Todd Bohely sacked alot more than Tuchel tho who were key parts of the footballing structure like Maria Granovskaia who ran the club and Pete Cech who was Director of football who he got rid off too quickly and should have kept in position until they new replacements were in.

 

So he is someone who has no issues sacking staff then?

[DE.]

Boehly made a pretty big gamble on Potter, so it would look really bad for him to get rid now after handing Potter and his staff five year deals, presumably based on it being a long-term project. With that said results are king and for a club of Chelsea's stature it can't go on like this for too much longer, regardless of injuries and general bad luck.

I think he'll get until the end of the season, assuming results pick up somewhat over the next month or two, but Chelsea seem almost certain to miss out on the CL places now. Assuming they finish between 5th and 7th he'll probably get the summer and early next season to prove himself, but if results are still not good enough you have to think he'll be gone, regardless of how much it'll cost.

Surely Lampard will be clearing his desk by Monday.

Players blasted off the pitch with “You’re not fit to wear the shirt”.

Brentford v Bournemouth : good to see Raya playing in Premiership. Not got same feeling for Rothwell (£££) on bench though.

[Hasta]

This is one of the most interest prem seasons for a long while.
 

Relegation wide open. Top 4 wide open. ‘Big’ clubs struggling and a surprise team looking like they in the running for the title.

Ref fell for Toney penalty. He held on to defenders arm, turned him then fell over. Ridiculous that we have VAR and they keep quiet.

Never a penalty and refs should know Toney's tricks.

See the Everton owners were advised to stay away today due to a realistic threat on their safety - imagine Jim White and co will be blasting Everton fans, won’t they? 
 

And that decision to allow the Fernandes goal today to stand is ludicrous, Rashford literally runs towards and then along the path of the ball, you can’t be more interfering with play without touching it if you tried so will be interesting to see if this is a precedent or just a mistake

Crazy decision. This is top premiership football, Rashford is clearly offside with the ball infront of him then Fernandes nips in with a shot and a goal is given.

People say this after every Everton defeat and for whatever reason it never happens. Only managed 3 wins during the entire season, should have been out on his arse a long time ago, and imagine he would have been if he wasn't Frank Lampard.

It's unbelievable but from what the Ref expert said during the match  it was the correct decision under current rules and ref guidelines.

It was the first thing I saw when I switched over from the Rotherham rogering.

Why are so many keen to see Lampard sacked.

Let him stay and relegate them, they've been shit for years.

[Upside Down]

I agree. Give him all the time in the world.

Hopefully he can give them a double drop.

Crazy decision to allow the Fernandes goal. 

On the initial pass, Akanji actually slows to play him offside. Then speeds up again once the ball is played. So he wasn't in position. Then there's no way Ederson wasn't impeded by Rashford being there. He was facing someone shootint either to his left or his right by Rashford being there. If Rashford wasn't involved the Fernandes shot would have been far easier to read.

I've only just watched 'No Time To Die', and I've not got over it yet. This phrase is haunting me.

An awful decision.

The opposite happened in the Brighton-Liverpool game. TAA was in an offside position. A Liverpool player shot, it deflected off a Brighton defender, and TAA without touching it shepherded it out for a throw. Linesman flagged, offside given. Zero consistency.

anyone know alot about Mudryk?

[Mattyblue]

So that’s about half a billion quid this new owner has spent in about 8 months… thought you said the Abramovich-esque spending was over?

Nope! 

Only that he's probably overvalued by the odd 90 million quid. Bloody ridiculous. 

[simongarnerisgod]

mudryk has played 50 games in the ukranian league scored 9  goals and now he`s suddenly worth 90 million quid🤣  someone is having their pants pulled down here
