It's a good time for him to go. Winning trophies inevitably raises some expectations. The Chelsea lads on here are sound so I think they know it will be 3rd at best next year but they'll probably be some in the fanbase who think they should step up and finish above Liverpool next year.So after all the feck Sarriball and Sarri out he got 3rd place, EL+LC final. Not bad at all. There's reason I defended him when they hit the rough patch because you could see what style he was trying to implement. He's good coach and should be given more time but it seems he'll be off to Juve.
Really hard job to do. They need to focus on youth to do well next season.Who will want to replace him with the transfer ban and no Hazard?
Anyone who wants to earn £8 million per year. So pretty much every manager in the world apart from about 6 people.Who will want to replace him with the transfer ban and no Hazard?
Yeah the result have been fairly good overall. I think the 4-0 against Bournemouth and being totally smashed by City in the league turned many against them when the had a poor period.Also reaching the League cup final. They've done well in all competitions, except the FA cup when we knocked them out.
With Hazard and Sarri going though, I'm very interested to see how they handle it next season.
Moyes is free?Who will want to replace him with the transfer ban and no Hazard?
Their away form in the league from January 1st was abysmal, won fewer games than Arsenal actually did which is pretty incredible.Yeah the result have been fairly good overall.

Although they ended the season well in the end with the europa league win.
In the league though they didn't really play well near the end. Only got that point against us due to a De Gea howler.
Chelsea always seem to pull through shitty looking situations.
Transfer ban looming while looking at 6th- finish third & win the Europa
Crap season where they finish 5th- beat the 2nd place team in the FA Cup final
Finish 10th looking like a laughing stock- win the league the following season
Finish 6th- beat the previous and next seasons winners to win the Champions League
It's always been idiotic. Was he significantly worse 24 hrs ago?I'm glad the 'never won a trophy' argument has been well and truly put to rest. Now for Poch.
, it's a simple game, isn't it? It's the fans that make it rocket science.Anyone who wants to earn £8 million per year. So pretty much every manager in the world apart from about 6 people.
Managers aren't slaves that can be transferred like meatIf Chelsea get transferred ban, can they sign a manager that's with another club?
We should check that with "winning mentality" guys.It's always been idiotic. Was he significantly worse 24 hrs ago?
The same is gonna happen to Poch.All the talk about he didn't win anything, finally he managed club where there was lot of potential to win trophies and he won. Maybe he has "winning mentality" now.
Lethal finishing and jelly baby Arsenal. The game could have gone either way. You deserved it in the end, but if Arsenal had been more clinical or won the penalty early on then things could have been very different.Very strange season. When you think we got well beaten at the Emirates and scraped a win at home. Never saw us winning 4 1.
Sarri leaving probably, but could barely have acheived more.
Credit to Abramovich, somehow we're always in the mix to win things.
Agreed with you. He got a lot of stick and he seems a fairly humble gentleman.Strangely, I'm happy for him.

Well of course, without Hazard we would not have made top6 this season. There are huge question marks about Chelsea next season. Even if we can buy players in the summer, we could finish next season in 8th place or so.That 3rd place could have b...
But without Hazard I smell struggle.
Meh, I'd say reaching the CL final is a greater accomplishment than winning the EL. So just because one is rewarded with a trophy doesn't mean much one way or another for me.I'm glad the 'never won a trophy' argument has been well and truly put to rest. Now for Poch.
It wouldn't be too bad though if Poch lifts a trophy soon, so we can hear the end of that stupid argument.Meh, I'd say reaching the CL final is a greater accomplishment than winning the EL. So just because one is rewarded with a trophy doesn't mean much one way or another for me.
edit: I'm happy we don't have to listen to those arguments though, he is clearly a great manager.
Musonda has been out injured for the past year and is only recently back in training. He'll leave or go on loan again. He posted this a few weeks ago...So Chelsea fans, what's happened to the likes of Musonda, Mount etc?
