Won't even take into account a new manager wanting to bring his own players in - they'll either bring in more players and be left with even more spare, or they'll enforce a sell before buying policy, which will put most decent managers off Id imagine They were discussing that on BT Sport last night after the match. They can’t sell anyone until they get a manager, and what manager is going to want to come in and have to sell half a team before he can buy anyone. It could take a few seasons before they’re competitive again. Us and Newcastle are coming good at the right time.

What a shambles, some job for a new manager Bakayoko - 5 years out on loan Baba - 7 years out on loan What a farce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mykeyb Posted April 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Sacking Potter to replace him with Lampard was a really ridiculous decision. Mind you the fans wanted Potter out so serves them right. Edited April 19, 2023 by mykeyb 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad we have the owners we have. Gerrard out the door and Emery swiftly replaced him. Chelsea seem to be making it up as they go along. I cannot deny that I am loving every minute what is happening to them right now and I hope their catastrophic shit show continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I think Chelsea's ideal manager now is Ancellotti. Which isn't going to happen. Nagelsmann could go the way of Potter. I think they need experience now more than as anything. Jose Part 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 They need someone at the top of their game. But who in their right mind would want to work for Boehly. Of course plenty will for the cash but it needs a big personality amd also an agreeable nature so as not to bomb squad the players on the periphery. As others have said whoever goes in there will want his own players. If you have watched MoneyBall the manager gets given players and has no say in who comes. Added to that this is the opposite of Moneyball. Just a bunch of older players there for the money and a bunch of younger ones who arent going to get the personal touch that will help them develop. We talk about Emerys Watkins project and who he is going to concentrate on next. Chelsea have about 10 projects that all need help now. in terms of getting rid of players Any clever CEO who wants a Chelsea player will just hold off until the end of the summer window to drive the price down knowing they cannot afford to keep him and will have to accept less than market value. I can see club ceos doing it in unison as well as irs an opportunity to **** their future up some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably need to remove 15 players before can improve the squad and that could take months to ship players out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, Jose is a manager who would want to be in a European competition, unfortunately Chelsea cannot offer that. Their stock must’ve dropped significantly after the shambles of this season.

He wasn't any good first time around at Chelsea and when he was at derby he wasn't exactly pulling up trees either. He was just able to pull favours to get some good loan deals. Gerrard and lampard have both conclusively proven that they are awful managers. At some point in the future they might improve but I highly doubt that. Their over inflated opinion of themselves will prevent it. Edited April 19, 2023 by villa89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got Derby into the playoff final (I can still hear the Derby fans chanting his name) and Chelsea top 4 with a transfer embargo. It's easy to reduce these things but he did really well at the start of his managerial career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Sounds like Nagelsmann is close to getting the job, which is great news as he definitely would struggle there. Makes it easier for us to get top 6 next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
