Always odd when a club builds thier entire transfer window around someone just to sack them so soon. Not really sure they have the attacking quality to be better than they have been over the last 18 months

[B0151?]

He’s quite good at engineering this situation, gets a payoff, finds a new job, rinse and repeat.

I mean it's more classic Chelsea than anything

[Barefoot Doctor]

They should probably go for Potter, but not sure he'd go considering Boehly is proving to be absolutely unequivocally bonkers.

They’ve bought a shit ton of players. Quite the scattergun approach but annoyingly I’d say there’s a fair bit for a competent new coach, who gets the buy in from the players to work with. Is Pochettino the obvious choice then? They quite like they’re random Italian appointments over the years…any other contenders?

Chelsea Football Club part company with Thomas Tuchel.

I got the impression they just signed whoever Boehly fancied after downing his morning coffee.

[JRed]

Bizarre timing. Give him all that money to spend then sack him.

Eddie Howe will be squirming with Tommy Sportswash on the market.

[AlphaDelta]

The highlight of Tuchel's stay in the UK was his handbags with Conte and the award winning videos that appeared on Twitter after.

[DelTrotter]

I'd imagine they'd try and appoint whoever gets a bit of praise in the media on that particular week or is linked to another club, seemed to be their transfer strategy.

They've got good players, but it's a top 4ish side and that's what they've been under Tuchel and still look like. An attack of Sterling, Havertz, mount and Pulisic/ziyech just isn't enough to compete at the top of the league. Guess the thinking is a new manager gets a few extra points over a season than Tuchel to make top 4 more likely. But unless he's pissed off the players not sure say Pochettino is a better a manager.

Bring back Ranieri

[MonsLibpool]

They are a top 4 side at best. They won't win the league with Tuchel as their manager.

[Lfc19ynwa]

Seems a bit mad.

Pochettino the obvious choice.

The obvious choice is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson , they love a fat Tory at the bridge

oh god, please share

was so funny. he's such a snide coward, he'd never looked more pleased with himself

He definitely knows how to appeal to the american businessman

[Ray K]

Tuchel was quite shocked to hear the news

[Cracking Left Foot]

I'll miss his rap skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaXvwwp6llQ

Fuckwitted Pob lookalike Michael Gove is a Chelsea fan and available!😂😂

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

Aubameyang did it.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Mental.

Just mental.

[thaddeus]

Rodgers will be kicking himself that he's had such a bad start.  Potter might get an interview.

Max Allegri maybe.

How Boehly has acted so far it could be anyone.  It would be great if he appointed Emma Hayes.

[MrGrumpy]

Sean Dyche likes this.

[steampie]

Hodgebounce?

Literal laugh out loud from this - thank you 😃

[Bread]

I hear former Chelsea midfielder Scott Parker is available.

[Fromola]

New manager bounce just in time to face us then, is it?

Yeah. Hated playing against Chelsea under Tuchel though.

[BarryCrocker]

Leicester hoping to God that Chelsea approach them so Rodgers can go 'home'.

[Elzar]

Who we fancying?

Low? Pochettino? Maybe they will just throw another shit load of money at someone already in a job.

[kavah]

Lampard?

[scouseman]

why would they let Tuchel buy everyone under the sun and then sack him. Football gone mad but glad we don't have to deal with it. Bohley playing real life football manager and it will be at Chelseas expense LOL

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Only one man for the job now.

[JRed]

Lampard?

Was just going to say that.
Frank would love to go home and escape the relegation fight at the pit.

[Barefoot Doctor]

Looking at the Premier League, the only managers I could even begin to imagine them going for are Potter or Frank. Even Boehly wouldn't be crazy enough to look at Rodgers right now.

When you look abroad, there just isn't much depth in terms of elite managers. Nagelsmann comes to mind but surely wouldn't leave Bayern right now. Pochettino just feels the logical move, especially as he's out of work.

Not sure that was their “strategy”. It just seemed to be like Buehly spaffing the cash like a drunken sailor on shore leave.

[tubby]

Hope it's not Potter.

[Zlen]

That is some short fuse their new owner has. They replace half a team and he can't wait a few weeks for them to get at least a bit used to playing with each other. Crazy, but not unexpected. Who next is the question? Pochetino perhaps, not many great managers out there.

[Bergersrightwingviews]

Bonkers.

If anything, Chelsea are even more mental than they were under Abramovich.

[Mr Mingebag Squid]

Surely they need someone to get the best out of their 400 defenders and there's only one man for that - Simeone!

[JRed]

SSN reckon they will approach Potter. Would be a good choice really.
I would love it if Frank went back, just for the fewm at the pit.
