Zoo 2.0 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 1 hour ago, Romey 1878 said: Chelsea and Poch are no more! Bit of a weird one IMO. Yes they've been laughably shit all season, but in the past month or two he actually turned it round and delivered Europe - not too far from where you'd expect them to have been at the start of the season. It almost feels like as they've turned a corner, they've binned him off. Weird for Poch now too, burned his bridges with Spurs to manage their rivals for a return of absolutely nothing. Not to mention that IMO his reputation has taken a bit of a battering considering he's now effectively failed at both PSG & Chelsea since leaving Tottenham. That said, wouldn't be surprised to see him now reunite with Kane at Bayern considering they're crying out for a manager. Also wouldn't surprise me to see Tuchel do the opposite.

I think he's walked out for that reason and why the club haven't stopped him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 He hasn’t seemed happy, or comfortable, there right from the off and the noises he was making towards the end of the season mean it’s not much a surprise to me really.

Many manager sackings are baffling and/or undeserved, in this case the only oddity is that it's not happened sooner.

Beeb is getting desperate BBC Sport sent the questionnaire to supporters’ groups of the 15 Premier League clubs who had details about their season ticket prices for 2024/25. The number of respondents from each club varied. The results therefore do not represent the league as a whole. Fans of Manchester United (548), Brentford (444) and Newcastle (126) were the most common respondents. Sheffield United (8), Liverpool (15) and Fulham (22) received the fewest number of responses.

We've heard consistently from the Beeb, ever since he joined Everton (over a year ago now), that Sean Dyche is "former Burnley manager". Will this term be used to describe Vincent Kompany from the day he starts work at Bayern Munich and continue for a year or more? Apologies if I was confusing.
