Chelsea Banter

For me though I would like Amorim.

21 May 2024 19:51:54
Ed you might get DeZerbi finally!
No, I'm just kidding. DeZerbi is not stupid to take Chelsea job. We really became laughing stock.
Maybe Super Frank is back? He is young, dumb enough to take the job.
Those didn't took over Chelsea to rebuild the club. They've took the club to destroy it.

21 May 2024 20:40:34
That really would be a strange BP or ambition.

We now just move on to yet another manager.

21 May 2024 20:42:12
Sod that can’t watch managers football like Lampard potter or Southgate. No charisma.

21 May 2024 20:54:50
It must be me but that first year of Lamps I enjoyed the football.

21 May 2024 19:25:31
Now confirmed, Poch has left.

21 May 2024 19:32:43
Bill, I would assume the owners have a replacement already lined up or at least very close to being appointed.

21 May 2024 19:41:12
You'd really hope so. I'm a bit gutted, I have to say.

21 May 2024 19:43:05
Hopefully they stay clear of the Ipswich manager and De Zerbi.

21 May 2024 19:49:45
Good last run and an improvement. But I think the game style throughout most of the season was poor. I think it held certain players back. Possibly his training was causing injuries? I don’t know for sure, im happy either if he stayed for another season or gone.
He doesn’t have a winning mentality to be honest.

Whitey,

I totally agree De Zerbi would be at logger heads with our owners from day one and McKenna, as good as a job he has done, it is a massive step up as GP found out.

That said whoever takes over now will be a massive gamble.

21 May 2024 19:57:07
CG and TC will follow. Poch has told board not to sell his captain and they have denied his wish. Imo.

21 May 2024 19:58:39
Please stay clear of Tuchel Jose, for me too early for Mckenna but it could be him de Zerbi is cheap so not surprised he ia the bookies favourite if it was up to me would employ a manager who has been around a bit Simione of Athletico or Flick

If we sacked Poch it is a poorly thought through move.

21 May 2024 20:02:10
It would madness for McKenna to leave Ipswich at this stage. De Zerbi is just another Potter with a temper.

21 May 2024 20:15:47
Just looking at the betting markets a lot of money on Mckenna.

21 May 2024 20:42:41
4 managers in 2 seasons. Finally have done something and they are getting rid of him.
The most unstable club in top 6.

21 May 2024 20:43:48
Amorin from sporting?

21 May 2024 20:46:26
I am only thinking of managers I wouldn’t want.

Not Jose, Conte, Howe, RDZ, McKenna, TF, VK, Southgate, or ETH.

I’m leaning more towards the SL manager because I just don’t like the other choices.

21 May 2024 20:50:06
Mckenna is far too inexperienced for the project we are in at the moment.

21 May 2024 21:02:32
At least the divorce seems genuinely amicable.

Of course that won’t stop all the stories about Poch not getting what he wanted or the owners not happy with his training methods.

21 May 2024 19:20:52
I never wanted him as our manager but as the events of the season unfolded I continued to support his management of our team.

I'm not happy but as I always say "The King is dead, long live the king. "

Sadly that is the 4th time I've had to make that quote in just two seasons.

21 May 2024 19:13:55
Wow so looks like Poch has gone. I think that’s a mistake but the way he was talking it didn’t sound like he wanted to stay particularly. We ended the season well and looked to be building something and now it’s back to square one once again. We really need to get this next appointment right.

21 May 2024 17:27:09
For those that are interested. The gooner site has a further transfer update from Ed.

We are mentioned a few times.

As always, thanks Ed.

Cheers Tom and Ed002.
