Supposedly told Tuchel the formation to play and who he was going to sign ignoring Tuchel words That is some weird Moneyball-bullshit going on right there. Tuchel must have felt like Art Howe(in the movie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Chelsea are coming across as “try-hards” I hope it epically fails but I don’t know, with Potter in charge I imagine they will do just fine. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daft Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 What makes this appointment even more interesting is the fact that Potter really didn't get Brighton to click in the final third. One of the deficiencies that Tuchel had at Chelsea and obviously an important point leading to his sacking. Maybe Potter will click with better players, but still. Curious.

Barely anyone last 2 years at Chelsea even if they win trophies. It's part of the job. Still you get paid mllions to live in West London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 £22m to get Potter. Madness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the hype, Brighton play some nice football at times but they had a similar good start last season then went 14 games without a win and failed to score at home for 3 months. I think he'll be sacked within 12 months. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get Potter and all his staff Chelsea paid over 40 million for Chuk, Slonina and Casadei this summer. Why shouldn't they pay that for a manager.

For a manager with a mixed record it’s a big gamble for a club that is willing to ditch managers so readily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It's not much money for them though. And they probably would have payed 0 for our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were fine they just never had a striker, and still dont. They were relying on maupay for goals which wasnt going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I have been surprised by the extent of media's seeming determination to talk up Potter's credentials. The Times did a two-page spread and the BBC assembled a trio of pundits to say only good things about him, and generally talk up the appointment. I doubt if Potter would have enjoyed such a fanfare if he had joined any club outside the top-six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see him being a success at Chelsea. I would have just asked for a huge pay rise at Brighton, before I went. He had the easiest job in the Prem.

He is probably on treble his Brighton wages and the pay off will be much bigger than Brighton offer He could work at Brighton 5 years or Chelsea 1 year and as working at Chelsea even if he gets sacked will get a good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If chelsea fail to get CL this year they are **** Doubt it mate, they could come 9th and they’ll still go and spend another £200m guaranteed. Thats what I despise most about Chelsea and Man Utd, they can fail as many times as they want, then rinse and repeat as many times as they want and just spend and take whatever manager/players they want until they get it right again. Zero jeopardy while the rest of us walk on eggshells hoping not to fall foul of those rules they set up to keep us in our place. God forbid we get a few top players of our own, they’ll soon get taken off our hands when they get their wages trebled then the cycle resets again; lets try to build a side again that can stay together for a year or two at best and hope we can sustain a big push for 7th 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Yep, if they fail this season and finish 9th they'll just sell the like of Harvey Vale for £30m and carry on like normal Edited September 11, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Chelsea now come across as that kid that doesn’t want to miss out on anything. They heard Man City wanted Cucurella, Man City didn’t want to pay £30m for him, Cucurella puts in transfer request and than Chelsea appear with a £60m offer… wtf! Why not just offer £32m or 40 at a push? Than they hear Chukwuemeka is being touted as a big future prospect…. Oh he could join any club for free next summer, how about bidding £20m for a youngster whose not proven it at the top level yet. Next, Graham Potter and Brighton are getting lots of plaudits, Chelsea want a piece of that, let’s sack the manager that’s got a 60% win rate and won us some trophies because we don’t want to miss out on this manager. Oh let’s spend the most money on transfers, let’s buy all the players. (Doing a Fulham) Literally acting like a spoilt kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they also try and sign Raphinha and De Jong after they were heavily linked to Arsenal and Man Utd? Scattergun transfer approach.
