Who do you hope takes over next? Could you attract Potter for example? Hope you return to being a top 8 sort of side.

Was coming into this thread to say Maresca is a daft cunt to leave Leicester after gaining promotion, But if its true Leicester fans aren't bothered by this loss fair play doesn't look like an upgrade on poch though

Enzo may be less than impressed with some of the Leicester fanbase, but I think he's got more logical reasons for wanting to leave Leicester. There are strong rumours of a huge points deduction, plus it may be close to impossible to sign up Premier class players. It may end up being an impossible task for any manager to keep Leicester up this season. 

Of course he's jumping to a club that's famous for over-spending to a stratospheric level. But like another City team, we don't expect punitive measures anytime soon.

We've got to sort out our financial stuff first. Otherwise points deductions and inability to bring in quality players will make the job nearly impossible for most managers.

Having said that (and I'm in a minority on this) it may be worth getting Rafa down the King Power for a season or two, to steady the ship on limited resources (or even Sean Dyche if we could prise him away from Everton).

Top 8? Maybe next year in the Championship at best. I really fear what's coming this season. Don't expect to see much entertaining football from us this year, we'll be parking the bus as a standard.

Aye you wonder if that loomed large but still seems mental from Chelsea’s side. Is Mavididi not an option permanently because of this? Looked like Ben Arfa taking the piss down there. 


The whole thing is daft IMO. You were punished by going down and have had to sell and refurbish. Just get on with it FFS. Last thing the league needs is basket case clubs coming up to go down as per season gone.

I’d be honest, I wouldn’t go for Rafa now.

I love him for what he did for us, and I firmly believe he was the one who got Staveley interested in us.

However since he left us, he hasn’t really done very well elsewhere.

The China job went badly, the Everton one had disaster all over it, and he somehow managed to get sacked by Celta Vigo when he was leading them to safety and that was his only remit.

He hasn’t set the world alight since, and it’s 5 years since he was here.

Yeah, I was thinking of a "caretaker" type of manager who'd keep the place ticking over until our issues were resolved and we'd be allowed to sign players again and not start a season with a points deduction hanging over our heads. If not Rafa, maybe we could attract Dean Smith again.... (although he may be less than willing).  If he hadn't gone to Plymouth I'd even consider Rooney...no wait, that wouldn't work, something called Wagather...

It's absolutely shite, like. The Super League clubs have a shite season, buy themselves out of it. Leicester have a bad season, face point deductions, can't spend money even if they wanted to, etc. Fucking bollocks. How dare they win the title, threaten the top 5 for several seasons and win a Cup. Back you go. Hate it.

Surely Steve Cooper or Rob Edwards for the Leicester job? Heard they want the West Brom manager though. If you were picking a manager who failed promotion, i'd go with Rosenior.

Five year contract for Maresca at Chelsea so a nice four year pay out for him this time next year when they bin him! Mental cases them lot! 

 

He must be a good coach because of his record with Pep and TBF he sorted out a relegated Leicester in quick time which resulted in them hitting the ground running last season. But I can't see how Chelsea don't fuck him over with daft transfers and forcing tactics on him.

True but the Leicester fans don’t seem arsed at all about him going! 
 

Chelsea must have spent an absolutely outrageous amount on compensation to recruit and pay-offs over the years! A random figure I’d guess at is about £200m and that’s probably understated!

I can’t even remember all their managers now post-Mourinho Round 1 so that’s a fairly damning critique. It’s also all the back room staff getting hired and fired too that ramps it up.

Just Googled it and found this - so I think my £200m guess will be about right! Mental!

 

 

Chelsea’s appointment of Graham Potter as their new head coach is likely to cost around £22m after agreeing a compensation package with Brighton. It means that the Blues have now spent a whopping £156.9m on manager costs over the past 15 years, solely relating to compensation paid out to clubs and managers to appoint and sack them.
