Has there actually been any real talk about Slot beyond a few fleeting mentions in the media, who which change their story day by day?

Not saying he wouldn’t be a decent appointment, but I just do not envisage Levy going from Mourinho and Conte to Slot. I don’t doubt he recognises we need a more project based manager, but I would think Levy will still be looking for someone with more experience in the major leagues. If Slot is on the list at all, I think he’d be pretty far down (so he’ll probably get the job anyway:D)….

None of us have a fudging clue mate, including the media
 
If Nagelsmann had a job offer at Spurs and Chelsea with roughly equal pay offered at both clubs, he would likely go to whichever club he thought would give him the highest chance of winning trophies.

So the one that throws money about relentlessly. In the Abramovich days success followed but who knows these days. Certainly not the best of starts under Boehly,

Not that I've read anywhere.
But I like the idea of him being considered as there should have been proper thought behind that decision to seriously look at him.
 
As soon as Potter left, it was nailed on that Nagelsmann would go there

In fact, you could argue that if Nagelsmann hadnt been pushed by Bayern, then Chelsea wouldnt have fired Potter (yet).

Amusing that Chelsea sack Tuchel, who a few months later joins Bayern to replace the sacked Nagelsmann, and then Nagelsmann goes to Chelsea

I think he might do well there unfortunately, but at least it would take a distraction off our manager search

It all stems from that bald prick giving soton that dodgy penalty in the last minute.

Right and its hard to say that Chelsea dont offer a deeper squad, albeit with some holes in a cople places, and willingnes to spend big
 
Sigh. Not all, but enough to take promising managers off the market pretty quickly. And remember, others will commit to their present clubs, too, narrowing the list further.

The ' dreamt-up worst scenario' happened in 2021 - Despite what his adoring fans seem to think, Levy is not beyond royally fudging things up, and it's looking distinctly possible again.

I say avoid it like the plague and just get Poch. Failing that get Gallardo. This interregnum helps no one.
I must say the market has been falling over themselves to snap up Poch and Gallardo:rolleyes:

The bookies have him fairly good odds. If that means anything.

The thing is that under Abramovich they could sustain the throwing money around, what with all the "loans" he made to the club. This cannot continue to be the case with Boehly, as the money has to come from somewhere other than owner "loans." With the slate wiped clean when Boehly took over, I can perhaps understand all this crazy spending they have engaged in recently. But I seriously doubt this will be the norm in the years to come. I'd hazard a guess that Spurs will have more spending power than Chelsea 2-3 years down the line, if not sooner. Unless Chelsea kills it in the domestic league and in Europe, but team performance is a very fickle thing to base your budget on.
 
K.D.D.D.D.Soc mentioned this in the Chelsea thread, but anyone think we should at least interview Emma Hayes?

I think that would be an interesting and possibly inspired proposition.

Chelsea get knocked out of the cl next round. Our turnover for this season may possibly be higher.

Hard to judge with everything that went on with sanctions and such. But we're not far off.

Unfortunately swiss ramble has introduced a paywall for his stuff. So going to be hard going forward to compare.
 
Don't let the facts get in the way

Ten seasons before ENIC -> 10th, 15th, 8th, 15th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 14th, 11th, 10th -> 10 years prior to ENIC -> zero top 6 finishes
First ten years of ENIC -> 12th, 9th, 10th, 14th, 9th, 5th, 5th, 11th, 8th, 4th -> First 10 years of ENIC -> 3 top 6 finishes
Post first decade of ENIC -> 5th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 4th -> Last 13 years strait -> only been out of top 6 once, In 5 out of last 7 CL campaigns, including reaching final

Fans and media love to quote how many managers the club have hired/fired, in reality the club has improved over the vast majority of the 22 years of ownership. And the fact that we could be 3rd today shows it's still pretty much the same. You would think by now Chelsea & Madrid would have proved manager stability/time in role is not a 1:1 alignment/requirement for success

Its plain to see that we have only those who have a blind spot when it comes to Levy can not see that. I guess its the T w att er / social media generation who can not/are not prepared to look further then the end of their nose who can not see that.
