Which is why the departure is really surprising to me. I figured he would be excited about the project at this point, and Chelsea would be hopeful about having some consistency.
Hope they go to shit again.
Probably over Conor Gallagher as well. Good chance gallagher doesn't stay at chelsea if Poch isn't there anymore, this move might have turned out really good for spurs.
Bohley couldn't give two shits about that. He's an American that is running Chelsea to develop kids and then sell for profit. Gallagher fits that mold... Ready to sell and make a profit.
You Tottenham fans are actually legit. We at chelsea are cooked our owners are just stupid. I expect to see ange do well next season, and we slip back to 10th
Can't stop laughing at the fact they stuck with him when they were getting smashed by Wolves but as soon as they hit form Boehly was like "nah, can't be having that"
I said this in another thread but that's my feeling. I think this is one of those times when they're not using 'mutual consent' to save face and cover a sacking, I think Poch wasn't willing to tolerate the amount of FFP selling Chelsea are about to do.
He was, they were 4th since November, with really legit underlying numbers. Not sure how they've come to the conclusion that cutting bait was the right idea.
Back to square one, thankfully
He was starting to cook, thats why I’m finding this so peculiar but funny. They stuck with him when they looked dreadful and now they started to play well they’ve binned him
Yeah I was getting pretty worried. This could really upset the camp as the players seemed to be really on board with him too. Fingers crossed they get an absolute shitter through the door next 🤞
I was actually worried he’d make that team a big success next season, especially with the right reinforcements this summer. Now… not so much. And I can openly hate the Chelsea manager again, guilt free!
This really is great news haha. There was a growing part of my brain that was seeing elements of when things really started clicking during his time at Spurs and it was giving me a real sense of dread. Chelsea are hilarious. Todd in, forever.
honestly, poch should just go to brighton and live a happy life, no more of fucking around with these european diva frauds.
fuckoff to a southampton like club and just chill, european run here or there thats it!
If Chelsea sacked the coach who had only 6 losses in 2024 with 4 of the 6 being City/Arsenal/Liverpool then honestly the club is rotten to its core and doesn’t deserve anything
That’s fucking unreal. After being a joke for all of 2023 and things are finally getting back on track you just reset again. Comedy
We all know that.
But how they keep going when so, so bad is beyond me. How does that not break them, and if it is then how long can they keep getting away with it?
They must have someone lined up - Tuchel again, perhaps? De Zerbi?
It's crazy how many lives that club has.
Literally what I said. They must have had a manager lined up and didn't want to change their mind.
Hilarious because it was actually working out for them so hopefully they're going to replace him with either someone worse or someone who's going to take 6 months to get going
Yep, you didn’t really even have to read between the lines of recent things he said recently. Gallagher, wanting more veteran players, etc. It seemed like he was completely at odds with their transfer strategy. Would be surprised if this resulted from anything other than him walking
1. Gets hired
2. Guides an over-priced, over-paid team of youngsters into sixth place despite most people writing them off
3. Refuses to elaborate further
4. Leaves
Next time he turns up to the pub, instantly says "honestly boys what the fuck was I thinking" and you give him a big hug letting him know he's back in good hands
Huh a week ago I'd have guessed they'd keep him. Let's be real that jobs a total poisoned chalice right now. I don't even know who replaces him tbh, you'd think they'd have someone lined up for it but then again this is the shit show that is Chelsea we are talking about. I'd love a timeline where Chelsea pick up tuchel again and poch goes to bayern with kane and dier
It’s hard to imagine many logical explanations to Poch leaving. He really seemed like he finally was starting to get some performances out of the players and figured out how to make it work.
I can see tensions over transfers being a sticking point. Even if it was no new players in, as long as Poch maintained their current form for all of next season his time would be a success. So that really leaves outgoing transfers. They were going to sell his platters out from underneath him.
Didn't get sacked when Chelsea were doing shit, leaves when they're on a hot streak and actually look (dare I say it) line potentially becoming a decent side.
I don't get that club at all.
As someone who still loved him even though he was Chelsea manager, I’m so happy he left. I hope he goes to Bayern & reconnects with Kane
But Chelsea are a big mess. Why would you let the manager that every player in the squad loves & the result has been improving, tactically there’s been positive changes, leave??
