Chelsea's search for a good manger proving difficult. Sarri and Pochettino seems very difficult targets; it might be looking like Chelsea will make do without a big-name manager.

I agree Obinna. It seemed unrealistic from the start that we would be able to lure Poch but more disappointedly it doesn't appear that the club want Sarri. Maybe his foul mouth has cost him the job. It seems likely that he will sign an extension with Napoli. Seems like a good manager, I love his style of football. So to summarise, we can rule out Allegri, Tuchel, Enrique and I'll probably add Sarri and Poch to that list.

ED1, hope your doing good mate. When in doubt we always come running to you. Any ideas on the managers on our shortlist? It seems to me that we probably go for a low profile manager.

{Ed001's Note - why are you ruling out Enrique? I thought he was in the running myself. Lucien Favre would be the other name I believe to be a major possibility. Though there is always the issue of Conte actually still being in charge and might win the FA Cup.....}

I assumed Enrique was out from the running given his wage demands and the fact that his front has gone really quiet. What sort of manager is Lucien Favre?

If Conte does end up staying then he needs a new squad, I'm not sure he has the backing of the players. Read something about Willian refusing to talk about his relationship with Conte citing another interview is required. This could be nothing but I wouldn't be surprised. Who is your money on Ed1?

{Ed001's Note - Abramovich does not mind spending big money on his managers. Things have gone quiet because the cup final is coming up and the club are concentrating on that.

Favre is very good at dealing with difficult personalities, hence why he has done well at Nice with the likes of Balotelli. He is also assessing his options for next season, looking for a new challenge.

I think it will end up being the name of Enrique though to be honest.}

What’s your views on Favre Ed001 I know nothing of him any info would be greatly appreciated.

{Ed001's Note - I have only seen little bits of him, but he is very highly regarded and plays good football.}

Thankyou for the response mate just a waiting game now then.

I guess this question is almost impossible to give a definitive answer to but is it normal for a club like Chelsea to have a board meeting before an event like a cup final?

If we can’t get Sarri or Poch I’d give Morris a go over Enrique or Jardim.

Jody Morris is only 39 and it is highly unlikely they would even consider him and at that age, he gets it wrong and it could ruin what might be a great career. Another five years doing what he is doing, gradually brought into the first team fold should see what he has to offer.
