Why would we let him go for nothing? Surely it's a logical conclusion that Juve would have to buy him out of his contract. He can't stay now he's effectively given two fingers to the supporters, Jumping ship at the first opportunity (was he homesick when he did his banking job in London prior?)

He's going to insult the Napoli fans and he's already shown precious little consideration for the fans here that wanted him to stay. What a total farce.

In taking the job, he possibly remembered his time in London but was younger then and had different circumstances family wise . I wouldn't underestimate his feeling of wanting to be closer to his elderly parents in their latter years, which can lead to the feeling of being homesick. No amount of money can replace the yearning to return home.

Been reported by a few media that he might stay now if he is offered an improved contract.

Would the club want him to stay though? And would you trust him? Juve are a bit ridiculous for wanting him on a free. 

Worst part of being a football fan is how 95% of what is reported is bullsh*t. 

Who knows. Maybe the board wanted to sack him but make it seem amicable. Maybe the board has since read the forums and realised they might be making a mistake. 

Maybe Sarri has been busy getting the Chelsea badge tattooed on his chest and Reece James on his back.

Maybe Sarri is considering returning to banking, he's just spent the year in London brushing up on his old contacts in the city. 

Who the f**k knows. Can't wait for the start of the season so we can stop speculating on sh*t and watch football again.

How is this Sarri's fault though? He wanted the club to back him publicly when we went through that rough patch and they didn't. Instead he was hearing the journalists come out and keep asking about him being sacked or the papers saying he risked being fired. 

He asked them in the meeting a fee days ago to support him (not in the transfer market) but publicly in the media, but they have refused. He also wanted them to believe in his philosophy. I don't see that is much to ask for. 

The whole point of hiring Sarri was to change the philosophy from a pragmatic, defensive system to a more offensive one. The problem is, these type of changes were always going to take time and patience. If the board can't afford the patience to change style and identity then there will be no consistency. 

 

Seriously, I don't know if this post is intended as a joke. If it is, congratulations, it's very funny, if it's not, then, I don't know what to say, maybe you're sleep-deprived and that explains it.

 

First of all, a vote of confidence from the board is meaningless, as we've seen countless times before. He wasn't sacked, whereas previously under Roman he would have been, given the poor run of form we went through. I really don't see how he (or you) can complain about the board. That's ridiculous, if you don't mind my saying. If you're sleep-deprived I guess that makes it more understandable. 

 

Secondly, were you at this meeting? If so, have you got pictures to prove it? If not, what are you talking about? Even if this meeting took place, how do we know what was said in it? It's all fantasy on your part but if you're sleep-deprived I guess we can give you a pass.

 

So, you want the board to support him publicly and you want them to believe in his philosophy. Let me remind you, in case you're sleep-deprived, that he wants to go back to Italy, he's not committed, he's had a better offer as far as he's concerned and he's homesick, so why you want to lay the blame for all this at the board is anyone's guess, but if you're sleep-deprived I guess that makes it more understandable.

 

This is the board that sanctioned big money on players that he wanted. He's been fully backed if you ask me.

 

You implore the board to show time and patience but it appears the person with no time or patience is Sarri, the person of whom you're so beloved. This has nothing to do with the board and everything to do with him. I'm not having a go at him, as you seem to infer, I'm just saying it as it is. He's done what a million people would do in his situation. He's got a more desirable offer and he's going. That's it. Stop trying to paint this as something it's not, or maybe get some sleep and come to your senses.

 

A good night's sleep and you'll be right as rain, I promise you.

Make Juve pay for Sarri & no we don't wan't Higuain as compensation

I'm pretty sure we didn't want to pay Napoli the £8 million for him either. But we wanted him, so we did. Same should be true for Juve, especially since Sarri has a current contract with us.

Klopp was one of the biggest names when they signed him. He assembled a very good Dortmund side,

He did not assemble that side, Dortmund has one of the best scouting networks around, it existed long before Klopp arrived and continues without him.

Doesn't make sense makes me think Sarri isn't the real traget and they have someone else. £5.5 million isn't alot for a manager you want.

funny that you posted this - these rumors came out on ESPN FC yesterday

 

Fabio Paratici confirms that Juventus are in no hurry to choose the new coach. Between dreams & candidates, there are 3 names on his list & there is always Mauricio Pochettino among those contacted. [@NicoSchira]

notice that ESPN FC had Fabio Paratici name presented incorrectly?