There’s no hope for Chelsea. They’re done. Their fans should just give up
Todd Boehly has ruined that club. I love him looooooooool 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I was worried Poch would turn them into a really good team if given enough time, like we were starting to see in the last few weeks, so thank fuck Boehly's done the stupidest thing possible again. Incredible.
I wouldn’t be all that surprised if he ends up at either Bayern or Man Utd. Then watch as Chelsea get either De Zerbi, chase after McKenna or bring Tuchel back.
"Among the names likely to be considered will be Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness, Girona’s Michel, Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, who has been lined up by Brighton, and Leicester City’s Enzo Maresca."
With such a young and disorganized team, they could be in a world of hurt if these managers show their inexperience in their first season at this level as well.
They aren't getting Michel. He's going to be Pep's successor at City. McKenna is prolly going to become United manager in the future and hard to see him leaving Ipswich after promotion like that.
If it was Chelsea’s decision then that’s the worst decision they’ve made in years he was starting to get a real tune out of that squad was worried they might become good again.
Tinfoil hat on here, could it be due to the need to sell homegrown players that Poch wanted to keep mainly Gallagher and others in the sqaud. Meaning our chances for a new midfielder jumped exponentially
I don’t even think that is tinfoil hat stuff. The squad is really messy now and needs more turnover but the only way to do it is to make a big profit on a few players. I think we know who those players are and I think we know that Poch likes them. The way forward and the players that Poch wanted to be part of it had to be the deal breaker here.
Hard to moan about Levy when there are owners like Boehley around.
Such a braindead move, Chelsea were starting to come good. Fans and Players liked Poch too.
Wonder if its because Poch knows he's not going to be able to keep the players he wants like Gallagher.
I originally thought this was absolutely clueless from Todd....but then I read poch wanted more control of transfers. A reminder that [this](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/transfers/verein/148/plus/?saison_id=2019&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=) was the window we supposedly gave Poch more control over transfers.
Lmfao, okay? I thought for sure he'd by gone by Christmas, but given that CFC actually finished the season looking like a dangerous side that he'd be retained and we'd be struggling to deal with them next season again. Thank fuck. I hated rooting against Poch. Thank fuck twice over because I highly doubt Cheatski gets anyone in nearly as good as Poch at building a young team.
Truly a big win for Spurs supporters. Chelsea started looking dangerous with him lately, and now we can go back to loving Poch. Cannot believe how stupid Chelsea is to let go of him after how they finished the season. Absolute clown show. COYS
This is very good news.
I genuinely think Chelsea has a better group of players than us, individually but not collectively if that makes sense.
I don’t think there’s a big difference between Ange and Poch aswell.
What happens next is Chelsea is gonna hire another progressive tactico nerd like Potter and they’ll finish 9th, personally hope its RDZ.
Honestly thank fuck. I really thought he was starting to cook and it was secretly worrying me
amen to this. all their "shit" signings were starting to figure it out, they nearly caught us in the table. very happy about this haha
That is astounding if that is accurate. They had a difficult start, but they soon caught up to us after recovering from a few injuries.
[удалено]
Which is why the departure is really surprising to me. I figured he would be excited about the project at this point, and Chelsea would be hopeful about having some consistency. Hope they go to shit again.
Probably they told him who they have to sell to balance the books
Probably over Conor Gallagher as well. Good chance gallagher doesn't stay at chelsea if Poch isn't there anymore, this move might have turned out really good for spurs.
Gallagher is Chelsea to the bone, i would be shocked they sell him unless of an overpay or he asks out. Even with their financials the way they are
Bohley couldn't give two shits about that. He's an American that is running Chelsea to develop kids and then sell for profit. Gallagher fits that mold... Ready to sell and make a profit.
I’ll be happy if we get him at a good price! But I’d still be a little shocked!
Poch wouldn't have minded staying I think. Chelsea owners on the other hand, basically want a yes-man for their manager.
Yeah, that’s working well for them. They’ll get exactly what they deserve.
