Salty from the club. No manager is gonna say no to Chelsea when they've just been managing in a lower division. Plus we've no money, batshit hierarchy and an impending points deduction. Hardly tempting. 

Apart from McKenna?

I lost interest in Enzo after his post match comments following the Southampton home game 

 

Onwards and downwards !

i find all this ' hope he does badly' talk a little bit childish.....

 

 

I  mean, for them most part we are all grown adults and lets not kid ourselves, the club would have dropped him like a hot potato had it not worked out with him. Why are we expecting a level of loyalty from him that we wouldn't have shown ourselves?

It's more a case of why do we want a competitor to do well? Simple answer is we don't. He's a competitor I certainly hope he loses at least 2 games as with any competitor. Largely I don't care but overall I hope they are Rubbish and finish below us because that's 1 less relegation spot for us!

Maresca should remember he's achieved nowt in the Premiership.

 

He also seems not to be bothered about Chelsea's hire and fire policy over recent seasons.

 

Still, if he gets blown out by Christmas he'll be in for a big pay-out.

It certainly did raise some red flags.

 

Deja vu from when we were 3-0 up against WBA under Rodgers.

 

What is wrong with these people.

 

An extract out of Percy's article is quite damning too.

 

There will be inevitable disappointment in the Leicester dressing room but, equally, some players will be unmoved.

 

Maresca was so devoted to his philosophy that he could at times become stubborn and dogmatic. It was a meeting called by senior Leicester players towards the end of the season that helped them over the line.

The reaction from our fans sum up why our board haven't faced the scrutiny most clubs would.

 

Why would Enzo stay here when offered the Chelsea job? He's gone on record as saying the club kept him in the dark about our financial problems. 

 

Why would he stay when he's challenged the board and owner to make changes in areas that should have come under pressure from the worst relegation in Premier League history and yet those positions remain untouched. Never performance measured, never refreshed. No other serious football club would do that. It's beggars belief.

 

So I ask again, why would he stay here? 

 

Chelsea are a basket case but he'll fancy his chances of getting more of a gig there than he will here based on points 1 and 2 above. Chelsea will pull any old stunt to comply with financial issues but bottom line he's sat on a huge pay off now if it goes badly and his reputation won't be majorly tarnished. 

 

He's laughing and I don't blame him.

 

I also don't give a flying fcuk he's gone either. We've bigger problems and he's not been here long enough for me to care.

 

Our board and owner have a huge job on their hands to turn this club around and protect our future. The good things that Enzo did will need to be safe guarded and number one priority is the development of academy players on the cusp of the 1st team, that's massively important for next season and if the likelihood of relegation happens that we've 3-4 very talented young players ready to help us try and get back up or be sold for huge money to survive and rebuild.

I’m glad we’ve publicly moaned, regardless of the club’s shortcomings I wouldn’t want them looking like pushovers either. I also wouldn’t want them saying a load of stuff they don’t mean. 

[Spudulike]

Wonder if he's thought to ask about Chelsea's financial situation with probable PS&R sanctions on the horizon?

im just grateful for his contribution to getting us promoted. but surely you can see the difference between wishing someone well for the future is being  different to wanting them to beat us when we play?

 

besides, we will probably be flirting with relegation if we get a sizeable points deduction and they will be fighting for a top 4 pla e so i dont see us as  being competitors in the purest form of the word..

[adejo92]

Should probably be more bothered than I am but genuinely couldn't care less, in fact, i feel more excitement for the season ahead now that he's gone.

Actually since the Frank O’Farrell to Manchester United days in 1971.

Wouldn't ever risk an ounce of humility about the catastrophic mistakes they've made though will they? 

 

Bang on about loyalty and yet our outgoing manager has essentially called our club dishonest at worst and economical with the truth at best in relation to problems that preceded him.

Whilst some may be frustrated/disappointed (not arsed either way personally), it's understandable why he'd want to join Chelsea. As much as they are a bit of a joke club because of the way Boehly runs it, he'll have a shed load of money to spend on players, and already had a decent young squad that just needs fine tuning. Worst case scenario for him, it doesnt work and he's sacked in the first 12 months, he gets a huge pay out and gets another job at a team in one of Europe's top leagues. Potter and Poch won't be short of suitors as being sacked by Chelsea doesn't tarnish your name.

I'm grateful for his contribution. I liked him and I personally think he should have stayed, I am not to sure if this is a step to far too early. Time will tell.

 

I mean really I suppose if he beats some relegation fodder that's good.

 

We need to stop worrying about the points deduction until it's confirmed and we also know what other teams have. If we get -15 Man City should be on a lot less, also possibly Chelsea. Interesting really as if Man City hadn't cheated we might have qualified for the Champions League 2 times, you like to think that may have dramatically altered where we ended up.

At this point I’d take a Brexit management team of Vardy, Dean Smith, Pearson and Elliott.

Well yeah that’s the flip side. But on balance I’m happy with this stance, in lieu of a well run club.

[JimmyC74]

The board needs to crack on now.

 

Let's not waste time flirting with Potter only to get rejected (again).  identify a pragmatic, hungry manager who is up the challenge and go all out to appoint them.  

 

 

[Le Renard]

I don't blame Maresca for going, we've all been at jobs where we are told one thing only to find that those above were bullsh*ting all along.  It's just that most of us have to stay in the job, because we don't earn stupid amounts of money, and can't pick and choose when we want to 'flip the bird' to the boss.

[adejo92]

 

 

Chelsea fans must be buzzing with those coaching career achievements.

PASSSSHHHHHHUUUUUN 

 

To be honest the Chat Shit get banged every player 100% 90 minutes backs against the wall, low block, hard tackle, quick counter tactic next year against tippy tappy bollocks would probably serve us as well as anything at this point!

If he does badly Chelsea do badly and most right thinking football fans should be hoping that happens.
