Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly sacked Thomas Tuchel soon after he was told to stop going into the team's dressing room.

Boehly has been a regular in the changing rooms with the players in recent weeks, especially after poor performances.

Per talkSPORT, Boehly was told earlier this season by Tuchel that he could not be a part of that area when the manager was talking to the players.

Boehly was not said to be happy with that request, as the source states that Tuchel was sacked one game after that denial.

It wasnt speculation about his first choices. How long did we spend trying to sign de Ligt & Raphina this summer for example? Made numerous bids for de Ligt & agreed a fee for Raphina. Only for him only to want to go to Barca. Those 2, Sterling and Aubamayang were probably the only players Tuchel actually wanted properly out of what we got. Cucurella & Koulibaly definitely more club led I would say and after their past season or seasons, you can see why they could of been reasonable signings but the fees and wages were hugely inflated.

I see your back to defending the indefensible. Boehly now after months of defending Potter.  The owner is getting everything he deserves, finally, after a near year of hugely incompetent decisions which have piled up upon each other. From fans, from players (Thiago Silva) & ex players (Drogba).

We went from a team who made what 6 or 7 cup finals in 2.5 seasons to a team that looks like it could probably get relegated next season. But sure the manager and players are only to blame (not saying they cant do more, far from it but the managers & certain players are only here because of poor choices by the owners) - particularly when the owner chose a incompetent manager to replace a more than competent one and splurged on players who aren’t worth what we paid.

I mean if such an iconic ex player such as Didier is saying he doesn’t recognise the club anymore, with his status here, his comments carry weight. Just reinforces how so much of us have felt over the last 7 or 8 months.

But sure its not directly the owners fault. Yep. Sure

Drogba also in the exact same interview called the Shevchenko signing an intelligent decision. He also raved about the Lukaku signing and doubled down further even when it clearly wasn't working. Funnily enough the one aspect of the new regime I've seen him publicly endorse was arguably their worse decision (Auba).

Drogba is very heart led which is one of the reasons he became my favourite player but also the reason i didn't want him to ever be a manager and the reason i take anything he says with a pinch of salt, he does raise some good points but if he had a personal relationship with Todd or Eghbali he'd be the first rushing out to defend them.

Having the owner/big boss there completely takes away the power of the manager/coach in charge. 

Undermines a lot of what is being said. I can see why Tuchel had issue with it. 

 

Or at least this is my view. Some may think it provides more power in his words, but to me it softens them as you're less worried about your direct boss, and more so what the big big boss is thinking.

I agree. Especially since the "big boss" is a guy who has 0 knowledge about football and its spirit.

I understand if someone like Rui Costa, Edu, or Kahn decides to go visit the locker room once in a while, as they understand footballer's culture.

But not Boehly. I have the feeling that he is trying to win a popularity contest. Forcing too much engagement with the fans, the players, the managers.

This is not how it works in Europe.

I won't be happy until Boehly and and Clearlake sell the club and clear the fuck out of Chelsea Football Club.

He wants a yes man. Its so clear. Tuchel isn’t a yes man. Nagelsmann isn’t a yes man. Enrique isn’t a yes man. 

I would imagine its going to be Poch, which is fine because I think he can turn the ship around a bit but he has to let Poch do his thing.

He cannot interfere or be in and around the players in the dressing room. I mean how often do you ever hear of that for other owners?

Lets just hope Spurs don’t convince Poch to go back in the summer because if they do, our options will be very very slim going off the reports going around.

they truly seem to look at us a business above being a sporting club

they lack understanding of how a great club is always greater than the sum of its parts

and spending 2/3rds of a billion (just on fees, with salaries it is over a billion quid) and NOT buying a proper striker was pure madness

Fuck off Boehly you're just making matters worse.

Get on with trying to run the club and don't get involved with team and manager system.

I genuinly believe we won't win a game under Lampard. 

A new manager needs to be announced. 

No, not anymore. It's too late, the season's dead, nothing to play for. Let this season ride itself out and announce the new manager just after that.

We need to get the next season right. Boehly and Eghbali should go back to wherever they came from and let the people they hired run the club. I hope to fuck this trend of them going into team dressing rooms won't continue next season, surely they must get bored of it at some point.
