From the club statements I get the vibe that it was probably Poch's decision.

"I have left Chelsea in a position to push on in the league and Europe" which is about right.
 
Tbh I don't think he's really a top level manager.

However Chelsea aren't a top level team!

I think man for man Chelsea have a comfortably better team than we (Newcastle do). I'd have thought, given how they ended the season and with Villa having to manage CL next year, they were likely to get around 4th spot next year under Poch. Now it very much depends who comes in. Good news for us of course. Well until they spend £500m on even better players through their FFP avoidance scheme.

Wasn't actually meant to be bait!

Their team isn't top 4 and neither is poch.

Clearly, explaining why they finished sixth and not fourth. <laugh>

They were looking a decent side though, aside from the atitude, not sure if Poch ever dealt with that.
