💥🔵Andoni Iraola is a leading candidate to become the next Chelsea boss. TalkSPORT understands Iraola is the leading candidate.

(@alex_crook & @JacobsBen)

✅️He's a better choice than Marco Silva, Terzic, Howe, Glasner, and McKenna

From Bournemouth? Suppose they’re 9th but Jesus.

It's funny that the names Gary O'Neil 🤣, Lampard, Xavi, Tuchel and S. Hoeneß haven't come up yet.

[Laylabelle 9,721]

This doesnt fill me with hope 

[Fernando 6,724]

As said no point in any new manager when the board are here.

They need to go, no new manager makes any improvements with us because they are here.

Available, no. But it used to be when Chelsea needed a manager we could go to someone who was currently employed at another big club and convince them to come here.

As in the mud as we are currently I would hope that these guys at least make some top level managers laugh in their faces and tell them no. If they offer enough money and control you never know if one might actually say yes.

But it’s seeming more and more like Iraola will be the guy. 

No guarantee we will be able to convince him to join. He'll have other options

Yep, true. But unless Man United decide they want him we’ll probably be by far the biggest club interested in him. 

I really just don’t know how I’d feel about him at all. We saw Potter do a super impressive job at small English club and look what happened. The question you’ll always get with this type of candidate is whether they can get the big personalities and egos of players at a massive club to fully buy in like the players at their previous small club did.

If Iraola is the guy I’m not in the least bit excited. An upgrade on Rosenior for sure but not someone who gets the pulse racing.

I dont feel we'll get anyone who can do that with this board. Or until we can get better pulling power

Here in American sports when some massive job opens up there’s a common sentiment that you should call around to coaches of other massive teams and “force them to tell you no.” Even if it’s a completely pie in the sky, totally unrealistic, never in a million years sort of target you should still make the call and try.

I feel like we should do this with a couple of big name managers. Even if they laugh and don’t even take our call.

Especially Emery and Kompany imo among the ones already in a gig

I'm on 5 Live around 10:30pm talking about the mess

[Duppy Conqueror 1,584]

The chances of getting someone who would instantly command respect are slim.maybe Cesc due to his playing career. Iraola would with some but would need more control than just being trainer tactician to get the whole squad on side.

Before the seasons over we need to trim the fat at Sporting director and go back to one or two at most and that they just support the manager in finding talent not so much control.would personally wipe the slate clean there. If it's done before the end of season.maybe more proven managers could be persuaded to increase the available pool to us. 

Iraola hasn't won anything but when a tier 2 stable of base talent playing in a 3rd tier stadium are established Premier league side challenging who they are in the Prem in April that's pretty impressive.

I read one of the things the senior players were pissed with Rosenior over was his treatment of JA. Iraola would be great for Josh.

Emery, Simeone. Shit, even Klopp. There’s likely a 1% chance these guys say yes but you should at least offer them a massive bag of cash and decision making power.

Kompany is in the ultimate dream spot for a manager currently where he can sleepwalk to league titles and make deep UCL runs most seasons. Exactly like Enrique. I think the only job he’d leave Bayern for is to succeed Pep at City.

"Sources believe Iraola needs convincing"

[Special Juan 28,752]

We need to beg Iraola, not convince him. But if he comes in he needs free reign, these fuckers need to leave him alone and allow him to manage

[Fulham Broadway 17,735]

We have to be honest - whatever the question is - Blueco is not the answer

[Pizy 19,270]

All the quotes and stories I’m seeing on social media about Iraola make it sound like he’s one of those maniacal coaches who works his players into the ground in terms of training and prep. Which is something these players could do with but also something where you can see some serious issues since so many of our players are divas which huge egos. 

He sounds very much like other super micromanager type Spanish coaches like Pep and Arteta.

[Fulham Broadway 17,735]

'' The club remain confident they can attract the right coach, though they are not in active talks with any candidates and do not expect to appoint a full-time replacement until the end of the season.

They are looking for someone who can win matches and, ultimately, deliver trophies. will do as they're told and be the next scapegoat''
