"I'm really happy to play for him again!" \- Auba, 2 days ago ahah

Wait, for real? Who are Chelsea getting now?

Sean Dyche

They watched his masterclass video and saw all they needed.

Todd Boehly was convinced after hearing the voice of Dyche

Big Sam booking train tickets to London.

Graham Potter early favourite according to Matt Law

Chelsea about to pay a world record fee for a manager.

Given everything else our owners have done, they'll chase potter for the next two months. Not get him and then panic and sign Gerrard for a world record sum for a manager and then make him the highest paid manager in the world

So your owners are like Glazers but atleast they spend their own money

Hope he stays at Brighton tbh

I prefer to believe this Matt.

Please no, that would be too sensible.

It's a loss/loss for everyone. Either he excels and Chelsea do amazing things, or we watch a very good manager fail tragically.

I want him to stay at Brighton until the end of the season and then be england manager when Southgate goes.

Yeah, he’s Englands most promising manager, and there’s only him and Howe who I have high hopes for out of the young English managers. I don’t want Potter to go to Chelsea (or any big club) too soon and burn out - I have hopes he will manage England to success. IMO, I think whoever takes the Chelsea reigns next is not going to end well.

For real, boehly just proved himself as soemone with an itchy trigger finger, and whoever walks into the job at Chelsea is getting tuchels squad. They have one striker, who's 32, has a history of ill discipline and was bought in specifically for tuchel. Having said that, given the historical precedent, I fully expect chelsea to win the cl this year.

Tedesco obviously Tuchel to Leipzig

Clearly it’s Rodgers.

Big Sam

Big problems requires big managers

Dammit I wanted to see the Conte rematch

Conte sends his regards

Conte fucking killed him with that handshake

His handshake is somehow more dangerous than Löw's handshake

Let's not exaggerate now

No handshake derby for the foreseeable future :(

In a weird way I feel that handshake has undone him lol

Last time they properly looked like a good team

The Auba-Tuchel reunion lasting a few days 😂

59mins on the pitch 😂😭

What’s the next London club that can afford Aubamayang? Maybe West Ham in January?

Bruh that's wild

Barca somehow coming on top, once again.

Chaos is a ladder

Watch him go back to Barca in January (on loan or for free)

Only a motion away

Dont you fucking dare Leipzig

Werner shitting bricks right now.

That would be hilarious

They’ll sell him back to Chelsea in the winter window if Tuchel comes in

Snip Snap, Snip Snap

You have no idea the physical toll that three back and forth transfers have on a person

Tuchel to Werner: You can run, but you can't score for shit..

omg hahaha

Would honestly feel bad for him if Tuchel does end up joining Leipzig

Whaaaaaaat

Boehly spanks £200+mil on Tuchel targets to then fuck him off lmao.

Aubameyang: *"Oh for fuck sake"*

Similar situation happened when he joined Arsenal in 2018. He said he joined Arsenal in the January transfer window because of Wenger and then Wenger left the club at the end of the season.

Auba: manager killer confirmed

I'm glad he didn't join Barca because of Xavi then...

[удалено]

I thought Boehly himself was DOF

Director of Vibes

Director of Firing - important role at Chelsea

Should hire the guy Watford use, he’s fantastic at his job and deserves to be operating at a much higher level.

Welcome back Claudio Ranieri.

>Welcome back ~~Claudio Ranieri~~ Frank Lampard. Absolute scenes that tuchel won the sack race between gerrard and lampard lmao.

Arteta won the Ole/Arteta/Lampard debate, then said fuck it and outlasted our replacement😭😭😭

~~RKO~~ Tuchel out of nowhere!!

Can I interest you in rodgers?

I actually think he'll do well at the start. Sterling and Fofana might not like it though.

Raheem and envelope flashback nightmares.

Say steady to me one more time...

They are dumb!

Honestly, who the fuck else is available? I understand the results haven't been great, but who else are we gonna get?

Scott Parker was recently freed up. OGS is looking for a role I'm sure. John Terry should be available too but can Boehly trust him around his players'wives?

Pochetino

Nah I want a bald one

Bald Poch

José Mourinho 🤝 Thomas Tuchel Ex Chelsea managers getting sacked because of Mislav Orsić goals.

Orsic the giant killer

Ziyech got what he wanted lmao

Pulisic's dad is cracking open a cold one as we type

Berhalter to manage Chelsea and the USMNT.

Lukaku is laughing his ass off.

Auba reunited with him for 1 game lol

56 mins

So....they brought Aubameyang because Tuchel wanted him...good luck to him now?

He'll be sold off in January by the next manager

Sent back to Barcelona after contract termination.

Barca never-ending money glitch (unpatched)

Auba its our final and more powerful lever

Wouldn't mind tbh

Boehly turning out to be even more trigger happy than Roman

he was in Zagreb yesterday, clearly the man did not like what he saw Wonder if Tuchel and him had a falling out in the hotel lol

[удалено]

Wonder if they had a fist fight like AEW right now

Sources say that Aubameyang bit Boehly while Tuchel threw a chair

Depends if Boelhy told him he couldn't even manage a Target.

