Why do you think so? First big job offer coming his way - I think he'll speak to the club.

Roger Schmidt from Benfica - Matt Law reported

From the Guardian article There were instances of the ownership attempting to foist players on him. Example was the case of Anthony Gordon who Tuchel did not want. Boehly’s data analysts had pushed for the Everton midfielder after being impressed by some of his performance metrics. Tuchel came to feel he had too many players to accommodate and not enough he could count on. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/sep/07/Chelsea-sack-thomas-tuchel-as-manager-after-defeat-at-zagreb-champions-league

We must thank Tuchel for overruling Ronaldo and Kounde

Matt Law, Ben Jacobs all reporting the club's version so far. Wonder what Tuchel's version of the story is. Whether he did not want more authority/responsibility and just wanted to coach. Seems like player power - of some average players who haven't played well for months- has also played a part.

- Initially Boehly-Eghbali wanted to back Tuchel. But over the summer, communication dried up, doubts over whether Tuchel can be long-term had appeared - Tuchel admitted he did not enjoy recruitment role. Boehly-Eghbali did the heavy lifting in the summer - Tuchel's preferance to be left to work and solve problems on his own, along with his close circle of coaches, is not in line with the inclusive approach of Boehly and Eghbali. - Boehly’s interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo : The American reluctant to simply take “no” for an answer from Tuchel, who, according to sources, seemed exasperated at having to explain his reasons for not wanting the Portuguese. - Privately, Tuchel's attitude and demeanour raised serious doubts. This was his undoing more than results - Owners wanted a new culture around the club and decided Tuchel is not the man for it. They wanted coach to be more communicative, involved in club projects like hiring the new sporting director - They want a coach who they feel comfortable bouncing ideas off and peppering with questions, even some that may seem tiresome to those with more football experience.

Matt Law report - Sacking is not based purely on results or Chelsea’s poor start to the season. - Sources say Tuchel lost the faith of players, who were surprised to be played out of position, left out - Anthony Barry is likely to take temporary charge - Apart from Potter, club looking at Mauricio Pochettino, Zinedine Zidane and Benfica manager Roger Schmidt

I'm shocked - new owners, same recklessness. Thanks for the Champions League in that weird pandemic year and go well Tuchel.

Doesn't have the same engine so far this season. Hoping its just fitness but clearly worrying signs and is no solution for #6 position

A 38 year old is our best player

I am glad all the contract extension talk (till 2026) seems to be out of the window. Tuchel won't have a long rope with the football this dire

Ziyech 😕

Why not go to Chukwuemeka - he has played 14 PL games

7 games into the season - zero solid performance yet.

which begs the question. Why not start with Broja

Broja for Mount edit - for Auba actually. Damn, Mount still playing

I fear we are saddled with Azpilicueta. He's done

Finding it more and more weird that last summer, we were targeting Tchouameni and Hakimi and this summer, they didn't try to strengthen either position. Losing 2 CBs really distracted from the team rebuild

Still early but typical gift of a goal and for all the openings so far - their keeper yet to make a save

Many many thanks for the streams for every game !

Will know when he starts out but I find it difficult to imagine it will be a Saul repeat - Saul's debut was a horror show - deer in headlights situation

and Essien
