Sarri But Not Sarri Thread

And also had a press conference, so he did a lot of media

 

 

That's fair enough, I didn't see this.

Ironically he's probably in the greatest position of strength any Chelsea manager has found themselves in under Abramovich.

I believe what is in the media, that Chelsea want Lampard to become manager but not yet. In their ideal world Sarri will probably take us through the next two years of his contract, continue to evolve and develop a style on the group of players and leave the club to Lampard in a better shape than what he found it in. But with Juventus seemingly sniffing around and Sarri possibly viewing that as a better opportunity than what he has here, it may be the board that need to do the convincing rather than him which is crazy to think 3 or 4 months ago.

I think as the season grew on, and we got ever closer to the EL final they were skeptical of pulling the trigger and I think rightly so. Sarri started to find the right balance, RLC was pulling up trees and CHO was actually starting to get opportunities in the side. I think the Juventus stuff is quite plausible in all honesty and the club, I think, the club will see it as to part company in the perfect way, both amicable and with him getting his first trophy. If Juventus stump up the compo/costs he will go and I don't think the club will stand his way.

I honestly think Lampard is coming.

I am clearly not a Sarri fan, but he deserves to stay. He did so many mistakes in his first season at Chelsea, but I can see that he wanted some change. He gave RLC a fair chance and later after he fucked up the CHO situation, he gave him his fair chance too. Sarri now knows that some of our youth has some potential. He started rotating more and more, which he should have also done at the beginning of the season, but at least he tried to change somethings. I don´t see also another coach that could replace him apart from Allegri, who is probably going Barcelona or someone else. Sarri now knows the club, knows what our youth is capable of and he started to know that some players like Emerson are better than Alonso, which took him a lot of time to realise. He realised it at least. Mou for instance did not know that Ivanovic was past his prime and he paid the price for it. Sarri tries and he should be given a full pre season.

Ha, awesome photo. That could easily be a poster for the Italian Job or Ocean's 11. And what the hell is Hilario doing there without any pants?

First permanent Chelsea manager to win a European trophy.

I like Sarri to stay. He did well given the circumstances - lack of proper pre-season, toxic environment in the last half of the season, personal attacks, etc. Some keep harping about lack of rotation or being stubborn etc. Sorry, but some of the greatest achievements have been as a result of unswerving faith. Barcelona trains their players right from academy in every aspect so much so that it's instilled in the players as soon as they make their senior debut. What do we expect from Sarri? Only 2-3 weeks for what is a technically demanding system and we expect it to work? And if it does not work, throw the whole damn thing out and play long balls?? Actually, thinking about it now, Sarri probably over-achieved this season. The guy is classy - talks about the front of shirt being most important, the club being most important. And some have to complain about his Napoli comment. Give me a break - he just felt sorry that he could not won a trophy for the Napoli fans. Small minds.

As a Chelsea fan, I'm pleased with this season. More than anything, I feel happy for Sarri. If he's not treated properly by the board or fans, then he should go where he is wanted and respected. Life's too short.

I don't think it's too disrespectful for him to thank the Napoli fans. If you look at his career, it was Napoli that took the real gamble on giving him a chance to coach a top quality side for the first time. It were the Napoli fans that loved him and stood by his side through thick and thin. Especially after the roller coaster last season and ended up with nothing. 

Also very ironic the only people that are upset about it, are the ones who have continuously slated Sarri time and time again since October. Couldn't make it up

yeah but come'on man, he won it with Chels, with Chels sweat and tears not Napolis. He should have mentioned us at the least. Whatever, it is what it is.

I'm telling you now, to all the SarriOut supporters.... you don't know how lucky we are to have a humble manager like Sarri... a man with principle, passion, an expansive free flowing footballing philosophy and balls, big humungous set of balls.... be careful what you wish for.

In the Abramovich era. 

Sexton and Vialli were both permanent managers when they won the Cup Winners Cup.

i'm getting the feeling a lot of fans just want a Mourinho type of manager, imo thats exactly why Conte was loved, because he is basically the Italian Mourinho.

Who cares we show to be a bunch of plastics by not supporting him. Has all the right. 

Not gonna sit here and pretend I haven't criticized him because I have but as someone pointed out, not the entire fanbase have been against him. Some part of the fanbase haven't abused him - by the way, there is a difference between criticism and abuse but some people are taking the former for the latter - and are still backing him. So I don't know, is it that hard for him to just acknowledge the fans or something? To not do so and then dedicating the win to the Napoli fans instead is just taking the piss. And people wonder why the fans haven't taken to him, even in the bad moments, when he has seemingly been so aloof to the fans in general. Also, I wonder whether those who criticize others for criticizing the manager didn't do so in the past...

Finished 3rd in the league and won the Europa League. Before season's start I would have taken it with a big smile. He deserves to stay now and I hope he wants to stay.
