And also because he has zero to do with player contracts.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
His little bro, George. He won the U17 world cup with England last year.
When I look at Chelsea's attacking set of players I feel they should be above Spurs. Spurs have Eriksen and Kane who are quality but outside that? Alli who is young and can go missing in games as young players do, and Son who is not rated in the same league as the Hazard, Willian's of the world.
Im curious would you take Hazard or Eriksen?

But that’s the thing. For Eriksen there is hazard. Who else is there? Morata isn’t at Kane’s level. Then you have Willian who is good but so is Son who has been very good for spurs. Then who else does Chelsea have? Fabregas and Pedro aren’t particularly great when compared to Alli. They also have dembele in addition
Shedend can't wait to see the back of him.
Remember that time I started a Conte sack thread and it was closed because it was daft?
Same with players? Lets face it, this team just downs tools when it doesnt fancy it, no matter the manager.
I wouldn’t worry about reputation. Aside from Hazard, at least when he can be arsed, Son is as good as anything Chelsea have.
Their next manager needs to ship out some of the players that have played for both Mou and Conte. Seems like some of them just down tools when they feel like it.
Can you start Pep sack thread now?
What a daft idea.
I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that they won't win the league this season.
This thread went quiet quickly i see.
I think we can give Morata a pass this season as he's playing in a new league where as Lukaku has been playing here years but yeah Lukaku has been good for us this season.
Yeah you sure showed us today, winning away at 18th placed Southampton.
Im assuming with that comment you beat them easily twice? Especially at home!!!
Gloating after a win at Southampton? Times have been tough at Stamford Bridge this season.
There's no point going tit for tat over results when you're 11 points behind us having played a game more.
My lord there are some shit rival fans on these boards these days, and this fella Dan looks the latest in a long line.
This guy, jamie l and dumbstar are probably the 3 worst on this forum (dont actually think glaston is that bad to be honest). The way they just post stuff to troll people be a wum is absolutely disgraceful. We should be grateful to have opposition posters like santi_mesut_Alexis (unfortunate to be a new member only) and duffer posting on this forum who actually have good points and get them across well.
Back to chelsea though, they may have had a good comeback last night but I still don’t think they’re any good (with the exception of hazard, kante etc etc obviously). Southampton actually had a couple more shots on target last night and only bad defending and nerves from conceding the first goal lost them the game. Conte will be sacked at the end of the season though, and knowing this bunch of horrible, traitorous players, they’ll probably be challenging for the title again next season under a different manager and suddenly turn into a europa league to mid-table level side the following season though, and rinse and repeat.

Would start with Hazard. What's the point of all that talent if you only turn it on when you fancy it.
Alonso is banned for 3 games for his tackle on Shane Long
Bet these feckers barely beat Southampton but then turn into Chelsea 2004 in the final.
Is there a possibility that you've posted this in the wrong thread?
Unless of course Klopp and Wilson are moving to Chelsea!
They need a minor miracle for top 4.
Win their game in hand and it's 5 points with three to go including Liverpool.
They could miss out on GD.

Yep, that would really suck, I'd almost rather lose out by a point or two. Overall it seems like too much of a mountain to climb to be honest, but hey I'd rather have a little glimpse of hope on the horizon than none at all. That said I'm fully expecting Salah to score the winner against us just to rub it in...
Playing Barca in the UEFA Youth Final.
Their success at youth level in the last 8 years is simply remarkable.
Barca won 3-0
Poor Morata.
Brutal.
But he is factually wrong. It's 13 and Morata has good minutes per goal rate they say
Bullet dodged as they say.
Any Chelsea fans still holding out hope for top 4?
Personally I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility. Of the 3 teams still in contention - Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea - the latter are clearly in the best form. Liverpool's attention appears to have diverted itself towards a more pressing priority (the CL) and with Spurs being, well, Spurs, I'd quite fancy my chances were I a Chelseas fan.

Nah, it's too late. If we had a few more games this season we might have done it, but we are relying on Brighton getting a results at Liverpool (and that's assuming we beat them ourselves) or Spurs only winning 1 game in 4, would be a spectacular bottle job by one or the other if we get let in now.
Oh well, with the new era of the TV deals the financial pressure for top 4 isn't half as bad as it use to be, furthermore Kante, Zlatan, Pogba, Luiz, Lacazette and Auba in the last two years show you can still attract the player's even without CL.
Only in the same way that I hope to find money on the street. It'd be great and it's not impossible but I don't think it will happen and won't be upset if it doesn't.
Maybe this is my determination not to morph into Arsenal playing out but i find the race for the top four thing totally boring. Ofcourse i'd rather be in it than not but i don't have the constant worry, panic and ultimately joy or devastation that title and relegation battles have sent me to in the past, the only exception was 2003 for obvious reasons but aside from that, meh ...
I was the same in 2016 when we missed out
It stings when they do the Champions League draw the season after though.
