Sky betting suspended. Noise from the Chelsea fans on Twitter seems to be them resigned to the fact that Maresca's the one.
Wild if so. Leicester fans were done with him a month or so ago.
I hope they get Maresca, he's awful.
I'll be annoyed if they get Frank, he might actually make them look competent next season.
Hopefully his first signing to replace Gallagher?
If McKenna turned down the chavs, rather than the other way around, I think that's a smart move from him. Cesspit of a club which could easily fuck his very promising managerial career up.
I think Brighton would be a smart move for him right now.
You may be right, but I'm not sure these owners see the coach in the same way that we have always done. I think part of the reason they called time with Pochettino, is that they have no interest in a personality coach who helps shape the future of the club. They seem to see the coach as someone who serves their recruitment plan... Rather than their recruitment plan being what serves the coach. I don't think that can or will work thankfully.I think they'll get De Zerbi, Maresca makes no sense.
It wouldn't surprise me if they're briefing journalists saying Maresca so that fans will be more excited if it ends up being De Zerbi instead.
That's why I think Thomas Frank is the best option, he has a similar role at Brentford and has a proven record as a coach.You may be right, but I'm not sure these owners see the coach in the same way that we have always done.

De Zerbi's complained about the Brighton board in press conferences at times. What the hell would he do about the Chelsea board?
This has to some smokescreen, Maresca makes absolutely no sense. Especially when there's other decent managers available.Quite amazing really. I don’t know anything of him but if Leicester fans wanted him sacked at one point then it’s a weird one. He’ll be out of the job in 12 months in all likelihood.
