Blue Armour

To top it off Boehly and co. have even reinstated the physio they fired last year. Shows how shambolic their decision making has been. They really need to make amends next season

Digging up an old post of mine from this topic. In hindsight, yes, sending Gilmour out on loan was a waste. At least he's at Brighton now.

All this argument about selling or keeping players at this point, is moot. I'd like to see how this squad performs under a competent manager first. Almost all our squad is playing below par, and they've all been managed by a bunch of flatfoots for an entire year almost.

By law of averages, we should end our losing streak at some point before the end of the season (even under Lampard). Would be hilarious if we get our first point under Lampard in this fixture. Ironically Lampard's record with us against Arteta is much better than Tuchel's.

Ironically, this would be the game to sit back and soak pressure. Now, watch the opposite happen.

I hope you are right. I just don't see it.

What next? Lukaku gets a second, sorry third, chance? Can't believe this club is making one stupid decision after another in a streak of stupid decisions.

Hope he doesn't choke like he always has, then Can't believe this guy is conning people into thinking he can do something productive. At least Mount could score against Madrid when in form.

Ironically, Mourinho is the reason why I think Pochettino will do great things. If a serial winner like Mourinho can look so bad at Spurs, Pochettino must have been doing something right.

Well then let's hope they have at least 'unofficially' decided on it.

Why not at least announce Poch officially? Doesn't help that there's still so much uncertainty going into next season. Doesn't help players or fans.

All valid points. All said and done, it's still year one under their reign. But they are really making a meal of this first year. A lot of the damage has been self inflicted, with them being seemingly oblivious to how stupid some of their decisions have been.

I wonder whether he went into the dressing room again to speak.

WTF are him and his cronies waiting for. Just get a real coach in now. Or announce it. They're probably hoping for Poch also to slink away so that they can appoint the Australian coach they always fancied.

Or at least make an official announcement FFS.

The players are very certainly sticking it to Boehly and co for mucking around with the managerial appointments. And for storming the dressing room Oh yeah., you'll keep hearing interview saying that 'we let down the manager'. But make no mistake, this is what happens when they have zero faith in the management. Stop mucking around and get the new manager in. Getting sucked into a relegation battle is real risk.

I said. And lot of others said it. Hiring Lampard as an interim was a crackpot decision. If we were going to appoint an interim, we should have got a decent one. If there was none available, go for your final managerial choice. I feel bad for Lampard too. He needed to go to some place with a lot less pressure and rebuild his coaching credentials. Not jump back into this cesspool.

That guy is so fickle minded. Praised Potter to the moon when he was appointed, slagged off Abramovich. Few months later, he turns over his head.

Agreed. If we are going to sacrifice style of play, and long term development for a results-based, guns-blazing manager like Mourinho, then we should get a title challenging team. But, if we're getting a manager that is genuinely going to improve the squad, and style of play for the next few years, competing for top 4 should suffice.

Wonder what's taking this long if they already know he's their man. If he is, that is.

If he has plans to integrate Colwill, he is already on the right track.

Football conspiracy theory: What if Eghbaly was conspiring with his clients to take down Chelsea and let Newcastle take its place as a top 4 club?👽 Before anyone gets upset or decides to chuck an insult, I was only joking.

Yeah it's not the PSG stint that bothered me. I was referring to his last season at Spurs..,but everyone succumbs to problems at Spurs. He at least has done better than most.

Same here. I think the level he took those Spurs players to, hasn't been matched since at that club. The only thing that bothers me about Poch though, is not his stint at pSG, but his last season at Spurs. WtF happened there. I suppose it had more to do with Spurs and Levy though, and so he deserves some slack there I guess.
