"he was the youngest manager in the Football League when appointed Bournemouth manager in January 2009.^[2] Howe rescued Bournemouth from relegation out of the Football League in his first season in charge, after the club started the season on -17 points, then led them to promotion the next. After a brief spell as manager at Burnley Howe returned to Bournemouth and led them to two further promotions in three seasons resulting in the club playing in the top flight of English football for the first time in their history. Howe's successes with Bournemouth resulted in him being given the inaugural Football League Manager of the Decade Award in 2015".

This is from wikipedia. Its not like he just got the team and getting them to 15th place. He got them from relegation in the football league to the PL for the first time in the clubs history! He is also young (38) and has proved that he can stay at one club for a long time. He is also English, which some value dearly on this forum. Some people also wanted Zola to be our manager. While he is a legend, he didn't get the team promoted to the PL and is now managing in Qatar. Not that impressive either considering your logic.

so, a good showing in the lower leagues, and he's ready to challenge jose, pep , klopp? 

he needs to go somewhere like newcastle and get them into the europa spots.

It would just be too great a risk, he wouldn't attract any players, we need someone like conte to do that, without CL

Am I the only one who is for an young manager who has done something great in recent years?
I know people like Pochettino, but what about Eddie Howe? Has been great at Bournemouth!
Mark Hughes at Stoke is also a good shout.

Man I wouldn't even be that against getting Brendan Rodgers. He knows English football, not Conte

Conte would be a good option though. I'm just afraid that he won't understand English football, and how to make his tactics work there. As we have seen, Italian football is very different from the PL.

I get where you're coming from, but i can't see how the board is going to hire a young coach like Howie who hasn't won jack shit so far.

It's a fantasy, therefore i don't bother, the board will go with an experienced one, too often we hired a coach whose already behind his former innovative line of thoughts,
but it seems that they are reluctant to learn.

For the record, i would welcome Conte here, think he is up for the job, but in the end we're almost always talking about this kind of coach.
That's the way it is at Chelsea, could be worse, could have had Wenger who is always throwing the towel when shit hits the fan...
At least we're competitive for better or worse...

We had no manager when we attracted the worlds biggest young player at the time: Eden Hazard.

Well since you only base your logic on where his team is placed right now, then he is ready to challenge Mourinho. Mou didn't get us very high in the table this season did he?
Also keep in mind the squad he has and the squad Mou had.

Getting your low rated team from near-relegation in Football League 1 to the PL (and in a place where the team would still be in the PL next season) is not a "good showing" in the lower leagues. Its a terrific one! Hence the "football league manager of the decade award".

Some think I meant that we should go all out for Howe. I wasn't saying that. What I was trying to say is that he is worth a shout.

And do you think Conte is ready to challenge José, Pep and Klopp?

I would also, of course, welcome Conte. However, I do worry about the transition from Italy to England (Cuadrado, Salah is doing great there now). Its a whole different playstyle and all that. 
Conte is said to be very smart so I think he will adapt. Just a question of do we want another season like this one in order for that to happen?

Reports say that Roman wants a long term manager. I can't think of a better "long term manager" than a young one who has been doing well.

Just my two cents

hazard said "im signing for the champions league winner".   not the midtable club from london. won't be so easy this time.

and if the articles on conte are accurate, then yes, he is probably our best bet bar simeone to challenge,

maybe we will see howe in like 5 years

In Italy yes. Rodgers was fucked over by Liverpool (transfer commitee) and Howe has done really well with what he had/has.

What a great point. Really great way to start a discussion on a forum

Alright, lets do this.

I know people like Pochettino, but what about Eddie Howe? Has been great at Bournemouth! Pochettino is not much younger than Conte, nor have more impressive feats. About Howe, being great at Bournemouth doesn't mean anything, there are several steps between Bournemouth and Chelsea.
Mark Hughes at Stoke is also a good shout. Mark Hughes is crap and isn't young.

Man I wouldn't even be that against getting Brendan Rodgers. He knows English football, not Conte Yeah, let's get a crappy british manager because top Italian managers doesn't suit PL at all, remember that Ancelotti scrub that had no prior English experience?

Terrible post.

Managers and player are different and Mourinho probably did not know how to use Cuadrado.The premier league is not really that defferent to the Seri A.

And do you think that Howe would challenge Guardiola and Klopp? Conte has rebuild Juventus and has won 3 concesutive Seri A titles,won the SuperCoppa.Conte is tactically great and a great motivator.When Howe does somethink like this then maybe they consider him.