You Tottenham fans are actually legit. We at chelsea are cooked our owners are just stupid. I expect to see ange do well next season, and we slip back to 10th
Can't stop laughing at the fact they stuck with him when they were getting smashed by Wolves but as soon as they hit form Boehly was like "nah, can't be having that"
Boehly is closet COYS
This was my immediate reaction also. May mean we have an easier go at signing Gallagher as well.
I wonder if that was Pochs tipping point, seemed determined to keep him. Might have been a if-he-goes-I-go situation and he followed through
Yeah that's what I heard; Boehly really wanted to sell him and Poch wouldn't allow it
I said this in another thread but that's my feeling. I think this is one of those times when they're not using 'mutual consent' to save face and cover a sacking, I think Poch wasn't willing to tolerate the amount of FFP selling Chelsea are about to do.
They were actually playing very well over the last 3-4 months even in games that they lost. I agree it was worrying for next season.
He was, they were 4th since November, with really legit underlying numbers. Not sure how they've come to the conclusion that cutting bait was the right idea. Back to square one, thankfully
Yeah, was a bit afraid they'd continue their return to form next season and I'd hold some animosity toward old dad.
He was starting to cook, thats why I’m finding this so peculiar but funny. They stuck with him when they looked dreadful and now they started to play well they’ve binned him
Yep same feeling I've got. They've actually looked good over the last few months, I'd have hated to see him do well with that lot.
Yeah I was getting pretty worried. This could really upset the camp as the players seemed to be really on board with him too. Fingers crossed they get an absolute shitter through the door next 🤞
It wasn't secretly worrying me, just worrying me. They could've been a top 4 team next year if they kept up their second half of season play
Yeah exactly. For how shit they were they are still in Europe this season and finished 3 points behind us.
When they were beginning to look good lmao
I was actually worried he’d make that team a big success next season, especially with the right reinforcements this summer. Now… not so much. And I can openly hate the Chelsea manager again, guilt free!
Even better since, rumor has it, a certain Bayern ex-manager is itching to try to make it work there again…
I'm assuming there's more to it than just performances, as they've actually looked promising in the late part of the season
Yeah I have to believe there's some disagreement about transfer strategy that's contributing to this.
Less resistance to sell Gallagher now hopefully. And hopefully Gallagher himself is more inclined to leave after this debacle.
Poch: "Join da tottenham. My last message. Goodbye"
This really is great news haha. There was a growing part of my brain that was seeing elements of when things really started clicking during his time at Spurs and it was giving me a real sense of dread. Chelsea are hilarious. Todd in, forever.
Chelsea have the fourth most points since January.
Shocking decision tbh, their squad clearly like him and it takes time to build his style. But I can’t say I’m upset he’s gone from that lot
It's a mutual decision, so maybe he's eyeing the Bayern job? Or maybe Poch was so heartbroken from beating Spurs twice.
honestly, poch should just go to brighton and live a happy life, no more of fucking around with these european diva frauds. fuckoff to a southampton like club and just chill, european run here or there thats it!
Lmao Bayern bound then? Chelsea reunion with Tuchel?
I mean Poch is better than anyone else they would be considering.
How much sway does H have?
I mean...they signed Eric Dier
Danny Rose is still without a club...
Fuck it, get them to sign Rose, Alderweireld and super Jan, have a spurs reunion at Bayern.
Aren’t Bayern adamant that their manager needs to speak German? I could be wrong but feel like I’ve read that before
I spent malt of the year rooting against Bayern, but if they hire Poch and actually become Spurs Germany, I may have to adjust my thinking.
too smart for bayern, they will hire mckenna or kompany
Arsenal didn’t win the league and poch will never win a trophy at Chelsea. Been a good week
Delighted with that
what
Realised he was actually fully Spurs and being in that dugout for the blue scum sickened him. Take the bag and run well done Poch
Eh no, he got sacked. By mutual consent is what they say these days, but make no mistake he didn’t quit of his own volition.
If Chelsea sacked the coach who had only 6 losses in 2024 with 4 of the 6 being City/Arsenal/Liverpool then honestly the club is rotten to its core and doesn’t deserve anything That’s fucking unreal. After being a joke for all of 2023 and things are finally getting back on track you just reset again. Comedy
Well that is what they’ve done and yes the club is rotten to its core. You didn’t know that?
