You got the wrong idea old boy, I am also color blind, however I do feel positions should be filled on merit, take from that what you will, but for the record as a teenager I opposed the NF & BM when they handed out their hateful propaganda outside the Bridge and still do. Let’s leave it at that and apologies if I offended anyone on here never my intent even though I’m apparently a “bell end” 😂

Respectable result for LR first game if not to be expected. Better player resources overcame their resistance and the 2nd half was an enjoyable cup game. Never any doubt after the KO whistle blew. A sterner test awaits next game, that I feel will show us more of what this young upcoming 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 DEI coach is made of.

Change what change Arrogant inexperienced coach gobbling off at presser 2 bob line up Tosin Badd in front of Jorgensen 🤦🏻 Gui up top 😅 Charity FC incoming ?🤣

That miserable and smug at the same time Billy Hunt Egbhali sitting in the stands today alongside the next coach who won’t finish his contract - FARK him and the other masturbaters alongside him. Him and his scumbag investor chums have dragged our beloved club through the mud, culminating in a shyte storm at The Cottage earlier today . I’m close to being done with them all, part of me though says why should I lose interest in the club I loved and followed as a kid and would of gone to ‘war’ for in the past, why let these Septic mutha farkers do that to you ? Another part says there’s SIX more seasons of this torture. Yes last season was ok by accident not by design. Maresca was a numpty and his tactics Shyte at times but he had a win % of 60 something tells me the next victim in line will never equal that. What a 2 bob state of affairs to go from proper European champions to a fiasco of the highest order and the laughing stock of the EPL in just under 5 years- good Bowie tune that with similar sentiments.

Palmer, Stevo, Caicedo only 3 players that would make the trophy winning machine CFC teams of recent yesteryears under the best managers football had to offer, now a squad full of bang average or sub par led by an unknown coach. TWO BOB ALL ROUND PEOPLE !!!

Let’s hope this new coach appreciates players that have the self discipline to not pick up cards or get sent off. Not the end of the world if he had scored and improved Sanchez may have saved it. Now the match is ruined from our perspective. I’d stop it over night - red card 50k quid fine yellow 10 K fine that would stamp it out !

We all know the long or short term outcome of this appointment - a new Clearfake Manager # 7. Lets hope they have figured out the EPL by then and appoint an elite coach 🤣

Calum in the dugout again at the Cottage on Weds Out of respect for Strasbourg 🤣 LR in for FA Cup visit to the Valley (is that still Charltons gaff?)

They are doing a double interview tomorrow in London one with Rosenoir and one with his Stradbourg replacement according to Sky’s man who knows all Potter lasted a few months and was uncomfortabley out of his depth , even had a makeover courtesy of the club this geez has a bit more about him but the appointment doesn’t make sense?

Focusing on the match thought Calum did alright , got a point where Poch and Maresca lost.

Very good performance under exceptionally challenging circumstances Takeaways Nearly held the first at nil nil Caicedo was not missed Calum the interim should be the permanent mamager or at least assistant to LR That was a the best 2nd half performance in weeks - bc Marescas tactics were absent That’s a good point away at the Etihad considering they’re unbeaten in weeks Most of us on here should stick to our day jobs as nearly all got the pre match prediction part very wrong Carefree again in the non stop Californian 🌧️!!

Executed whomevers game plan very well (drop deep into 2 defensive lines play for a 0-0 with the long shot of a breakaway goal then defend , defend , defend ) until they scored. Playing the 2nd half in the same fashion will invite them on and they will likely profit more. I’d take 1-0 right now !

As Maresca is gone and Calum is the fall guy who will the forum dig out today when it starts going Bristols up ?

Looks like whomever picked the team is A) Flying the white flag before KO B) Is the same committee responsible for influencing Maresca as this is suspiciously similar to what he would of done today C) Putting a few players in the shop window to try and move on this month and not caring about the outcome Either way be a farkin miracle to leave with a single point and avoid a 🏏 score leathering!