[Socur Toxanarosa 145]

Please, there arent comparable managers to Conte in England aside from Klopp, the question should be Conte or Simeone, not Conte or Brendan Rodgers

My mistake. I thought Conte was much older than he is
I know Hughes isn't young. It was just an idea saying that sometimes the "small names" are good enough. Hughes isn't crap at all.

Ancelotti is a terrible example as he had won the CL recently, and is one in a thousand managers that everyone knows is a football genius. Howe is not "crappy" and has achieved a lot (some people don't think there are leagues under the PL in England apparently).

As I said before. Conte is a good manager and I would welcome him here. I was merely stating that maybe it would be a good thing to look in the direction of someone who knows "English football".

Conte has to adapt and it must happen quickly, otherwise he's a goner. Difficult to adapt to the PL;
anyone can beat anyone, heavy schedule piling up, training different than in other European countries, can't be that hard here because of the amount of matches,
youth development different, lower leagues aren't that competitive here, imo and so on.
Maybe the board will deny him the funds to severely strengthen the squad, the world is getting more and more expensive, maybe too much for Abramovich nowadays.

Alex Ferguson used the youth properly, class of 92 and so on, it only made his side stronger and stronger.
You can say what you want about Van Gaal but he showed the world how to handle the youth, he clearly made mistakes, but he has done more than Jose and most of the other managers in the league so far.

At Chelsea, you must have instant success, Jose's an exception because of his past, so very, very difficult to keep your job here, especially when the other teams are buying.

How do you keep the prospects at Chelsea?
Splash the cash, Loftus-Cheek is earning about ~60.000 every week these days, it's simple to see why he put pen to paper, lolz.

It's much better to say i signed for the Champions than for the money. In my point of view, if i remember correctly, Ferguson didn't want to give in to his demands.
He is here, because we put money on the table and London, but that's just my 2 cents worth, maybe you're right, could be, or not, who knows.

Didn't say Howe was crappy, and a think Ancelotti is a perfect exemple, i remember people being very skeptical about him when he arrived, had no league sucess with Milan, he only got his reputation after Chelsea and Real Madrid. Conte already had massive league sucess, there's no point in not appoint him as the next manager, of course nothing is guaranteed, he may become a total flop, but right now he is the best option by far as i think Simeone is not leaving Atlético, and tbh i prefer Conte.

And yes, Hughes is total crap, ask any City fan if they miss him.

You say that Hughes 'is total crap' and that's harsh. He is doing a good job at Stoke and was he really that bad at City?
He wasn't setting the world alight, alright, but it's not all black and white, there's more to come than a binary call at the end of the day, there's a third option,
the term 'okay' fits the bill nicely, imo.

Ancelotti had one great season here at Chelsea, just like Jose recently experienced, but they both don't use the youth properly and prefer having a small number of regulars. They both have problems and made mistakes over and over again.

Conte is an option, for sure, but how can you say it's the best option for us?
There are many coaches out there, i'm no judge, can't say i know all of them and who's the best one for Chelsea?
Remember, the most decorated man isn't always the best one for the Chelsea job. 

Personally speaking, i don't have problem with a 'small' name, the talking is done on the pitch. Would love someone like Thomas Tuchel or the new head coach of Hoffenheim here, he is a 28 year old no-name, but comes across very intelligent. Yes, Roman won't do it, the legend... ready for Pellers getting the job.

It's not about the most decorated mate, it's about recent retrospect.

Conte's training are much harder than Mourinho's and Conte is not similar to Mourinho.Conte picks a system to suit the players he favours rather than the other way round so that doesn't mean he will use a 3-5-2.

Well he did play 3:5:2 and as soon Alegri took over, he restructured team to 4:3:1:2 with same players (bar Evra, but that makes you question, why didnt Conte buy natural LB in three years) and reached CL final.

Probably (hopefuly) Conte wont play 3:5:2 here, but I dont think he suits this team or league. He demands full loyalty and trust and has hard training. We dont have team of warriors and fighters anymore, not sure how current bunch of players would suit Conte, because no one can make for example Cesc a heavy worker,

Allegri has tried this season to change Juventus but he failed so he returned to 3-5-2.The question is why didn't the Juventus board buy because Conte wanted 2 wingers and Juventus was really lucky to get to the final.

Tell me why does Conte not suit this team or league? Why do you think we have no warriors and fighters? Conte will make sure that every single Chelsea player fights to win or they will not play.Conte will also buy players.

if conte does come to chelsea i hope he plays the 4-3-3 formation with fabregas koke Nainggolan has the midfied trio if we cant get koke get pjanic i miss 4-3-3 formation and sell oscar to balance the books
