    It’s only fine if they have a good reason to not think he’s a top contender for the job. I can’t see any possible reason for Poch to not at least be in the running, other than the Board’s ego and desire to not admit they fucked up. I’d probably rather have Nagelsmann but I do think it’s mad...

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    Only just got home from the match, disgusted with the way 80% of the stadium treated Sanchez today. Felt like people were revelling in his failure, fucking grim stuff. Gave him a standing ovation when he was subbed and shouted at some of the ****s jeering him near me but not going to make a...

    Yeah stupid match going fans, should’ve ignored the tens of thousands of people there singing it with them and listened to some contrarian on SC. Lots of ways to support Tottenham but I’ll never understand people who condescend those who actually pay and give up time to support the team in...

    Who? Who are these players who will be issues if Poch comes back but not if we have another manager? Kane and Son? They’re our best players and we’d lucky to have both next season regardless. Davies and Dier? Shouldn’t be more than squad options at best regardless of who comes in. Sanchez...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    Show me a manager who looks at our current squad and still doesn’t want/need Maddison and I’ll show you a manager we shouldn’t even consider appointing.

    Honestly, people creaming themselves on here over managers who haven't shown 1/100th the ability Poch has. Debating whether he's good enough for us when the biggest barrier to bringing him back is the fact that other, much better teams want him too, it's ridiculous.

    Slot has only been coaching since 2019, his first season was cancelled half way through because of COVID and he's never managed outside of the Eredivisie. The guy has only managed for one full season at the professional level so far, if he's under consideration why shouldn't Kompany be? They're...

    The best coaches will always want to coach in the best league. If 2-3 of the other top sides were looking for new managers we might be in trouble but as is, only Chelsea will be considering going into the market this summer.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Of course it has something to do with it. He has coached several of the best clubs in Europe for a decade and has reached the CL quarter finals once. The Europa League tournament you talk about was the COVID one that was played as it's own mini tournament after the league season has ended. He...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I want us to recruit younger players and develop them, it's one of my main issues with Conte. But I don't see this supposed core of older players who have been here for years are supposedly dragging us down. I think that just like the complaints about the "same players giving up on every...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    It's hardly a reach to say that when Conte, one of the most demanding managers in football, tells athletes to run, he does not mean a 7.5 minute per KM pace that any couch potato could do. Go look at Conte's European record the last 10 years, you'll see how it was an issue then. I don't think...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I would put a lot of money that that is exactly what Arteta and Arsenal were aiming for this season and look at them now. Honestly I think we over complicate this. It's not that we're cursed, it's not that we've had a rotten mentality throughout the club for decades, it's that every season we...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    It's 20% extra of what players already run on the pitch. And I think it is deeply, deeply implausible that when Antonio Conte orders our players to run, what he actually means is a very light jog. What would the point in that even be? So actually, it's probably >20% of the total hard running...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Forcing players to run 2KM before the warm up for months, while watching us look shattered in every single first half. How the fuck can the thought not occur that you might be the problem here Antonio? And to continue to do that in the most congested season in the history of football, while...

    Just wait until Conte gets his hands on the guy who’s been starting Hojberg as much as possible all season.
