Low pressure for the US too. We just want to get out of the group stage

Are you any good? I've not heard very complimentary things since Klinsman's days.
Yeah we are ok. Got out of the group in 2022. Definitely the most talent we have ever had. Former coach was pretty conservative so that held us back a little
The last coach was paid $2.3M in the WC year, including a $0.9M bonus for qualification.
To compare, Ange is paid £5M ($6.4M)
So, no. Not even close.
We were paying Poch £8.5million pounds per-year..... 5 years ago!
£8m too much
USAMNT is good for Poch and the USA. they have athletes so he will be a good fit and they will pay him really well.
Also means he's not hanging over our heads unemployed.
The more jobs and the more time that passes after chelsea, the closer I get to seeing him as Spurs again.

I was indifferent about all this; but yeh..... That's a plus.
Is it one of those things where there’s a potential for ads and sponsorships in the US, that he could earn from additionally?
Maybe a little, but football is probably 7th when it comes to sports in the US, so it's not a ton. He will not be making anything close to PL money.
If my streams are anything to go by, then Messi gets ALL The sponsorship money anyway.
It pays to be able to speak Spanish here too.
I don't even see many sponsorships with Messi in them.
Beckham probably had the most marketing benefit in the US, but even then he was well behind even a 2nd or 3rd tier NBA player.
It's hard to really express how little the US cares about football compared to the rest of the world. Women's tennis at the US Open averages more US viewers than the Premier League (whose US TV broadcasting deal is vastly overrated - no network has ever made a profit off those rights).
US soccer is always 1 generation away from it's big break. All those kids who were supposed to become obsessed with the sport based on WC 1994 are in their 40s now, and most of them couldn't care less.
Telling how uncomfortable Palmer looked without him. Poch had his drawbacks but his ability to truly free up his creative players was one of his best qualities. Possibly to the detriment of the overall team, but amazing for player development. One of the few managers who actually understands the meaning of the word ‘free’ and pros and cons that come with it.
Son, Kane, Eriksen, and Dele don’t develop into the same level of player without him.

Never a truer word spoken
Some fools blabber on about him not winning anything with these players at his disposal...completely overlooking the fact he developed and made these players what they became. And a bunch of others, too.
It was a remarkable achievement to get us as near to winning as he did. No other manager this century has come close
Palmer isn’t a touchline winger. He is a number 10 who like Foden can play as a false winger (winger with freedom to play inside). I think Chelsea played him poorly where as you say Poch didn’t.
Sadly I think chavs will be a decent side simply due to the likes of Lavia, Colwell, Neto etc being available. If they get Osimhen they will do well even if the manager fucks it. At some point throwing enough quality can work or at least work to an extent.
Jesus mate, Poch is a manager not a coach, it’s what he wanted, the *manager label* and Levy gave it to him. He has failed as a manager every fucking where he has went. Maybe a good coach, has done sweet fuck all as a manager, I don’t get the love that is still for him tbh, he left us. U say CL final, but didn’t have the balls to tell Kane to sit on the bench, that’s the fine lines of managing any team, in any walk of life.
Agreed but is the juice worth the squeeze? I don’t think they are gonna go bust anytime soon, but they have no ethos, it’s just spend spend spend and hope it works. At some point no mater how much they squeeze the juice won’t come. Much more respect for City and Liverpool even United than I will ever have for Chelsea.
It's ok he's still being paid by Chelsea
