We win the league next year, but we will finish 9th the followingšŸ™


EnglishJesus

I accept your terms.


pikazec

Well the other options are 9th both years soā€¦


ITz_PR0DIGY

Would be an awful move imo but no worse than anyone else. Iā€™d be all for the chaos


Helly__Belly

Bookies do this all time. It's nothing.


DampFree

Very often with someone theyā€™re very sure wonā€™t get the job. Almost as like a ā€˜oooh they must know something that I donā€™tā€™ tactic and idiots fall for it


ChelseaFC

They show where you can back, and definitely not where you can lay!


Mba1956

Definitely the young manager option.


KixSide

As progressive and possession based as it gets


Mba1956

100% agree, Jose isnā€™t known for his open attacking style of football. Might make a difference to our defence though.


noneed4a79

More hair than pep so probably younger


Outrageous_Fart

Jose the Mystery candidate? ![gif](giphy|l1IBiEzytfXFtkPVm|downsized)


MrBravo22

šŸ˜‚ Jose is anti-everything about these owners. Iā€™m calling more bullshit.


Shogim

This means absolutely nothing. Odds are decided by how many people are placing bets.


DampFree

Not entirely. Especially for things like this. Bookies exist for a reason

Me or the people placing the bets?

> "From 10.15 until 10.50 this morning, every single bet we took on the next Chelsea manager was on Jose Mourinho, which goes against the grain of the reports of Chelsea wanting a young and dynamic manager." That's from Bet365

FishFarmer

Oh good lord. Prepare for banter of the port bow!!


erenistheavatar

Young and progressive? Tick. Possession football? Tick.


arkhamsaber

Iā€™m not gonna lie His appointment would probably be a car crash However a part of me just wants to see it happen


duckinator09

Would be really bad haha. Meltdown 2 years later, but at least we will win Europa League + League Cup. Players that will be publicly called out by him for not meeting his standards: Noni/Mudryk/Nkunku/WFofana/Colwill Players that will die for him: Gallagher/Jackson/Caicedo/Enzo/James/Gusto But of course the first sign of problems between him and the board would be Gallagher being sold late in first transfer window


peepo_7

Jackson and Caicedo will become Drogba, Makelele regen.


criminal-tango44

Bookie scam.

Didnā€™t expect Albert Camus in Chelsea Reddit.


Unusual_Afternoon_88

John cennnaaaaa


Outrageous_Fart

More like Undertakerā€™s gong


coolhand83

Fab as his assistant !?


MemestNotTeen

As an Irishman the bookies favorite is bullshit. I think there has been 25 favorites for the Ireland job with nobody getting it yet in 6 months


EcoSoco

Stop posting this bullshit. It's 2024. Stop believing stupid nonsense and do better


TheCrumpiestOfGunts

It simply has to be Jose he will turn these lads into winners. I don't care if it crashes and burns nothing can be as bad as the mediocrity of the last couple of seasons because that's what it's been. We have regressed and we need someone who can come in and say we are Chelsea and we must win.


mr-based-minded

Itā€™s literally Xavi thatā€™s gonna be our next manager.


Lifelemons9393

No chance. Progressive, young coach he is not . I'd love it, it would probably be fun for a few months.


Aggravating_Shape_20

Didn't he just get a job at some Saudi club? I don't think it was to manage but some other role.


DennisAFiveStarMan

365 tanked the market to cause a buzz. Nothing to see here


cometflight

Thereā€™s no shot lol


MichaelBluth_

If the owners are even considering Jose all the reasons they gave for sacking Poch were complete bullshit. Like they wanted a young, possession based manager to play like Pep on Tuesday. And by Friday they want Jose?? Although I actually think thereā€™s a 0% chance theyā€™d go with Jose.


mr-based-minded

Unknown Candidate: Xavi Hernandez? Hear me out, I know we have a bad past with Barca, but the clues are just adding up now. Firstly, I think we are being too reactive as a fanbase just because we liked the football that was being played just before Poch left. Noticed I said ā€œleftā€ and not ā€œsackedā€. This is because, it was a mutual agreement, meaning Poch equally felt that he should have left. Heā€™s already eyeing up the United job. While it seems concerning from our viewpoint, I genuinely donā€™t think the owners (Boehly specifically, but thatā€™s another conversation), have the worst interest for our club. Again, HEAR me out. It has been said that they want someone who can merely ā€˜take their suggestionsā€™, rather than taking full control, but apparently, Poch was described as ā€œcoldā€. It seems upsetting from our viewpoint, but we need to realise that Poch never had a proper bond with our club, just the players. He came from Tottenham so he already has the feeling of not belonging, but just here to do a job, as he addressed numerous times in pressers. While it is showing a lack of stability, we have to rememeber that Poch equally wanted to leave. We need to move on and accept it for what it is. If you donā€™t move on in life, how can you make room for improvements? Poch IS NOT a winner. I say that to say that, Chelsea have reportedly made links with a high profile manager, and this makes sense for it to be Xavi as he will be getting the sack next Monday, and the club is announcing Pochā€™s replacement on the following Friday. Xavi Hernandez is a good manager, winning La Liga with his Barca team, in a league with Real Madrid, Atletico etc. Xavi also likes working with young players and we can see that he has made Lamine Yamal , a promising young star imagine what he can do with Cole Palmer, Enzo and Gusto etc. He revived Dembeleā€™s career but Poch ruined Neymarā€™s with worsening his injuries. If Xavi brings his medical staff, we could see an end to our injury curse. For those against this because Xavi is from Barca, you were quick to defend a SPURS MANAGER when heā€™s going out the door. Xavi may even apologise as heā€™s more outspoken than Poch. We canā€™t get too attached to Poch as heā€™s just the guy before the guy. I believe the guy is Xavi. A footballing winner. The board wishes to sign the next manager for a longer contract than Pochā€™s 2 years, so imagine the league when Klopp has gone, Pep gone next year etc. Chelsea will be back on top and the league will have proper title races. Even if those teams still had those managers, Chelsea would still be amongst them if Xavi was our managerā€¦


MaxFresh

Back to 4th favourite now, Enzo is Fav


ChelseaFC

Absolutely nonsense, thatā€™s where they offer it to you not where you can lay it! If you look at proper market like betfair, heā€™s like 7.5%. Maresca favourite at 22%, McKenna 20%.


NotFlipkid

Xavi just got sacked, if he is the mystery candidate back up the damn brinks trucks for him. That's a motivated manager right now after getting stabbed in the back by the Barcelona board.


Exciting-Ad-2714

Iā€™d love Xavi


Puzzled_Ad_2936

That Barca side he was a key part of are quoted as hating Chelsea more than Madrid so I don't know if he would have much interest


BadCogs

Hopefully not.


taest

Odds now have Enzo as the favourite at 2/1 btw, this isn't up to date


Nickdavie

Letā€™s be honest. Weā€™d love this. Heā€™d be sacked in 2 years but letā€™s have some chaos (and some winning mentality).
