They differ to spurs and leicester in that they have some fabulous players that would command big feesIf they aren't careful they will go the same way as Spurs/Leicester.
No European football next year, very long contracts on big money, still losing massive amounts despite using up the old tricks (selling womens team etc)
For over a billion pounds spent I think their squad is pretty garbage tbhThey differ to spurs and leicester in that they have some fabulous players that would command big fees
Yes but the difference is the fee's they could recoupFor over a billion pounds spent I think their squad is pretty garbage tbh
I would say Reece James, Enzo, Joao Pedro and a fit and firing Palmer would even touch any elite squads
TrueYes but the difference is the fee's they could recoup
The likes of Caicedo, Estevao, Fofana, Hato would all go for decent fee's
Yes the amount of players on their books is their biggest concernTrue
They are all tied down on ridiculously long contracts mind, Mudryk for example still has 5yrs left on his deal, he has not kicked a ball in nearly 2 years and was signed in 2023, they have only just managed to get Sterling off the books
No incentive for these players to want to leave
Do I think Chelsea will go for Frank a 3rd time? No.
BUT
There is a tremendous level of delusion in this thread from people who think Frank wouldn’t jump ship immediately if Chelsea did come in for him. Chelsea are his club, he’d be quadrupling his wages, he’d be closer to home etc etc. Add to the fact that any top 6/8 finish would be an improvement for Chelsea next season and it’s a no brainer.

The fact it is his club etc would certainly have to be a huge pull for him . A lot less travelling and more home time shouldn’t be ignored either. I think they’ll go for the Bournemouth manager personally but whoever they get is on a hiding to nothing wit their current ownersDo I think Chelsea will go for Frank a 3rd time? No.

Why would getting the chelsea job make him not a serious managerIf we wants to be looked at as a serious manager going forward he will not even look at them
They won't, Iraola will be going to Athletic Bilbao next seasonThe fact it is his club etc would certainly have to be a huge pull for him .

Lampard would be perfect for Chelsea, but Coventry City is perfect for Lampard. He loves it with us and there's no pressure on him here like there would be at another big club. Even if we got relegated he would still keep his job with us.Problem is I actually think he'd be perfect for them this time around. Id like to think his pride will mean he won't go back after being let go twice! Id only really worry if the England job came available at the moment
Will be really interesting to see how Doug King, the fanbase/this forum handles any potential struggles next season.Even if we got relegated he would still keep his job with us.
Similarly, Newcastle were forced to sell Elliot Anderson to Forest to satisfy PSR rules, yet neither player nor Newcastle wanted it to happen.I was out celebrating last night with Sunderland, Newcastle and Villa supporters. The Villa supporter told me that they had to sell their best player before this season started because they never made it into Europe. It's a totally different pressure for the top sides.
Anyone being realistic knows it won't be easy next season, but depending on who comes in of course, I think we will survive.Will be really interesting to see how Doug King, the fanbase/this forum handles any potential struggles next season.
How is it good for his career if he jumps ship to Chelsea at every opportunity? When he left Derby to join Chelsea, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity that you don’t turn down.If we wants to be looked at as a serious manager going forward he will not even look at them and they would view 6-8 as abject failure
