Surely any self respecting manager would surely be aware of the mess we're in and wait for a better opportunity. Premier League jobs are not that common (he said with hope) so hopefully someone is game.

If it goes tits up that’s his Premier League chances gone. He’ll be back managing at mid-table Serie A sides. ....... with £5m in his Bank account. 1

cityfanlee23 Posted 27 May 2024 Posted 27 May 2024 If he does go I wish him well, something about his personality I like and I wanted to believe in his project. But we do not have the money he needs to make it work, and he's way too stubborn to adapt his system to the players we are likely to bring in. People seem to forget that it's Rudkin we are relying on to make the transfers work. Atleast at Chelsea he will have 762 players to choose from, and I think with a big budget if they move lots of players on Enzo could do okay there. Cannot blame him for leaving if it is indeed true that the club lied to him, thanks for promotion, his name will be in the history books as helping us in one of the most important seasons in our recent history and for that we must be thankful that it worked out. 2

Rodgers has been at this much longer than Enzo, who is still building his contacts.

Popular Post Mickyblueeyes Posted 27 May 2024 Popular Post Posted 27 May 2024 Sometimes in life you get a role, opportunity that you are no where near ready for. But regardless, you’ve got to take it. This is absolutely right for Enzo to take. I think it’s early for him BUT understand the need to snap at it. All the best. Thanks for taking us back up, we’ll be fine. 10

God, I can’t understand how dull it must be to support another club. 1

If he is looking elsewhere then we should get rid etc. How exactly? If he is either not offered or decides to turn down chelsea (or anyone else for that matter) he is still under contract here. To sack him, simply because he showed interest in an opportunity at a top club would cost us millions in compensation. He either goes (in which case we gain £10m) or he stays. 1
RonnieTodger Posted 27 May 2024 Posted 27 May 2024 Any other team and I’d wish him the best. I just cannot stand that circus of a football club. 1
koop. Posted 27 May 2024 Posted 27 May 2024 I'm a big Enzo fan - after all he did what he was employed to do and got us promoted, as champions. Wish nothing but the best and we go again 1
sylofox Posted 27 May 2024 Posted 27 May 2024 Bank the 10m then bring Enzo back in October when Chelsea sack him.
StevieH Posted 27 May 2024 Posted 27 May 2024 I hope Chelsea are ready to watch tippy tippy football. Can see them losing patience very quickly

If Chelsea have requested a meeting with the club because they can meet Maresca’s release clause then it’s almost an obligation among all parties to at least hear each other out.
jonny_wright Posted 27 May 2024 Posted 27 May 2024 Chelsea could be the reason we meet PSR this summer, jury was out on Enzo, I don’t think he would have done well here next season if wedded to this style 1
