Did James Corden recommend him too?
How many coaches have these worked out for? Excel in a mid tier club flop massively when big budgets are thrown at them. Emery, Ole, Kovac
Will the next Chelsea manager have a big budget? I doubt it.
They have at least 10 players they can sell to create a budget. Maybe even 15 if they use our youth players next year.
Poch, seriously, the owners must be gluttons for punishment.

You're acting as if he's Ole or Lampard. Good manager, maybe not in the absolute top tier but nevertheless they've gone with way worse appointments in the past. Doubt they hire him in the end anyway.
Nagelsmann seems to have been the front runner the entire time but Poch has essentially replaced Enrique as one of the main candidates.
Yes, get him! How Chelsea operate under Boehly is not much different than PSG. It will be beautiful! And he won't endear himself to Spurs fans either. 
probably spend about 200-250.
I highly doubt he'll actually come but even the fact the club are talking to him is cause for concern. An absolute nothing manager.
Nagelsmann should be way ahead of Poch in the running. Hell, I'd even take Enrique ahead of him and he's a manager I don't even rate that highly.

Yeah. Really not enamored with any of them. At least you guys got excited of the possibility of ETH. I just don’t get that with any of them. Poch will cement our place as another Spurs, Enrique is overrated and I don’t think Nagelsmann is right for the sheer complexity of this job.
I think whoever they hire is going to have a really difficult beginning. They may lay ground work for the future but I don’t see them staying to see it through sadly.
I beg to differ. I actually rate all the coaches been interviewed more than ETH at worse equal. Don't let the crowd fool you. Nagelsmann achieved more than ETH with a less fancy team Liepzig and Poch beat ETH with less fancy Spurs to get to Champions league final against the best Ajax team ETH assembled. Both will win Dutch league with Ajax because they have proven it by winning with Bayern and PSG both the dominant team in respective leagues. In EPL Poch achieved more than ETH with less fancy Spurs with shoe string. Enrique well above and i think he is waiting for City Job if Pep leaves given the Barcelona connection at the club.
Therefore i don't see how ETH is better than them. Don't be fooled by ranting by fans that they are inferior because they are not.
What the hell is this. We're now deliberately ignoring the latest (and therefore most relevant) evidence?
Back on topic, I'd rather hire Xabi Alonso than Pochettino
I'm leaning towards Poch out all the possibilities as he seems the safest pair of hands for a prem job.
There was talk of Gallardo at one point but that seems to have died away. He would be a very interesting appointment.
He would have been very interesting but I don’t think he speaks English. Enzo would have been fighting father son allegations if he ever had a poor game under Gallardo though
kompany, poch, nagelsman [now out] and one other are the remaining 4 candidates . i think the 4th is gallardo or spalletti
He is a good manager but this Chelsea project is a poisoned chalice. The squad is too big and the players are not that good anyway.
I will be very sad if Poch goes to Chelsea
some talk nagelsman didn't want to compete with other candidates and walked away with the understanding poch was likely getting it.
not sure on ththat rumour tbh

Think this Chelsea squad actually suits Poch's philosophy - with some reinforcement up front.
Kane to Chelsea rumors will start soon enough then? I guess Boehly dealing with Levy will be a spectacle in itself.
I also want to see if Poch gets players he wants. Would be funny if he ends up having to stick with the current players without having to bring in a lot of reinforcements.

Poch will be a great appointment
I think he’s a top manager

I liked Poch as well, even as an Arsenal fan. I liked Potter too.
Chelsea are just ruining managers - they should just appoint Conte and be done with it.
You mean Levy placing a unrealistically inflated price on Kane that nobody should be stupid enough to even dream of paying and Boehly immediately paying it without even attempting to negotiate? It wouldn't be a drawn out saga but Kane himself wouldn't agree to it.
Will be sacked before next season is over.
@Amadaeus How do you think Poch would do at Chelsea?
Pochettino or Nagelsmann means the rest of the PL have nothing to worry about and nothing will change. Bring it on.
The spurs friends I have will be heartbroken if he goes there. Told me for years he’d never go to Barca cause of his Espanyol connections…
Did a good job at Bayern and no doubt will be at a top club next
He lost 3 games all season and was on for a treble, since he left they’ve been knocked out of 2 trophies and won 1 in 5 games they’ve fecked up massively and I’m sure Khan or somebody high up at Bayern will lose their job because of that
Wouldn't be surprised to see Ancelotti go to Brazil and Nagelsmann at Real this summer
Don’t necessarily think Kane would straight up reject it. But it would never get to that position. Levy doesn’t sell to us, we gave them a decent offer for Modric, he begged to come and Levy just kept saying no. Pretty sure we offer more than Madrid and they came in much much later too but the rest is history on that. For you guys it’s a little different, he would just put an outrageous valuation, we’ve never even got that far in negotiations with Levy.
Nagelsmann did not achieve more than ETH at Leipzig at all and Spurs win over Ajax was a massive fluke anyway, and even then the disproportion between the budget of both clubs at the time was vast. Ajax completely outplayed them in London and were cruising at home before the major collapse in the second half, it was a freak result.
Comparing Poch’s decade long PL career with ETH’s 8 months and passing a definite judgment on who did better is just lunacy of highest order.
I think that will be an excellent appointment, assuming that wacko owner lets him do his job

Funny for you maybe yeah.
Chelsea seems to be a total mess right now.
Which available manager would give you cause to worry?
It did take him a while to get going at Spurs. I know the Spurs squad was pretty weak to begin with when he took over but he isn't going to get much time at Chelsea.
Wonder why Nagelsmann withdrawn. The best choice for them would be Enrique if he wants it.
Enrique or Mancini who doesn’t seem to want to be at Italy anymore
