Fernando 6,738 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 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. Fulham Broadway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,818 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 20 minutes ago, Pizy said: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,304 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 3 minutes ago, Strike said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,584 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) 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.

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. MikeDance and Strike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,304 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 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. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,779 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 '' 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'' MikeDance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkh 774 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 😪💥Someone close to John Terry said that he would have loved to work with Chelsea's squad and that the feeling might even be mutual inside the changing room. But it will be McFarlane, and he too is said to be respected by the squad. (@kierangill_DM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,095 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 What a pointless appointment. Money down the drain and we are worse off. At least there's an ounce of hope for some silverware. The owners have to appoint someone Chelsea, through and through or a winner. Nothing else will be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
