showing what the majority take across various internet forums is. That they're essentially stocking up players with a priority on resale value more than anything else. Madueke being a good example.
