May be in the minority, but I’m not bothered. Good for him, he’s a good manager and I could see him doing well there.
He was not the right appointment for us, so cannot complain too much.
spot on every word.Yeah this is one of my big concerns about Poch in 2023.
His high press was at the cutting edge 8 years ago but now everyone and their dog is pressing high (except us, ironically enough). He's clearly a great motivator and man-manager but if you take away the tactical edge he had over most of the, much weaker, league back in 2015-2017 I'm not sure what you're left with is good enough to work wonders with the current squad.
He strikes me as a manager that has actually gotten worse the more he tried to experiment and innovate as he's strayed further and further from his roots and what made him successful in the first place. Like a band that refuses to play the early hits and insists on playing the new album that none of the fans like.
Maybe he'll prove me wrong with a youthful, energetic squad at Chelsea and the reason he changed so much towards the end at Spurs and PSG was because he simply no longer had the personnel to implement his old ideas. However I get the feeling Fergie apparently telling him "you need to constantly innovate and mix things up every season" actually hurt him more than it helped him as I don't think the new ideas were, frankly, half as good as the old ones.
Look sorry im not having a lot of this, now its fine if you dont think he is a good enough manager, for us and its fine if you are not upset he is going there and it is fine if you think we should go in a different direction and not go back but what I find absurd is the revisionism as a way to convince ourselves.
Lets not forget - he was also a young manager at the time, so he was always going to make mistakes. Some questions are valid on whether he has grown enough from that period - id say there is more chance of him correcting those than say Slot/Kompany, perhaps not Nagelsmann.
Now im not biased here, I wanted him back and its annoying we havent considered him but I accept that and if he goes to Chelsea then it will be our loss in my view. I want him to fail because it is Chelsea but he is free to join whoever, I mean after all we sacked him and when we are looking for another Poch, we are going for a Poch 2.0 rather than the original version - so he is entitled to do as he wishes as soon as that happened.
Was he perfect? no, but to be honest, not one manager out there is perfect... you think anyone we bring in wont make mistakes? they all do.. you think if we bring in Nagelsmann, he wont bend over for Real Madrid? or if we bring in a Kompany, he wont fuck off to Man City in two years?
Absolute winner. I will always love Poch for his time with us but fuck do I want him to do well at Chelsea. I hope they continue to lose every game possible and not score any goals.Why the fuck would anyone want him to do well at that fucking sewer?
Some of our fans are fucking weird.
I think this is pretty apt. Just because we didn’t win anything doesn’t make his time a failure.
Even worse some are disagreeing with this hahahahaWhy the fuck would anyone want him to do well at that fucking sewer?

all the best to him, not going to make a narrative that he's some bad man because of his move.
I wish him the best but I wish us bester, is that better for you?Its ok to like Poch but why on earth would you wish the best to him? If you wish the best to him it means success with an arch rival. Odd.
I wish him the best but I wish us bester, is that better for you?
I hope Poch does well and Chelsea lose all their games.Nope. Still odd.
It's not him mate lol
Wait what?.. I don’t understand this reference and it sounds like I’d fucking love to!Maybe Boehly wants to run the Poch plan by James Corden first.
