For me it’s most likely #2. It sounds like Semenyo had made his mind up for quite a while that he’d go to City. He didn’t just decide today.
So our genius directors just wanted it out there that we “tried” (though we actually didn’t) so that supporters would stop getting angry that we aren’t trying.
Instead, it makes them look even worse.

Gittens has looked absolutely dogshit since joining. 

Reworded....
Chelsea will likely dodge another out and out number 9 and top class striker in the summer window

Probably has worked out better for his development also. He got jeered by the Villa fans earlier in the season against Bologna after a tough start and Emery kept playing him through that patch to toughen him up. Looks as if its worked wonders. Also would say Tuchel has put a lot of faith in him with the national team which will have no doubt given him a boost, particularly as his direct competition for that central role is Jude Bellingham (and if you believe the media as well as consider Tuchel’s publicly stated intentions on picking the best team as opposed the best names, he looks to be ahead of him as it stands for the starting 11).  
Think this summer will be interesting, even more so after the World Cup. We have been linked but it would also be something that I think the player himself may be wary of because he could have the likes of City, Arsenal, Liverpool also if he continues like this and has a good WC. He will be £100m easy if this form Continues. 

He made a smart choice staying with Villa in the summer. Didn't risk changing environment in a WC year 
Could see him leaving if Emery leaves the club but otherwise he seems a great fit there, becoming a club talisman and Chelsea don't look like a huge step up right now 

Was he not absolutely shit in Spain & wanted to go back to Brazil because he was homesick? Screams Clownlake tbf.

Salvaged a point but won’t manage to scrape back a 2-0 deficit every week.
Anyone saying Maresca is the right man should watch that first half back, ok there is a reaction in the second half but the first half was absolutely spineless. Could even possibly have ended up with 3 points if we were lucky but be harsh on Newcastle, particularly given Sanchez’s saves & not to mention the Fofana hand ball that wasn’t given.
This isn’t the first or last time under him we have been talking about Jekyll & Hyde performances. Its every week more or less. Shite first half then get a reaction, improving second half. Or vice versa.
His obsession with Reece in MF is getting ridiculous though. Pick the best team. If it means you only play one of Reece or Malo at RB, go for it. Ok maybe we another top midfielder to come into the side to partner Caicedo long term. Fernandez makes a bit of a difference today but then you watch some weeks and he is an absolute passenger. Throw in the fact that Lavia probably gets injured thinking about playing football. I do fear if Caicedo were to get a big injury also, he is the only player you can actually rely on week in week out to perform to a high level. Would throw all the money in the world at Newcastle for Sandro Tonali to be honest, not even based on today, top midfielder who is coming into the right age, has plenty experience, very rounded, physically has great attributes too. 

Would it be a disaster? Really? Maresca replacing Pep at City? Do people think he’s really gonna be able to live up to & improve upon what Pep’s done there? And is he really that good a coach/manager? 
Regardless, I don’t think City would actually appoint him if I am honest. There is definitely something off between him & our board/ownership group on top of the fact Pep has been linked with walking away from City at the end of the season for the second or third time in successive seasons. 
If he does go there, can we give them Tosin as well for free? Won’t see many folk too upset if Maresca leaves here for City either. He is an insufferable fucker at the best of times. He would probably end up playing Haaland on the left wing and Rodri upfront. 

What a mess. 
 
This is basically human trafficking at Sports level.
It’s only a matter of time before Palmer, Caicedo, Cucu and others want out. 
 
They have undone all Romans hard work. It disgusts me.

He was also part of the City setup (b team and academy) but it would be a huge call to go from Pep to Enzo.  
Enzo would be like United getting Moyes after the Ferguson era finished.

It's just one big catherine wheel shit show, I'm not Maresca's biggest fan as a lot know but I have also been seriously critical of this board and still am. The buying policy in the last 3/4 season has been hideous, all youth and the future without any thought for solid experience, I'd have paid extra to keep Thiago Silva around even without playing, but he is still better than Tosin, Badshit and Chalobah.
Scrimping on a top class number 9, dodging a world class keeper, not going for a CB when Levi got injured, this isn't on Maresca it's on the cock jockeys upstairs. Maresca has done OK for me in terms of on field stuff but he has also been culpable for some horrendous in game changes, starting line ups and tinkering far too much, that could be a two finger salute to the board, we will never know.
Both are very worthy of finger pointing, but this also proceeds Maresca, the whole lack of backing, not just spending millions but spending it where it is needed most of all. I'd have sooner seen us go for a Lewandowski than Joao Pedro, I want more experienced heads in this team, it's crucial at non league level never mind top flight PL stuff. The model isn't going to change, they see a lot of these players as the future, and this is why I always say don't be scared to play Estevao, he won't hide and he won't lose confidence by having a quiet game, every second on that pitch he will learn, you will kill him by not playing him.
I honestly think these last few days and Maresca going public, which he didn't need to do, has signed himself high, as soon as you go public and say what he did, which we know is directed at someone above your a dead man, whether you like him or not, he has crossed the board and they will now be out for him at any given chance. We face Cardiff tonight, and I don't want us to lose but I'm telling you if we do, and then lose to Newcastle, which is very very likely at St James's park, he's gone.
 
 

List is poor but what do we expect?
De Zebri is too volatile for BlueCo. 100%. Good coach with huge upside when things are going well but has shown at Brighton he will speak his mind & not bite his tongue when it comes to it. Howe has shown some good things at Newcastle, trophy win & CL qualification but they have also shown the same issues that his Bournemouth side did; can go on poor runs & conceding poor goals too often. Although could argue FFP has hamstrung him also with improving on what they have. Iraola & Glasner would be interesting moves but are they strong enough or just going to be yes men that would let the sporting directors go unchecked? Can they deal with the demands that this club should have? Glasner is an avid lover of playing a back 3 which is probably a formation the sporting directors haven’t built this squad for too. For Fabregas, it looks like he will do very very well but similarly with Rosenoir, who has done alright in France, needs to keep plying his trade and developing as a coach before making a jump. Lower level clubs in Italy & France are a different kettle of fish to what should be a top 4 team. 
But in all honesty, if we had to, Fabregas would be my preference out of all of those names if he’d be willing to move, even if he is very inexperienced as a manager. I think his career as a player gives him huge respect in the dressing room & sounds like he isn’t a manager who will be inflexible. He has spoke in great depth about trying to take things from all the managers he’s played under & that you cannot just be one dimensional effectively. Which is the polar opposite to what we have now. 

We will get shagged by any of the PL sides in the semi finals if we perform like that. Definitely not a good performance. Good result though yes.

Can we have more negative posting please ? Not enough

Absolutely deserved.
Like I said before, for the cost of this squad, the level of performance is absolutely pathetic. Someone has to answer for this because it happens too often - be it the sporting directors and/or the manager.
The players clearly are not that good (shock horror who’d of thought?!?!?) so in an ideal world, sporting directors need to be held severely accountable. They also hired the manager.
Irony is, the Cardiff manager was an ex Man City EDS coach who worked with Maresca so if they go on & win this, he’ll probably become favourite for the Chelsea job 😂
