No new manager will want to take over with a transfer ban. This is perfect and for now we will be forced to stick with a manager for once. Says a lot when this is the best argument people can make on why we should keep Sarri. Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I have wanted to keep the past manager. Doubt any Chelsea fan would say no to stability but the problem is, Sarri hasn't given us any reason why we should persist with him, even through the hard times. Backing the manager for the sake of it is hardly a recipe for success. This person nailed it with Sarri (although No.5 is a bit harsh). And that's without mentioning the confusing messages he's said vs his actions. He criticized them after a defeat and has gone on to play the same lot in the next game OR he went from "CHO is not ready" to "CHO is ready. I consider him on the same level as Pedro/Willian" to "I can only play CHO if we sell one of Pedro/Willian/Hazard"!

It's always the same. This isn't even about a bad period anymore. It's about his team management. He's been playing the same formation, making the same subs in every single game, setting us up with predictable tactics, not reacting to opponents' tactics. criticizing the players but continuing to play them, praising some players but then not rewarding them with starting places etc. We've been playing badly for months now and he's shown next to zero changes in trying to turn things around. He's just throwing the same thing out every time and hoping it goes well. We criticized the likes of Mourinho/Conte for being guilty of those in the past - I believe even you did it - so why is Sarri getting all the free pass now? 1905didierblue, Fernando and YorkshireBlue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always the same. I can (and have) accepted not perfect, but i can't accept the meak capiluations of late, it's relegation form. I do actually like what Sarri is trying to do system wise (i particularly like how comfortable we are playing out from the back for the most part even against the elite, my one criticism of Jose and Conte even when it was all gardens and flowers was how we struggled against intelligent pressing), but so many things are going against him now (some his doing others not).

This is where the problem lies, with the board. The recruitment at this club has been shocking for years now.

communicate 2,703 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 7 hours ago, Special Juan said: To be fair Howe has done a super job at Bournemouth, and considering their spending power he has them playing good football. I'm not for one minute saying we should go for him, but this club bunny hop their way through managers so much it's like scratching around the lost property bin year on year. The young English bloke who's done well on a poor budget would be something, that I think, the board would see as 'fuck it let's give it a go' We've done AVB, Jose x2, the Italian chain smoker is charge now, who was meant to bring 'Sarri-ball', it's more like Sorry-ball because I don't think the players have a clue what it is, and neither does Sarri. It is more than possession football. To be able to be successful he need to have a style that can be successful for big team if not it will be like David Moyes all over again. I need to watch bournemouth play more to understand,but I watched Poch soton team twice and I understand why he was hired for spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he is happy with the squad and wont expect any signings knowing the squad will fuck up and he gets the sack after a couple of months. Easy payday for Zidane!

No. It is going to be a disaster. Built a strong foundation of possession based team and then you can bring manager like Lamp or Terry. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the most expensive squad and the best squad in the league. The lack of excitement being able to go toe to toe to city really shows that. Chelsea fans still think we are at the same level as City but clearly we are not. We cannot compete in the market with city, what we can do is spend correctly and build a strong foundation for the future.

A lot and seems so much behind the scenes crap going on as well. Didn't deserve what happened today at all. Just annoying how set we seemed years back with Jose and then that went so sour.. Twice! Yeah especially as we may only have window for a while.. Lets hope they do spend correctly. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,320 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Chlsea fans are not spoilt. That is bollocks. What we are is sick of self-inflicted wounds from every angle. Why the fuck would we want to go back to the shit club of the 70's, 80's and 90's? It would be like telling the people living in Shoreditch to slum out because some billionaire Russian says so and bunch of old jelly fools want to see a vibrant neighbourhood revert back to a shithole of their youth so they can feel good via schadenfreude. Ownership on down are the bad guys in this all. Marina has been a DISASTER at her job, yet is untouchable, still in absolute puppet-power. The board have rule-broken us into a 2 window transfer ban, yet are safe n sound in their jobs because...SIBNEFT Sarri got what he deserved from Kepa. 2/3rs of a year of horrific personnel decisions. Playing clearly SHIT players over others, to points it has cost us dearly overall in terms of potential exits and also standings. Why the fuck would Sarri demand to take off a clearly superior player for a scrub. Caballero is shit. Only thing I regret is that is wasn't Emerson refusing to come off for Alonso. It isnt player power, it is common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
