Waiting for England to finally win the Euros-2024?

If Mourinho was willing to come to us I don’t see why it’s nonsensical that Poch goes to them. Loyalty is very rare in this game, and if we haven’t sounded him out then it makes it easier for him to do what’s best for him.

Some People don’t want him back at Spurs, others don’t think it’s the right time. But now that he is talking to Chelsea, they will not be happy. How does that work?
Just get him back Levy! We’ve tried Jose and Conte who haven’t worked out. Poch has had his rest and time away. Now it’s time!

So naglesmann rejects chelsea as he wants to feel wanted. We dont want naglesmann because we want to feel wanted. Anybody else see the irony and think that we are really a match made in heaven?

You've got to wonder if Poch is trying to force Levy's hand by having these Chelsea talks. Unless we really have said we don't want him back, but I thought he wanted to wait until the summer before making a decision.

Matin Samuel makes a good point here (which makes a change)
Of course Julian Nagelsmann wants no part in Chelsea beauty parade
Martin SamuelApril 21 2023, 4.30pmThe best managers need to know they are the one. They need to be courted, not required to impress or sell their wares. Maybe Chelsea had already taken against Julian Nagelsmann. Maybe he has heard a whisper about better prospects in Madrid or, God forbid, Tottenham. It really doesn’t matter. It is not a good look that managers on Chelsea’s shortlist are leaking their disinterest. What does that say to the players, or even to the other candidates?
Having rushed, rushed, rushed their player recruitment process, Chelsea are now in the slow lane on managers as their season stumbles to a close. They didn’t want Luis Enrique and fair enough. That much was obvious when he made it known that, unlike several other candidates, he was ready to take over mid-season, even before the Champions League tie with Real Madrid. The moment Chelsea did not jump at the chance of that, it meant they were unimpressed. Yet their season continues to drift and still no certainty.
It is one thing wishing to know a manager’s plans for the club but those talks can be conducted through intermediaries, not in a slew of headlines. This one’s had an interview, that one’s had an interview. An interview? Did Roman Abramovich ever do the rounds? Hardly. He targeted a candidate. Not always the right one, but Chelsea didn’t do badly out of it.
Manchester City the same. They didn’t interview Pep Guardiola, they love-bombed him. They brought in his allies from Barcelona. They even ensured his predecessor was a manager whose recruitment plans would not be dissimilar. Manuel Pellegrini was Pep Lite until the real thing became available. No further discussions were required.
Now there’s a link to Vincent Kompany at Chelsea. It’s all so random. This is a great job, even without European football next season. Chelsea have good players, the owner has spent money. It just needs a coach with a clear strategy who wants to mould it all into shape.
He needs to know the players he needs, who must leave to balance the finances. He needs to settle on a way of playing. Basic stuff.
Jürgen Klopp did it at Liverpool, so has Erik ten Hag with Manchester United, Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. All of those clubs have rebuilt from a low base because clubs in the elite can do that, and quickly. It can be done at Chelsea — but the management need a plan, too.
Who doesn’t know what Pochettino will bring to the party, what Nagelsmann would have brought, Luis Enrique, even Kompany? There are two directors of football at this club, and they need to interview to locate the information? Maybe that’s what made Nagelsmann’s mind up. Good managers don’t audition; and neither do smart clubs.

Pitt-Brooke is good. He’s a bit hipster but I like him.
Is Samuel a Chelsea fan? What's with that god forbid comment?Matin Samuel makes a good point here (which makes a change)

If I’m Poch and levy finally grants him some time I’d personally now tell him to Fck off, and join Chelsea / someone else. Then again, I’m a puzzle

What a truly poor article that despite its headline doesn’t actually acknowledge the real concerns for any prospective manager, ie Boehly’s seeming hands on nature and their scattergun recruitment structure.
