I was shocked by the score line. It was the youngest average squad age since Aug 2011.... We lost that game 8-2.Quote:

That's unexpected. Zeljko Buvac, Klopps No 2, rumored to mulling over an offer to take over from Arsene.
Does have a good relationship with our chief scout and knows about high press football.
Knows Auba and Mhyki well.
Liverpool have said he's stepped down for personal reasons. Unsure if it's for the rest of the season or not - I don't recall seeing a timeframe mentioned.Quote:

This is probably NSFW language wise (swear words are bleeped out but still not kid friendly)

Aaron Ramsay would be proud.
:lulzturtle:
So anyway now Arteta is a $2.50 betting favourite to get the gig.
Could be worse. I think Moyes will be looking for work in a week or so.Quote:

Sokratis signing from Dortmund in a few weeks will also help our defence.
Unai Emery to be announced today as new Gaffer.
Steven Nzonzi transfer links in 3,2,1...
I think as soon as Tuchel turned them down a few months ago they started work on Emery and just used the Arteta links as smoke and mirrors.
Who would you have preferred?Quote:

Arteta needs a couple more years before taking over a big club.Quote:

I actually wouldn't have minded Conte, he was my sneaky favourite for job. Has the presence to replace Wenger and could get some passion into our talented but ultimately flawed squad. I reckon we would have won the league with him as coach.
Emery is a great coach tho. Happy with his appointment, he just needs to learn English very quickly.
You dont want Conte cause no way your board would sanction the signing of several 30 yrold+ on big deals. Conte will then spit his dummy either threaten to walk out or spend the whole season being a miserable ****Quote:

Chelsea fans are literally the most fun group of people to discuss football with.Quote:

Conte, Mourinho, Ancelotti, even Di Matteo have all been ran out town, after earning a poop tonne of money on wages and payouts, but are all respected elsewhere.
Conte will be the same.
I swear Twitter replies were invented just for Chelsea fans.
Yeah no Chelsea fans hate RDM or King Carlo. Jose is a **** and continues to take digs at us even after the way we fans have respected him . And the facts I listed on Conte are 100% true so he can jog on.You can't talk either your fans treated Wenger like he was the biggest scum walking on earth and basically forced him out of the clubQuote:

oh, and i BET you the board had no issues at all on the parade day.
just on this, generally 'boards' in all walks of life are reactive creatures and have less than zero innovation and free thinking amongst them.Quote:

boards provide many more roadblocks than they ever contribute to success.
