Were they not talking last week of extending Tuchel’s contact at Chelsea?
New owners, same horrible club

That's the thing, I always thought Abramovic was responsible for the managerial sackings occurring so frequently, but maybe not? Chelsea have had an indifferent start, but it looks knee-jerk. Then again, we have no room to talk after Maloney.

We’ve both had around 10/11 managers since 2010
Difference is they sack managers after they’ve won trophies

Yeah definitely, typical of Chelsea, a poor couple of months and you’re out.

I read that until last few weeks, they'd won 9 of the their last 19 at home.

I'm not a Chelsea fan but I can't say they ever seem like they're that great or on a run. I know he did well early on however.

I don't think the fans rated him either.

He is on a good thing at Brighton, he needs to look at Chelsea carefully as they are a bit of a basket case at times!

His stock is high now, rightfully so. All it takes is for Brighton to drop off, which is likely as difficult to keep punching above your weight. He might not get another chance to manage someone like Chelsea where money is no object. I think he probably has to take the job.

Yes, if offered the job, he will take it for sure. Not being a big name, he will need to produce immediate results or face pressure quickly. I'd imagine plenty of Chelsea fans would want a superstar replacement.

Will be a bit of a gamble for Chelsea this…no European experience …never worked at a big club. Great to see different names getting a chance though

He does have European experience. A very good run with Ostersund.

I think Potter is a bit of a star. Took a big leap going to Sweden, a really rough time for his family over there as well, and it's paid off. Billy Reid his assistant too.

I REALLY rate Potter, but he is a manager that needs time to get players to buy into his ideas and mentality. He also has some off the wall methods that might be hard to sell to superstar premadonnas..we will see !

Ok. Some European experience. …but you get my point - still quite a gamble , for all parties tbh …nowhere near the CV of the head coaches they usually go for ..good to see some different thinking

Was actually my first thought…..Then he’s quality so if potter does move any decent manager has to fancy him (you’d hope)

**Renfrew_Hibby** · 07-09-2022 03:59 PM

Quite a journey for Billy Reid. Hamilton to Chelsea in what a decade?

Chelsea are going with the DOF structure and Tuchel was getting less and less involved in transfers, Potter works happily with a DOF and is known for his coaching making players better. It was clear things weren't right even during their summer tour of the States, then the comments about the players in recent games usually means your times up.

£20 million settlement fee to Brighton for Potter. Seemingly a world record for a Manager

Postecoglu favourite for the Brighton job.

Pochettino was favourite when I last checked, either way can't see either going to Brighton, surely?

Genuinely hope he stays at Celtic. Not that I want either of the ugly sisters here but if we have to have them then Postecoglu wiping his erse with Sevco is ok by me.

Think he'll hang off until Rogers is sacked at Leicester, might well be offered that gig.

Strange wanting Celtic to dominate, when they're as horrible as Rangers.

Too many Celtic likers in our support.
