New manager merry go round

 Right in given permission for  GP to talk, If we meet the compo clause maybe 20 million, Potter will be our new manager

 
As gutted as I am about Tuchel going, I'd be very excited to see how we do under Potter.

Then you need Hazard, Fabregas, and Costa. God himself (the made up one, not Maradona) couldn't get this out of the current crop.

You think the egos at this club want to play for Potter? They will down tools the first chance they get and the usual excuses like "Chelsea was too big for him" will come out. None of these players want to play for Potter, and he will be gone by next season if he gets the job.

Immediately, okay so maybe day 2, Aubameyang will turn up late for training.....and its on, straight away. Sad because i think that he is a creative manager that would excel with a group of players all pulling together. Not the pampered, self absorbed, over paid, under qualified sh*te we have broadly employed here for a number of years.

I believe that this guy is a proper coach and these players can't be coached, most of them are too far up themselves.

I hope that whoever does come in absolutely runs the bollox off of them. Some of them might not be fit to wear the shirt but they can at least be fit.

 
Frank was one thing being a Chelsea Legend but Potter. I'm sorry but this just strikes as Chelsea settling for mid table.

Hansi Flick or Enrique for me but no chance they leave the internationals just before the World Cup. So probably be between Potter Zidane and Poch, Potter is a big risk not experienced at the very top level, Zidane has only ever had to deal with one of the very best squads in the world and poch is spud scum which will not go down well with the fan base, complete mess all of this.

Hansi Flick is one of the very very very few managers that could be better than Tuchel to  be fair, it's a shame the the world cup is so soon

 
If Graham Potter wasn't English his name wouldn't be anywhere near the Chelsea job.

They were hardly playing for Tuchel either to be honest. Tools were getting downed faster than a Frenchman on his weekly strike 

 
If Zidane wants the job it seems to me like a slam dunk hiring.  Granted the EPL is a bit tougher than La Liga, but he kept a team full of highly priced players getting results.  He would probably be the top of my list.  The bigger question is if he's interested in the job, he hasn't really coached outside of Madrid despite a resume that would make him a coveted manager.  

Pochettio I'm kind of weary about.  Was not terribly competitive in the CL despite all of the attacking talent that money can buy.  So to me it's a big question as to if he can unite the locker room.

Potter seems to be unproven and untested.  Not sure if a guy who has done a good job with an under-dog team will be able to translate his abilities to managing a team that is stocked with heavy talent.  

 
Get f**king Bielsa in, we'll never get another chance

I mean he won't do it due to his principles (previous association with Leeds, working for an American), but we should at least try. We'll win nothing and come 8th but it'll be the most fun any of us have had since the 90s.

Poch is a Bielsa knock off anyway

To be honest I think one of the main reasons we had so many issues with player power is because they knew that the board always sided with the players, with this new ownership it might be that the players don't have that any more. This decision to get rid of Tuchel was solely down to them, if what's reported is true no players had a clue this was happening.

I also think that the modern day footballer prefers to play in a team that's 'enjoyable' to play in where they're given more freedom. Some of the managers we've had over the years have been the opposite, think Jose, Conte and Tuchel where players down tools quicker if they're told to play like robots. 
 

This is all opinion of course but we have a mainly young, talented team so bringing in a young manager with an attacking focus COULD be the answer and if given full backing by the board, both money wise and power over the players this could work out well but we'll see.

All that says to them is that if they want to get rid of the manager they just need to play poorly over a relatively short period of time and they will get their wish.

We've turned the gun on ourselves and pulled the trigger, again.

Umm hate to say it but if you have a team that collectively no longer wants to play under a certain manager than that manager should probably go.  

Players are not going to play hard if they all hate the manager.
