Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

I'd be very surprised if Howe left since he seems to be committed to the project here. Chelsea isn't a project, it's a payday.

Howe wouldn't leave here for Chelsea, I don't think. Sounds daft but I think he knows he's valued here. Chelsea fans would think they were better than him and there'd he a target on his back from day one. 

 

I don't think he would either but it crossed my mind that for the first time in 20 years we have a manager who could seem appealing to the clubs who think they have some level of entitlement. I'm not used to that I have to admit.

I do hope Potter doesn’t have his head turned. Would quite like to see Brighton give it a proper bash this season without instantly losing their players or manager to one of the “big boys”

[Ayatollah Hermione 13873]

Howe wouldn’t even entertain it, I reckon. Just moved his family for a start but why would he go to a club with less resources smdh? 

[Craig 6682]

My point was more about Chelsea, and more like the media sniffing him out rather than Howe being interested. I think he'd give a similar response to how Keegan responded when Liverpool sacked Souness and apparently he was a 'shoe-in'.

Chelsea fans seem to be suggesting this happened because he lost the dressing room. Apparently the effort applied last night was non-existent.

To be followed early next season by Galtier.

So that's now two managers who have delivered a Champions League for Chelsea within 4 months of taking over only to be sacked within the following 18 months.

Doesn't surprise me.

From 2018 apparently:

If he’s okayed then signing of Aubamayang I’ll eat my fuckin hat

 

Who gives a manager 300mill to invest then sacks him a month into the project in any sector?

Re:Haaland.

 

Ive heard that he was a quite slight and was originally a midfielder.  He was transitioned to a CF and shot up in stature. But he still has the mobility of a midfielder.

[Alex 35095]

Aye, it’s funny in retrospect but it’s possible it was the right call at the time. For all parties 

[Craig 6682]

Brighton have given Chelsea permission to talk to Potter.

Boo to this. I have a very soft spot for Brighton and Potter is doing an astonishing job there

 

[Craig 6682]

Hopefully he tells them to stick it. Would be a massive wake up call to Chelsea and the media. They seem to be of the belief that no-one can turn down Chelsea. 

[Craig 6682]

Errrr ... how about fuck right off?

[Gemmill 44900]

I mean who the fuck is Hamish Constantinople?

 

[Holden McGroin 6587]

Clearly Clueless. They've gone in for Potter

[PaddockLad 17281]

Don’t know but he’s getting a follow from me

[ewerk 30620]

I’m not sure that Hamish is the FT reporter he’s claiming to be.

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

[Craig 6682]

There's only one man to save Chelsea.

[Gemmill 44900]

Remember from us getting Ashworth as well that Brighton have a blanket policy of letting their employees speak to suitors. They don't want to keep anyone against their will. 

 

Also I very much doubt that Hamish's story is true. 

[Gemmill 44900]

I googled "site:ft.com Hamish Constantinople" and there are NO results with that name returned. 

 

Also if you look through his other tweets, he's an Everton fan with a fixation on trying to wind Newcastle fans up. 

 

Stand down lads.
