The board meeting something along the lines of: Poch: We’re keeping Gallagher? Boehly: No. Poch: I’ll leave if you sell him. Boehly: Even better!

Pass the ball forwards mate

Probs the reason Poch is gone ngl

I mean I’ve never heard of them until now. I’m after proven quality or highly regarded new coaches like Amorim or De Zerbi who can lead this young squad

what makes you so sure they sacked him? the announcement makes it sound like Poch decided to walk (already hinted it in a press conference) and the club is trying to save face by claiming it was a mutual decision. I'm guessing that Poch wanted to keep Trevoh and Gallagher, sell some of the new signings he didn't fancy, and replace them with some more experienced players. Instead, he saw the club refuse to renew Gallagher - his captain for most of the year - plan to sell Trevoh, and agree to sign another teenager for a fee rising up to 60m euros, so he said fuck it, I'm out.

Madueke would be a wing back and it’s a role that genuinely suits him. He has superb defensively ability and work rate for a winger. Estevao, Paez, Palmer and Nkunku can 100% share those two spots behind the striker. Also, as you mentioned before, Nkunku might go sooner then we’d have hoped

Hahaha we’re lucky Boehly and co don’t give a flying shit about fan opinion

It’s about what we do now though. There is definitely a possibility we downgrade from Poch but we could upgrade too. I’m optimistic but would’ve liked to give Poch next season and more of a say on transfers

Both Tuchel and Nagelsmann are popular managers that accept having little to no influence on transfers

Yeah I wish we didn't

Damn I'll take your savings if you just want to give it away like that

Personally I think giving a young coach like Hoeneß a chance to build is better than paying loads of money for Amorim’s buyout clause or having De Zerbi on massive contract. His system suits us and our striker situation could be solved with Guirassy who is showing how complete of a no.9 he is with only a 17 million euro release clause

They'll say "Poch has done an amazing job! You got 6th! You were midtable for most of the season!" Don't you dare ask em whose fault that is lmao. Don't you dare ask em who played Chilwell LW. Who played Enzo and Caicedo 30000 yards apart in a pivot. Who played Disasi at RB vs Brentford with Gusto and James on the bench. Who set up in a low block in extra time of a cup final where the opposition were playing u21s. Who constantly insulted the quality of his own players in the media to hide from accountability for his failures. Who refused to use his young wingers for 30 games as the dross he was playing ahead stunk it up ahead of them. Who refused to play any kind of tactics until late April. Who sold Ian Maatsen without a single LB start to his name No regrets. Well done Chelsea, the poison is gone.

All play good football. Wouldve been nice to see even 10% of it from Poch

I understand why rivals go ahead with pure lies but seeing Chelsea fans lose their mind over good news is sad

https://s3a.sofifa.net/8f0ad958d5c74d892938e00ba4b92b66bb4d5d75.png Plot twist.... Could you imagine the liverpool fans on here 😂😂 " he wasn't a good manager anyway" "You can have him"

Bring Sebastian Hoeneß and Guirassy with him🙏🏼 Perfect fit, play’s 4231/442 would work well for us and he’s used to working with a fairly young team.

If this was a few months earlier most of y’all may have gotten your wish, funny how life is. Well, seems De Zebri might be who Boehly is looking for.

Well done, Chelsea. Youve been brave and have gone away from the general media perception, a purple patch run against teams on the beach hasnt fooled you. Step in the right direction Sebastian Hoeneß has to be the main target, but I'd take Michel/RDZ/McKenna

Since day one? Can only remember begrudging acceptance; most people did not back him like that

Who is "a lot of people"?

Motta and Flick are the only two that take us forward

Scenes when they fire him after amazing finish of the season because of that lol, that would be very clearlake-esque.

I think there has to be a balance. There's no point keeping Poch if you're going to sign players he doesn't want. On the other hand, you can't just sign players that are only coming because of Poch or because they fill a specific role in the system. We should be signing players that Poch wants and are good players irrespective of the manager.

0 trophies this year for king kai

We always sell you our deadwoods what you’re waffling? 😂 While arsenal ex players move to us to upgrade and win trophies like fabregas, giroud, cole did

Both

Oh my ass thought you meant a footballer named bust

That league title double choke got to you huh

Arsenal fans are bragging about Havertz like he doesn’t show that they’re a bottling club He was a clutch player for Chelsea but can’t win a trophy at Arsenal lol

When you play for a small club Vs When you play for a big club https://s3a.sofifa.net/08431040023ef1ee62fc57214678d64f48e58913.jpg

Agree on the recruitment, but Willian Estevao is good big of a talent to not grab

Good job chelsea

Appreciated, I'm sure we can both agree, "Fuck United." May they lose and qualify us both to Europe 💪

Well what a season it was! Lots of emotions for us, lessons learned and certainly hope. Overall, definitely one of the most entertaining prem seasons… the team that scored the most goals and kept the most clean sheets didnt win the title, and Villa in the Champs League- ya only see that in the best league in the world.

