Dreading the season now tbh. Feels like an absolute train wreck is incoming again. We will sink without a trace before Enzo can implement his philosophy to a level that will get results in the premier league. 

He is getting the job because he is happy to have any players sold without consent, and will accept any players pushed on him. No top manager agrees to that, as it's their reputation on the line, so they want to have some say in which players will make up their squad.

Spending billions to then put totally unproven coaches in charge of the project just seems completely out of touch with reality. 

Think we will be looking another manager within 12 months.

Leicester are my second team so I've watched them quite a lot under Maresca.

I'm not sure I can say anything that hasn't already been said, but in summary Leicester were breathtaking at the start of the season, with Maresca's free-flowing style of play bamboozling and overwhelming the relatively low quality teams of the Championship. Once the element of surprise accompanying his system wore off however, it was startling just how easily this low quality opposition were able to frustrate Leicester and cause their effectiveness thus results to fall off a cliff.

Maresca then took an incredibly long time to adapt his tactics to overcome these issues, meaning Leicester's previous huge lead at the top of the Championship was almost completely blown. Only some slight tweaks at the very last moment saved their season.

Anyone getting a sense of deja vu? Does he always wear a track suit and smoke a fag? Were his press conferences mostly incomprehensible? Does he always have a face like a smacked arse? Was Harry Winks his Jorginho?

"Marescaball here we come".

God help us.

 
Eghbali and the like are investors, gamblers they’re looking for the next Apple stock at 10p rather than buying existing Apple shares.  Seems the same principle applies to their football acquisitions.  Seems Eghbali and Co are (to use trading lingo) “bullish” on Enzo Maresca.

 
I like how the ‘one tricky pony’ no plan b thing was being used by the De Zerbi detractors and the same thing is being said about Poundland Pep. Swear people just don’t like De Zerbi physiognomy, probably the soul patch/goatee thing. 

 
Chelsea have studied how Arteta eventually thrived after leaving Guardiola’s staff and hope Maresca can flourish in the same way. (@kierangill_DM @TomCollomosse) #CFC

 
“After internal talks and debate in the last 48 hours, Enzo Maresca is now the unanimous choice to replace Mauricio Pochettino.”

 
🚨 Chelsea's appointment was led by Winstanley and Stewart, who have built up an instant rapport with Maresca. 

Alongside data analysis and background checks, the Italian, 44, impressed with his knowledge of the squad. His connection to Guardiola is viewed positively, feeling is he will fit the structure and hope to agree compensation with Leicester in the next days.

 
Get ready for Sarri like football again. 
 

Pass, pass, pass…

For me, not wanting De Zebri was a result of PTSD: Post Traumatic Seagull Disorder

Are you f**king kidding me? It betrays such a surface-level understanding of the sport.

It also shows that no matter what our weird combination of players manages to achieve, they will always, constantly be undermined by the utter cretins in our management structure.

They should all be bound, gagged, and never be allowed to make a single decision about the footballing side of the club for the next decade. After that they should f**k off forever.

Absolutely f**king ridiculous. Do you think these idiots even know where Leicester is?

Arteta thriving eh? Won the FA Cup with Emerys side vs Lamps and what else has he done? Been Spurs in red basically.

But where he is excelling is making the Arsenal owners money.

I hope this isn't real and not their actual reasoning because that is just a lazy reason to appoint a manager. Sure Arteta is doing well but that doesn't mean every one of Pep's understudies are going to do well.
