Like I mentioned to someone on twitter, no serious club builds its future around one person - manager or player. They should be able to get someone in to carry on their plans.

Perhaps Poch? The loser is jobless... :lol:
Yes they shouldn't but this is really a blow for them. Let's see what happens at both clubs. Pochettino at Brighton... Hmmm. It is hit or miss with Poch. Perhaps he will try to bring Dele Alli again to Brighton :lol:
Definitely! Potter is one of the best coaches in the league, hands down! Chelsea is very lucky.

Brighton will be foooooolish to hire Poch. His reputation is in tatters at the moment and his failure at PSG means most clubs will run away from him. He did well at Espanyol and Southampton, so maybe he will be able to help them. But I think he may have a super-inflated idea of himself that he will think they are beneath him.

Report: Edouard Mendy Rejects Initial Contract Offer From Chelsea
However, it seems negotiations have hit a wall after the player turned down Chelsea's initial contract proposal.
According to Standard Sport journalist Nizaar Kinsella, the number 16 was offered inferior terms to his back-up goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who had negotiated a £190,000-a-week contract before Mendy arrived in 2018.

In fact, the Senegalese is one of the lowest paid players in Tuchel's squad earning around £50,000 per week, despite appearing over 40 times across both of the seasons he has been a blue.

He should improve his performances first. He will get what is due to him.
interesting.

Like many players at Chelsea, he is in a dip. So you see the difference between you an I, I recognize he is a good keeper (sans penalties) that is in the dip.

Chelsea appoint Graham Potter to succeed Thomas Tuchel as manager

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62838065

Chelsea have appointed Graham Potter as their new manager following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.

Potter has left fellow Premier League club Brighton to take up the role and has signed a five-year deal with the Blues.

The 47-year-old said he was "incredibly proud and excited to represent Chelsea".

Potter's first game in charge will be an away derby with fellow west London club Fulham on Saturday at 12:30 BST.

"We are thrilled to bring Graham to Chelsea," said the Stamford Bridge club's chairman Todd Boehly.

"Not only is he extremely talented on the pitch, he has skills and capabilities that extend beyond the pitch which will make Chelsea a more successful club.

"He has had a major impact at his previous clubs and we look forward to his positive impact at Chelsea.

"We look forward to supporting him, his coaching team and the squad in realising their full potential in the coming months and years."

This is a very good hire for Chelsea on paper. We shall see how it translates to on field performances.

Is he Chief Oga Boss enough? One of his trusty sidekicks arrived in a white Volvo, how is Pierre-Emerick Lamborghiniyang supposed to take his utterances serious? One can only hope Ogochukwu Potter arrived in sizeable agbada, with sleeves more Al Hadji than a GDP embezzling state Governor.

Starting line-up will be very interesting, does Sterling play as one of two Tenors or stunt-double as Leo Trossard at left wingback? Is Ben Chilwell recalled after being well-chilled on the pine? Is Cucurella left-sided centre back or marauding wingback? Papa Tiago, eased into retirement or still a prominent piece of the puzzle. And then to midfield, would come as no surprise to see Big Loftus given a run of it. With the World Cup to come and Les Anglais desperate for game time, in the absence of Field Marshall Ngo 'bebe' Kante, a quartet of Billy Britonians could emerge, much to the joys of the rule Britannia singing fooligans in the stands. Loftus-Cheeck, Gallagher, Mount, Sterling. Papa Auba vs Kai Havertz for the lead role.

Interesting appointment, potentially exciting times. First things first, a G-Wagon with the necessary trimmings with the signing-on fee to command the respect of the myriad Afs in office.

Football is not played in the EPL. Tuchel is one of the best but since England does not know football, he is gone.

In the statement on Twitter, he wrote: 'This is one of the most difficult statements I have ever had to write - and it is one which I hoped I would not need to do for many years. I am devastated that my time at Chelsea has come to an end.



'This is a club where I felt at home, both professionally and personally. Thank you so much to all the staff, the players and the supporters for making me feel very welcome from the start.

'The pride and joy I felt at helping the team to win the Champions League and the Club World Cup will stay with me forever. I am honoured to have been a part of this club’s history and the memories of the last 19 months will always have a special place in my heart.
Balo,
This firing really hurt Tuchel.
I hope he gets back on his feet
and back in the game soon.
Very good coach.

Given that the season just started, it is abit premature. However, Chelsea fumbled towards the finish line last season and the trend continues. He (and the scouting team) were unable to attract too talent despite money on the table. It certainly reflects rumblings behind the scenes.

Hopefully his time off allows him to reflect and emerge as a better manager and tactician. Thanks for the memories.

Exactly. I put this sacking on him. Apart from the on-field failings, he had been doing a great job in front of the mic defending the club.
And then everything got to him. The man went through a divorce, went through the sanctions, lost the guys he trusted on the job. He only needed that extra push to keep up with the new management and the job would have been his for a long time.

Unfortunately, Chelsea had to press the reset button again. I wish him the best.
