Chelsea FC - Pride of London

[Loonerty]

There was a report that part of the data indicating poor performance was the number of big chances missed.

Missed by the players THEY bought.

 

[Thistle]

It would be nice to have our next manager stay in that position for at least five years. I feel the only way that occurs is if we return to being a consistent top four team, a title threat and going deep in the CL & FA Cup.

Obviously that's well within reach. We just need some bloody stability.

While being a yes man to the owners

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Gone from excited for next season to expecting a repeat of last season. Slow start that will slowly turn around.

They better not sell Gallagher

 

[chef]

Sounds like McKenna is the man, how exciting haha.

This feels like Graham Potter 2.0

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Very underwhelming. The grass isn’t always greener.

This feels like Graham Potter 2.0

I don't think so, Potter situation was a mess. Too many players and half already with their heads out the door, if he has been in Pochs shoe this season he'd probs have similar results.

Our squad seems settled now and is starting to gel.

 

[chef]

Potter didn't have Palmer to save his arse either.

 

[chef]

A good insight here.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

OMG really, what a crab appointment if true. No experience in the prem or Europe as a manager.

I'm sure he's a good manager, but manager at Chelsea is a levels beyond championship football.

Feels like he could be a early sacking, and we'd waste another year!!!

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

It's all very underwhelming for mine.

Think next season will be tough.

Optimism for next season evaporated pretty quickly! Pretty frustrating.

They needed a world class replacement if they were going to replace him.

According to this, McKenna ain't favourite.

The most worrying thing about this is the betting market from the above post suspends in December 2025 so it seems every chance we may play the next season and a bit without a manager

 

[chef]

Gut feeling says it's De Zerbi which I'd be happy with, think our squad would suit that. Wouldn't mind Amorin, he'd be my choice.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Wish we could resign Ancelotti!

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

FFS. No one can seriously be excited about this ?

 

[chef]

Man this is worse than keeping Poch, can I change my mind now. Poch in.

5 years. We are some dumb.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

5 years ?

 

[Misher]

I must be the only one bullish on Enzo. We’ll revisit this one

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Reckon they're creaming themselves that he worked under Pep.
Read the fine print, it was only for 61 days. FFS

Xavi would be a much better option, 85 points in La Liga. Champions league experience. Just up against a great side in Real.

 

[chef]

5. Fvcking. Years.

 

[X_box_X]

I can't help but feel all eyes will be on Maresca.

Is it a coincidence that an anagram of Maresca is CAMERAS and an anagram of Enzo is ZONE?

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Not happy about it, but Maresca deserves our support and backing.

If it doesn't work, then the scrutiny and criticism needs to be applied to the owners and sporting directors rather than on the coach himself.

You would have think this is last chance saloon for Stewart and Winstanley. Stuff this up and they have to be gone.
