The Next Manager?

De Zerbi means doing business with Brighton again which is a hard no from me

To all those of us pushing for Poch to go, I would just say “Be careful what you wish for !!”. He wasn’t responsible for 90% of the bang average players we signed and unlike the Potter reign, many ( not all) have grown under his coaching - Madueke ,Conor,Cole,Jackson to name but 4. The constant change of coach will continue to get us nowhere. Poch should be told now publicly that his job is safe, before he tells us where to stick it !!

Is he implying maybe he doesn’t want to be here?

I think he is saying quite rightly that it is a two way process —and if he doesn’t feel wanted he may well choose to go, rather than stay where he is not appreciated.

I think that would be our loss.

?? We are top4 team already. Table last 20 rounds shows that or second part of the season. So Poch accomplished that even tho all the injuries and stuff... ofc we need to fix a lot of things especially in defense but we are already there...

That's some messed up logic there. 😃

I'd like to see this squad getting anywhere near top 4 playing twice a week with any Europe comps.

We very much had a top4 squad before "the project" started. The complaint was that we did not compete in the league.
What if we are solid 3rd, and once again nowhere near the top 2, in 2-3 years time? Will the project be considered a success then? why?

With the amount of investment we are making top4 should be a given. The tricky part is to compete against the top2, esp against that especial one, for the league.

So... De Zerbi and his staff are now available for free, without having to deal with Brighton. Still think we should stick with Poch for now, but it is interesting. I imagine if the end of season had gone a bit worse (and still if we somehow lose 6th) the club would be unable to resist.

The fact that he's available...and we have Brighton boys within the Chelsea management team....I wouldn't be surprised if they reached out. 

Not expecting Poch to get the sack as he has won a few games to finish the season on a more positive note (as 9th/10th would have been definite sacking).

Only a decision to be made if Poch walks imo. One summer without a managerial change please.

Restarting the process means another few months of a manager figuring out what works, what doesn't

Juve bound maybe, or replaces Motta at Bologna.

What is Potter doing atm?

De Zerbi, I'm torn, anyone who listened to Boateng on the 5 podcast recently will know that he seems the type of manager that our young squad needs to grow. I just can't get away from the multiple clubs complaining about Poch's training, non-tactical approach etc.

Kyle Walker again on the same podcast said he didn't realise what training really was until he left Spurs and went to City.

Bayern already denied it and they said it won't be an Italian manager.  

Feel like Bayern should just get Mourinho for a season, might be the only way to help Kane break his trophy curse.

Keep Pochettino if you plan to continue with experiments like Kieran McKenna . If you're going to hire an elite serial winner as a coach, hire him.

[DH1988 1,350]

Which serial winners are available? Not with a historic record, a recent one.

My biggest issues with Poch:

1. It took him awfully lot of time to clear the midfield mess trying to fit Enzo, Caicedo and Gallagher in when it was clear it was not working. And I am not sure whether it would be fixed if Enzo wouldn't end his season early. 

2. We are still bad defensively, and now Silva is gone, Chalo future is uncertain - so our 2 best CBs may be gone. I have 0 faith Poch will fix our defending issues.

3. The way he treated Maatsen - I am not convinced he is good enough for a top PL team, but thing is we will never know because Poch never gave him chance as LB even with Chilwell and Cucu injured.

4. As many people pointed out - our good run in the end was mostly against the team that were not fighting for anything. Even so there were part of the matches when we looked terrible, even Notthingham and Bournemouth were able to dominate us for large portion of game.
