If we get Mourinho I will be fucking fuming. 

Literally fuming.... I love the man even though he did betray us by going to the Yids after ManU.... he just isn't the man to take us forward as a club at this point.

If Klopp steps down at Liverpool (they’d never sack him)  I’d offer him whatever salary possible to get him here.

Please don't give this young set of players to Mourinho, anybody but him.

I don't think he would come though to be honest.... I can't see him managing another club in the Prem.

Yeah, I highly doubt he would. But it would be foolish not to reach out.

Imagine Klopp with a high transfer budget…

He won't come.

After all the things he has publicly said, he would be a massive hypocrite to come here.

And I don't think he will change his principles. 

No way will he come to Chelsea right after leaving Liverpool.

It is understood we are looking into talented, German manager Nicolas Nuchel - he fits Boehly's philosophy of snagging raw talent before other club's will look into them. Dude is gifted with bold character, hungry for success and reportedly tactically proven with difficult opponents.

I think if the owners are content on keeping him, we should look forward to his 2nd season form being better

 

 

 

 

Jump in performances but not results. No thanks.

And for year 1. Well we’ve not seen any ideas this season bar using Sterling at RWB and continuing as the best team in the world at passing the ball around the back 4 needlessly and aimlessly, with no goal of getting up the pitch.

first season implementing ideas

Problem is, no sign of this so far

they're playing like a top 6 club

😂

 

I don't know who Graham Potter would have to be for a club like Chelsea to throw 3 seasons to shitter for him to get us from 9th to 7th. It's beyond ridiculous now. But hey, the ratio of xG to square root of his shoe size is top3 level!

I loved the idea of Potter and I'm not a reactionary fan by any means but i just dont know atm. It's clear that the injuries this season have absolutely crippled us and the underperformers in this team have only hastened the poor run of form. But the thing that worries me is his general persona. We've seen him interviewed by the clubs social media guy (🤢🤮) and on sky etc and he just strikes me as a complete wetwipe. I just can't see the lads being wowed by him. I do genuinely believe he's a good coach but, well...we're Chelsea fc. Chelsea FUCKING FOOTBALL CLUB! We're massive (contrary to how some on here perceive us) and I don't think he has enough balls to be the manager we need. Completely understand people talking up Jose because that's the sort of profile of manager we should have. I don't mean his tactics but more his mentality. We need someone to inspire. Watching Potter early OK asking J5 and others if they'd tried their breathing techniques made me cringe. Anyway time will tell. The money that's been spent here will absolutely demand results. Its fine saying he's being given time but all of us I'm sure hoped for a massive turn around last night. My 9 year old fancied 6 nil and an Enzo hatrick....alas! Todd's reaction in the box told a tale. Do we think many more draws/lacklustre performances will be tolerated?

We've always done better with coaches with more personality - before Mourinho, there were Vialli, Gullit and Ranieri. I would argue that even Hiddink showed more personality.

Struggling to think of any coach that we've had in the past 3 decades who is comparable to Potter.
