Crazy, you all had a great later season run. Amazed he's gone.
Pochettino | Leaves Chelsea by mutual consent
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
But we AREN’T supposed to be a club seeking instant success: hence why a bulk of our money was spent on future potential. They sold people on a seven year plan, not seven oddly different one year plans
I feel the opposite honestly. The Chelsea data looks pretty good this season - the results haven't been up to scruff due to some bad luck.
De Zerbi noise from earlier about secret deal now makes sense…..
Seems like he was just starting to turn them around as well. I thought they’d keep him.
It’s a fecking madhouse out there. He was really bringing some cohesion to that ugly salad of a squad together since January.
Yes they must or should have.
Their form over the last part of the season was good going up from 11th to 6th.
My grandson is a Chelsea fan and he is in shock like someone else has said.
Its hard to see who they could bring in that would be significantly more likely to succeed than Poch next season.
Champions league football for next season would have been the minimal target of "success" hence why Poch got his hand shake and Todd Boehly in now seeking what he believes will be upgrade/replacement.
If you look at how they played all season, it's madness. Played great football for the most part and was just young players lacking composure in front of goal until it clicked in the last few games.
If we played like Chelsea did this season and had still finished 8th I'd be more inclined to keep Ten Hag. The way we play is the bigger problem because it's not sustainable.
I'd be excited to see what he could do with our young squad.

I would have been shell shocked if Chelsea finished in the top four this season.
Are we sure there is any strategy?
Boehly seems like a complete moron, when it comes to football.
I'm absolutely shocked by the one. Their form in the last part of the season had been very good. It's the first time in years they've not been laughing stocks and NOW they pull the trigger?
How bizarre.
How bizarre.
I think that would end terribly as well, but it could happen.
Kinda expect you to end up with Southgate.
Wishful thinking.

If this happened a month-6 weeks earlier I think people would've responded differently.
They've been doing well, strange timing indeed.
Tuchel would go right down for me if he goes back there. Mess of a club.
Thats so perfect for them.I hope it's not McKenna.
It's going to be De Zerbi, isn't it?
ETH. Oh wait….
Really surprised by this, they had just seemed to finally click
I fecking hope not.
1. Boehly isn’t in charge.
2. yes, I know there is a plan because it is very similar to the 7 year plan they had for the Dodgers … BUT … Boehly was the primary decision maker there. They only switched managers once in their building period.
The plan relies on stability; especially for talent development. Now, maybe they are hoping that stability comes from internal structure? Idk. It may have something to do with the fact that where you finish determines what you can spend. But they need to learn to live with that, or this won’t work.
No it doesn't.

How many Champions League wins does the Vatican have though?
Pochettino is about the process and not the result. He needs a club with a similar mantra.

Yeah I’m just doomposting.
To be fair popes tend to serve for life.
Glad they're doing this. Would be ridiculous to ignore an entire season's worth of incompetence on the basis of 5 matches at the end of the year (2 of which were barely won).
Reportedly Poch's fitness schedule had our players training with the most intensity the day before matches - if true then he's even dumber than I thought and is absolutely complicit in our unprecedented injury list. Beyond that, the fact that our colossal game-changing tactical tweak was literally just doing what Pep did a decade ago with Lahm when forced by injuries is ridiculous. I for one would welcome a manager who is aware of the fact that you can have more than 2 players in midfield at the same time.

And that life is usually short as they’re appointed as 70-year olds.
Shit, you beat me there.
That is true.
Here goes the pochettino rumours to us then… so many top clubs after new managers this summer.
Probably quite a lot indirectly through their investments to be fair. The Pope has more CLs than you.
Florentino Perez was like this once. Thank god he matured.
What a bizar decision.
What a bizar decision.
I would say so, looks like they’ve made the move with Pochettino because there’s better options
