Expand Not a bad shout actually. He's leaving England after the World Cup, I'm convinced of it.

HaydnNUFC Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Can't see Benitez going there or the fans wanting him. Don't know anything about that Amorim, can't lie. Judging by those reports about Frank, Tuchel and Pochettino not wanting it makes me think there'll probably be a caretaker there for a bit and probably against us.

Tiresias Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Feel Poch ought to swallow his pride tbh I am not sure he is going to get a champions league level club at this point if he wants to manage in premier league.

It's not a good strategy to have those players as the first building blocks for a team with aspirations of breaking the top 6. 1 or 2 of them. Fine. But not all 3. That's not a good strategy. You buy players that age for big fees or wages to come in and hit the ground running to hit targets. You do that - you need to finish top 8 this season.

Tiresias Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I suppose Chelsea are a big unknown, not sure Boehly comes accross as particularly patient and Potter still unsure if he can cut it at that level (or indeed manage an unruly and powerful dressing room, been the bane for a few).
