I blame this shyt on the board. All we do is develop young players and then send them off to thrive some where else. Then sign shyt players like morata and giroud and expect conte to work miracles. :snoop:

The perfect coach for Chelsea is, you have to win trophies, play attacking football, promote and play the youth players and be subservient to the board.

Simeone, you'll be in the mix for trophies, but how long does Roman tolerate his style of football for.

Unless Tuchel has fixed up his attitude, he wouldn't last long at Chelsea. Fell out with the board both at Mainz and Dortmund.

Enrique plays attacking football, so I can see why they would go for him.

Tuchel is going to PSG

Just curious, if y'all were gonna rank the World Cups in your lifetime in terms of entertainment value, 1998 would have to be first, right?

I'd rank them '98, '90, '02, '14, '06, 2010, '94.

I'd go
  1. France 98. Every game was an event, you had gather great Dutch Brazilian, French teams, Jamaica qualified, England fukkery, bergkamp goal, Ronaldo in the final fukkery, David beckham/Diego simeone fukkery, blanco jump and the Mexican keepers kit, USA vs Iran
  2. Germany 06. Zidane/Materazzi fukkery, grosso's goal, the golden generation and their WAGs, Netherlands vs Portugal fukkery, peter crouch pulling on Sancho's dreads to score a header
  3. Korea/Japan 02. Ronaldo redemption, Beckhams redemption Ronaldinhos goal vs England, Italy vs Korea fukkery, Cameroon's kits, Senegal beating France on the opening day and France subsequently finishing bottom of their group, Rio's bogle vs Denmark, Ireland vs Spain and the Nike cage match advertising campaign
  4. Brazil 14. Apart from the protests, it was quiet for off the field fukkery surprisingly, but made up for it on the fried with Suarez fukkery, Messi practically dragging Argentina to the final, van Persies header, Belgium vs USA, Colombia's and Ghana's goal celebrations, Algeria vs Germany fukkery and of course the dismemberment of Brazil at the hands of Germany
  5. South Africa 10. Pretty boring, although France provided a lot off entertainment off the field, Quagliarella's goal, Wayne Rooney berating England fans, Chile were great, Spain were, obviously unstoppable and you had Paul the octopus

Chelsea needs to completely overhaul the team.

I would cash in on Eden Hazard (and possibly Courtois) and rebuild the entire team with young prospects from the other top European leagues combined with young players from the Academy and Reserves. The only +25 players I'd keep are Willian, Morata, Azpilicueta and Kante. Everyone else from the old guard can go (you'd have to keep a few English players to meet quotas). The defense (wings) and midfield (especially central) need to be completely overhauled. They need to give Fabregas a ticket back to Spain to finish his career there.

Chelsea should have thrown serious money at Emenalo when he asked to resign. Crazy to think this club had both De Bruyne and Salah at one point....heck, even Lukaku.
