But in the current situation there is an argument to be made that he has more chance of being a PL manager in 2025/26 with WBA than with us.

They’re going to back him come hell or high water over the next few years, even if they have a few stinkers of a season? Doesn’t seem Chelsea’s M.O. When was the last time they offered a manager a 5 year deal? I honestly think they're sensing a shift in how manager hirings work. They're just going to keep a ton of managers on gardening leave so that if any other club wants to come get them, they have to pay a fee. They'll snatch up managerial talent like they do youth talent. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably put Enzo off staying. Managers want certainty. We don't even know how many points we'll be deducted yet, and won't for some time. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we are forced to gamble on a manager that is currently out of work, is desperate to get back into management, and therefore has nothing to lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really wants the job he knows that he hasn’t done his time to get this post a five year deal effectively guarantees him £25m over that period Chelsea don’t want to be committing to more than that - they know it’s a risk They also know he isn’t likely to stay out of work once they sack him so they won’t have to pay that sum out.

While I didn't find his 'idea' even remotely entertaining, I understood that getting promoted by any means was imperative to the club's immediate future. In that respect he delivered. He left the club in a better place than he found it and that's all you can ask of any manager really. Whilst I appreciate he did his job and got us back up and I would have liked him to stay he won't get a good reception from me not a bad one either just a nothing. He hasn't earnt a good reception. If he had stayed built on what he had started and delivered us success then yes but leaving at a time we need stability when we gave him his first opportunity as a manager in English football leaves a sour taste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May 1 hour ago, st albans fox said: Saw that he’s only earning £100k/week he’ll be by far the lowest earning big six coach the length of the deal gives him some security for when he’s discarded and gives Chelsea the ability to increase his remuneration if he performs well. It’s an indicator that they want the project with him to work and it’s long term but it doesn’t commit Chelsea to paying a fortune if/when he gets sacked. clubs v rarely end up paying off a manager’s contract unless they never take a new job. (Unless you’re Lcfc ) Only? I'd show my bum hole on East Midlands Today every night for 100k a week.

Weller Wing Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May 2 hours ago, MPH said: They'll qualify for the champions league and so many people will have egg on their faces. remember this post and feel free to remind me about it if im wrong. Spurs qualified quite a few times for CL campaigns and were still pretty shit. Initially, top 4 might satisfy the Chelsea board but any drop in levels and he's toast. Although he'll be able to afford caviar on his😄 Tbh He might do OK but he'll be up against some big hitters and his way of playing, even with much better players, will still cause some calamitous moments, which he'll be heavily scrutinised under the ever watchful media. He's had a fairly easy ride so far but things will be different for him from now on. Feel free to remind me about it , if I'm wrong👍😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
