Re: Tuchel sacked!

Post by Irish Ian »

I did the Stamford Bridge tour a few years back.

Nice dressing room, nice that the away one which is dingy and cramped.

Wonder how he lost it, it is right under the big stand, on the right as you go down the tunnel.

I said exactly the same to Jill as soon as I read Potter was lined-up for the job.

Part of me thinks that new owner will put himself in charge. He seems to know which direction he want the club to go in and he seems to have bought in a hotchpot of players himself, altho the Aubameyang transfer now looks to be a strange one. You could tell something wasn't right at Leeds, the players had almost give up. No team should ever run 11k more than in a match.

Potter really has magicked his wand. People are saying Potter would be a long term appointment...I say Bollox, its a results business and he will need to hit the ground running to survive like the rest of them at that elite level. You get the feeling Potter would be the perfect yes sir man they want. Its been mentioned Moyes was the chose one until the share price needed a bigger name. In saying all that i really like him Potter i am not sure he has ever been red carded but there's still time.

New,owner at Chelsea is like Cellino on steroids.
Great for Potter though, massive pay out in 9 months time, then go back to managing a decent club.

Brighton seem to hold their own in the PL even though they sell their best players.

Question is how would they manage if Potter does leave the seagulls?

Me too, but not to Jill.... :)

He may not take the job of course, but SKY main footy presenter things he's very ambitious so he expects him to become Chelsea boss.

I notice that in making the case for Potter's system there was no mention of Pulisic. The writer mentioned virtually every other player in the attacking space. Which tells me he is not going to be at Chelsea too much longer.

How many of us would take Pulisic over Harrison? I love my fellow American. But I'm not so sure he is right for Leeds...

Not sure about this myself.

Got a multi billionaire playing real life football manager.

Flying here and there trying to sign players regardless of whether the manager wants them.

Got rid if all the actual football people at Executive Level.
Signed

No I wouldn’t take your man over Harrison. But I would take him. But we are 1 in 1 out. An endless cycle of standing still

It would be great to be able to do that.

If you had the powers which club would you ruin first :lol:

Oooh that’s a tricky one. I suppose I should be forced to say Manure but I have an overwhelming urge to tread on Fwanks face in a muddy puddle. So it’s Everton for me

I think you got this wrong Cjay. According to a news piece linked here earlier they were NOT fired. They all left the club with Roman Abromovich. So rather than make rash decision on the technical staff Todd Boehly assumed the role in consultation with Tuchel.

Re: Chelsea Thread - Tuchel out - Potter in ?

Post by Kennyb41 »

Either way it's just another Yank with his ' I know best coz i'm American' attitude coming into the Prem and getting what he wants.

God help us if the 49er's end up with 100% here.
