Fair play to Chelsea for acting now. Maybe they realised how absurd it is to have the previous team in charge.
They’ve basically done the equivalent of us appointing Nuno until the end of the season, it’s every bit as farcical as what we’ve been up to.

Actually it’s worse, because they had a top manager who was doing a good job and still chose to put themselves in this position.

You do realise in the world of football, Conte is seen as an elite manager? Irrespective of his time at spurs (which was a horrible watch), he’ll get a top job before Potter.

Also with Poch was his absolute refusal to accept alternative to moon on a stick signings

Frankie de Jong was never interested in signing for us - so pick an alternative

Unless Poch has had a road to Damascus conversion, I believe he struggles with/doesn't want to work with a DoF. That alone should disqualify him from consideration imo

Does the Lampard news mean Enrique becomes less likely?

Going with the logic that Enrique would be more likely to start now, with Naggers being the summer option, after his ‘break’?
Lots of managers choose to start at the end of the season, even if they're free now. There's not enough training time to come in and implement any ideas at this time of the season, especially in a club still playing twice a week in CL. So if you have a complex system, all you can do is half implement it and potentially not be successful and damage your reputation with the club/players/fans.

There has been some reports Enrique would prefer to come in to a new club in the summer too. Can't immediately find them.

That’s not the point.

Chelsea had a world class manager who was happy there, committed to the medium/long term and was doing a good job. Then they chose to sack him for the current chaos.

At least with Conte the situation was completely untenable and he clearly had to be sacked. We’re in a mess now but it’s not like you could say if we’d just stuck with Conte everything would’ve been fine.

But that is the case for Chelsea. If they hadn’t sacked Tuchel they’re a 1000x better off right now.

Simon Jordan kept referring to Tuchels behaviour and that's why he was fired.

Didn't say exactly what but it sounded like he heard something.

Any idea?

I think it was widely reported that he clashed with the Chelsea hierarchy but there weren’t many incidents where it sounded like Tuchel was wrong.

It was stuff like the new ownership showing him slides of a 4-4-3 formation they thought he should play and him losing his temper. Or having to explain to Boehly constantly over the summer that he didn’t want Ronaldo and he wouldn’t improve the side.

Tuchel does also have a rep for being a bit arrogant so it may not have all been one way but it sounded like 90% of it was him getting annoyed at people sticking their nose where it clearly doesn’t belong.

Got to squeeze those 40 first teamers in somewhere

If anyone is interested, Feyenoord have just pulled it back to 1-1 in the Dutch Cup semi. They've been playing some nice football

A nice cross from Jahanbakhsh (I think) and headed finish from Gimenez.
I honestly don’t know how Ajax’s defence is second best in the league this season, they always look unbalanced whenever I’ve seen them. Timber is having a bad season.

Also discounts him from any job on the continent if that's not nonsense