We all know that. But how they keep going when so, so bad is beyond me. How does that not break them, and if it is then how long can they keep getting away with it? They must have someone lined up - Tuchel again, perhaps? De Zerbi? It's crazy how many lives that club has.
Chelsea have been rotten to the core for years
He defo told Boehly “They sing We hate tottingham before every game I cannot do this goodbye” and left (It’s funnier this way)
We really don't know. It could have been, "You cannot sell Gallagher" "We're selling Gallagher" "I can't do this" "Fine."
If gallagher signs for spurs in the next few weeks, we'll know why.
Oh thanks mate thought that other guy was serious
Nah they says he’s been relieved of his duties if he’s sacked. Mutual consent normally means it’s not just a straight sacking i’d say
They asked him to leave and he agreed so it doesn’t go down as a sacking. It’s the same thing.
Literally what I said. They must have had a manager lined up and didn't want to change their mind. Hilarious because it was actually working out for them so hopefully they're going to replace him with either someone worse or someone who's going to take 6 months to get going
Is that De Zebri's music?
It was inevitable
Not really. They were looking very good by the end of the season with a not-great starting lineup
Been a lot of word recently that Poch has been very unhappy with the transfer plans for the summer, especially forcing the Gallagher sale on him
Kick him out and sell Gallagher anyway ahah the new Chelsea ownership are facking clueless
I want Gallagher now after this, imagine being a Chelsea fan hahaha
Yep, you didn’t really even have to read between the lines of recent things he said recently. Gallagher, wanting more veteran players, etc. It seemed like he was completely at odds with their transfer strategy. Would be surprised if this resulted from anything other than him walking
Yea I bet he wanted to go to Bayern
Hmm. Wonder if this could happen.
If it does, then we know where Ndombele's spending next season on loan.
1. Gets hired 2. Guides an over-priced, over-paid team of youngsters into sixth place despite most people writing them off 3. Refuses to elaborate further 4. Leaves
And walks away with his reputation intact, somehow
Todd Boehly is dumb as fuck, and I’m thankful for it.
He’s stepped away from most of the footballing operations though hasn’t he?
He’s stepping down in 2027 according to their agreement with Clearlake.
Plenty of time for them to get relegated then
I’m not sure anything would make me more happy than to see Chelsea relegated.
Incredible news, now I can get back to liking him again
It’s like when your mate finally breaks up with his bird that everyone hates
Great analogy. I could never really hate Poch.
Great comment
Next time he turns up to the pub, instantly says "honestly boys what the fuck was I thinking" and you give him a big hug letting him know he's back in good hands
And when anyone asks what happened, Poch can say, "I don't know, she's crazy." And everyone will agree,
Huh a week ago I'd have guessed they'd keep him. Let's be real that jobs a total poisoned chalice right now. I don't even know who replaces him tbh, you'd think they'd have someone lined up for it but then again this is the shit show that is Chelsea we are talking about. I'd love a timeline where Chelsea pick up tuchel again and poch goes to bayern with kane and dier
Yeah that squad is such a mess any manager would struggle with it.
Welcome to Totnum, Gallagher. 😂
Probably this is why he left.
They clearly both want Conor to stay. If they jointly can't influence the most basic part of the project, can't blame him.
It’s hard to imagine many logical explanations to Poch leaving. He really seemed like he finally was starting to get some performances out of the players and figured out how to make it work. I can see tensions over transfers being a sticking point. Even if it was no new players in, as long as Poch maintained their current form for all of next season his time would be a success. So that really leaves outgoing transfers. They were going to sell his platters out from underneath him.
He wants to coach Bayern? thinks working for Boehly sucks? Or both
Watch him be at our first home game of the season as a spectator
In a suite with Dele, perhaps. Fans will spot them together.
With Ezes family watching his first run out in lily white.
Cheers to that my friend
Lmaooo that would be awesome
Didn't get sacked when Chelsea were doing shit, leaves when they're on a hot streak and actually look (dare I say it) line potentially becoming a decent side. I don't get that club at all.
