We aimed for it, but we didnt deliver, we havent been in a title race for 6 years now. We basically were just a Top4 team the last few years. 

How many points clear were we under Tuchel before a bad run of injuries? 

The lack of smart buys held us back. However, it seems like that and poor ownership will do the damage.

In the last 5 years we have finished 19 , 19 , 33, 26 and 30 points behind the champions, face it we have become a cup team.  And we haven't even managed to win the FA cup since 17/18 season,  we have one 1 trophy's in last 5 years from this country, and the CL, Europa , super cup and club world cup. Poch imo had a better time at spurs than both Conte  and Jose who some consider world class, it's a gamble I'll admit, but what manager isn't bar pep? Poch was at spurs between 2014 and 2019, Go back and look at the league table from them years, you might be surprised.

The above touches upon this issue.

Spurs objectives aren't comparable to ours unless Boehly has other things on his mind.

I don't get what you mean, they were Chelsea stats not spurs.

I'm happy. 

Pochetino is the best manager we can get for what we are trying to build.

 Nothing personal against him, but fact that he was laughed off here for years and now pretty much everyone is between fine and enthusiastic with idea of appointing him just shows how low we have fallen. 

We also use to laugh at the Arsenal team Cesc was a part of, still took him when the stars allinged.

I mentioned in the post above we were top by some margin under Tuchel before vital players got injured.

Poch was at spurs between 2014 and 2019 - His targets during those years weren't to win titles. I'll reiterate that any appointment will be asked to win titles within 16–24 months, which is something I can't see Poch being able to deliver.

I think one of the bigger problems Poch and the ownership might face is him not being afforded much time by the fans due to that Spurs connection. He will have to hit the ground running I think. Although some of that stance with some may soften somewhat with how bad a season we've experienced.

Not going to lie, but if it is indeed Poch, there may be nothing sweeter than him coming here and winning us some trophies to ram home the problem was always Spurs and not him.

If it helps, at least Poch never said anything negative about Chelsea. Unlike Benitez, who insulted Drogba and picked fights with Mourinho

Would Harry Kane follow him?

True, but he has 1 year left on his contract.

Would've liked to try Kompany before Potter happened but as of now I think we need a safer option and Pochettino ticks the boxes. We probably won't win trophies under him but right now we need immediate stability and I think he can deliver that. He was my 2nd favorite after Nagelsmann above Enrique so I'm okay with him.

Julian Nagelsmann speaks out after withdrawal from Chelsea manager search

https://www.90min.com/posts/julian-nagelsmann-speaks-out-withdrawal-Chelsea-manager-search

Julian Nagelsmann has spoken out for the first time after pulling out of the race to become the next Chelsea manager.

The former Bayern boss had been among the top candidates to fill the void left by Graham Potter's dismissal before his withdrawal from proceedings on Friday - a decision which left Chelsea surprised.

While Chelsea had long insisted that there was no leading candidate in their lengthy search for a new manager, sources saw Nagelsmann as the favourite to take the role and Luis Enrique is understood to have seen the German as Chelsea's top priority.

Asked about his decision by Sky Germany, Nagelsmann did not deny pulling out of talks but sought to clarify the terminology used.

"To cancel something, you have to commit to something," Nagelsmann said.

well fuck, Poch it is
