They always say 'by mutual consent', just saves face for the person getting sacked !!

Fekkin bullsh*t total clowns

Get out of our club Boehly, you lowlife scumbag!

Always felt like the SD’s never really had much faith in Poch  

This is hugely dangerous, he had the players on side.

I absolutely do NOT want Tuchel or De Zerbi.

What if it takes another 9 months for the next guy to figure out a good system? Another season down the drain.

We should hire someone that already has a good tactical system in place, like De Zerbi. They play 4-2-3-1 as well, so it wouldn't be a huge transition. Not to mention he's coached Caicedo and Colwill before.

 

Though now I'm hearing names like Maresca and McKenna, I'm not confident at all

I don't even think its him.

Egbahli is the one calling the shots.

I'm aware mate, but all signs in my opinion point to it generally being mutual. I think the club perhaps would have continued and Pochettino also if they had come to an agreement. Its possible they didn't want to extend his contract and would have had to look for a new coach after next season anyway. 

I assume Pochettino wants a more regular and stable job, both in terms of having a say in recruitment and also how long he's in the job. This is all guess work but at this point I'm sure all the factors public and private indicate a failure to agree.

The club think they can just find the next Xabi Alonso it's so clear, they think they can sign the next Ronaldo or Messi and the next best coach in the world by looking purely at youth. 

The coach who wants experience in his squad and has experience lets just forget about that

ayo wtf

Guys, remember this is a manager who played for penalties against Liverpool youth.

That's bollocks.

He brought on Madueke and Mudryk in ET ... you don't do that to shut up shop and play for penalties. 

And stop pandering to that ridiculous "Liverpool youth" crap. We had the younger team during every minute of that match ... 

He’s Chelsea through and through.

@axman2526 hope you're not at lunch you might choke

In fairness there's a difference between prospects signed for 50-100m each and prospects making their first senior appearance

I am on lunch now actually. Been busy at work for 4 hours so what did I miss?

We have become an absolute joke of a club. I was looking forward to next season but now this? We are no better than Watford - the club is run by f**king idiots.

Guess this means we kiss goodbye to Conor and Trev. 😭

I don't agree with Poch's sacking but De Zerbi is being criminally underrated here

 

Last season Brighton were

 

4th in average possession (we're 5th)

5th in shots per game (we're 9th)

6th least shots faced per game (we're 14th)

 

All with a far, far inferior squad to what we have. He'll surprise people if he comes here.

No he won't.  Although Chelsea has been my club since 1957 and I have been a season ticket holder since 1976, I also watch BHA at the Amex a lot. He had a good season last year. He improved players. This season, apart from a good start and, ultimately,  an excellent performance in EL group stage, it's been dismal a lot of the time. The football under de Zerbi will not be as entertaining as you think. He is also a sulk.

Come back for Aubameyang and Lukaku?

I was in the Poch Out camp for a long time but from the second half at Villa Park we were showing signs of turning a corner and the players seemed to be playing for him. God only knows how this will play out - it's never dull following Chelsea

You're right.

Boehly is the one who has been publicly supportive of Poch. It's Clearlake and the sporting directors that were never convinced of him. 

I’d have loved to have been a fly on the wall for the meeting.

Poch: I want more control over transfers.

No. Can’t you see the masses of talent we’ve worked our fingers to the bone for?

We’ve provided players who will be great in 3 years and all we require you to do is finish top 4 until then whilst we provide you with as many teenage wonder kids as you can fit into the dressing room. 
 

Poch: Stick it up your hoop!

I'm a fan but I just hope he sticks with the 3-4-3 that worked at Chelsea

 

His Bayern team don't look anywhere near as good at controlling games as we were, even though they have much better players

 

We played Real of the park under Tuchel, but his Bayern team just parked the bus trying to scrape a win.

 

Ironically, Leverkusen won the league off Bayern in a possession based 3-4-3.
