As stupid as this might sound I kinda feel Ange Postecoglou. He's more a Pep/ De Zerbi interms of his style of play and has personality of Jose Mourinho. Might be a very risky move

The mystery candidate is Ange Postecoglou who manages Celtic https://twitter.com/guardian_sport/status/1649765237279563776?t=Oj0isYpwbKzVe9tLeVVI3A&s=19

The issue is after doing all due diligence the shortlist has Pochettino, Kompany and Postecoglou as the 3 men running for the job. Everyone here looks like a very questionable choice which can turn out to be risky.

Plus he's got some massive results outclassed Barca, inter and PSG Pochettino record against big 6 was horrendous in the PL and Messi played his worse ever football under him

Pochettino bottled Ligue 1 to Lille and did much worse than Tuchel there and he had Messi in his team. Kompany is a very risky signing. He's doing well at Burnely but Scott Parker was also a good championship coach. Not sure how well any of his football will translate at PL. The fact the top coaches are rejecting us is ridiculous and shows how bad the club is being run now

Pochettino might bring back Rafa Benitez level of toxicity back to the club. Doubt fans would accept him

The owners probably didn't like a personality like Enrique. But they are kinda dumb to be fair. All elite managers have a big personality. Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, Mourinho etc. Nobody elite manager is going to come here and just nod his head for everything they say.

I love Frank. Absolutely amazing player. But as a manager he missed a lot of steps that others take. Arteta for example worked as an assistant to Pep for years, Tuchel was an assistant to Ragnick and made his way from Mainz U-19 to senior side. Frank skipped most of these steps. He worked for a few months and then got the job at Derby. I feel If he had a little more experience at academy or as assistant he'd have been a better manager than he is now.

I hope we go for someone with an established style of play. Enrique, Amorim or Spaletti. Nagelsmann is a way superior tactician compared to Potter but he doesn't have a set style of play like Potter. Not sure if this will work for us.

I don't buy players let him down theory. Especially if it's happened at two clubs with different set of players

Everton massively struggled under him and are doing much better under Dyche. I love Lamps as a player but appointing him basically means that Club has given up this season. Whole Bohley/Clearke capital ownership looks like a terrible joke.

Amorim is a great manager but would require lots of patience to implement his 3-4-3. Mount, Felix, Havertz might thrive under him but Mudryk, Madueke kinda wide players may struggle

To be fair this is the sacking I'd back. Sarri, Frank and Conte all had their bad moments but you'd know how they'd set-up, how their Chelsea team would play. You can atleast see they were trying something I never ever got this feeling from Potter. He often looked clueless. We had no clear way of playing our football. This job just looked to big for him and he was completely out of depth.

It's just a personal feeling but Trevoh hasn't really been prone to mistakes like K2 or Cucurella but has been frozen out since the World Cup He's not a world beater by any means but does a good job whenever he plays. Not sure why Potter would rather play James as CB than give Trevoh an opportunity.

600 million plus spent and the only player who kinda does any justice to his value is Enzo. Wesley Fofana looks good but is injured for 70% of the games. I'm not sure who even suggested most of these signings to Todd. A lot of them are so bad.

He is facing a lengthy ban for betting soon

My issue with Potter is we are not ash bas as Arsenal before Arteta or Liverpool before Klopp. He took over a team which a year ago won the Champions League and has regularly qualified for CL. I just don't get what's there to rebuild. Why can't we score more than 1 goal a month? I just dont see any progress at all since he took over

Kova is some great qualities. There are very few players who are resistant to press like Kova and he is also a good ball carrier and dribbler. Selling him would mean Kante is the only guy who can play as 6 in our team. RLC and Enzo are both more advanced players who are playing as makeshift no 6's. Andry Santos is also very similar.

I don't get why he is comparing himself to Arteta and Klopp. Arsenal were on a decline and had a much worse squad never finished in top 4 for ages. Klopp took over a bad Liverpool side. We have finished in top 4 for last 4 seasons won the CL in 2021. Having 2 wins in 15 games is a form of a team fighting relegation.

I'd love to see JT as an interim manager. He probably won't do worst. Maybe go for Roger Schmidt or Spalletti in summer

It looks more like it's an ego issue with Boehly. He probably doesn't want to admit he messed up with whole sacking of Tuchel and appointment of Potter

Amazing 2nd half today. That run and pass to Alonso was terrific.

He has been very good since coming back into the playing 11.

Hope we are able to keep him and Kante at the team next season.
