Of course it does, even sacking someone (think our worse was di matteo) giving them 3 months to hang themselves is better for the rep than sacking someone after they've lifted the PL.
3 months is a third of the season, not a few games. That just ruins the season so I'd rather just judge into what has been shown than to expect a miraculous turnaround in a few months. Plus this is Chelsea...you don't have a rep to uphold, just a bunch of ****s. How did you sack Ancelotti?
Surely Hazard and Kante will look for moves to bigger and better clubs? The Europa League, while a great competition, is beneath them.
after he finished 2nd. Hardly the same as sacking him after the double is it Lucky you ain't HIAG else he'd have his net all over this
You don't honestly think they'll wanna stick around do you, mate? The only reason they may not get moves is because you're a rich club and have no pressure to sell, so will keep them against their will. A shame really, as like the media says - the best players need to be playing CL football.
you seemed to do alright keeping lord bale. if hazard goes its because hes wanted to go for a while. kante will stay no questions asked. sure cl is nice to have but most footballers stay for 2 reasons (not including rare loyalty and the rare commodity that they like the manager). - ability to win trophies - how much money they can earn. hazard will go because he probably hasn't enjoyed his footie for a while and its one of real (most cant resist) or psg (back home) imo
Are you pleased with Jose and the players he has signed? Or do you prefer watching City. Pep is brilliant
This has nothing to do with a United, This is a thread about Chelsea, Like I said I’m not saying nothing until after Saturday’s game.
yes he's deffo going. Especially since he's been pretty turd and he's only got 2 years on his contract left and real need a keeper. I think hazard will stay too but i will not be surprised 1 bit if he goes.
No one came in for Bale until his final season where he established himself as one of the best in Europe so I wouldn't really see we done alright keeping him. The moment Real came calling we were powerless to resist, as everyone is. Thiago Motta's hanging up his boots, PSG will surely look at Kante and think he's the perfect replacement? They can match/ better his wages, guarantee a league title and also look to compete in the CL. Think Real may look at Hazard what with Bale's future uncertain. Or maybe Bayern as long term solutions to Ribery and Robben.
Yes, Haza would be perfect for Bayern. Would be surprised if Kante left this summer. Spurs will have more issues keeping their stars than Chelsea. They usually do
Thankfully we're already prepared for departures. Rose is no longer first choice thanks to Ben Davies being superb, while Jan and Sanchez's CB partnership has eased the worries of Toby going. If Hazard and Kante go, do you think you'll be able to achieve Europa League next season? I'm not so sure.
Isn't there already a Chelsea meltdown thread? Well, we went from 1st to 10th to 1st, to finishing 5th. So **** knows what next season has in store. As I have stated before, next season we could finish 8th or win the league by 15 points and neither would surprise me Would have been harsh on Liverpool if they had missed out on a CL place in the last game anyway, and we certainly havent been good enough to deserve it imo. Too many ****ty signings and sub par performances. Roll on next season and the next chapter of this topsy turvy tale.....
