Come on then Chelsea, in for Rodgers you go!

 

Afterall “little old Leicester are lucky to have him”, he’s an “elite manager”, who “hasn’t been backed at Leicester”, not to mention Chelsea wanna be Leicester, Kante, Drinkwater, Chilwell, Fofana….

 

You wanna “be careful what you wish for” if you don’t act on the chance of getting Rodgers.

Potter is going to cost them 16m if they want him apparently

Exactly so let's call it £10m with Rodgers. Mates rates

[st albans fox]

I find it v worrying for the rest of the prem if Chelsea really are targeting potter.  It means that they are intending running the club properly and not like the circus it was under abramovich 

[Tuna]

TalkSPORT reporting Chelsea approach for Potter, apparently has a 16m buyout.

[Number 6]

If Chelsea do go for Potter I can see Brighton making exactly the kind of appointment we should be looking at.

I can completely see that

Does Potter have the character for the job?

Probably not high enough profile for the US owners

Chelsea have looked shocking for ages.

 

I just understand backing so much to then sack.

Bet none of the signings were Tuchels. He wanted Werner and Havertz and look how they turned out. The owner was buying the players.

Spending £273m on a bucket load of players and then sacking the manager a week later is arguably a definition of a club run like a circus.

Man got sacked for getting out done by lille ffs

No he didn't he got sacked for getting outdone by Lille, he fell out with the board because he's a gobby tw*t. They drew with Lille (not in his last game) and were probably going to win the league anyway. You know he got sacked in December right?

 

And how my comment was worthy of a laughing face I don't know when you are clearly clueless.

[fox_up_north]

Chelsea will either get Poch or Potter. I genuinely think we need to get our skates on because Brighton are basically us from 2 years ago. They'll no doubt end up with someone great and we'll end up with

 

*Checks notes*

 

Still Brendan

It's a good job Potter isn't good enough for us.  We've cleared the way for Chelsea here.

This might speed up our decision making. Sacking a manager means you can get to the front of the queue for who's good and who's available.

Agree in principle but I suspect there's different levels of quality in managers. Don't tell Rodgers (except via national media) but he lacks that bit of quality.

was already thinking we needed to get ahead of Villa. Chelsea will be looking at bigger fish, but Aston Villa are in direct competition with us. 

I imagine Chelsea have already narrowed it down to Poch or Potter. Suspect they will go for Poch, as when do Chelski ever go for a "lesser name" and up and coming manager. (Lampard aside)

I might spend the day digging up the old posts "I'm not sure about Potter, Brighton are only 15th"

Circus - 5 league titles, 5 FA cups, 3 league cups, 2 Champions Leagues, 2 Europa Leagues, a Super Cup and a Club World Cup

 

Not a circus - Appointing Graham Potter

[STUHILL]

I like Potter a lot, so hope he does get that job, but I still think they will try get a bigger name. Is Poch a bigger name? Slightly. 

We need to get a move on though, as I can see us, Villa, Brighton, Bournemouth and maybe another in the next week or so, all looking for a new manager.

It was more an ironic dig on my part.
