Next Coach?

The chance to participate in a competitive league. The Premier League is the best league in the world at this moment in time. The French league is pretty dull. PSG win the league pretty much every year. A manager might appreciate that kind of challenge that the Prem offers.

That said our board did interview Enrique for the job before and didn't think he was suitable. I think they based their decision on their vast knowledge of the game.

I notice quite a few premier league players choose to move to Bayern over the last few seasons, where Bayern pretty much win the title every season. The premier league may be the most watched, the best PR, not necessarily the best. I'm not exactly salivating at the thought of watching Burnley v Brentford anytime.

Augsburg vs St Pauli on the other hand ... none of us can get enough of that LOL

 
Iraola is keen to manager us per Romano.

If nothing else, his more direct way of playing will be good news for most of our underperforming attackers. I’d say Neto, Gittens, Garnacho, Mudryk and Delap all fit a direct side way more than controlled possession football - which makes me question why they were bought in the first place

 
Current administration load of sh*t, however “ Here we go, he we go, here we go, here we go…”

 
Yes, he could easily be their next manager as it looks like Pep is going.

Play football with a lifelong City supporter. He obviously hopes Pep is staying but if not then hopes owners go all out to get Kompany.

When I mentioned Maresca, the reponse was "f**k, no!".

The funny thing about Iraola is that he is everything we are not as a team.

Ever since he came to England, his Bournemouth is always one of the clubs with the fewest passes in the league and play a direct game. Whereas Chelsea come after a few years of a totally opposite style of play in which we like to bore the sh*t out of everybody with tons of passes in between the defenders and the central midfielders.

Another thing is that Iraola's Bournemouth is always at the top when it comes to intensity, counter pressing and distance covered. Chelsea is last this season in every one of those kind of aspects, we were outrun by every single opponent this season 😂

Even Semenyo said this week or the other week that Iraola is all about "run, run, run".

I mean, his ideas are good, but it would take some time to go from a squad that is used with underperforming to a one that would demand a lot of sacrifice, especially in a World Cup summer with a restricted pre-season.

At least Iraola does not care about being involved in transfers, so this is music to our board's ears 😂

 
I think Iraola is a decent manager but would be a disaster waiting to happen the more I think about it, with the injury issues we have had in recent times and the multiple competitions (if we qualify for Europe) & coming off the back of a World Cup I think the players will struggle big time

One thing is the sure, the players would not know what hit them when they find out about the running expectations. I say bring it on.

Probably that last sentence means he will be heavily considered. No doubt if we end up hiring him, Alex Scott will be his KDH.

He played at Athletic Club, a team known for their high intensity. As an example, they ran an average of 117 kms per game in the CL this season vs the 112kms for Chelsea. It’s only natural that he’s going to want to play high intensity football as a coach.

He did play under el loco Bielsa, two seasons. Oh, what a right flank with Iraola and Susaeta…

 
If we were to appoint Iraola it would be a[nother] lesson to never listen to anything that comes out of the club or their appointed mouthpieces.

"Anonymous source from inside the club: We're looking to appoint a total c**t to kick the living sh*t out of this insipid dressing room"

"Chelsea are proud to appoint Andoni Iraola on a 57-year contract"
