Carlo didn't have to be the face of Chelsea when the owner was sanctioned. Have key players let go because contracts couldn't be agreed during sanctions. Have the likes Of Lukaku cost 100m then come out and say he doesn't want to be here.

 

TT has been instrumental in keeping this club from falling apart at the seams in recent times, and yes performances fell off but you make so many changes it doesn't work overnight.

 

I think that's what hurts the most, the club has done him and us the fans dirty with this sacking and appointment IMHO if its Potter.

 

Hope time shows I'm wrong.

Avram Grant should be given a go.

Hes still in Portsmouth somewhere

Lucky boy. 

BREAKING PART 3? Also understand #theshedend regular @Munkworth is in with a chance of the job if he does indeed relocate to #Chicago and change his name to #CM Munk.

The ironic thing is Roman would have probably given him more time (he gave Conte and Jose a lot more rope with a lot worse displays than this).

Gutted tbh but at the same time the one I would have chosen is Potter so let's see how it goes.

I think first Jose sacking has only managed to shock me more than this. Have felt drained all day.

The guy stuck by us even when it looked like we would have serious financial issues from the ownership situation, now he gets thrown under the bus 6 games into the season.

 

He should've just resigned after the whole Abramovich situation honestly, doesn't deserve this at all

.Why don't we offer the job to Antony Taylor? He always manages to take points off us whenever we meet and he plays on his own.

If it wasn't for him chances are Tuchel would still be in a job

We can't he's signed to the spuds

 

The most shocking sacking ever is Gullit. This doesn't even come close to that one. 2nd in the league and in two semi-finals at the time if I remember rightly. And boy did we play sexy football under him.

A £13M pay off will certainly make it a worthwhile use of six months of his time !

If it was me, I'd be done with football in the short term with that kind of windfall. I'd be off to the Maldives for 6 months with my new lady friend ...  🙂

£13m and not having to watch our drab attacking players put on their weekly disasterclasses?

Tuchel has pulled off a masterclass here.

Carlo was appointed for his European pedigree so with that in mind he was always going to be in trouble given he couldn't even match the efforts of the previous managers in that competition.

And he asked for Torres (Wilkins confirmed).

That honestly would have been best for both parties tbh. I feel like Boehly  should have just let him leave like everyone else at the start of the summer. The quickness with which they are contacting Potter shows that they've wanted him for awhile and just led Tuchel on.

Wasn't manage to see games back then. There was no coverage of the games back here. Was a massive fan of Gullit and the sole reason I became a blue.

We finished the 2011 season on 71 points, worse than what Tuchel got last season. We exited the FA cup in the fourth round and the league cup in the 3rd round that season, Tuchel lost both finals on penalties.  Ancelotti also had a squad containing, Cech, Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Lampard, Ivanovic, Anelka and Drogba.

 

Tuchel's sacking is undoubtedly worse in my opinion

Because the league was far more competitive at that time, we came second on that points total… Liverpool and city are lightyears ahead in the title race every single year and one or the other wins it at a canter compared to the rest. We’d also set the record for most goals scored in a season the year before if I remember correctly while winning the double.

 

Tuchel has a £100m centre forward that he apparently signed off on that he couldn’t get firing, a £70m “generational” attacker in Havertz that he couldn’t get a tune out of. He has Thiago Silva one of the best CB’s to do it. 
 

There’s mitigating factors for them all but it’s stretching it massively to say this is worse than that, but fair enough if that’s what you think.

Ancelotti took the last legs of the old guard and still finished 2nd. 

i really loved the man, not so much the football we played. There were so many terrible games but then there were a few great games that gave you hope (Juventus at home, Madrid away)

the club really didn’t handle this in a respectable way

3 of the last 4 seasons it has taken over 90 points to win the league (100 in one season). I don't think that's becuase the league suddenly declined, it's just that City and Liverpool are 2 of the best teams in Premier League history. Relative to other European teams Prem clubs are doing far better now in the CL than in 2011, which means the Prem has gotten stronger if anything.

 

Not to mention we've went from a Big 4 back then to a Big 6, along with the mid table Prem teams becoming much stronger. Truth is with or without Tuchel we aren't getting anywhere near the title, it's far harder to win the Prem today.

 

Lukaku looked good until he decided he didn't want to be here. Tuchel didn't sign Havertz who's a generational flop as far as I'm concerned. And Thiago Silva is 37. John Terry was playing for Aston Villia at that age.

 

I hope the new manager does well but I can see us really regretting the Tuchel sacking, there's very few managers out there better

New manager just been announced. Press conference at 8.00am tomorrow morning.

I was in meetings at work all day so couldn't get on here but received texts when news broke, so like you have felt drained all day. Totally numb.

Feel more detached from the club I have supported all my life than ever. Right now, I couldn't give a toss who we appoint - it's left that much of a bad taste. But times a great healer and hopefully it will be Potter and when this feeling of contempt for the club hopefully fades, we'll see what happens. 

Throwback to Rudiger's farewell message when leaving Chelsea

 

"I hope for this club that the mentality changes of sacking coaches so early when success is not there. I like to trust the process and, with this coach, you can see there is a process. Chelsea can be very proud to have a coach like this.”
