The owners plan has just been revealed.

Todd knows that the Championship play off final is the single most valuable game in the world.

Everything is being done to get the club into that final eventually.

And it's on track and all going to plan.

I personally can't wait for this one:

It's the UEFA trifecta with that one, so fingers crossed!

Only silver lining from this season if we play in that and win it. On that Mourinho level of turning a negative into a positive

We were questioning his tactics and selections in here this season and the end of the last one (I won’t forget that Arsenal game at the Bridge or the loss to Leeds away and Zagreb). So, it wasn’t only those that know zero about football and that happened to have set up a technical structure we were craving for during the last years of Romans tenure and who have managed to get a highly pursued midfielder in this winter transfer season.

 

 

Unlikely for Enrique if Potter does go, sadly Thomas Frank and a few of the other unproven coaches at this level will continue to be the leading targets.

Question yes, but to question to the point you sack him seems very over the top. We watch football and understand it a lot more than Boehly so when we are questioning TT's tactics for example I'm sure there is more of basis for critique than Boehly. A man known for his 443 ofc TT wouldn't be willing to take anything he had to say seriously. He probably snapped at him and got sacked

...and have the most luscious hair in a summer breeze.

No one can claim that us & Tuchel enjoyed a purple patch when he was sacked, and one can only guess how things would have turned out. But with their comprehensive incompetence, the owners have inadvertently knighted Tuchel. Even if Potter is being sacked, until the owners have understood what it takes for a club to compete at the highest level, he may well be the last top manager and proper Chels we have seen in a long time.

Where are all the Boehley fans now ?

" You don't get that rich if you don't know what you're doing" 

One of the many endorsements of our American investor when he took over .

Personally I hope him and the Clearlake sharks lose a packet, as long as they don't ruin the club in the process

Why wouldn't ANYONE question him after that game ?

Actually I thought we were unlucky , 3 breakaway goals .

His sacking had nothing to do with results or tactics.

The reasons are well documented .

We were dominated by a midget American called Aaronson and Jack Harrison who I have not heard of once since that game, and a scrub of an American coach as well.

One of the darkest days in recent history for Chelsea and often gets overlooked.

Tuchel and the players should have been ashamed for their performance that day.

Of course it was embarrassing, don't recall Tuchel said along the line of boys gave it all. How many more embarrassing results have we encountered in the last 6 months, or since start of 2023? Tuchel was not faultless in his era and particularly the last 6 months, but he'd long sacked himself before he got into mid table.

We were questioning him to the point of sacking him, yes. There was a kind of poll to see if people wanted him sacked or not, and many were willing to give him until the WC to turn things around, but not many were contemplating givin Tuchel until the end of the season if things continued like that. Leeds was embarrassing, Zagreb too, and not many believed we were going to get through the classification stage of the CL. It was that bad towards the end. And this has nothing to do with wanting Potter or not.

As I said, if you bothered to read what I wrote, it has nothing to do with what I think about Potter. And yes, I think the results and performances are really bad. But let’s not pretend everything was Rosie under Tuchel this season because it wasn’t.

True, but it's nowhere near as bad as it is now and I don't believe Tuchel would ever allow it to get that bad.

It looks to me like Boehly considers CFC "his project" and wants to be in charge of the sporting aspects as well. For that he needs a yes-man as manager. Problem is, no top manager is or will ever be a yes-man, at least there is not a single one that comes to my mind. This is the reason Enrique is "not a fit".

Long story short, we're f**ked. Long term. It will only get worse as long as Todd thinks he can win trophies because he's watched Brad Pitt in Moneyball.

Todd and Clearlake consider Chelsea as an  investment first.

Maybe a bit of a project or hobby for Todd, but ultimately that lot want a return on their investment.

Todd came in and bowled around Europe with no football knowledge and thought he could win hardened football directors around  over a few beers.

Lots of delight i recall about that on here.... Mind you he is probably more gutted about how he looks as our owner than he is about the club.

Football and especially Chelsea will always bring you down to Earth! 😝😝😝

Of course it is an investment.  Can you name me any PL team that is not an investment at the moment? Roman Abramovich was an odd one out, unfortunately we were stolen of him. But, can you truly say that our lot, so far, is worse than the ManU, Arsenal, Liverpool or the Arab lot?

I agree mate.

I was replying to a poster who said Chelsea was just a project for Todd , and that Todd wanted to oversee sporting matters because he had watched Brad Pitt in a film.

I was pointing out that it's an investment , yes, like most or sll PL clubs 

Cheers take care.

You're right and what gets missed in all of hindsight now is the landscape at the time and the rhetoric about then. If Boehly came in not knowing his arse from his elbow and started questioning tactics I can understand Tuchel bristling. If Boehly had gone about things in the correct manner, verbally stated to the world that he was going to back Tuchel in a long term project, didn't waste an entire window being fcked about and mugged off by Barcelona,  and replaced the backroom before wading in to the market himself. Yes the football wouldn't have been ideal because itvwas poor then, Tuchel admitted that,, unlike the glittering entertainment we've experienced so far. Where would we be now. We'd have a solid backroom team moving for elite targets allowing our elite manager to develop a sustainable winning formula instead of us praying that this bloke stumbles upon something that can recover the ground he has lost.

As much as Boehly and his consortium poneyed up and saved the club, from that point on it has been a catalogue of embarrassingly poor decisions.

Buying the elite players and going in big for them was entertaining for a while but failure to qualify for Europe and mid table mediocrity will be a financial disaster in his first year.

I'm still yet to see anything even resembling evidence of this.

Have you got any?

Jan on football therapy has reported Todd has told around 15 players (not including Silva and Kante) who have less than 3 years left on their contracts, that they either commit their futures to the new payscale and for the long term, or they will be sold.

Some of players he mentioned to be told this as Havertz, Chilwell, Mount, Gallagher and RLC.

Apparently Milab have been in contact to offer just over 20mill for RLC and both City and Pool want to sign Mount, which would push his price up well past 40mill.
