Administrator Stan Posted September 7, 2022 Administrator Posted September 7, 2022 Didn't expect this just after the transfer window.
Administrator Stan Posted September 7, 2022 Author Administrator Posted September 7, 2022 Must be awkward for Aubameyang. One of the reasons he probably joined was because of Tuchel Mind you, this is probably how he also feels...
Danny Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Apparently Poch is a bookies favourites, can't see that happening tbh
Dave Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 It seemed inevitable at some point this season. As I said in the thread about whether Tuchel could last this season back in July, there's too many players that have underperformed and wanted to leave the club which is a reflection of his leadership. The last couple of defeats showed they weren't playing for him anymore. A great tactician that I'm sure will have success elsewhere but his shelf life at Chelsea was over.

Spike Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Makes you wonder if the new owners even wanted Tuchel and sprang at the first chance to rid of him.

Bluewolf Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Didn't expect it this quick to be honest... clearly a problem on the pitch but with all the issues surrounding the club in recent months with sanctions, transfer bans, players departing and new ones coming in I thought he might have been given some leeway to sort it out before putting him to the sword but looks like Boehlyvich has taken a leaf out of his predecessor's book... Chelsea huh! all the fun of the fair... onwards and upwards as they say..
Spike Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 ESPN’s article on the sacking is 14 hours old somehow. On google search everyone else’s statement has been published with within 40 minutes. Are they in the know and withheld access to their article? Confusing.
Bluewolf Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 I know it might take a decent pay increase but I wonder if we could get Ted Lasso in... he seems to be good for morale and he would get on well with the new owner.. shared vision and styles etc..

He's doing an average job at Leeds United already.

The original one was referencing how he could be leaving.
Tar-Mairon Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 I thought they may give him more time but they haven't been good all calendar year really and they probably feel they can't risk the rut getting worse and potentially missing out on Champions League football next season. You can't really shake the impression that he doesn't know how to manage an offensive game and that he's a real big-game manager who can out-think and nullify the best minds in the business but comes up short when he has to impose himself on a game. He'll be fine though, he'll pick up a decent job elsewhere. Poch did state that he would not go to Spurs' rivals but notably, he only mentioned Arsenal as our rivals so it depends on how he sees Chelsea. I have to admit, if he went there, it would taint what he did for us for me but he's free, he can do what he wants. I don't know how Chelsea feel about Mourinho or Conte and them coming to us but to be fair, they won things at Chelsea whereas Poch didn't with us. I'm reading that Graham Potter is the first choice though. Whether he can step up (in terms of expectation - he'll be expected to win) is an unknown but if he can, they could be scary good.
Chickasaw Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Brendan will soon be free. Might be ok in the short term.

OrangeKhrush Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 I empathise with him, those signings are not his type of players Steve Bruce will be available soon
Moderator CaaC (John) Posted September 7, 2022 Moderator Posted September 7, 2022 Bloody hell, has Roman Abramovich somehow sneaked back into the Chelsae setup
Chickasaw Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Sent off against Spurs, booked last night, behaviour might have been an issue too.
