Graham Potter Thread

[Fernando 6,458]

Any new coach that comes in would be amazing if they have JT as assistant. 

I think we need some of that here.

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.

In fact I wouldnt be surprised if we win against Liverpool ... new manager could trigger a new style of play or just allow everyone to do what they want ... HOPEFULLY. There is talent in the team it is important how they are directed, Kante could be the missing piece if he manages to play.

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

I am not. He's well loved here, so it would be very hard to back off from his appointment. 

Plus, no reason to do him dirty and throw him under the bus of 10 difficult games and falling out of Europe, pure scapegoat it would be.

So many conflicting reports. Reliable English guys saying we most likely won’t be making a quick appointment and will wait until summer, reliable Euro guys saying Nagelsmann could come in quickly. I tend to think it’ll be the latter. The timing is way too aligned with Nagelsmann becoming available. If we want to give ourselves ANY chance against Madrid we cannot go into that tie with an interim coach with zero experience.

On the other hand, what if something mad happens at the end of the season and a world class manager suddenly becomes available? Like, what if Liverpool have a totally shambolic finish to the already shit season they’re having and he decides his cycle there has come to an end? Sure it’s an extreme long shot, but it may be wise to wait.

Thomas Tuchel about the End of Graham Potter at Chelsea: „I read the message last night. It took me a while to process my dismissal. the club has changed massively. so it affected me less“ @ChelseaFC

Brendan Rodgers is a serious candidate for the coaching job at Chelsea because Julian Nagelsmann seems less realistic because he wants to check his options until the summer. (@TheAthleticUK)

Getting someone now is a must for me- start the ball rolling with them understanding the squad with what's left of the season so they can have their own ideas. Coming in the summer will be the problem of pre-season and learning to understand the players, plus the mass clear out that's coming. 

This pre-season will be massive and needs to be as less interrupted as possible, this means the new manager firming up his ideas and working with the backroom people in advance of the chaos coming.

Funnily enough, JT did a recent podcast interview with Stephen Hendry and mentioned he was no longer interested in being a manager so I wouldn't foresee a situation where we couldn't back away from him, and ultimately I'm looking at him stepping up as part of the coaching staff, not the interim manager.

I think he could easily step back into his academy role or retain a first team coaching role with a new manager.

Nagelsmann's my top dog in this race. Of anyone else available maybe Enrique would be second in line, but I don't really rate him that highly.

Either way whoever the next manager is going to be I really hope they're appointed within the next few days to give us an outside chance in the UCL last stages. At this point it's a long shot at best but who knows, maybe a bit of "new manager bounce" could go a long way?

And even if the UCL campaign was still a bust, at least having the new manager in charge for the remaining league games would give them a better understanding of the squad which should help a little going into next season and of course the summer transfer market.

One to watch is Barry to Bayern and some sort of deal been done to free up JN

Klopp won't come to us even if he leaves, he's by all accounts one of those snobs who want clubs with "history".

Isn't Nagglesman a big fan of JT?

[TheHulk 1,855]

Nagelsmann can't come soon enough.

Knowing the diva soft brat ass players we have this might actually become a problem.

I think he has a soft personality. When Tuchel got the better of him in 2020 and the whole Mane locker room bust up earlier this year. 

Literally the only difference between him and Potter is that Nagelsmann actually plays a ST.  Both play football with tactics that are jumbled every match week.

They are obsessed with long term so this should be a bonus if anything.
