Special Juan

Still shouldn't be starting

17 days until we play again, great, just great.

People forget we paid 70 odd Million for the bloke- If Potter has anything about him he susses the bloke out very quickly and puts him on the bench. The team is already stale with lack of fighters in it, this guy is right in that bracket.

Havertz is a fucking car crash, how that fucker keeps starting games is laughable.

Fancy an easy win here- 2 or 3-0. Think the crowd will be right up for it, give GP a great reception and the players will light up. Come on Chels

No Mendy, No Kante. Kepa deserves a start so this maybe a blessing.

Based on how injury prone he is now we won't get 50% of this season from him.

Only time will tell, as it stands and after reading reports of player disharmony and TT being very hard to deal with, hardly surprising and that is without factoring in results and performances. Not sure how long it could of gone on for in all honesty. I mean the Leeds, Southampton Dynamo games were an absolute travesty. He wasn't the owners manager, they have given him time and even factoring how bad pre-season was it probably was a very easy decision for them to make. I like TT but based on the way football is now I'm more surprised at the shock reaction to the decision, wasn't a shock to me, in fact I was surprised he wasn't sacked sooner.

No reason for it to be even off in the first place.

They knew policing would be an issue- it's farcical it really is.

Apparently one of the big reasons the weekend is in doubt is because of the media trucks been taken from SKY Sports to facilitate the funeral coverage.

Absolutley this.

Be great for him to have the CL as his first game- More than winnable, at home, get off to a great start with the crowd right behind him. I have said it before and will say it again, I'm excited by this.

Load of absolute bullshit. Tomorrow should of gone ahead, respects paid, two minutes silence, loads of video footage to remember the occasion by- But no, they pull the plug meaning next weekend is now looking unlikely because of Policing issues- They know the funeral is next week, it's simply bad planning. All of Grassroots football is also gone, in a country that after a pandemic is trying to get back to some normality and kids who have lost years of education but take away their right to play football where once again more respects could of been paid and gratitude shown towards her majesty

But the Great North Run goes ahead.

Welcome Graham. Got his own staff with him too, got a good feeling about this.

Enough of the personal insults please

I'm right behind this guy, really hope he succeeds, he will get the full backing from me. I also think he will produce the goods.

Great news- lets get behind him and hope that he really kicks us on.

These names like Poch and Amorim are just hear say, it's Potters job unless anything drastic happens

Potter off to Brighton training this morning to say goodbye to the players and staff, sounds like it's all done.

They will know Chelsea are calling.

He takes his mask off like a Scooby Doo baddy and it's Conte

He's on his way to London apparently- Nothing Brighton can do the clause has been met it's out of the clubs hands. Looks like this will happen.

We have met the release clause for Potter and Brighton have allowed Potter to speak to us.
