I very much doubt that members of an Internet forum directly got a manager sacked, regardless of attending matches or not.

Nuno was sacked because he was playing awful football with the players at his disposal. Arguably not helped by Kane downing tools and playing within himself.

Point of order this is the same Euro expert was regularly banging one out over Leggo Man. Now remind me about the huge tactical expertise he had when started at Arse...yeah right. People not getting how bad Postecoglou and Men at Work are. Oh and....

Two sources confirm Chelsea are interested in German manager who really likes Graham Potter

Two sources confirm that Chelsea are interested in Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic, but it would be tough to bring him to the club.

What does it say that Chelsea looked at Terzic but went for Maresca after one year in the Championship instead?

What put them off?

We've moved on from Chelsea cast offs to managers that they didn't even think were good enough to hire in the first place.

FWIW I'm not even against Terzic if Ange goes, I'm just saying any coach we bring in, is going to end up having something that the negative loop decides isn't good enough.

VDV had hamstring issues before he joined. This latest one seems like we have issues with the way we recuperate players from injuries.

Davies was very clearly from overplaying at his age. And now broke down when returning from injury.

Odobert was a classic Ange first season hamstring, which IS something that apparently comes with the Ange training style and then apparently the players are usually more resilient to it in the second season.. but somehow he is another one who broke down when he came back from injury.

So, if we actually look at it, what we have now is a much bigger issue with players breaking down when they return from injury. It seems like a systematic problem but how can anyone say that systematic issue lies with the manager when he's saying it's the first time in his career that he's seen it but was very clear that first season his teams pick up small strains when they adapt to the intensity..

He’s dealing with elite athletes now. Something he’s never done before.

Finely tuned human beings. Performing at the peak of physical activity.

Easy way to look at it. He was used to dealing with high performance Vauxhalls. Now he’s dealing with F1 cars.

You need to adjust….. which we all know he’s shite at doing.
So I wonder if he’s changed his approach to training players at all.

He's been talking absolute fucking lies for weeks and flat out refusing to acknowledge irrefutable facts.
He's either trolling or seriously unstable.
Thought he was a good poster for a while but completely lost his marbles now.

Stuck on ignore so I don't have to keep seeing him quote me and argue with facts all the time.

I've zero insight into how and why Chelsea behave the way they do. I don't want that dubious gift. I might start hating blacks and Jews. But if asked to guess I'd go for the weird fads of modern English football, a period where simple proximity to Pep was guaranteed to get you work. At least Mascara had one years experience Leggo Man had fuck all. Which makes Terzic better qualified than all of them.

He was. But Levy didn’t come on here and check the polls and the opinion surveys.

I was a season ticket holder that season and I can tell you the atmosphere in the stadium was worse than on here and worse than it is now.

Everyone hated Nuno’s style of play and game management. And he was binned after 10 league games.

Trust me, this is a manager that is far worse. They are just drowning out the end of match boos with music.
 
And if it needs to be said for some reason. No. Nuno couldn't have worked out as Tottenham manager.. It's not about not good enough.. His broad idea of football was a bad fit for us. And still a bad fit.

You didn't watch the football Forest played on Thursday? How does that football go down at our stadium in front of 60,000.

I think Moore is that rare freak but also, he can come off the bench to build up experience. Harder to bring CBs off the bench

But in Dorrington’s case, we have almost run out of available CBs and we have to use Gray instead as cover. I would think that giving Dorrington some minutes, even as a sub, would have been beneficial for him and give the other players some much needed rest.

He was 8th choice. When we played forest the other day they just sat back and nothing really to offer. A counter attack team. Business end of season is when it counts not december.
