Just get Luis Enrique in and be done with the clownshow.

yup

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

if there was a time for match going fans to make themselves heard, now this is it. This can’t be accepted at a club like Chelsea, with the history of success and competitiveness they have, especially with the players they have at their disposal. Roman would never allow things to become this dire, Boehly is a clown and needs to take all the heat for what is happening to this club right now.

He even looks like a scruffy nobody in the picture by comparison. Emery is a class act. 

Emery has coached Sevilla to Europa League titles multiple times, led Villareal their as well, has also managed PSG/Arsenal.   He knows what it takes to manage at the top level. 

Compare that to Potter who has only had exposure with Brighton....and it becomes clear that he is Moyes 2.0 (just like Moyes crashed & burned at United...Potter is making Chelsea a mid table club). 

What I hate about Potter is that he has no response to the rubbish performances on the pitch.  I didn't mind us losing a few games under Lampard's management as at least we knew he had the Chelsea connection and he was a young manager giving it a go.  We lose games under Potter and it's always the same line: "we gave everything"   "we all feel pain"

Emery must have been having a laugh when he saw the teamsheet and it was Koulibaly/Cucurella as the CB's.  Neither player can be trusted to defend properly and you decide to put them together....

I hope in few hours he will be sacked.. Cant imagine what Real will do to us with this clown..

He was awesome at Valencia too , they were consistently the 3rd best team in la Liga under him and have been awful since he left. 

Our squad is 10x better than Aston villa but their manager is leagues ahead and it showed.

You're right , lampard at least had sentimental value and made sense given the circumstances around his appointment.

Would be amazing news.

Potter is out of his depth and has no idea how to halt the downward slide. But who in the club was actually responsible  for signing half of this lot on inflated transfer fees and totally inflated salaries ???? Cucarella ( a joke), Sterling,Auba, Mydryk ( might be a good prospect but too risky for the money we paid,Koulibally — and so on and so on. Really sad to say we are currently becoming a bad joke

More I read about Naglesmann the more I’m skeptical about whether he is the right choice. He couldn’t be worse than Potter but hard to say he’d be what we need long term.

 

[Vegetable 830]

There was a lot of stink around Nagelsmann long before he was sacked (partly because he fitted Bayern mentality bit too well), but we are not really in position to be picky. Tuchel didn't have a great reputation as well.

If I was to give sb a risky shot, it would much rather be Nags, than GP. 

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

It's not that we are sleep walking into mediocrity, we're there. The longer it goes on then it will become the 'norm'. 

The Abramovich era will be looked back on as the Golden era by historians.

The statistics are just there: statistically he is the worst Bayern coach in the last 10 years. Its just a fact. 

Dont even mention CL, bc if u only look at CL, even Potter seems like a good coach. 6 games - 5 wins - 11:2 goals lol

The thing is: sacking Potter is very risky from a financial point of view. We risk breaking some financial regulations, FFP, PL and so on. And it means we couldnt really strenghten the squad in the summer. So we should be really sure about the next manager. Just sacking Potter for the sake of sacking is not the best option given the financial problems we will get. We must be sure the next manager wont have the same problems as Potter, Nagelsmann is very expensive as well, so paying him off too after 1 year might actually destroy this club.

It seems I’m the only one who wants it but….Conte is right there… 😔

A manager who connected well with the supporters, is a serial winner when backed in the market, and knows the club/league well. I really don’t see the downsides. Tottenham was the last club in Europe for a manager like him who demands the highest standards.

This squad we have needs an authoritative figure who will push them and demand top performances. Not a passionless amateur like Potter who wants to be every player’s favorite uncle.

Another reason why Arsenal winning the league doesn't do us any favors - the owners probably keep looking at Arteta as the reason why Potter should be given a chance. Hell, Potter kept saying it himself in press conferences., to make excuses for his terrible performance.

But they never finished 10/11th so maybe not. Hopefully not

Such an embarrassment he defended himself by pointing to arteta. Should have been sacked on the spot for pulling that card.

Fair play for Bohely backing his man and trying to change the culture of the club it hasn't worked time to crack on.
