He doesn't know how, so he'd need to give up full control of recruitment to someone who does, but he doesn't trust people enough...

I've seen numerous interviews with him and he always just came across as a decent bloke to me. What has he done that makes him smug? Not saying he isn't; just genuinely curious as to where this has come from.

I’d never heard of Arne Slot prior to Contes sacking.
I think he might be the sensible choice though.
Kinda like having a sporty car that costs a fortune to run/insure/tax and it’s a bit highly strung and you know deep down that you’d be better off with a 320d even though it’s not the most thrilling choice, and you get one and you grow to like it. You love the reliability, it’s always aims to please, never let’s you down, the tax bill comes through and it’s £20, the insurance is nothing, it’ll travel the length of the country on about half a tank and you grow to absolutely think it’s the best car you’ve owned.
I think Arne Slot would be the 320d of managerial appointments.

Hope?
It does feel strange for them to rip up 1 project manager less than a year in, to go with another one.

Poch represents himself so don't believe that for a second.
Although I wish it was true!
Probably just people running with it because he managed Liverpool + has been uncomplimentary about us in the past.
But football fans are fickle. It's like if you look at the first page of the Mourinho thread (which begins, I think, when he rejoined Chelsea) and compare it to after when he joined us, overall opinion about Mourinho, the man changes radically.

Yeah, there is a lot of bandwagoning that goes on, rather than people coming up with their own opinion. I've asked in other forums to also back up the Rodgers stuff, so far I've yet to be shown anything to back up their point of view. Each to their own, of course, but it seems weird how certain people get labelled, and people just then parrot it as if it's a fact.
I think Conte will be the last of the truly "elite" managers ,with a history of success, that we'll attract in a while I reckon.
Surely other top level managers will think that if Mourinho and Conte can't make a success of it, who can?
Poch or up and coming managers for us really. And that's how Levy likes it.
We know our place don't we?

Just got a feeling they'll end up going for Enrique. Don't know why but just feels like they're not all in on Nagelsmann...Hope?

It's interesting watching the various ups and downs of candidates in here and trying to sort the wheat from the chaff which i am completely incapable of doing. What does seem true though is that JN is likely the safest bet for high level results if his timing is mutually acceptable. There are a whole bunch of hipos (hi potential) in Slot, Gallardo, Amorim. Postynotes, and others that have significant question marks. Then there is a lower level of potential such as Rogers and Franks. Poch, di Zerbi and Potter are in more than one category. Still all in for JN but if not him, i want one of the hi potentials

Enrique does seem a much better fit for them.

Yep they're collecting talent and spending like a win-now club, but trying to act like they're in a project phase. Think Enrique straddles that line better than Nagelsmann does and has a better track record of managing big squads and egos than Nagelsmann too

It would be typical that Chelsea end up with a project manager like Nagelsmann with a win now squad.
and then we get Enrique a win now manager with a project squad

Levy likes the big manager appointment. Hopefully not this time.
Which if still true, is good news. For Poch represents himself, so if his representative is in London negotiating Pochettino's potential return to Spurs, then that is a good sign. Think through how Petrosyan's tweet can be variously interpreted!
It may just be a rumour and gossipy stuff, as many of these blogs, websites and chitty-chatty items tend to be — i.e fluff — so it's as 'true' as anything else in the Forest of Dreams where very little that is true in the proper, traditional sense of the word is actually the case.
