Mate you are the worse plastic/ armchair fan I've ever had the misfortune to read your a disgrace . I could imagine you saying that in a pub full of Chelsea fans you would get laughed at before being asked probably not politely to leave.

Can I laugh at this match going fans for obviously not knowing much about football?

What's that got to do with anything they don't know a footballer cause they don't spend all their time on a laptop they actually spend money watching their team not watching an illegal stream bruv. If someone told me we were interested in some guy from PSG or AC. Milan I would have no idea who they are cause I have no interest in them I'm not from the FIFA nerd trainspotter type of football fan most English people aren't dude they support their local club everything else is irrelevant.

Who would u want as intermin?

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….

Tammy, Lukaku, Werner and Bats all had to go. I thought that much was obvious - unless they wanted to be squad players, which they didn’t. Thats why Tammy went to Roma, Giroud went to AC Milan, Werner went to Leipzig and Lukaku, well he shot himself in the foot with that interview and he should never pull the jersey on again partly for that and partly because he is average. I mean basically saying you didn’t want to leave Inter 6 months down the line when things weren’t all rosy here after signing for the team you claimed to have supported as a kid is pretty stupid.

I mean its not like TT didn't try to get rid of Pulisic (again have Boehly to thank for that vetoing a potential loan to Newcastle because he thought with the WC coming up and the US going that Pulisic would somehow represent some value to the club) & Ziyech in the summer. He wanted Raphina to sign, then was a main driving force behind the Sterling & Aubamayang moves.

He wanted to completely overhaul the attack because it wasn’t good enough…. Yet he is the reason we are where we are? Behave yourself.

Potter & Boehly are the reason we are were we are. Poor management and poor judgement. I mean to sack a pretty good manager after 7 games at any level is ridiculous. Then hiring one with no real experience at a big club in transition is also pretty ridiculous.

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.

Again, spending lots of money following football isn't a flex. A lot of fans have a wider knowledge and appreciation of the game. That's a good thing, it makes discussion more interesting. What would be the point of a forum if no one had heard of anyone outside of potter and mason mount.

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.

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.

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.
