Next Manager Poll

[ForeverCarefree]

Looks like The Smokey One is as good as gone. 

And whilst the fag ash settles within the managers office at Cobham who do we think the next person to take the reigns at Chelsea?

I've listed the current 6 favourites, based on betting odds, for the job in the poll but feel free to throw in your other suggestions.

It’s coming.... ™?

 

[IliyaKrostin]

Better for Franky not to take us now, he has done a good job with Derby and I believe he should continue in building the team. He needs that experience, I would love to see him in 2-3 years.

If Sarri is leaves, then I'm happy to bring Jose back. Call me crazy, but I'd take Jose any day, every manager can fail during his career, he has a part of Chelsea in his heart for sure and he can rebuild us.

I would be surprised if it’s not Super Frank

 

[ForeverCarefree]

It’s coming.... ™?

 

[Luca Vialli]

None of the above.

Ten Hag.

Build on the foundations laid by Sarri. Relatively young for a manager and likes to work with youth. Might be able to convince De Ligt to come with him. 

Failing that, Lamps. Think its too early for him but better than who else is available with his style.

 

[DannyVblue]

I'm another one who'd like Ten Hag as manager if Sarri leaves.

If not Ten Hag it has to be someone who is going to start bringing our talented youth through. Lampard or Eddie Howe.

 

[Malcolm9]

If Sarri does leave I would bring in Frank & Jody. We have some fantastic youth players that will strengthen the side if the transfer ban sticks this season.

 

[Sexyfootball]

I have a gut feeling that the Lampard and Jody Morris combo would do really well ...

Ten Hag would be an interesting choice, but no chance of bringing De Ligt with him with our transfer ban in place.

Don't know enough about Ten Hag to offer an opinion yet think it will be SFL with Jody Morris due to the timing.... transfer ban looming.

Whether that is the right move for SFL just now might be academic, you normally take the chance when the offer is on the table as it might not come around again for some time.

I think it'll be Lampard but that ten Hag is being touted by quite a few fans now.   If not Lampard though, i could see us getting Santo from Wolves

 

[Spiller86]

Ten Hag would be good if we want to continue down the possession/pressing path but we'd need some squad surgery to make it work. 

Allegri is the safest bet in my view. He can manage the egos and is flexible enough to make it work with our squad.

 

[big blue]

If we were serious about last summers 'long term strategy' then Ten Hag should be priority number 1. 

If the club want a safe pair of hands for a tricky period, then Allegri or Blanc would be my first choice. 

If the club want to gamble to try appease the fans, then i think Lampard or Mourinho will come in. 

I just want it sorting in the next 2 weeks. Give whoever comes in enough time to settle in the area, and plan preseason.

Best case scenario: Lampard comes back, takes a youthful Chelsea on a meteoric journey.

Worst case scenario: Lampard comes back, takes a youthful Chelsea down to mid table and is destroyed by the media with headlines like "Lamps to the slaughter".

Some red top should hire you on the spot as a headline writer, coco 

Do you have one for the worstestest of scenarios, Mourinho coming and going for a third time?

 

[strider6004]

Yes Lampard might come in next season and we achieve nothing yet perhaps in that season we embed a couple more young players like Reece James and Tammy into the first team enabling a more seasoned manager to come in a year later with no transfer ban and get the 2-3 players we will likely need.

On his arrival Jose and Cech are photographed shaking hands with the headline "Cech Mate"

On his departure it will be "Third time mucky"

 

[DaRick]

Ten Hag or Blanc.
