fast direct attacking football, rebuilt juve into a powerhouse they are right now with excellent signings like pogba vidal tevez pirlo

wouldnt mind him at all

I read his tactics are more defensive, similar to Jose Mourinho tactics when we were missing a good striker.

his juve side was very impressive and his career so far points to him being a strong manager. I don't think you could call them defensive at all.

 

a possible question mark is that he didn't do amazingly in europe and allegri, IMO a much poorer manager, immediately took them further. but I don't really think much should be read into that.

3-3-4, 3-5-2, 3-5-1-1, 4-2-4, 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-3-1-2. If true, at least won't be a dull moment with him.

Conte, Ranieri, Pochettino, so anyone as long as their name ends with a vowel.

 

Sparky? :)

Think conte would flop here tbh

So Poch gets linked with the managers job then immediately gets offered a new improved contract by the spuds. I think someone is using the Rooney technique to get himself a bumper pay increase

Or maybe Spuds panicked?

Of all the names being touted he would have been my favourite, but Spuds are on a roll with him.

I think he's a good coach, no doubt but it feels like press talk to me. Why would he leave anyway? As you say, he's doing well for them

Doing well for spurs will still means winning fxck all,outside this country hardly anyone will have heard of Tottenham hotspurs, so to enhance his career, he will need to join a a large worldwide recognizable club,so the link with us is obvious, if we really wanted him, we would get him, cost a fortune though!

Some think they're approaching another golden era. With football gaining interest from afar 'history' and non English success may be of little consequence. Watch this space as they say, I think any London club is potentially of interest beyond our shores. Marketing I guess, who'd have thought a northern team would impact the orient as it did. Interesting times.

Fair enough. Why?

More so a gut feeling than anything else. Only logic I can put behind it is his limited managerial experience being consigned to Italy, a very different league to our own.

Anyone see Mikel on tv earlier, he was professional with his chat, but some insight offered. Guus is a calming influence it seems amongst other things. Whoever it is, I really hope we get it right, it's been a tough old time of late.

Whoever it is, they better be on the same page as the rest of the staff.

The club needs stability and right now there is no one better than Guus.

I hope that Roman can persuade Guus to stay for another couple of years.

The club and us fans need to remain calm, more so now, than at any other time in all of our history, especially because of the high financial pressures of staying in the premier league (hopefully top 6) and the major financial task of redeveloping Stamford bridge.

There are rumours that Roman is considering offering an opportunity for a Chinese investment company to buy some share of CFC to help finance the massive cost of the redevelopment. But that's for another thread!

Conte is not a good manager. At Juve anybody could have dominated the league at that point, Milan, Inter, Napoli and Roma were all sh*te and having watched nearly every game Italy have played under him he's made us worse. Slow, dreary, one dimensional football.

 

All in all the man is a poor man's version of Jose Mourinho who we have just sacked, if Roman wants good football then he is very much barking up the wrong tree. Of course I'd be 100% behind him if he was appointed, but I'd be very disappointed.

So it's definitely not Guardiola. Formal announcement today he's going to City.

Yep, guardiola to city, who will give him unlimited funds to

Strengthen,while we are in complete freefall with seemingly pennies to spend and probably a second rate manager coming in, biggest mismanagement by the board i have ever seen

The more I think about it the more Pochettino would be a great manager for us at this moment in time. Getting him from Spurs though, probably an impossible task.

Ponchettino publicly committed his future to Tottenham a few days ago.

Who would want to come here ? A famously trigger happy board, no CL next season, no particular financial incentive as the new T.V. deal has made our league more financially competitive except where City are concerned as they seem more than happy to outspend all and sundry. Not that I'm complaining about that as we did it for long enough.

 

It's really difficult to see which direction we are taking at the moment. As 2 and a half seasons seems to be the limit we keep a manager for I wonder if someone like Hughes or Pardew might be worth a punt. They might see it as a step up and a chance to see if they can cut it at a club with very high expectations.

 

I just don't see a manager from the "top tier" wanting to come to Chelsea at the moment, being out of Europe next Year might be a good chance to take a new direction and a more down to earth approach. Probably won't happen though and as long as its not Brenda I think I can cope with just about anyone the board throws at us.

Forget getting any manager like him, with the players we have on our books he wouldn't stand a chance.
