Graham Potter | turns down Ajax job

really surprised at this. i thought he’d cleared the air with his squad after inviting them into his office individually and asking them “do you like me?”
 
Feck off! I was hoping he’d cling on in there until after we’d played them. Long overdue though, I’m amazed he’s lasted this long. Can see them going for Nagelsman now.
 
Tuchel is extremely high regarded- and will probably have his second CL trophy this year.

Potter was flavor of the month only in the mediocre British context - media hyping up English coaches as world class who would never ever get a look for some of Europe's top clubs. Would Potter get a look in at PSG, BVB, Inter, Benfica, Madrid? Let's get real, there's levels to this.

If I took over Bayern, they would still have a good chance of winning the C.L - and I have never managed a u7-team :)
 
Just an awful fit.

I can see him going to Spurs and doing well, but they must have PTSD from hiring ex-Chelsea managers by now. :lol:
 
bizarre decision really. If you were going to sack him then it was time to do so based on results a while ago. Makes a mockery of what they proposed to do there.

he’s a good manager and whoever gets him next will be the better for it.
 
It's a repeat of what happened at Forest, but this time the Chairmen got rid of his own Managerial appointment less than 7 months after hiring him. Despite flooding the team with new players, knowing it would take time for the team to build up, knowing his Managerial appointment was a long term appointment then getting fed up when his long term appointment and strategy wasn't working in the short term. Amateur hour.

Pep tried three times and couldn't do it with Lewa. I doubt you'd have a good chance mate.
 
Feel sorry for him. He's a very talented manager in my opinion, and I hope he gets a chance to rebuild his reputation at another team in the league or elsewhere.
 
Reminds me a bit of Moyes at United. Came in during a time when there was a massive change at the club and has probably taken a lot of the blame for the higher ups mistakes. He likely won’t have commanded the dressing room either, a shame because you have to gamble on going to a club like Chelsea if you get the chance but in hindsight he was safer staying with Brighton.
 
Leicester City New manager, surely spurs won't want him after looking out of his depth at Chelsea.

Will laugh my ass off if Chelsea go after Brighton new manager

Spurs would actually be a likely choice considering you need to have managed Chelsea to get hired there these days. :lol:
 
Yep probably nailed on to get Nagelsman in and have a glimmer of hope of winning the champions league to get UCL next season.
The statement say to get behind the caretaker manager until the end of the season.
No chance a top manager walks into there this season
 
No surprise here, Potter like a deer in the headlights. His tenure has been a disaster.

Ultimately its on Boehly and the terrible money waste transfers as much as Potter.

He's going to be loaded :lol:

I’m not so sure. If they aren’t getting a top manager in right now (where there is zero expectation and pressure with where they are) then it makes little sense sacking Potter right now.

This is just incorrect. Yes, we have had an injury crisis and a lot of players come in but he has not and i repeat HAS NOT gotten the best out of the team. He's been given new life in new signings that has been a plus. He's already left players out of the team that he doesn't want to work with. He has the lowest win rate of any Chelsea manager. Let that sink in.
Villa brought in Emery and is performing better than us with a less talented team.
Players aren't rewarded for good performances he chops and changes tactics formations and lineup. We went on a good run with a good consistent team he changed that team up for no reason. Yesterday we had wingers at wingback and fullbacks at center back with two fit center backs on the bench.
When you break down the chance the team creates they aren't good chances you can't expect your team to score goals when the quality of the chances we create is so low. You're leading against Everton you're balling them then you decide to sit back and hang on.
You can have a project in mind and accept when the coach is not the right person to lead the project.
