Our DOFs might want to expand their list?

DeZerbi or Maresca?   In all honesty that is a pitiful response to bringing in a dynamic manager.

But they couldn't guys because regardless of the football, which was questionable enough, Potter just wasn't a big enough character at the time for a club of our size with a media circus baiting the club into slip and misquoted that they can jump on and exploit. Oh and idiot owners behind the scenes shooting their mouths off and setting us up constantly. 

If Potter had had that level of confidence and character in handling the press he may have fronted it out until things turned around which they were starting to do. Possibly the right concept at the time just not quite a strong enough character. Too nice.

Looks like nobody fits for the current owners regardless. Pochettino did a good job finishing top 6 when compared with the previous season so sacking him now and not last year makes no sense, unless of course the owners wanted a jump from top 10 to top 4 which looked impossible last year.

 
Haven’t scrolled through to see if it’s been mentioned before,or googled to see if factually correct, !however Im told Betway are offering 3 to 1, Chelsea starting the season without a permanent manager or shirt sponsor 

 
DeZerbi or Maresca?   "Young and progressive" --- lol.  I mean they are probably decent enough blokes.  Nothing personal.  Young and progressive. . . how about David Moyes and some hair dye?

 
The problem with Maresca in my book is that he is not a manager to cover all areas. Chelsea will do this because of the previous Man City links, which again is pure laziness and lack of vision on their part. Maresca worked well at Man City because he worked well in a structure, working possession based passing patterns. The other areas,  particularly Guardiola being the real leader would take these various facets and mould this into a machine, strong in all areas.

Take away that overall vision and driving force you just have Maresca keeping possession for possessions sake. As many have said before his success at Leicester coincided with them having the biggest budget in the division. I have struggled watching Leicester throughout this last season its so boring  with Dewsbury Hall the only player with any real creativity.  Out of all of the nominees Maresca is one of the least appealling to me. He only ranks higher than Frank's because he doesn't chew gum with his gob open.

A dynamic, progression club, looking to move the dial, gets Amorim, goes in heavy for Gyokeres and works with him in reshaping the squad in some areas.

Our lot don't have that. They will dress this up as progressive and we will go through this whole process again next year when we are mid table again.

I’d be interested to see Xavi at the helm

I would have, especially with Fabregas as assistant. But his recent Barcelona companies turned me off. I know that they are his club and all, but the love in for the club I detest possibly the most in football turns me off a bit.

I know exactly what you mean! I feel the same and probably why I’m more interested than desperate but I honestly think his style of play would bring the best out of some of our players.

Exactly as expected. Poor man's Pep. City arent exactly great to watch either, but at least they win trophies, I think we will get all the tedium with none of the glory.

Exactly, His coaching background is mainly Man C u23's & Peps assistant for one season.  Pep type football is boring but I guess you accept it if you are winning titles. To be honest, It's not for me.

To be honest he appsars to have been gagging for a move since the season closed and yet there does appear to be much outrage from the fans or the club pushing hard to keep him. Maybe there has been and I've just not seen it.

Peps rumoured to be leaving at the end of next season, Klopps gone.  There’s an opportunity there if we appoint the right man, but it looks like we’re going to screw it up by appointing a Championship manager.  

It’s starting to look like the angry little Italian is our best option which we all know is going to end in disaster.

It's not looking good.

I would have rather have kept Pochettino on for another season and if didn't work out in line with expectations, I would have gone all out for someone like Carlo Ancelotti once his contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of next year especially with Pep likely to leave and Klopp already departing.

Not looking forward to this upcoming season. I suspect the owners and sporting directors will face the wrath from the overwhelming majority of supporters once people realise the gravity of their incompetence.

NO, there were times when we were absolutely useless, but Its not about just the "UPS" of supporting Chelsea. The downs were bloody hard, but I kept going because the hope and expectation were always there to sustain me. Now at 67 years of age, spoiled no doubt, by 20 years of almost consistent success, I just do not have the energy or the money to spend close to £200 per game to watch the Club, which has become a rudderless ship, meander from one crisis to another under the collection of idiots currently running it.

This October it will be 58 years with blue blood for me but I still have the hope and expectation that this lot will sort things out. They have to own the club until 2032 and they probably have a value maximization plan in place for then, not now. Footy is all about business, it is not the ‘religion’ it once was and Clearlake eventually needs Chelsea to be successful for their business credibility. I think 2027-32 could be great years. 

Most of Roman’s success happened with no financial rules in place, it’s a different reality now and we have to live through the changes. 

All teams will have low periods, nobody has much more than 20 years consistently at, or near, the top. Look at Pool, something like 11 league titles in the 70’s and 80’s when we had no idea what winning a title was like, and they’ve only had 1 since. With Pep leaving next year City might not get to 20 years, the Arsenal invincibles didn’t stay invincible that long.

Enzo Maresca rejected an opportunity to join Seville. Chelsea and Manchester City have spoken to his agent – city want him back as a coach. Enzo would be open to joining the Chelsea. Chelsea have asked Leicester if they can speak with him. Ten million quid. 

He already knows he was not first choice for Chelsea and he knows he won't be first choice for Manchester City when the time comes for HRH Pepe to leave that club.

So our DOfs want to play Possession football - they took a whole bunch of coke once and googled it and stayed up all night watching you tube videos.  This is how important decisions are made these days.
