Too risky in our current situation.

Sure, but I cannot think of an option that doesn't involve a risk.

I would argue that Nagelsmann is even more of a risk, considering his very recent past + his age. I am not saying that we should go for an old guy (Amorim is 38 btw), but I find it hard to believe that a guy like Nagelsmann can impose himself in a locker room in which you can find Thiago Silva, Kante, Azpilicueta etc. I know this shouldn't be a thing, but you just know that as soon as things get a bit bad, players lose respect for a manager that is so young. You just need a bit of experience and attitude to succeed at Chelsea. Or Bayern.

Luis Enrique is very underwhelming for me. His last decent gig was at Barcelona almost 10 (!) years ago.

I don't know, Amorim seems to fit a lot of boxes, more than any other option.

Silva is very professional and wouldn't undermine , azpi may well be gone and rarely starts . Kante is quiet as a mouse. 

Can't see anyone causing major problems because we have a young squad. Only the likes of Lukaku but he can be shipped off for peanuts 

Nagelsmann is probably more experienced than Amorim overall despite being a bit younger.

You really want ??

[Antonio8 736]

no to Nagelsmann, no to L.Enrique, no to Pochettino.

I want someone able to win, like Zidane or Ancelotti or Allegri

[Pizy 18,416]

On the one hand it makes sense to get Naglesmann in immediately if that’s who the board sees as their guy. But waiting until the end of the season opens up the coaching search to managers who are actually employed currently and may be tempted by a new challenge. You never know if some big name manager may fancy working with our ridiculous squad.

What if someone totally unexpected becomes possible in the summer? 

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Chelsea will try to interview at least five candidates to permanently succeed Potter. Nagelsmann early fave, but talks likely to be sought with (or with reps of) Pochettino, Enrique, Spalletti and at least one other

Ancelotti won't come back, he will train Brzail.

 

Allegri? 🤮 look at his juventus.

Surely to god it's JN, and I'm not buying all this interim until the end of season, a new manager will be coming in the next week or so.

Agreed. It'll be a manager who can come in immediately otherwise they would've had him see out the season. Additionally, I doubt it is a manager who was available prior to the break, so that rules out Zidane, Poch and Enrique. 

Only two managers fit this is JN and Conte. I cannot see the club going to Conte in a million years unless the board are p*ssed off with the players. So, it has to be presumed it is JN.

One thing I'm surprised about with the current interim position of Bruno is we've lost Potter, his main assistant and Barry is leaving too so it seems extremely light in this department, alongside someone given the reins with absolutely zero experience in that position.

I'm amazed the club hasn't looked to John Terry to perform something in this current set up for the rest of the season. He has some solid experience as an assistant manager at Villa and in a young group of players, he has the aura and a different voice in that dressing room that could get a reaction and shock out of this group. When we've lost three coaches in the setup and we're dealing with a stupidly large squad anyway, it seems silly not to make full use of resources at the club.

Tuchel, Potter, this interim guy... who is the fourth?

The new one?^^

[Special Juan 27,439]

TB and Co are going to have to fucking nail this next appointment. I said the other I bet that JN had been sounded out as early as midweek last week and it's all about getting done.

Losing to Madrid won't hurt now as this season has been a fucking shambles 

[Costa19 858]

Its written in the stars..

JN comes in and we play Bayern in the semi final - the battle of the tacticians.
Mudryk to come on in the 70th minute pacing past Bayerns defenders and scoring the winner.

JN does the Mourinho rush to celebrate with the players and after the final whistle Tuchel fumming around while looking for JNs hand to squeeze.

It will be the funniest thing if Bruno Saltor beats Liverpool tomorrow . 

[Special Juan 27,439]

We haven't got it in us t beat Liverpool, and as shite as they are right now they will have far too much for us, we can't even fucking score.