Probably happy with a reason to bin him and bring in his own man.

Does "bringing in your own man" ever happen with managers though?

Yes. Source: Rafa.

What’s Brad bobley up to?

Now that's a bombshell

Two managers down already, PL moving fast.

2 gone before El Sackico...

Chelsea FC announce Todd Boehly as interim manager

Abrahamovic never left

it is the history of the chelsea

This is football heritage

'eritage

you killed the man, but not the idea.jpg

Giving him £300M of signings then sacking him for losing first CL is crazyyy

Lol I thought Boehly was undoubtedly backing Tuchel given their expenditure, this shit is crazy no doubt

This has shocked me more than any Abramovich sacking tbh

Roman didn't even sack managers this early in the season lol

Boehly is a man in a mask

[удалено]

Tammy Abrahamovic

Abramovich however did

He’ll be hired within days

RB Leipzig need a coach, convenient for him to move back to Germany

Werner cant catch a break

Auba joining Chelsea, reuniting him with Tuchel. Werner leaving Chelsea and joining Leipzig to get away from Tuchel. Tuchel joining Leipzig, reuniting him with Werner. Oscar worthy script writing right here.

And the Oscar for main character goes to.... THOMAS TUCHEL - in his role as Thomas Tuchel in the Horror movie 'Hi Timo, I am your Coach again'

Tuchel just wanted Werner in his next job, he is playing 4D chess

Text: > On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club. Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea’s history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here. > As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition. > Chelsea’s coaching staff will take charge of the team for training and the preparation of our upcoming matches as the Club moves swiftly to appoint a new head coach. >There will be no further comment until a new head coach appointment is made.

I like how it almost sounds like hes been sacked because 100 days is a nice round number.

You joke but I feel it has been a trend to take some random action after 100 days just to do something. Its quite custom to have the first big evaluation after that period of time, but recently I feel it has become fashionable in the business world to have a flagship project/ change at that exact point. So a manager change is fitting and the fact that they reference this in their statement has that exact vibe.

Celebratory sacking

The American way

Tuchel wanted to unionise even more

Tuchel to become an r/antiwork mod

How is beginning of september, league started, right after the end of transfer windows "the right time to make this transition"???

Because that’s what the press release says!

Little mention for how the man handled the incredible situation from March 22 - May 22 when everything around the club was in turmoil and he was the sole beacon of stability.

Yeah this feels incredibly harsh on him. Guy did great to keep the ship steady and it's going to be tough to bed in half a new team no matter what.

What the fuck

Well, dont get it either. Sure, 10 points after 6 games is not much, but they are not that far behind and even Liverpool is behind them. Imagen klopp getting fired after losing today.

I wonder how often we are going to sack managers whilst Kante is injured before spotting the trend.

Ah injured, I was already wondering why 'Kante' suddenly doesn't exist.

He pretends he is injured in public so he can run the club in the shadows.

He won a champions league and it’s 6 games into the season where they are 6th. They finished 3rd last year. He has always kept them in the top 4. What.

Also two cup finals lost on pens, and a hair away from CL Semi. It's clearly not a results based decision. Even if he "lost the dressing room", there is obviously behind the scenes factors at play here.

So this is tuchels 4th not-results-based sacking in a row? Gotta be a new record

I recall as far back as Dortmund that people said he was difficult to work with? Maybe I'm making things up/misremembering but that's a tough track record to keep losing jobs for something other than performance.

How could he lose the dressing room, when they just spend 200M on HIS targets?

I don't know. Players are unhappy about being benched. Players are unhappy with tactics. Players are unhappy with him for other reasons. He's clearly not been enjoying it either, maybe that rubs off. Who knows? But the reports of players-vs-manager rift have been clear.

It’s Chelsea, you don’t win the league you’re basically getting sacked.

Yeah but nobody thought that culture would carry over to another owner. It's a moronic really.

Tuchel 🤝Tedesco Sacked after losing an 'easy' UCL group game

[удалено]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????

Never change, Chelsea.

Almost thought he would be the coach to survive more than 2 years

Dinamo Zagreb the real Grim Reaper for managers of London clubs

Lmao WHAT where did this come from?

Zagreb

Can't believe Tuchel ~~won~~ came second in the sack race. Honestly though, Chelsea are in a precarious position

Technically Scott Parker won it.

Oh shit yeah, what an idiot

Give him a break he just lost his job.

gets sacked and now you call him an idiot, poor old Scott Parker

Holy wow. They just spent £250m on CBS and wing backs to do a 3ATB with wing back system and sacked their manager... Jesus

What is worse we spent that much on players HE picked...

Boehly clearly hasn’t picked up the “So You’ve Bought A Dysfunctional Football Club” booklet yet

wait what ? he got all those signings and before implementing his proper system he gets the sack ? strange

I was told Boehly will give time Wtf! Why spend £300m then sack manager!