Just needs the finishing part but I'd give him another season of regular playing time with nkunku. We need a little more paitence with this guy he could be serious

Bottlers are back

Jackson is soo important in this team with his hold up play.

https://s3a.sofifa.net/373833894c09e539c012971d21d2ad9b61b4db48.jpg Chelsea fan since 1948 and 55+ years of service to the club. What a legend! Name an award or something after him

For any new fan of the league or someone who wants to know more about the A-League I wrote this summary on all the teams. Please note I wrote this on the 17th of January so the table positions are inaccurate. Wellington Phoenix are the only current team from New Zealand but there was a defunct team that used to be in the A-League from New Zealand as well as a new one joining next season along with a Canberra team. They haven’t won a single trophy but are currently in 1st place. Could this be the year the finally win something? They have a rivalry with Perth Glory. Central Coast Mariners are the reigning champions of the league and are probably the best club at producing young talent. They are based in the coastal beaches of northern New South Wales. They have won 2 championships but for a while were one of the worst teams in the league before they changed their philosophy and turned it around impressively. They have the most beautiful stadium in the league and arguably in he world. They are 4th. Macarthur FC who are the newest team in the league and have the smallest fanbase. This is their 4th season of existence and they’ve won 1 trophy (more than Spurs). They’re based in South-West Sydney. They’re currently 7th in the league. My club is Sydney FC, one of the original clubs. We’re the biggest club in the country and we’ve won the most trophies and have had the best single season to date winning the double and were one game off an invincible season. The 16/17 season remains the highest points tally to date. We’ve got arguably the biggest fanbase in the A-League but that is often debated with Melbourne Victory supporters. We’re based in Sydney in the East and Northern suburbs and cities. We’ve started the season poorly and we’re 9th. Adelaide United is one of 3 clubs in the A-League that existed before the league started. They’re known for being arguably the best club at producing young talent which is often debated with Central Coast Mariners. They have a solid fanbase and fill up their stadium regularly. They are the only club in South Australia based in the states capital city of Adelaide. They’re currently 5th in the A-League. Western United are the 2nd newest team and this is their 5th season. They were A-League champions in 2022. They are based in West Victoria. They have an ageing squad and are currently bottom of the league in 12th place. Brisbane Roar are the only team in Queensland however there were 2 teams that used to be in the A-League based in Queensland that are now defunct however one of them still exists in Queensland’s 2nd tier. They were once one of the most feared teams in Australia with Ange Postecoglou as their head coach. However the last 4-5 years have been very disappointing and they have been floating around the bottom places in the table. This season they started well but their coach left on Christmas eve and they have fallen off once again. They have one of the stronger fanbases in the league. They are currently 8th in the A-League. Melbourne City (formerly known as Melbourne Heart) are one of 3 Victorian teams in the A-League and have been particularly dominant in the last few seasons. They often with the premiership but choke in the finals losing 6-1 in last seasons grand final. This season however, they have been disappointing and are currently 6th. They have a good fanbase but are outvoiced by Melbourne Victory fans. Perth Glory is the oldest club in the A-League and the only team in Western Australia. They won a lot of trophies before the A-League started but in the A-League they’ve won only 1 premiership and are yet to win a championship. The last 5 years they’ve had financial problems and have been in the bottom places in the A-League. They are currently 2nd last in 11th place. Newcastle Jets (formerly known as Newcastle United) are 1 of 3 clubs that existed before the A-League. They are based in Northern New South Wales. They have only won a single trophy being champions in 2008 after a Grand Final in over their rivals Central Coast Mariners. They are 10th place. Melbourne Victory is a club based in Victoria. They have arguably the biggest fanbase in the league. They have rivalries with Sydney FC, Melbourne City and Adelaide United. They’ve won 3 premierships and 2 championships. Recently they have been ip and down in the last couple of seasons either nearly winning it or finishing near the bottom. Currently this season they are unbeaten and are 2nd place. Western Sydney Wanderers are based in the Western Suburbs of Sydney and have been in the A-League for over 10 years. In the A-League they’ve won nothing but they are the only club in Australia to have won an Asian Champions League. They have one of the best fanbases in the league. Last season they broke the drought of choking finals football but were knocked out by us in a Sydney derby defeat at home. They are currently 3rd.

Probably their best ever season comes to an end

That genuinely felt like the greatest moment of my life hahaha. I love the fever man we're amazing

… and two-time UEL winners

No way they flexed Europa League qualification on 2-time UCL winners 😭

Well..wouldve never thought after this Abysmal season we would be ending up 6th and maybe/hopefully even 5th. Some of us had that prediction at the start..some said Top 4. Just close the season strongly my side thats all we ask. Keep it up 🔵

who wants the lottery numbers? https://s3a.sofifa.net/d0d0f332cb63d0e1883bde4ab32d843ed37893cb.png

I see Onana doing the same thing that got DDG slandered and I don't see any one talk about it

look at the bench though. no academy players for once and that's a positive thing !

https://s3a.sofifa.net/48b9b8fa288643a0e686fd7c7dd8d5af60e88e7a.gif

Now that AWB is leaving, we need to go for Geertruida. Perfect profile, can play CB, RB. Aerial threat, tall, fast, strong, 1 year left on contract, etc. Need him before Slot signs him for Liverpool

The devs at EA knew this glitch would be meme worthy

Shit club finally bottled it

Today is a good day 😌

Trust the process is what they say

Poch in. We need more than a year to see where we’re at. He has been an upgrade over Potter. If he starts poorly next season then sack quickly

I’m afraid your last sentence might happen.

I mean if the table was based on 2024 points we would be top 4

Look at this list of 90 rated players you mong https://s3a.sofifa.net/6aaddcef70372274b15545399652ae96bc9411c0.jpg

Will go down as a great chairman ngl. Although he will be notoriously hated by rivals
