I don't think he did too much wrong tactically in the first month and a half. The bigger factor was once he lost the respect of the players they just didn't turn up for him.

Think Emery would indeed be the top choice if I could choose anyone somewhat realistic but still likely impossible. But with Villa in the UCL again and being much more sensible and stable than we are I don’t see why he would come.

There was no plan to change manager. There is gonna be a lot of names floating before we narrow down on who's actually an option. I imagine most managers will be steering clear.

lol

Not the worst thing to sell some of our starters Signing a new contract till 29

No chance

Luis enrique for me...

The club has no shortlist or no number 1 candidate apparently. Says it all. They have no fucking clue. They’ve well and truly burned their chances of hiring another elite coach after the Tuchel sacking or any other half reasonable manager after Poch. They have killed their own project.

I would love Emery.

They can’t do that, even if they wanted to. They have spent all the money available and have put us into an incredibly bas situation financially. We have huge debts with massive interest rates. They are completely fucked. We have to sell our best players to generate cash.

I'm always surprised how quickly things change in football. Look at United in the first half of the season under Amorim and now?

I don't think either team is going to go for Xavi City have signaled they'd look at Maresca and Kompany who are far better placed to know the club's structure and have recent Premier League experience. Liverpool look at long-term tactical and injury records when looking for a manager and I don't think they'd move on from Slot in the summer either.

Xavi is probably eying that City or Liverpool possibility. I doubt he or any established manager wants to work with our owners or directors.

Imagine - we are trying to convince the managers of Bournemouth and Fulham that Chelsea is a step up.

If this doesn't wake up the owners to the fact that they are the stupidest people running a football club, nothing will. I'm hoping that they signal to the new manager that the project will change direction and they'll sign players in their prime, be ruthless again.

Can't even think of a manager that would excite me. The project is dead. We need new owners and new sporting directors to see any real change. Calum may as well run things until then for all the difference it will make.

Teamtalk and TalkSport are usually making things up

🔵🗯Xavi says he would love a Premier League project: 🗣️ “Of course? Where, I don’t know. There’s no hurry for me, but I’d like a good project. Like, ‘You have four years to work and make a project’. “I’d love to work in the Premier League because I love the passion there. In Spain, it’s too much about the result.” 💥Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink open to coaching Chelsea: 🗣️ “You know I love the club, so you know my answer. I will always be there to help. If Chelsea asked me for help, I’m going to help, whatever the capacity. But that’s not the issue here. That’s stability.”

Hopefully we give it a proper go in the cup Would be nice to see some of the youngsters around the team, especially as we have no depth in attack without Pedro and Estevao in the lineup. Get Walsh, McQueen around the side

The biggest waste of money is between Fofana, Mudryk and Gittens right now Talent identification hasn't been too bad. Getting the likes of Estevao, Hato, Sarr, Penders in. Sarr has the potential to be a good CB but don't really get why we pulled him from Strasbourg just to have him be the bench player here, should have stayed over there like Penders and gotten the game time. The problem is not signing those 25-28 year old players with the experience and hoping Sanchez/Tosin/Cucu/Chalobah will be automatic leaders as they are the oldest members of the team.

Yes but he is still part of the conversation, wasted money even though he has gone. Our talent identification is on it's arse

We sold Ugo to Burnley last season for like 20 million, could reach 25 million. If West Ham stay up, Disasi will definitely be gone. The hard part will be what to do with Badi, Fofana, Gittens, Garnacho.

Who??

Callum did well when in charge v Man City. I think you will see a total different performance than the last 5 league games
