Wouldn't even rule out Mourinho until the end of the season, they're mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, I just hope they do the thing that creates them the most damage for the longest time possible. Fuck them, I hate Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bin him the week before and go 100% with a new manager bounce for a pot? Think they did that to Gullit, Vialli's first game was near enough the final that year.

There's a picture of his mother who he's the spitting double of. Couldnt get into it after seeing that. Find careers like that far more interesting to read about. Gary Nelsons books are by far the best football books I've read but similar level players Redfearn and Phil Stants books are not well reviewed.

Kimbo Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 21 hours ago, Geordie_once_removed said: If Pochettino is sacked which manager of the calibre they are looking for would actually go there? It looks a poisoned chalice if I ever saw one. A team assembled by spreadsheet and FM predicted potential. Presumably limited money to spend as Chelsea owe all the money to pay for these players but have declining revenue due to no European football and poor league finishes. Also their commercial revenue was pretty maxed out so no much scope to cover cost/raise money that way. They look like a cautionary tale in the making. Normally I'd feel for the fans a but it's Chelsea fans. I was sure Pochettino would get something out of them. At Spurs he had them training twice a day, they were fit and hard working, and he instilled a system. But at Chelsea, fuck all. I doubt his methods have changed, but this gaggle of expensive wasters just aren’t good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know they were bought for the wrong reasons, they signed because of the money and they get to live in London for a few years and get paid millions of pounds for doing whatever they want. They're not attached to the club on any level, they don't give a fuck about Poch, Boehly, the fans or the club. They signed for themselves and only give a shit about themselves. They're the ultimate gang of mercenaries and it'll never work. It's beautiful in it's transparency, it's so obvious. It'll cripple the club completely with a bit of luck once the multi year contracts kick in, the wasters are moved on at huge losses and the gormless cunt at the top will be 100% to blame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think most of us would have taken Poch before his Chelsea stint. in a world where Eddie leaves at the end of the season would we still take him or is he damaged goods in the same way Potter and Tommy T are? not asking would you take him over Eddie, just in that hypothetical. im totally unsure, I think I’d rather the exec team look outside the premier league but he is a very good coach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I said this 10 months ago: They still have some potential outs, but this is feeling increasingly likely to me. By all accounts they are going to have to make some sales in June to balance the books. I really hope no one bails them out with huge offers for Gallagher and/or James. But it seems like it would take some real wizardry (or reckless incompetence) to spend much in the summer, so how does this squad get back to the Champions League?

Stuy_O Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 He was also the catalyst for the deluge of new age football fans and the ridiculous money that now circulates in the prem. Of course it was all great at the time and the media were drooling over it, but if you were discussing the main problems in football today a lot of roads would lead back to Chelsea 2003 and beyond.
