Zatman Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Very sad and seemed a great guy. He played a big part in Italy Euro 2021 win with his presence I seem to remember a Chelsea/Villa game on tv when he was player manager and he got into a scuffle and was about to get sent off but he took himself off before the ref could find him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Great player, great man. Bit of a nemesis for Southgate given his last role in football was an assistant for Italy at euro 2021. He did want to sign Southgate for Chelsea but we kept rejecting their bids during 2000/01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess there are release clause points in the contract and renegotiation points so that the player is compensated for the potential loss of the benefits of having a short period left on his contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't Firstly cos I think with the new owner the heads have gone, they'd already gone with roman, tuchel lost his job because performances dropped with the off field distractions, now they have different distractions and the players won't perform at 100% Secondly I don't know what get it right is for Chelsea... They won't challenge city in the league, they can win cups, Liverpool drop off means you can argue they should be 2nd or 3rd (definitley not 10th or whatever they are...) but I don't really see them as more than just a solid top 4 team personally and they shouldn't expect more, whether or not that will ever be enough I'm not sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 You need to be box office to manage the top 4, unfortunately Potter ain't, he won't last. You also won't get anywhere signing average players like Cucurella, who has done nothing since going there for £55 million. Bet Brighton couldn't believe there luck, in reality he's worth probably half that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Getting absolutely schooled by Man City. I’d be surprised if Potter is manager by the end of the window. Probably try to bring in Jorge Jesus. Either that or offer Pep £1bn a year to manage them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Was just about say the same. Not sure he makes it through January. Poor choice for him but impossible to say no when they come calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Non-box office managers never last at the big clubs like City, United, Chelsea etc It’s not right but it’s how it is. If they don’t have a record of success at the top level to fall back on then they won’t last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