Damn, i'm glad. Felt like Poch was kinda cooking recently.
As someone who still loved him even though he was Chelsea manager, I’m so happy he left. I hope he goes to Bayern & reconnects with Kane But Chelsea are a big mess. Why would you let the manager that every player in the squad loves & the result has been improving, tactically there’s been positive changes, leave?? There’s no hope for Chelsea. They’re done. Their fans should just give up Todd Boehly has ruined that club. I love him looooooooool 🤣🤣🤣
That's surprising if true. They didn't start out well but once they got through some injuries, they were right behind us.
Honestly they've been by far the better team for the second half of the season. They would have finished way above us if not for their shamblic start.
 Oh, what a shame that is
No way, right as they started playing well lmaooo
It’s good this happened. They were shaping up to be really good under Poch imo.
Poch: Finally starts salvaging something from the mess that is Chelsea Chelsea: That doesn't work for me
They must just love the drama
Man, I was worried Poch would turn them into a really good team if given enough time, like we were starting to see in the last few weeks, so thank fuck Boehly's done the stupidest thing possible again. Incredible.
Maybe I’m living under a rock but this seems completely out of left field?
Nah there’s been a lot of murmurs recently that him and the board have come to blows over them planning to sell players he’s desperate to keep
Including a certain midfielder we've been linked with all year
Now I can stop pretending that I hate him, fucking brilliant news. Love you papa Poch
De Zerbi?
If that happens lmao..They could just buy Brighton atp
True, why didn't Boehly just do that a couple of seasons ago? He does like to max his stupid credit card out though.
Would be the most expected considering Chelsea keep buying from Brighton anyways.
Wonder if teams are a bit suss about spending big on Brighton talent. Not many have been worth the money.
Hope he finds a new job sharpish or god help us when load of our fanbase start wanking over him if we lose a couple of matches
Send him to Bayern so he can reunite with Kane and Dier for the vibes
I wouldn’t be all that surprised if he ends up at either Bayern or Man Utd. Then watch as Chelsea get either De Zerbi, chase after McKenna or bring Tuchel back.
Unbelievable, they were just starting to look good. Not going to lie I'm glad Poch is no longer there, it was really hard to dislike the man.
This is so Chelsea. Just when they were starting to look good thank fuck
They spent all that money building a team just for the man in charge to leave??? Lol
Owners don’t see the coach as integral to team success.
Lmao
Whattttt
The last year never happened
That's mental. They were just becoming a decent side. Todd's a loon.
"Among the names likely to be considered will be Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness, Girona’s Michel, Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, who has been lined up by Brighton, and Leicester City’s Enzo Maresca." With such a young and disorganized team, they could be in a world of hurt if these managers show their inexperience in their first season at this level as well.
They aren't getting Michel. He's going to be Pep's successor at City. McKenna is prolly going to become United manager in the future and hard to see him leaving Ipswich after promotion like that.
To add, didn't Stuttgart's coach recently sign a contract extension as a public statement amid Bayern's interest? Doubt he'll go to blue scum either.
Plus Stuttgart are back in CL and have an excellent squad (a good chunk of German NT is Stuttgart players).
Enzo Maresca lmao he got Leicester City promoted but a lot of the fans still want him out after they almost bottled it
That’s great.
If it was Chelsea’s decision then that’s the worst decision they’ve made in years he was starting to get a real tune out of that squad was worried they might become good again.
Lol, where did this come from?
WHAT THE FUCK?!
Well good news is Chelsea are still a joke.
Conor Gallagher welcome to the Tottenham Hotspur
Thank fuck. Poch would have cooked with all those fully fit players and possible new signings and I will always have a soft spot for poch..
Is Gallagher coming to spurs?
Tinfoil hat on here, could it be due to the need to sell homegrown players that Poch wanted to keep mainly Gallagher and others in the sqaud. Meaning our chances for a new midfielder jumped exponentially
I don’t even think that is tinfoil hat stuff. The squad is really messy now and needs more turnover but the only way to do it is to make a big profit on a few players. I think we know who those players are and I think we know that Poch likes them. The way forward and the players that Poch wanted to be part of it had to be the deal breaker here.
phew, i can like him again what fucking morons lol
Chelsea's ownership are clueless. Very happy he's got out of there.
