Mauricio Pochettino

[Misfit]

The worst part about all of this - Donna was 100% correct.

We don't play them until November 6th, at this rate we won't get the chance to serenade him with 'you're getting sacked in the morning, sacked in the morning’

 

[ljinko888]

Way things are going he won't be back at the Lane on November 6th

Poch looks an absolute shadow of the manager he was. No spark at all.

He’s been like this since the CL final.

 

[Keith Morris]

It’s easy to trot out this sort of narrative given the current situations at both clubs. Both the managers are top quality and Poch will likely improve Chelsea. I’m pleased to have Postacoglu though and not bothered that we don’t have Poch

Poch was top quality. I think the jury is out on whether he still is, and certainly on whether he has what it takes to manage a ‘superclub’ expected to actually win things.

Think he’ll be given a year to mold the squad. So many incomings and I can’t see boehly giving up quickly. All depends on his relationship with Poch though. But Boehly was patient with the Dodgers.

Genuinely looks devastated to be at that shit hole.

I thought that about Potter too...

He wasn’t patient with Tuchel, and he wasn’t patient with Potter.

 

[Montalbano]

Great man manager. Poor tactician.

 

[C-oops]

Since the January before the CL final. At least

 

[Tucker]

Chelsea is just the wrong place for him surely? I was surprised he went there after his torrid time at PSG. He needs somewhere that is a real project, not huge turnover of players and 30 man squads.

I understand and kind of agree with some that he’s not the breath of fresh air manager that he was in 2015 any more, and that football has moved on around him while he’s kind of stood still, but he’s not shit. He’s better than this dross surely?

Boehly's just the public face of Chelsea. The real power is in hands of Behdad Eghbali, effective owner of Clearlake Capital. It's believed to be Eghbali rather than Boehly who sacked Tuchel and Potter and who's no doubt marking Pochettino's card.

He wasn’t with Potter!

Always said that he's a lot like his mentor Biesla. His strength is projects where he builds young squads, galvanises team spirit and lifts them to new heights. Like he did with Espanyol, Southampton and us.

 

[thekneaf]

I think he suffers from a stagnant coaching staff. Top managers don't cling to the safety of familiar faces. They scout the best coaches like they do players. Ferguson was a master at that. Love that Ange got a whole new team (for him) in.

 

[EQP]

Yeah, if he loses at Villa, these press conferences will get even more uncomfortable for him.
