It's clear that Clearlake want a yes-man in charge, namely someone that aligns with their vision of squad-building, and long-term plans for the club.

 

The emerging problem I see is that everyone still acts like it's a first day, while we are entering third (?) season under this ownership and the direction we are going is still unclear. I doubt this project is designed to last over the supposedly contracted 10 years before another sale, so the clock is ticking. Meanwhile all those candidates seem to me like looking for a way to start over AGAIN, instead of picking up the smallest signs of momentum we had shown towards the end of season. You won't win a race if all you do is burning rubber on the start lane.

And while Poch managing Chelsea was ridiculous and unthinkable thing to me, I don't understand why all media report he was sacked, while it looks like he quit himself. And it's a very bad review of club's inner workings and plans.

Behdad Egbhali has been struck by De Zerbi’s personality.

This fella was somehow scammed into investing in Chelsea instead of Brighton, wasn't he?

There was a lot of talk, even here, we should sack Tuchel because the team doesn't play mUh BeAuTiFul fOoTy, whatever it means. Yeah, go on and try to play like Madrid or Barca, with little dancey-dancey and occasional rabona with sub-par players in PL, where even the worst team have 10 times faster and stronger defense and 10 times more intense press. It will get you to losing 0-5 at best and visiting hospital at worst. Good manager adjusts the style of play to opposition. I can't remember us parking the bus and trying to use physical advantage as it's all we have, while I can remember us struggling with parked buses while trying to play some poor-mans tiki-taka instead of adjusting accordingly.

Hazard just named Cesc Fabregas for the job.

Come De Zerbi.

Ornstein names only Maresca and Thomas Frank. No De Zerbi…

What a fucking disaster if we choose Frank. His Brentford team are basically the modern day Stoke with the way they play. By far the worst name I’ve seen us linked with.

I feel like there will be a supporter revolt if we’ve actually sacked Poch for Thomas Frank.

I have no words if that is the case.. what a shit show!

Watch us pass on De Zerbi when we’ve got a free run at him and he then goes on to replace Pep…

Or United replace ETH with him and gets them playing dominant football.

[whats happening 1,624]

funny how no one here knows shit about any of these managers and yet we still shit ourselves about hiring them and in the same time dont want any of them to get hired by our rivals. 🤣

WE WANT TUCHEL!!!

🚨 EXCL: Chelsea no longer considering Kieran McKenna as next head coach. 38yo an early favourite + admired by #CFC but not among final candidates as process approaches conclusion. Enzo Maresca & Thomas Frank now only known options remaining @TheAthleticFC

Makes zero sense that Thomas Frank, who has only played counter-attacking football at Brentford, is being considered alongside a possession-hungry, Pep student like Maresca.

We have to suspend any kind of logic and accept the owners' process? Circus is the word to describe this.

I hope De Zerbi is still in the process. Plenty of experience - Shakhtar, Brighton. Known for obsessive team set-up, coaching patterns of plays. If anything, it has to be between Maresca and him.

Is it too much to ask for a manager who has actually managed a team in the Premiere League top division anywhere?

Is Championship where the clubs finds its yes-men?

RDZ isn't a lickspittal so he has probably been dropped for that.

[Mário César 1,289]

our lowest standard since 20 years ago

He won't be...

I just dont understand the thinking behind this whole progress. Know things behind the scenes but what's to say any of these will get better performances and results then Poch? It's bonkers the whole thing is bonkers.