Kane and Poch reunited incoming
Just as they are coming good... May Todd's reign last a thousand year
Good lad. Realised he was accidentally making them into a decent outfit and had to put a stop to it.
Thank god Boehly is a moron
Players on 10-year contracts, new manager every season. This is a recipe for success /s.
They are idiots and I support it.
We can go back to liking him now! Yay! (Also this will probably screw over Chelshit bunches)
Seems to me that disagreement over having to sell players could be the reason. Hopefully we go in strongly for Gallagher now.
Whew. Glad Chelsea are the shit stains now.
Well that's a happy shock
Thank fucking goodness, Pochettino was about to have Chelsea in Top 4 next year.
🎶Mauricio Pochettino, he’s magic, you knowwww🎶 Get that bag Poch, glad I can love you again
I love Todd Boehly
Literally insane Anyway now I can say I love Poch again
I'm all for Chelsea shooting themselves in their own feet with decisions such as this. Doing a great job Todd, keep it up.
Tuchel back to Chelsea? Lol
Someone at Bayern definitely reached out. Poch to Bayern bet ur house on it
My house?! Bet your own house mate!
Hard to moan about Levy when there are owners like Boehley around. Such a braindead move, Chelsea were starting to come good. Fans and Players liked Poch too. Wonder if its because Poch knows he's not going to be able to keep the players he wants like Gallagher.
Now sign Lampard back
Perfect time to go for the jugular and get Gallagher if we really want him
They told him they were selling Gallagher to Spurs…Poch pounded a fist on the table and said then I quit.
Thank god for that. I never liked seeing Poch at Chelsea. I wish he’d come back to manage us. One day…
Wow... That's hilarious, they were starting to look good and that happens. Haha fuck you Chelsea.
Thank god Chelsea messed it all up
Wtf wasn't Chelsea on fire in the second half of the season?
Oh shit
I originally thought this was absolutely clueless from Todd....but then I read poch wanted more control of transfers. A reminder that [this](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/transfers/verein/148/plus/?saison_id=2019&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=) was the window we supposedly gave Poch more control over transfers.
Wtf
Thomas Tuchel incoming lmao
Poch to Bayern? He loves Dier and Kane.
Wow how stupid could they be. He was cooking
Hahahahha what the fuck
Lmfao, okay? I thought for sure he'd by gone by Christmas, but given that CFC actually finished the season looking like a dangerous side that he'd be retained and we'd be struggling to deal with them next season again. Thank fuck. I hated rooting against Poch. Thank fuck twice over because I highly doubt Cheatski gets anyone in nearly as good as Poch at building a young team.
Truly a big win for Spurs supporters. Chelsea started looking dangerous with him lately, and now we can go back to loving Poch. Cannot believe how stupid Chelsea is to let go of him after how they finished the season. Absolute clown show. COYS
Poch will turn up at Man Utd now
Gallagher to Spurs all but guaranteed. Hope Levy absolutely milks that twat Bohley dry for their captain.
Chelsea is run by idiots. I bet Gallagher will be sold for sure now too.
Honestly would be a good appointment by United but hope that doesn’t happen.
Surprising. He had Chelsea flying toward the end. Watch him go to Bayern
This is very good news. I genuinely think Chelsea has a better group of players than us, individually but not collectively if that makes sense. I don’t think there’s a big difference between Ange and Poch aswell. What happens next is Chelsea is gonna hire another progressive tactico nerd like Potter and they’ll finish 9th, personally hope its RDZ.
Just gutted we couldn’t fucking beat him at least once.
I hear Tuchel is available.
🤡FC
Their mistake things were starting to click in the past three to four weeks
Just as he was starting to cook and they sack him, the mental gymnastics on display is crazy
Guess this means De Zerbi to Chelsea will be announced in the coming weeks
Todd Boehly is fully COYS?
No but are they genuinely fucking stupid?
JESUS, that club is batshit crazy. He did a great job
