Firstly you know nowt about Chelsea if you want Benitez back but say we won the champions league how are you going to celebrate with mates you've known for years or on your own in your bedroom. Someone who knows about tactics and knows all the Bayer Laverkusen midfield needs to get out more. You don't understand what it's like to be a football fan people have passion and pride you have statistics and facts.

Now delaying any managerial appointment by appointing a caretaker manager to mainly save face or buy time because he acted hastily in ditching the original coach at the beginning of the season…. 

You say it like its all in the clubs hand what to do and when to do it.

As I said before, most sane managers with ambition dont want to join a struggling side when the season is still going but wait till the sunmer.

Reports say that Nagelsmann e.g. isnt open for a job until the summer and even tho Enrique seems keen on the job, his management will tell him to wait as well bc there is also heavy flirting with PSG, where he could be reunited with Neymar. Its not like Chelsea is the only club in the world and a managers dream, there are many big clubs and there is no point for these candidates to rush the decision from their point.

So its not like the club is actively delaying the managerial appointment with a bunch of managers waiting to be appointed as we speak, its simply not.

Also, you say it like Saltor wanted to contuinue. Do we even know that? He is a Potter guy and from what I heard he sees himself in that assistance role and doesnt really feel comfortable in this headcoach position so we dont even know if keeping him for the rest of the season was even an option.

It's true that we have this tendency to sell best goalscorers. None of them was extraordinary for us but still... 

2 seasons ago 3 best goalscorers and only ones with doubt digits: Giroud, Abraham, Werner. All gone. 

Last season Lukaku was best goalscorer also gone. 

And now many want Havertz out who scored in 9 different games this season. After him is Sterling with 6 and Auba who scored in 3 different games all in first half of October. No one else scored in more than 2 games this season. Sure, Kai haven't been great, very frustrating with finishing but I can easily name more than 10 players in our squad who should leave before him. 

If we replaced these guys with upgrades it would be fine but we didn't. 

 

You might be able to name 10 players who should leave before him but in all honesty, he should leave in the summer as well.  That would give us a chance to rebuild the attack around a proper striker, rather than hoping that Kai somehow becomes a 20+ goal a season striker at Chelsea.  He could probably achieve that in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich but he won't get anywhere near those levels at Chelsea. 

As for replacing the guys with upgrades, Tammy for Lukaku (on paper) was meant to be a solid upgrade, no one could have predicted that Lukaku would have a mental breakdown about rejoining Inter Milan and then proceed to do an interview about it which would leave the club with no option but to loan him back to Inter Milan. 

Werner was a good sale but I still don't understand the reason behind buying Mudryk in January, he's had like 1 decent game so far and looked completely lost most of the time he's been on the pitch.   That money should have been saved for the summer transfer market on a midfielder who we could pair with Enzo, Kante. 

[Cosmin 2,484]

@Reddish-Blue- couldn’t agree more. I still have regrets when thinking of that Lukaku interview. It completely ruined our whole season, not just his career at Chelsea. 
 

As per Mudryk, I am quite convinced that he will never make it at Chelsea. He needed to get into a well-oiled team, just like Arsenal, for him to hit the ground running in a new country and league. We are wasting his talent and he will never be able to make it, considering also the pressure of the price tag.

I think I am way in the minority but I think bringing Lamps back to the end of the season (and no longer) makes sense for him and us. If we win a few games it repairs his profile and if we don’t he can say it wasn’t his squad and he was only helping out short-term. From Chelsea’s viewpoint I would rather him than Potter and My understanding is Saltor never wanted to do the job .

I still think the guy who wants sacking is whoever signed off the deals for Cucu,Sterling,Mudryk ( on evidence so far),messed up the Ziyech transfer,Koulibally etc etc. All bang ordinary on massive long term contracts — if it wasn’t so sad it would be a joke

If nothing else at least Lampard might help Mason regain his form and his place in the Team

Lets get one thing clear, personally, for me, there was no point in having an interim from outside GP’s coaching staff because the seasons been dead rubber since it started so why give someone else the 10-12 games or whatever. The time to have sacked Potter was months and months ago - the top brass at the club knew it was clearly too. Or they would have just seen the season out for all thats left of it.

This is basically a publicity stunt, a ploy by Boehly to try restore some sort of faith/good publicity in him and Clearlakes strategy but it is ludicrous. And there will be the % of folk who thought Frank was unfortunate to get sacked the first time round now falling for it.

It really just slows down any chances of any manager coming in and evaluating the squad first hand (which again, seasons done in the league for us, it would be a perfect chance for a manager to lay some building blocks or experiment in the league with some minor ideas/systems/personnel/combinations prior to pre season). It could also put doubt/unnecessary pressure on the board and even the next guy in the door if somehow Frank does well and say wins the CL (surely not).

If they sacked Potter months ago, it would of been better and made more sense than appointing another manager for say 2 months. This club has been a laughing stock since the season started and Boehly is hugely culpable because more or less the way this season has unfolded, was because of decisions he has made - extremely poorly may I add.

Not pushing to keep Marina and Cech in place to he could properly identify and recruit others to take their roles on was the first big one as they had a good working relationship with Tuchel. It was clear Boehly didn’t in that role. I get Rome wasn't built in a day but you’d think that trying to retain some sort of structure to your better prepared to replace people would make sense. 

Sacking Tuchel & hiring Potter - I mean do we need to say anymore.

Then not sacking Potter months ago - again, needless to say anymore.

Now delaying any managerial appointment by appointing a caretaker manager to mainly save face or buy time because he acted hastily in ditching the original coach at the beginning of the season…. 

The irony is that these people were quick to sack Tuchel and appoint Potter 

Now all of a sudden they've grown a conscience and want to take things slowly with the next appointment.

Someone on the board must be a Spurs fan.

When Villa sacked Gerrard they were sharing points for relegation zone. At the moment they are 6th with 20 points over relegation zone. This is what good manager do.

I dont think they know what they're doing...and probably why they're being slow cause they're clueless...which is why I expect the appointment to be completely bonkers

That was Boehly under the advice of Tuchel. Tuchel probably picked the targets with a team and Boehly negotiated the contracts over wonderful food. So they are both to blame but Clearlake is here for more than 9 more years.

Seen a lot of previous managers being linked, but truthfully Sarri is the only one i would consider. We have a bunch of players just playing individually, wouldn't happen under Sarri.

He has done a fantastic job at Lazio.

Yep, huge Sarri fan. He did very good here with 3rd place, EL win and Cup final losing on pens. And even he said he needs 2,3 seasons for his football. In Napoli improvement season by season 82, 86, 91 points plus they played most beautiful football. In Chelsea and Juventus he got only one season. And now in Lazio when given time you see huge improvement. Comfortably 2nd on table ahead of Inter, Milan, Roma with way inferior side. Really wonder what would happened if he stayed here 3 seasons.
