Spent a billion replacing a Champions League winning squad with a load of kids. Preached long term project and patience while going through 5 managers in 2 years. Had to sell Cobham and the hotels "to themselves", and will continue to sell our best homegrown players to make up for their spending spree, while continuing to sign Brazilian 16 year olds. Now they sack a manager who had gotten the process on track. They want to buy and sell whoever they want with a timid Championship manager who goes along with whatever they want and has no input outside of team selection. These owners are digging their own graves.

Until he stops rubbing it in that he knows Todd and know why Tuchel is gone then I don't think he should be commenting on Chelsea's management situation.

The problem Mr Jordan with the "here are your players, coach them" is that if you want success then why not copy the best team in the UK, Man City. If you are trying to suggest that pep gets given players and doesnt have any say in who he gets then i would suggest you are wrong. Emulate the best.

[@frasierfreak92]

Pep gets a say but he has 100% had players bought for him and not been able to get who he wanted. Pep was blatant when he said he wanted Kane but the club wouldn’t pay the fee in 2021.

[@poobalanpather7454]

Roman would have sent Poch packing long ago . However Roman would hire only world class managers not student managers. We need Roman back to save Chelsea

[@ConScanlon]

Roman had a core group of players who were experienced winners and could hold a certain level regardless of who the manager was so his changing of managers didn't have the negative impact it would in other clubs, as soon as they all left or retired that model fell apart

[@zer0ag3nt]

This whole process is just the Americanization of the club. They are moving to a coach/GM structure. It seems that they are looking to have a philosophy that carries over year after year, no matter the manager. Gone will be the days of new managers coming in and playing a new system requiring new players to fit that manager. They will hire a coach to play the system the club has built. No clue if it will work but you can see what they are trying to do.

[@charliemilroy6497]

I'll be happy for McKenna to go to Utd., but I'll be disappointed if he went to Brighton

[@solo97us73]

Pep, Xabi, Arteta, Nagelsman etc were all managers given a big job after no experience and they thrived. Why these Chelsea owners are getting slammed by their decision to let Poch go is ridiculous. Same exit he had in previous jobs when he changed his mind on the structure he signed up for. Oh I see Bayern just did the same thing with Tuchel and now Kompany.

[@manriquebrian]

Ridiculous? Lol

[@frasierfreak92]

Yes, loyalty is pretty much dead. But I think if you get promoted with a team who gave you a big chance (potentially your first job) you owe them at least one season in the new league. Kieran McKenna was nobody, and Ipswich took a punt on him. He should at least give them a season. He’ll get a full season in the PL thanks to the credit built up, and even if they get relegated, he’ll have the experience then.

For the millionth time CLEARLAKE IS MAJORITY OWNER. How hard can it be. Starting to believe these guys just can’t pronounce Eghbali.

[@backupdancer3720]

Some Chelsea fans will never stop complaining until Chelsea win trophies: something Pochettino should have done this season. RA came into the Premier League and made 16 signings within 12 months; the fans cheered and pundits were too stunned to criticise it... Most of those signings were younger with potential: Duff, Joe Cole, Geremi, Robben, Cech, Glen Johnson, Bridge etc. RA recognised he needed the best manager (manager not coach) and signed Jose Mourinho, who recommended Drogba and, a year later, Essien. Clearlake came into a more competitive Premier League league, with a City team more dominant than any team before them... Clearlake were stung by letting the manager sign players: Tuchel signed Sterling, Koulibaly and Fofana on big salaries, before Boehly hired directors who changed the policy and signed multiple young players. Since 2010, RA's Chelsea were already signing young players that managers refused to play: they lost KDB, Lukaku, Salah, Ake and others... Clearlake are refusing to give managers the 100% control of transfers; something RA also refused to do for multiple managers.

[@bryguy572]

Simon's defense of why he's defending Boehly like he's his lawyer is ostensibly because he's sat in a "board room" and nobody else knows what they're talking about. We've heard all of his flexible defenses and reasonings for months now and it is Olympic mental gymnastics. So Boehly and Eghbali appointing themselves as Sporting Directors isn't a legit criticism, or having 2 co sporting directors, or messing up paperwork for transfers (Ziyech) messing up Release clauses with clear protocols on how to trigger (Olise) or being threatened by PSG for shady transfer tactics (Sporting Lisbon purchase tied to Ugarte) or using an AI scouting Model for everything they do, an U25 year old project in a men's league, loans that blow up constantly, dismantling a clubs standards and reputation, sacking each and everyone down to groundsmen, sons and tea lady, sacking an entire medical department, constant interference in the coaching jobs, constantly involved on the training grounds, dictating and micromanaging the squad, selling players their own coach wants to keep, a bench depth of 18 year olds, buying broken players, spending billions, long term contracts that have forced the club into selling assets such as hotels and training grounds to balance books along with all academy graduates despite how key they've been for the coach. A fan who notices these things "doesn't know squat" though as they've never sat in a board room like Simon has therefore Simon is not defending the Boehly, who by the way, is a 13% owner and not really in control of the club the way Clearlake, Eghbali and Feliciano are. Simon is absolutely compromised because I don't think he's stupid. By the way, a few weeks ago Simon was arguing with Souness or Murphy and said he "refused to believe that Pochettino didn't have a say in player recruitment" as he used that "belief" or refusal to believe as the fundamental point in another argument he was having defending the insanity of Chelsea's owners. Now it's "what's wrong with having a coach "coach'?. How ironic, as this is what Tuchel wanted to do and was sacked ostensibly because he didn't want to be part of recruitment. Simon is all over the place with his mental gymnastics and is really working his brain to come up with these elaborate and fantastic defenses of a clear and obvious case of arrogance and incompetence in the new regime at Chelsea.
