The Next Manager?

[11Drogba 2,000]

Sarri surely now understands what he is getting into.

Insigne: "If I sit on the Chelsea bench, I will be happy because he did well with Napoli and our football was appreciated by everyone. "I wish him good luck and I hope he brings his mentality there"

 

Insigne announce Sarri before Chelsea

I would love to have Insigne here on the field, let alone sitting on the bench.

Guess we all would look like this before Chelsea manage to wrap Insigne up.

This whole situation is becoming a farce. Are we going to sack Conte or not? If so, do we want Sarri or someone else? It has been 1 1/2 weeks since the end of our season and we're still trying to sort out this manager mess while other teams have already started working on getting transfers done. The lack of authority and decisiveness from the board is absolutely embarrassing for one of the top clubs in the world.

Our rivals are already starting to sign top players and our managerial situation still hasn't been sorted out like you said. They've clearly had plans in place and we're just waiting for the season to end before acting. We are going to be so far behind once the World Cup starts.

Is roman still having visa problems? 

[Starman60 1,343]

Abrahamovic out of the country and cant get back in. Conte out of the country and doesn't want to come back in. Sarri out of the country and wants to get in. So Sarri cant get in cause Roman's out and Conte's in, and until Roman comes in and puts Conte out, Sarri cant come in. Keep up peoples, it's all very simple............I think

[Costa19 858]

I read some posts on a Napoli forum using google translate, that when the clause expires (and Sarri resign?) Napoli have to accept Sarris resignation and they can deny it with the support of some Italian law. 
I dont know the truth in it i just read it so dont shoot the messenger.

I can see it coming though. We play with fire and haggling over 8 millions and wait for Sarri to resign and then end up in a law circus with ADL and no one still knows who will be our manager come early July.

Well.... Good luck to him cause he'll have a job in his hands! Some of our players seem a lost cause so would love for them to not be lol

[Pizy 18,368]

You can't produce a Michelangelo with bloody Crayons, so this whole thing about Sarri being ready to "work with what he's got" ain't gonna fly here. So hopefully that's not our boards mentality. "Ah, we have a good squad who just happened to underperform under Conte this past season. We'll just make one or two mid-level signings and compete for the title next season."

Would anyone be surprised? The same mentality they had after Mou last won it. Tread water.

[zekinjo 449]

From my point of view while I’m thinking about Chelsea transfer market history the very first moment WC begins in Russia, there’s 90% of chance we’re finished with signing anything decent because everything after is a panic buy at best.

Maybe he doesn't know what he's got.... Surprise when he realises lol. No one is a sodding magician! So hopefully he ain't expected to be otherwise byeee

Even if he comes in with that mind set he will obviously be able to see hes short in some areas and will want players to beef up the first 11 and also we need better quality of depth as well in attacking areas without even looking at if any of Batshuayi/Morata/Pedro/Willian/Hazard depart.

But those mid level wonkey donkeys and high level one all added up to a decent chunk of change.

If only it was spent more wisely we PROBABLY wouldn't be in the state we are in now.

Let's put things into a bit of perspective everyone. We're coming off the back of a weekend and a bank holiday over here. There was never likely to be any movement or announcements over this period and the board may have realised that themselves to give us a little bit more time to sort things out.

If the media reports are to be believed, we've had the marathon meetings with Sarri's advisers and reportedly Sarri met Roman in Russia last week. I'm sure as part of selling his grand vision to the board, he's already identified and discussed transfer targets. There's nothing to suggest that we're not working hard on these at the moment, as well as sorting out the manager situation. The board rarely give much away and a lot of the speculation from the media is just that because they have no idea themselves.

Liverpool have announced Fabinho subject to personal terms, but United and City links are nothing but pure speculation at the moment. And Spurs and Arsenal too don't seem to be linked at the moment with much.

If another week goes by with nothing I would start to ask questions, but for now I don't think we should be overly worried.
