Funny thing is. That may be a card Boehly is forced to play if something doesn't get better.

Only to get fans off his back

Plus it will add to their FFP troubles, hiring another manager on a new fat contract.

Kind of get the impression a lot of Chelsea fans are a bit delusional. Yes Poch isn’t Klopp and yes he is a former Spurs manager but I mean look at the crap Boehy bought. It says something when after you spend £1bn your best player is Gallagher, a youth product.

Some of these young kids they bought might turn out great one day in 1-3 years time but even then you need patience. Potter failed, Poch failed and if they get Jose that would be a total calamity of epic proportions. They can’t manager their way out of this, best they can do is keep Poch or if they have to change get a manager who is good with younger players and accept it will take several seasons to fix.

FFP means they can’t buy their way out of this mess, they have to work with what they have and what they seem to mostly have is younger players which requires a project manager and a good amount of time. If they try the old method of constantly sacking managers it won’t work, there isn’t the experienced elite players in their squad who can make it work.

All this Look at the Crap Bouehly brought in need to remind themselves what a decent manager can do with almost the same set of players and just the right philosophy.

I am not sure you understand the amount of money involved with these managers - whether they win or lose....

I'd be shocked if Mourinho was not interested in another high paying gig in London.

Especially one that would last a few months and net him another massive payoff for being shite.

Yeah and not just the money either. I could see playing it to his ego, the returning hero, club legend etc and anyway, it’s probably the biggest job left available to him now.

They have now had two managers with good records with young players and a attacking philosophy in Potter and Poch, if the next manager fails at some point you will come to the conclusion that Enzo, Caceido, Mudryk, Jackson are just not that good and they spent their money badly, very badly.

Frank Lampard also checks the above boxes if Todd wants to go in that direction, which I think he should do.

Agree, or it’s a case of them being good or potentially good players who made bad career moves. It happens a lot, a player’s career stalls or tanks because he went to the wrong club.

I’m not sure the Chelsea fans would welcome Lampard back as manager though? He didn’t exactly cover himself in glory during his last stint there and in he’s not really proved himself as a top level manager.
