I was thinking the same thing when they mentioned these three coaches. Potter did a great job at Brighton as well before he goes to Chelsea, Where is he now!! How come they’re so dumb to realize it’s not the coach issue, but there is something wrong with the administration, the people above.

[@pratikroy227]

Yeah Thomas Frank that's even worst than going after Graham Potter. I mean look at Brighton when Potter was signed and Brentford in last season. Frank should reject the offer it won't end well for him or Brentford.

[@andy-ht4ts]

Exactly.

[@peterchedraoui1494]

Think about it, why do they want a young and unproven manager? Because they don’t want to be questioned about stupid decisions & that is exactly what poch was doing in the final weeks.

[@tikemyson5627]

Yeah a player could be important for a manager starts every game and owners will just inform him that the player is being sold and replaced with a young player with not even half the experience of the player he’s just replaced 😂 that’s what the owners want a manager to accept

[@lapprentice]

They want a coach who can compete in Champions League, top 4, etc. but also a yes-man coach who does not make any demands and uses whatever players get thrown at him. 😂, Todd Boehly definitely makes a joke of a club out of Chelsea.

[@Loki66667]

Thats bang on m8

[@jamiebates8274]

Definitely agree. Chelsea gained form the last few weeks because Poch said no to the nonsense Boehly wants. And because he went against their "philosophy", he got fired. I love Chelsea but I really don't feel like being a football fan now

I don't. Abramovich really started to fall to pieces towards the end. Consistent poor buying, complete lack of structure, terrible wage structure. Also we haven't won a domestic cup since 2018, haven't won the prem since 2017 we really weren't as good as people think and the champ leagues win really paper over the cracks

How the hell do the chelsea owners want to compete in the top 4 and champions league immediately if they brought in a bunch of average young players?? There was no way Poch or any other coach for that matter could’ve accomplished a top 4 finish and a semifinal run in the next champions league with this squad

[@healthdex3729]

What a stupid comment. Gusto Palmer Lavia Caicedo Forfana are all average are they? Chelsea had 14-15 players injured all season and still were only a few pts from top 4. You could put Mickey Mouse in as manager for next season and they’ll get in the top 4

[@anthonybrown5085]

[@marlons5838]

You don't know ball my friend. Graham Potter primarily plays possession based football. Thomas Frank is tactically flexible and adjusts to the opponents style of play to achieve the desired results. I believe Potter would have done well at Chelsea given time because he needs time to implement his possession based system including allowing the recruitment team to sign the right players, but the recruitment team was not yet in place for him at Chelsea and the available players were not necessarily best suited for possession football Thomas Frank will use the resources available to play in a manner that gets results and exploits weaknesses in the opponents set up. So I completely disagree that Thomas Frank is Graham Potter 2.0, they have different tactically approaches

[@SilverSurfer9000]

I think 90% of people agree, but we aren’t privy to the behind the scenes and relationships. Same with Tuchel. If there’s a toxic work environment between the higher ups it’s not going to work long term. Also we all think we know better and that Clearlake are clueless but you can’t really judge them for a few years when these players are coming into their prime

[@urlame6686]

​@@sreesunilkumarc2993 I really do not understand what u guys and the clown of owners wants do u really expect poch to made top 4 in his first season with a bunch of unproven yet youngster and a wasteful forwards such as sterling,Jackson and broja not to forget the injuries of several senior players it's a miracle I would say that he made top 6 with them. Then he might hav gone to meet boehly and asked about some players of his choice. The owners might hav disappointed him by telling him to make the available disposals to turn them into a superstar. That maybe where he might have throws his hands up and bid adieus mates.

The way this bloke tries to sell the contradiction of the owners wanting to regularly be competing at the highest level in European competitions and at home while at the same time also looking to employ a head coach without anywhere near having the experience in doing so just blows my mind.

[@billybobthornton9668]

Interesting that they're going for managers who have worked within restraints or with bigger clubs. Looks like their priority is a manager who can have a good working relationship with the club hierarchy, with that appearing to be the cause of their issues with both Tuchel and Pochettino. On that basis, I'd be shocked if they go for De Zerbi because he doesn't strike me as someone who'll acquiesce to whatever the board decides, even if he might be the more exciting of the prospective options.
