I can’t decide if we should be hoping for Nagelsmann and his undoubted talent as a coach or apprehensive he’s another big name with a big ego and big expectations we won’t match

 

[ralphs bald spot]

name your price on that one not even showing in the betting at the moment

how do wtf a factual message - to explain to Hercules he Gallardo isn't showing in the betting for the Chelsea job on Paddy Power at least at all so if you so inclined fill your boots might make a few pennies if there is any truth in it who knows

He’s def one of my top two ideal choices but I do think there are a few big question marks with him. I don’t really have any issues if he wants to hold off until summer before making a decision but if he needs persuading then I think we should move on.

He's the top candidate on paper but I don't think paper means anything. My hunch is Slot - or someone like him - is right for us.

Mate, meant with respect; Chelsea’s business since Boehly arrived, has been nothing short of shambolic. Pissing around has been their only clear MO.

Hard to believe, but they make us look like we’ve got a plan.

Transfer kitty aside, I’m not envious in the slightest.

Boehly is the owner equivalent of a Jackson Pollock painting.

Why is he stupid managing Chelsea? guaranteed another job at Spurs.

The ultimate stepping stone club for managing Spurs.

Where is all this 'Gallardo' to Chelsea news coming from?

Where is all this 'Gallardo' to Chelsea news coming from?

Aggregators quoting aggregators and getting excited because they just realised he had Enzo Fernandez at River Plate

 

[rossdapep]

It's good to see that the vast majority in here are looking at the next coach with different eyes compared to previous occasions.

Even big names like Luis Enrique are getting turned down by most because they see that we need someone who is gonna be brave, bold and build rather another coach to just come in for a couple of years do ok and then leave

I’m of the opinion that if we wait til the summer for Nagelsmann to make his mind up chances are we get blown out of the water and are left scrambling around again. I want a manager who genuinely wants to be here, not another one who acts like he is doing us a favour. That’s why I’m a full blown Slot slut

Oh, yeah. You’re a Dirty Little Slot.

Dier speaks Spanish?

Most Portuguese understands Spanish more or less fluently (and most Spanish don´t understand Portuguese). As Dier spent around 10 years in Portugal from the age of 8-9 I wouldn´t be surprised if he understood quite a lot.

 

[robertgoulet]

Gallardo is mad if he chooses Chelsea.

His first job in Europe should not be there, will 100 % end up getting sacked.

They'll sack him regardless of his credentials so may as well take the plunge now!

 

[DenverSpur]

Slot actively wants the job so you can pretty much disregard this article.

Rotterdam is an hour away by air.Add another hour or so for to and from airport. There’s managers, and players who live 2 hours+ drive away from the training ground/stadium. He could commute .

That isn't true at all, its as different as French and English.

My advice to Slot

Your first part is pretty much proven, while the second part is just conjecture. We'd be barmy not to bring him in, if he's available and willing.

 

[he is you know!]

Hell I'd say it's a but stupid to NOT take a job where you'll only have to work 8 months then get paid 50M to go away

Except you don't get paid full contact whatever you're on, Potter didn't.

 

[cunn1ngstunt]

I think the issue here is Levy’s understanding of football matters. I don’t think that Levy thinks we need an overhaul or a project manager and I’m pretty certain he’s not planning on any scenario where we stand still let alone take a small step back to move forward. Levy sees us as now dining (or at least sitting) at the top table. I believe he now thinks his job now is to put the winning manager in post to match the progress off of the pitch. If a top manager is available I think he’ll always go for one. If we end up with a Slot type manager it will be because higher profile names have turned us down. Champions league qualification this year would ensure this trend continues. The question I’m struggling is would I prefer champions league + a big name manager with a 40/60* chance of us competing next year or 1 -3 seasons out of the champions league with a 40/60* chance for said manager being in place long enough to overhaul our squad and compete again domestically. *insert your own Ratios !!
Either way it’s hardly inspiring to renew although of course I will.

No it's not.