Your not being serious you can't be. No board cares about the fans they pay lip service at best and when weighing up Sarri's future they won't for a minute consider the fans. Just imagine Marina, Buck, Tenenbaum all sitting round scouring all the Chelsea forums and then saying well it's 50-50 on the Shed, CFC net want him out and so do Talk Chelsea so the fans have spoken lets get rid.

Good way to ruin our Pre-season dragging these things out...sometimes I feel we have to few people handling these deals. It should be phone calls, e-mails or whatsapp-messages.

And yet they haven't won the league for nearly a decade before Klopp did in 2011 and 2012 and haven't won since. Scouting network is important to building a side, but it's the manager who puts a team together, trains and motivates the players.

THIS and more so... the press have speculated about Sarri so much this season and the negativity surrounding the reporting has been crazy, especially when compared to the reporting about Emri (sp) who Sarri has massively outperformed and was in a similar situation to at the start. 

As a club we attract so many of these types of rumours because people like to hear we are in turmoil (again) 

Sarri says "yes I miss Italy" and all of a sudden he is off Juve try to capitalise and stir sh*t up. 

They write it because we read it.

oh absolutely... my feeling is we became a bit of a target as we are the first club in the modern era to get a super rich sugar daddy who could just blow away the market and assemble a team, so we attracted the comments as we displaced the established order... City by comparison have had it easy, they went through many managers during their emergence as a financial super power and spent millions (just as we did) and yes they got Pep who looks to stabilize things but the reporting about them is far more positive. 

Maybe other teams have learnt from our mistakes in dealing with the press/PR and even though we are better now we still get the same targeting... 

But all of the above makes us newsworthy/ clickbait, so the rumours keep on coming and the sleight of hand reporting out of context serves this purpose

I'm starting to wonder if Sarri made his intentions of leaving known to the club near the beginning of the year. 

We had an awful spell of results and performances at the start of the year with the heft loses to Bounemouth and City. 

But then out of nowhere suddenly RLC and CHO start getting regular minutes in the league... We all thought the penny had dropped with Sarri but what if it was something else? What if he told the board he was intending on walking but was then asked if between then and the end of the season he plays those two seeing as it's what the fans kept being so vocal about on match days? 

Unlikely I know but who doesn't like a good conspiracy theory?

Some good points. I don’t know of much venom directed towards City then again up North there’s no doubt a few people had their nose put out of joint - akin to Arsenal fans down here when the new order became apparent.

Off topic but Ive seen very few City shirts in London since their successes. Twenty years back all the glory hunters gravitated towards Man Utd, and before them Liverpool, but they don’t seem to have attracted new “ fans” in the same way.

There were a tonne of anti pep comments in his first year from the media. Their board just ignored them and there was no indication at all he would be sacked. 

People think too much of themselves and media uses that to sell their platform. If 50 fans boo Sarri or call his head it should have absolutely zero effect on Sarri's job security. He had goals for the term which is known by the club and Sarri. 

I can't see the board calling Sarri to the office and saying: "Maurizio the season was a success in the end. You checked all the boxes and we are back in the CL. You did great.... However there were 4 games in the season where some fans booed you. In all honesty we can't have that...however you can stay as a Chelsea coach if you change your personality and start communicating with the fans. Talk with them, do a little kneeslide after we score. Is that clear? "

Simone Inzaghi, who was rumoured to also be in running for the Juventus job has signed a contract extension with Lazio. 

Safe to say I think Sarri is the favourite for the job.

Go and drink some more coffee, a lot of it.

If there really is nothing to these rumours, someone at the club should give a  brief statement saying Sarri will be at Chelssea next season. They gave one a while ago when there was talk about the Bridge being rebuuilt for ?500 million, so the fact that they're saying nothing aboug Sarri makes it likely he is leaving one way or another.

They usually don't say much. However I think if Sarri was saying they would have confirmed it. 

What about this Eric Ten Hag fellow from Ajax? He'll lose all his key players in the summer and I'm sure Chelsea job could be tempting for someone like him. If Sarri is in fact leaving, wouldn't it be logical to try and pry him away? His footballing style is similar to Sarri's and it would make sense to continue building the team with the same tactical approach instead of dismissing the progress we've made and starting from scratch with a totally different vision.

Plus, I genuinely don't think Lamps is ready yet.

yes -- if we are able to get somebody like Ten Hag in he can help promote our promising youth while not having the pressure to perform. We can also assess if they're ready for the big step up or should be sold, whilst also allowing him to get used to the style of the PL. Very promising manager.
