Dahnsouff

But it has been reported he is a candidate, yet no odds, just seems weird. But then again I am not a gambling man.

We got promoted as champions and this change before it fails attitude is just silly.

Let go drop £50 on him leaving, one sec…

https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/chelsea/next-permanent-manager Does this suggest it’s all just standard fan rage/joy fishing? Or do I need to go to Specsavers pronto?

Perhaps but I cannot see how a new person would do much better tbh, I mean Enzo has spent a year moulding what he can, the next guy starts from zero. But. That’s the nature of change, so if he goes to Chelsea, so be it, just feel it will set us further back in terms of preparation.

What an absolute circus

John Terry ticks all sort of boxes

Why is the ship not steady under Enzo? The issues are a club level, no manager is going to fix that, well maybe prime Nige.

Enzo would be loving that

Isn’t that what we have now? One people want to discard based on fear of failure at a later point.

He has a release clause. If they will not stretch to 10m for him, they aren’t being serious.

We certainly seem to be shopping at the sales if these links are to be believed, but if we have done our due diligence it could be a welcome return to form Or alternatively a Sunday League donkey derby.

Looking on the Shed End, general consensus is that top 4 or GTFO

Will still want Enzo for Cup competitions

Why would Potter come? Feels like he believes he deserves better. (I have zero basis for this slanderous opinion)

Clearly this deal is just a cunning ploy to smuggle Fabien Reese into the country so we finally land the dream signing.

Will Still

If his value can be recognised in accounts, and I see that is a current discussion point, then ok there is a benefit, but the invisible cost of the disruption to the squad and planning feels substantial. However, I also recognise that I like him and would rather he remained as it’s a project I can see baring fruit, so I factor that in and recognise my personal preference (bias?) My concern would be that starting from fresh is rarely quick, and this year more than almost any other, we could do with coming out of the blocks quickly. But nobody is bigger than the club.

I get the money would be helpful in our reported situation, it how is this even a comparison? A manager who has influence across the team, positively or not, is not comparable to a player worth X.

Make me a bit sad as the same malcontents will be bitching at the change when we are perceived to be under performing in their eyes.

Don't feel we are too far down the Enzo roadmap for a change of tactic to be a problem should we go in a different direction, but that seems unlikely we would anyway.

No style guarantees we will survive, as pointed out by @ClaphamFox this season has seen that demonstrated very well. Would not criticise him going to Chelsea, but it would feel like a "cop out", he would be going to a club to continue someone else's work, a caretaker in an inevitably short term role. There is no doubt he would do his reputation no harm by going there, as it would surely improve from the very fact he was at Chelsea. The romantic in me wants to believe he wants to create something here, to build a team and not just return to the pump again and again to purchase ever greater chances of success. Seems highly unlikely he has much of a chance anyway!

Pretty sure this was said around last Christmas. Dare say that if you working to an agenda you set, chance are you will usually be right.
