Gloria Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May Points deductions are not announced before Oct/Nov historically. So, I guess we're likely to appoint a 'placemat' manager in the hope they can just keep us up. Are there any more Dyche brothers? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it, and its one of the things that pi55ed Poch off too. He doesnt do his due dilligence does he? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Poch sacked off because he ended up wanting more control of signings too? Makes sense the manager wasn't signing players when they were just throwing money around.

mozartfox Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May Just seen this: Paying Pochettino off has reportedly cost Chelsea another £10m, but it won’t be quite so lucrative for Maresca if all does not go to plan at Stamford Bridge. To that end, it’s understood that his deal in SW6 will contain various break clauses that will limit him to one year’s pay-off at the most, if the Blues ever decide to sever ties. Turd Boehly appears to have doubts.......... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May The Chelsea job isn’t so fantastic when you think about it, you get players forced on you and you probably have to play them, plus if you aren’t getting the big payout once sacked, it doesn’t sound so great.

Could be less if say targets are not reached Anyhow is he really going to out perform and out date the longevity of the previous 3 appointments? I personally very much doubt it, but good luck and thanks Enzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it puts us on the back foot regardless. I’d imagine if the deduction decision takes too long we will either have to gamble and spend a little bit more money and risk it, or basically build a younger, cheaper squad and just factor relegation into our plans. Ideally we just need them to slap us with the deduction now so we can properly plan, you’d think that would be the priority of the league too so we have a proper chance to right the ship. If they take too long, we risk going down because of lack of time to plan and execute which would only exacerbate the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even fully signed and the Chelsea ownership tell the world they aren't sure. Oh dear Enzo, what have you done. When the boos rings out at the bridge because you couldn't break down Forest, I hope you remember what that away end was like a Preston. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense the manager wasn't signing players when they were just throwing money around. Disaster of a club. It is still in most scenarios a no lose situation for Enzo in that he can go through all the usual Chelsea problems and be sacked - and still have his "reputation" intact. I feel sorry for him though if he hasn't worked out they've specifically targeted a Championship manager because they think managers on Poch's level have too much of a say. He's going to get a big shock. I have absolutely no doubt we will be getting Guillem making every accusations about the Chelsea hierarchy in next year or so on Sky sports. I really hope we never see that patronising, arrogant clown ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think from a managers point of view the upside to taking us on is that it is a free hit reputation wise. Keep us up with the squad we have, minimal budget and a points deduction and you will be widely heralded. We go down and it is probably framed as unfortunate but not a failure and it's what a good chunk of the fans expect. No doubt its difficult and there may be more enticing jobs out there, but what is there to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense the manager wasn't signing players when they were just throwing money around. Disaster of a club. He also didn't want to sell off assets like Gallagher, which presumably Enzo is just going to accept. But based on what these monkeys spend, then same problems will materialise next year. But Chelsea have made it very clear with the appointment of Enzo - they want a coach who isn't going to meddle in other dealing of the club and this includes transfers. Which makes Enzo's whinge fest about Sensi even stranger. I presume Enzo thinks he is so good that he will change them at some point in the future. Not a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shields, Co-Director of Recruitment and Talent at Chelsea worked with Enzo at Manchester City doing their Under 23s Shields is the reason Cole Palmer ended up there - so in the eyes of Boelhy has the knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it’s difficult and there may be more enticing jobs out there, but what is there to lose? The main problem is that we would need to go for someone inexperienced or unproven at the top level in that case, since someone like Moyes likely wouldn’t want to manage in the championship. It makes it far more likely we end up with someone from the championship or 2nd division elsewhere I’d imagine, but if it’s someone like Corberan I’d be happy enough to give him a free hit providing it looks like we are building something.
