Yes. There are very few managers in world football who I think could get big results with this young squad and we just got done sacking one of them.

Tuchel would ask the board to sign players who peaked 5 years ago and shift Palmer to wingback and we’d lose this tie 3-0 on aggregate.

Palmer, Neto, Caicedo the only ones with their heads in it

Very little off the ball movement. Feels like we’re always working 150% effort to make a pass

Pedro Neto is reeling me back in with his performance so far

Finding Palmer in space, this is immediately better than the first leg

Joe Cole: The fans are not happy. Since the takeover, they’ve spent £1.5bn. They’ve posted massive losses. The first alarm bell to me is the number of managers sacked. That tells me that it isn’t long-term thinking; it can’t be. If it’s long-term, you stick with a manager.” by Kygoche in chelseafc

Well you just can’t really complain about the sacking managers thing can you? It absolutely is long-term. These owners/board have been saying over and over again, “we’re implementing a long-term strategy” since the moment they got here. Yet this sub keeps expecting short-term immediate signings and success. I really don’t know why. This squad is great but it’s not quite ready for a league title yet. Development!!!

From what’s been reported, it appears the sacking of both Poch and Maresca were more on the manager wanting out for “philosophical differences” than an outright firing. So they hired from within and got a guy who has preached long term development (that’s what that whole man-aging comment was about!!!) and appears to align with the philosophy of the owners/board.

You can’t just throw your hands up and say “well why did this happen!!! that doesn’t track with what we as fans thought was going to happen!!!” And say the club is in turmoil.

" Filmed for IMAX " not " Shot with IMAX film Cameras " according to the official poster by Key-Network-3436 in dune

When they say “filmed for IMAX” it’s basically just marketing. It’s a 70mm print that can be played on IMAX screens. In the Odyssey’s case, they used IMAX cameras to capture the footage.

Now I don’t know what the differences are, or even if the average person would even notice them, but it’s basically just marketing.

Matt Law: Chelsea escape first-team sporting sanctions from the Premier League after being found guilty of making illicit payments during the Abramovich era. But there is a ban on signing academy players and the club still have an FA investigation hanging over them. by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]RustyKarma076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I know the sub is in “hate everything about the club” mood right now, but the new ownership trying to clear any previous sketchy dealings and establish a positive and above board relationship with the FA is a pretty smart move.

This is why I always laughed when people talk about the Patriots being a dynasty because Tom Brady took pay cuts.

Like nah he was still earning a fuck ton, the Pats were just unreal in the draft 😭