It will be interesting to see how the team lines up today and the tactics employed. The interim Calum McFarlane is just there for the media so the Clearfake ‘wise men’ the 3 owners and 5 Sporting Directors would have basically made all of the 1st team match day decisions and young Calum is just their mouthpiece on the touch line and in the pre and post pressers. LR is far less experienced than Maresca even so I would imagine he’ll be very malleable and they’ll influence his match day decisions more than any first team coach to date. It’s a win win for Egbhali if LR drags the club down the league with poor performances and there’s no Europe next year they can bin him after the season review and bring in another coach and keep us lot happy. If he gets the club into Europe by some miracle the gamble will have paid off and us lot will be happy, very if it’s UCL not so if it’s the Conf League .

At the Etihad. No Caicedo. Team is Rudderless, Marescas back room staff remain in place is my understanding but some mate of a SD did the presser, why watch ? and will be in the dugout as interim just to keep it warm for LR. So can we expect inverted full backs, out of position Reece, same tactics? The chances of a positive outcome are slim considering City’s current streak…..let’s see what 🥶 the other players can come up with !

The EPL is the most competitive and challenging on the 🌍 LR is a safe cash free option for owners whose only concern ⚽️ wise is to avoid relegation a pesky inconvenience that 🇺🇸 money ball does not allow here in the United Nazi States of America. I’ll get behind him if he comes but the odds for him to succeed without any relevant experience are long and one doesn’t need a 🔮 to know the eventual outcome. The Premier league is unforgiving and he has nothing to offer at this level. Some apologists on here will no doubt back & stand up for him despite results, make excuses but most of us will be waiting for him to mess things up further and then the 🔪 will be out on here again. What’s next from Clearfake ? change our name from Chelsea FC to CFC LDN ? It’s in the post no doubt

Can’t believe anybody on here is seriously considering Rosenoir as a viable option for manager of Chelsea FC a team that’s won it all. Oh my how this mighty club has fallen, farkin joke the owners. Maresca was an unlikeable character and his tactics blew but to pin most of the culpability on the dreadful match day performances on him is farcical. This club is being driven in a non football direction to make some more 💰 for greedy barstools like Egbhali & Boehly and the hedge fund they represent. Meanwhile still some fans who delusionally believe the club is being run / set up like Arse, City or Dippers to challenge for and win EPL titles and UCLs. Time will prove me correct I’m certain.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to All Posters !! These are screenshots from aunty beeb coverage of his resignation Seems as though are hunches were correct the owners do want a say on game day line ups , subs etc can’t blame Maresca for walking. Still I for one am not sorry to see him depart, however it does appear to be an ‘out of the 🍳 into the 🔥’ situation currently. Never a dull moment following the Mighty Blues.

Could all be paper talk ? No 💨 without 🔥 💭 dry ice ! Resonoir fits their profile unfortunately.

Let’s get one thing straight City have zero interest in him. It’s a made up / click bait story with no merit in fact. Research it.

Sanchez is the only improved player under Maresca, I doubt he has little to do with the goalkeeping coaching team and he was so bad prior seasons the only direction he could go was to improve. Also think Maresca realized playing out from back all the time bc Pep does it ain’t such a good idea if you don’t have the players for it. He’s a blagger basically bullsh*tted the ⚽️ ignorant owners who binned Poch in favor of him. Problem is if and when he does go don’t expect the owners to make it right as they’ll hire the next chap who agrees with their folly of a project. No respite until they sell up and leave for billions in profit which sadly may not be in my lifetime. 1/2 century of going to the Bridge next year for me !

We’ll drop out of the top 4 lose semi to Gooners miss out on CL KO rounds, out of FA cup and his bald brow will still stink out our dug out and training complex come May. If all that occurs then and only then will he leave if we are lucky that is because our old benefactor Lady Luck left the Bridge when Roman did.

Delap proving why City got it right this time !

Maresca is being enabled by somebody above his pay grade. The only reason to keep a manager that stinks the gaff out like he does week in week out is for non ⚽️ reasons. We know Clearfake ain’t short of a few bob so one has to ask why does he stay ? Well if he’s a man that salutes when requested, entertains stupidity from the owners and their just as incompetent sporting directors and puts lots of the players in the shop window as much as possible then he’s probably their man. They binned TT and Poch the only 2 experienced enough managers for this job because let’s be realistic they knew better and wouldn’t cooperate in their 2 bob project.