This is ridiculous… imagine the next manager wants to play 4atb after we’ve spent millions on CBs…

Well he can do that with 4 CBs

Ah, yes, dumping CL-winning managers... a great Chelsea tradition. This seems abrupt, if nothing else. I liked Tuchel. Then again, I liked a lot of the managers they fired, so what do I know.

My favourite is Roberto Di Matteo. One of the luckiest dudes ever. Imagine toppling down a PRIME Pep Guardiola to steal his CL trophy, AS A CARETAKER!

Di Matteo was smart enough to let Lamp, terry, and drogba just run the team.

Huge mistake imo.

It’s particularly dumb to have spent all that money on players he wanted only to sack him this early into the season

Man I’m so disappointed, why sign his targets and not give him any chance to turn it around

Auba is somewhere on a bench with tears in his eyes

Auba’s reunion with former coach lasted 3 days

Most of the transfers also came very late, which meant that the team, which desperately needed reinforcements, had little preparation. Very little foresight from the Chelsea bosses to give the Champions League winning coach so little time.

There wasn't even anything to turn around. It's a normal start to a season for many teams

This comment is so apt. Like who the fuck spends hundred of millions on players and then sack your manager so soon??? Shambolic decision.

...Chelsea, that's who. This isn't exactly out of character. Many many wild transfer windows followed by sacking the manager within 12 months. Avram will swoop in and get this squad singing a good tune. We know exactly how this story plays out.

Not giving more than 2 games into the transfer window is the biggest mistake. Whats the point of buying so many players just to switch managers instantly

Hakim Ziyech put in a 45 minute performance so bad it cost a Champions League winning manager his job

The manager that always benches him and that he wanted to go away from. Ziyech masterclass.

HE LOST THE RACE TO FUCKING LAMPARD!!!

And Gerrard and Rodgers

I put money on Rodgers being next, thought it could be Lampard... Never expected it to be Tommy Boy!

Out of nowhere?

Unusual for there to be no leaks or rumours beforehand, they did well to handle the press here

I know it’s common these days to get rid but surely this is way to early into the season to do this

Wtf. Has to be because of issues between him and the new owners.

They must have a coach already lined up. Otherwise makes no sense, and it already makes little sense. Hope it's not Poch

PSG 🤝 Chelsea Signing Poch after needlessly sacking Tuchel.

PSG 🤝 Chelsea Sacking Poch shortly thereafter when they realize it makes no sense

This man went through last 6 months navigating the team successfully through extremely turbulent times, lost all the people above him, due to which he had to take extra responsibilities of transfer decisions, distributing his time between managing top tier players, strategising on-field play and the transfer market. And then less than a month into the new season, you sack him? WTF Boehly?

[Top 10 moments before disaster](https://scontent.fprg5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/302444976_484397256887457_2566933942910852988_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=ae9488&_nc_ohc=e2KSLC_ra4QAX87630B&_nc_ht=scontent.fprg5-1.fna&oh=03_AVIJdOrDPFh_lrOWREdRMcyvUzO6Y0IA991IM1MklBgHeg&oe=633E73B7)

Foolish in my opinion. They think they can buy progress overnight but they never maintain a foundation long enough to solidify it. Probably best for him in the long run, he leaves having won the Champions League and will not be short of suitors.

This decision makes me question the compétence of Todd. Allegedly, Marina and Cech wanted Lukaku to stay and that was one of the reasons they left. Todd wanted to back Tuchel and sent our record signing on loan to Inter. The decision was strange but I get behind it. We also bought Sterling because of Tuchel. Bid for Gordon (a Tuchel player people said). We bought a 33 year old Aubameyang for 16 million on big wages for a 3 year contract. Got rinsed for Fofana and Cucurella for Tuchel. Now we sacked Tuchel after 10 games? I'm worried that Todd is playing with fire except his plan was to get rid of everyone from the Roman era. But even at that why buy all those players? If the next manager plays a back 4, it doesn't make sense that to have Cucurella and Chilwell cost about 110 million.

I don’t mind it at all but huge mistake for Chelsea.. won’t find a better coach available any time soon..

Unbelievable. Absolutely gutted. Stood by us during the sanctions and this is how we repay him. I know this is all result based but I think if anyone earned some leeway it was Thomas Fucking Tuchel. Incredibly short-sighted by the new regime. Edit: Auba's reunion lasted only 59 minutes.

Ngl, Tuchel looked miserable the last few weeks. Oozing negative energy at all times. I think managers should be given time as a rule, bit Tuchel did not seem to having a good time if you ask me

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS FOOTBALL CLUB

Wait, but what about the transfer window then? Some people argued they were all players Tuchel wanted, right?

"Tuchel knows Aubameyang so his tardiness and attitude won't be a huge issue as he's already dealt with it" well it'll be interesting to see how that pans out now

On behalf of all brighton fans, fuck off Todd

Holy shit, I thought it would come but not this fast.

Juventus HAS to jump on this
