If Poch takes Chelsea down, I'll genuinely forgive and forget this whole disgraceful episode of him taking that job in the first place

Yep. They overachieved for years, winning stuff etc when they came from humble beginnings. This is just readdressing the imbalance. The problem is most of their fans are fairly new so they don’t remember their history (the dog track anyone?) and hence why they can’t fathom this now. My husband is Chelsea and is just not fussed anymore (bit like I felt last season). You bet I’m loving it.

They could of course sack him, it just means they'd have to find even more money to balance the books. It would be more likely they'd put him on gardening leave to spread the cost, but even then they will need to bring someone else in which again costs.

Potter's still available?
Paying a 3rd separate manager when they have to raise 100m or so by July sounds like perfect business sense for such a financial savant like Boehly

Think Rob's just asking if, not implying.
I couldn't see him getting sacked before the Carabao final because Boehly isn't Levy and Poch isn't Mourinho, but I'm less sure now. The financials do seem to be the main thing that might keep him in the job.

PL teams need to learn and stop appointing coaches of fierce rivals.
Mourinho, Benitez, Conte, Graham now Poch.
The pressure is on them immediately and fans already have their knives out.
Said when they appointed Poch he would need at least 18 months to really get them into gear and he wouldnt even be given 6 months.
Well we are into 8 months and they want him gone.

I suppose it depends on the players.
If their is mutiny, no chance they beat Liverpool
But then again, Chelsea need to be thinking longterm not a short term coach who can win a league cup.
That wont save them

So true.
Has it EVER worked? Hiring an ex-rival manager?
I can’t think of one example where it’s gone well, fighting a losing battle from day 1.

Didn’t he get Southampton relegated then jump ship back to Pompey?

To be fair we were fully behind Conte from word go. He was the master of his own downfall here.
Agree that it has never worked though, as a rule. Managers need to be able to form their own unique attachments to important clubs in this country. If a bond already exists somewhere else for whatever reason it just doesn’t seem to work.

Lol true I didn't say it worked every time but certainly when he first joined us he turned around a team in a pretty dire situationDidn’t he get Southampton relegated then jump ship back to Pompey?
