Head of global goalkeeping (centre bloke)? HEAD OF GLOBAL GOALKEEPING ?! I'm just staring at these words and don't even know where to begin.

Where's the Head of Global Set Piss Taking gone ?

He's just a bog standard "Technical Analyst" now LOL.

We've had various managers under BlueCo now..

It's great for them when we fans focus on the inadequacies of each manager when things inevitably don't work out, but the real problem is the ownership's project, the ownership's transfer policies, the ownership's spending, the constant player churn every season. .

I suppose I'm trying to say, blame the fecking owners!!

Never going to happen while these clowns 🤡 run the club. I have said it multiple times there is zero chance any world class manager touches us.

I makes sense why they keep hiring these low-profile managers because they are the only ones willing to put up with the rules Clearlake had. No manager on Pep's level will put up with what Clearlake are doing

The players just will never respect Rosenior, no matter what a lot of us thought of Maresca he was very popular with the players and always spoke highly of him tactically, until we get someone that can command respect or is tactically astute we’re going nowhere.

I predict he will be gone by summer if he doesn't get Champions League. As much as people like to flame BlueCo for being only money-driven, getting to the Champions League is the only way to make money and maintain top sponsors, so they at least have a standard of reaching the top 4.

Who will replace him, though, is another mystery since this so-called project has no long-term goal and is in name only. They started this project with Potter, then decided to go with a more high-profile name like Poch. Once they knew they couldn't control Poch, they started with these low-profile managers like Mareca and Rosenior, whom they assumed would be yes-men, since a dog doesn't bite the hand that feeds him. However, just like they did the 180 with Potter, if Rosenior tanks the season, they might try to look for someone high-profile again to save face amid mounting pressure and fan protests. However, I don't know which top manager would like to come into this cesspool at the moment.

Never-boring times as a Chelsea fan, unfortunately!

Large queue of managers this summer.

But pointless for us though.

Carrick is showing how keeping it simple is effective. Play players in their correct and comfortable position and you get results.

We on the other hand seems to love hiring managers who wants to over complicate the simple game

My top choice (under the Blueco restraints) would be Fabregas.

I mean if we’re in a position to look at new managers this summer, that would mean we failed to finish top 4.

With that in consideration, at least Fabregas would get a season to bed in, win the conference league or Europa league at the very minimum, and then we can raise our expectations for the following season.

If Fabregas can translate just 10% of his creativity into managerial career, he’ll do well.

He also was part of the old Chelsea we all knew, so he can try to bring the winning at all costs culture back.

If Rosenior is gone in the summer, and it is possible by their own criteria when publicly stating how critical they view qualification for the Champions League, then I think it may well be Filipe Luis if he isn't sorted by then

Would be an interesting choice, and he is probably not as damned by his association to the Roman era as Cesc Fabregas, but even as someone looking for his first management job in Europe, I don't think Felipe Luis would accept the restrictions and interference imposed by BlueCo and the SDs on our "head coach" job.

Even less experienced than Rosenoir. Doing nicely at Como, now the richest club in Italian football.

I really hope we get a good run under Rosenior, I hope he does well with us until the summer... But would be delighted if we can land Fabregas in the off season and a DOF who can work with him and get rid of the clowns in charge of this side of football things at the club

That is never going to happen. And Fabregas has even less experience than LR.

Cesc is a co-owner of Como as well. Don’t think he’s leaving anytime soon.

I can dream... Better to dream of the bright stella future we have under the scum ownership than watch football being played on the abyss the club is sinking into. We're becoming Arsenal under last years of Wenger, United after Red nose, perennial underperforming bottlers spurs. We could be spurs fighting relegation next season. We could become SPURS.... a failing, underachieving, sh*tty little c**ty football club with a history of blocked drains and sewage overspill you need to pay thousands to dyno rod to clean out.

I'm going to watch spurs today and bet against them as I would get more pleasure watching them get relegated and trying to flush themselves out of the Premier League than see KDH score the winner in an abstract performance. Perhaps we'll bounce back but given the lack of a spine in most if not all of our players to fight for the badge, I think we've lost this already.

And I dont really care anymore anbout experience. If a person is good they command respect - Fabregas will have the respect of the top players in our squad, Dont think Liam will do.

Spot on. The majority owners are the multi-billionaire Hartono brothers (well, one of them, the other died recently) rendering them Italy's richest club. Another decent reason to stay.

He came unstuck at Middlesborough after a solid season or two. He's a sensible fella. Whether that's good enough in the longer term is another matter.

Frank Lampard is a good coach. Maybe we need to mess his life up again.

United have invested close to a billion into this squad. Another 200M on top of that last summer. They have no European matches and were out from both Cups very early. They are probably the only big European club to have the luxury of playing one game a week for most of the season and still are sweating for a UCL place until the last rounds...

If anything, this is embarrassing, really. They should comfortably be 9-10 points clear from the 6th place. Easily.

They would be if not for Amorim.

Even without Amorim they could not beat Burnley or Bournemouth and got some other incredibly lucky wins or draws against Fulham and West Ham. And against Everton they would have conceded 10 if not for that miracle night of their GK. Even against Palace who are dog sh*te this season, if not for that red card, which was a complete joke by the way, they would have drawn that game at best.

Give Liverpool or Chelsea the same schedule and they'd be up there with City for the 2nd.

Might well do next season but he’s doing what is asked of him now. Stabilised the team and started to get results

The first few wins were hangovers from Maresca. As soon as this fraud has got the team to play his way, we’re all over the place tactically. Never seen anything this bad.
