I agree. I'd be tempted to give him time though, obviously this season is a bit of a write off. Couldn't happen to a nicer club!
How not to run a football club. They won the champions league 3 years ago & only looked a centre forward off of regularly challenging City & Liverpool & instead sold most of that team to build a young team with most of the squad on long term contracts & still don’t have a striker but do have massive issues with FFP in the near future
It’s a strange one. No one seems to have got a tune out of the Chelsea team. I was talking to my brother in law today about this exact thing today, is it that the Chelsea team is full of journeymen that are out for themselves or that they are have had so many different managers that they cannot adapt to the style of play? They have some great individual players, but togetherness and teamwork seems to be in short supply.
Maybe Potter wasn't as bad as they made him out to be. Bet he's having a laugh at the state they're currently in given how they treated him.
Buying very expensive individuals doesn't guarantee you a good team clearly, 1 billion flipping pounds absolutely bonkers.
I've always wondered how these super managers would do if they were given a job at a team that didn't have a pot to p155 in, not so great I'd suspect.
They could actually do with one or two journeymen. Very young team with talent but very little leadership.
I agree mate! I know they weren't the greatest anymore, but players like Kante and Azpilicueta who they got rid off, I think would have a good impact on some of these players. They look lost at the minute. Poch is a good manager with young players too, nurtures them well. Something seriously wrong at that club at the minute!!
Find it quite amusing tbh, another club where someone with very little knowledge of the game wants to play with his new toy, cleared out all the experienced people behind the scenes and got himself involved in recruitment. Poch doesn't know his best 11 or formation square pegs in round holes, a 39 year old CB who needs to call it in, they are half a dozen points of being in the zone where teams get sucked into a scrap.
I remember in the late 80s before they became Chelski lol. They were the first team to be relegated from the top Division, via the Play offs. In fact they and Man City were both down there (and they both went back up) in season '88.
They're in a very precarious position. They can't spend to improve either. Just like Everton, Wolverhampton, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. Me personally. I think if I own a football club. It's my money I'm damned if I've got some snivelling pen pusher telling me I can't challenge Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs. Just seems a bit odd none of the "top five" are getting f c uked.
