    Now they are looking for a new manager I wonder if they will go for an old boy or look for someone new to the club

    The footballing world is Chelsea's oyster. I seriously doubt their new owner will be scouring England's lower leagues for a replacement coach.

    I know Aubamayang is a disruptive influence, but that was quick!

    Still if you see fouls that aren't there ..................

    Chelsea sack manager (pathetic).

    Possible return as manager for Hughes.

    Looking like Potter, good move for him. He’ll be sacked in a year or two but has chance at some silverware which he’d never get at Brighton and a huge pay increase. Plus he’ll have an elite club on his CV which will help down the line.

    I’m hoping he’s the next England manager.

    Brendan Rodgers is probably shorter odds to be the Chelsea manager in October than he is to be Leicester manager.

    I'd say it is some achievement at present for Brendan Rodgers, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard to have outlasted two premier league managers so far.

    Shame Potter took the job as it seems like a poisoned chalice. Expectations at Brighton are next to nothing, he needed a stepping stone before one of the top teams as it really is a whole different situation not just in expectations from everyone but also the players you are working with, the kind of player Brighton will pick up will generally not be handled the same way as most of the players at a top team so its a massive jump

    There is also the issue of the owner. Boehly has had plenty of time to work on getting a DoF in but he hasn't seemed to have made any attempt. Being that hands-on is actually fairly normal in American sports but owners of American sports generally have a real interest and understanding of the sport of the team they buy when they do that. For example, the Glazers at Tampa Bay Buccs are fairly hands-on, Joel especially but for all the negatives you can throw at their ownership of Man Utd they have been hands-off on football matters. Boehly seems however to be bringing the American way to Football and he wants to be hands-on but its like he is pulling his knowledge from playing Football Manager and doing that mistake people always make in FM when they have lots of money to spend and just throw it around. And we have already seen if you aren't winning every game he will blame the manager and not his own recruitment and get rid of the manager. Potter may be ok until Feb but when Boehly spends tens or hundreds more in Jan to buys big name players for the way Potter wants to play and he doesn't win the next 6-10 games I worry for him

    They were saying that as soon as it became clear that Granovskaia and Cech were stepping down. They also supposedly met with people and he didn't appoint anyone. Maybe he will appoint one but unless the fans turn on him I can see wanting to keep the extra power being acting DoF gives him

    Appreciate Tuchel won the CL but he was utterly hopeless in the transfer market.

    Sold Tomori and Abraham and paid some horrendously high fees for absolute flops or average players.
