I have been asked to speak on BBC Radio 5 Live tomorrow morning at 7:20am UK time about this game

Just let Winstanley and Stewart take charge, might as well

Caicedo showed just how cut throat he can be in the way he left Brighton and fucked over Liverpool. He is 100% off within a season or two. He will end up in one of the best teams in the world and we'll be like Spurs with Modric and Gareth Bale - a team that had elite talents but didn't put together a project to keep them because of the owner.

I honestly don't think there is a head coach in the world that will stay for long in the circumstances we serve up. All we will get is people that are desperate and can use us to get a leg up in their career, and leave with head held high that failures were not their fault. Overall been a fantastic move from Maresca, now a famous, reputable manager, won trophies and managed (some) elite players, gets out now before things get worse and his name sinks with the ship. I would say his reputation is actually higher having walked away from the mad house.
We should expect the same from the players too - Palmer, Caicedo, Enzo will move on in summer, or maybe the summer after. The project will continue to churn through both up and coming managers and players, never tasting much meaningful success but perhaps being just good enough to regularly stay in CL and get the occasional cup and a continuous stream of healthy revenue. 
This is the new normal under the owners until and if they decide to sell up.

I won't care from now on who they hire. After sacking Poch this was their guy because of the ex city connection, and gave him five years contract. 
They don't know what they are doing and still have not improved the defense. 
Won't bother anymore with who they get.
Wake me up once these fools are gone.

One of the criticisms of Maresca was that he was chopping and changing a lot. It seems to be a medical department call in some cases. 
 
 

The BBC are now saying that there was friction long ago because he wouldn’t wear the clubs tracksuit, spoke at something in Italy without their permission & wanted to release a book (again without their permission). These lot are control freaks. Get them to fuck. And where is this information undoubtedly coming from? Probably inside the club, to make them look good & Maresca bad. 

Glad they’ve got rid of him tbf although it will be viewed as daftness on the clubs behalf. He was half the problem but not the main problem. Now the 2 sporting directors have to go, thats the next move followed by a power shift between the owners.
It is well noted that Eghbali is clearly running this club & has been for at least 2-3 years now, he has run it into the ground. He knows fuck all about football & neither do the sporting directors or that Joe Shields as well. The wanna be Man City u23s/Brighton project has well and truly imploded. They should all be held accountable.
The fact the clubs statement mentions CL qualification says everything we need to know about the trajectory of this club. Just a money making machine now.
And theres the story out to try make it look like BlueCo’s decision is justified, just like with Tuchel despite nobody confirming what he did (Simon Jordan only one to even remotely discuss it without going into specifics) & him getting top jobs at Bayern and then England. And you’ve fallen for it. They do this every time.

IF the board hires a really bad choice as the new manager we well could see the end of any major chance for winning the league and other big trophies for perhaps a decade or so
if the new manager is absolute shite, all our biggest players will demand to leave, maybe even Reece
also, we still have no shirt sponsor (major loss of revenue for years now)
and the stadium issue looks to not be fully done and resolved until the mid to late 2030s or even later (massive loss of revenue)

Plenty of managers will still come, its like any project, even if they do poorly, they will still get a nice payout at the end of the day. 
We all knew Potter was out of his depth at Chelsea and yet he got the job because of "Brighton connections"
Think the problem is, how many QUALITY managers will want to come in mid-season? 

who want to be the coach of this club with such a stupid politics like buy only players until 24 years old?

I can't believe this is happening again. Another two years of "believe in process".
Maresca won two titles in his first season. Why do you think City wants him? And these clowns fired him instead of buying him a new CB
 

Under Iraola, Bournemouth have finished 12th 9th and are now 15th. How are people seeing him a fit for a place so results driven as Chelsea?

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. 

We have Tosin don't worry about it.

Ah duh you fools have not bought good defense! 

Embarrassing for BlueCo tbh. They are everything they claimed Roman to be. 

Top of the table club wants to get reinforcements to become even better, while the club barely in top 5 with a weakened squad and no shirt sponsor thinks everything is fine.
Every time I see Eghbali on the screen I keep thinking of his ridiculous statement of how the old Chelsea were not competitive in either a sporting sense or financial sense. Yet he and his cronies have assembled a team that is struggling to keep the club within UEFA FFP rules, has failed to secure a permanent shirt sponsor, and is struggling to make progress on the results from last season.
The major achievement is the low wage bill and low average of the squad. Great resale value., which is no doubt their number 1 priority.
 

The big question is: which of the other "ex city" players have been decent at Chelsea? 

Tosin is horrific at CB, Gittens looks a very raw player, Lavia can't stay fit for 3 games in a row, Delap looks like he forgot how to be a striker since leaving Ipswich. 
The last thing we need is more ex city youngsters.  It works when your at clubs like Southampton and you can potentially find the next U-21 gem, give them game time and hope that they kick on without too much pressure. 

Much as I hate it, from their POV I can understand it. At least for players over a certain age. They want to avoid another Sterling situation at all costs where we’re stuck with deadweight for years because no other club can afford his mammoth wages.
Limiting ourselves wage wise on players 25 and under is silly, though. 

you need to put some context
cucurella is better than hall

🔴The same thing happened with Pochettino, who simply left Lewis Hall out of the team and ignored him, whereupon he fled to Newcastle and is now playing brilliantly there!!!
And Tuchel almost cost Chelsea the loss of Levi Colwill because he didn't rate him either.
Fortunately, Todd Boehly fought hard for him to stay at the time.🙌
