Wasn’t part of RDZ’s issue at Brighton the lack of transfer say/involvement? If so, then I don’t see how it would work well at all with Chelsea
Yes. And Brighton couldn’t handle the league and playing in Europe. It makes absolutely no sense why we would pursue him. If it ends up being him I highly doubt he even lasts the season.
They want to be the youngest and also the best team, and can’t seem to understand why that isn’t working.
This dudes agent had Liverpool writers reporting the deal was all but finalized, and then it comes out there were never even talks. Doing the same shit with Chelsea.
Studied? Really? How long did that take to do, 3 minutes of checking each season’s PL table? Whoever they choose will be fired by the start of next season.
So they got turned down by McKenna and then gave Maresca a 5 year deal cause they believe he is special
Anytime you can pay 10 million to sign manager with 1 year of experience that has never managed in a top flight to a 5 year deal you have to do it.
People will make fun of Chelsea giving a five year deal. But it is the option for a 6th year being included that tickles me. Don’t want Real poaching him after year 5.
This will be the guy that finally works out. I'm confident they'll give him all the time and leeway necessary to build a winning team.
Would be cool if he* went full on FIFA video game mode and went and worked at a low level club and got them moving up through the ranks via promotion. *This isn't special to Pep, I think it would be awesome in Jose, Klopp, or any other well known manager did it.
Giving this dude a contract until 2029 is a choice. Is it that impressive to get promoted with a budget 10x the average of clubs without parachute payment. They were very close to choking and ending up in the playoffs as well
Nothing was learned from the Potter experience. I have no confidence that anyone in the ownership group or the sporting directors has a fucking clue what they are doing.
Wait till Hansi trades de Jong for Kimmich and Goretzka and the keystone cops of defensive midfield take their show on the road.
Fat chance. It’s fucking impossible to get people to leave, partly because we love to over pay people, but also because the city is the earth’s mecca.
