Chelsea's 雇う and 解雇する／砲火／射撃 culture is BACK! Todd Boehly is axeing 経営者／支配人s at a greater 率 than Roman Abramovich ever did as Mauricio Pochettino joins Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter on the scrapheap

• e-mail

The 職業 description for the next Chelsea 経営者／支配人 - likely 存在 草案d as we speak に引き続いて the almost-shock 出発 of Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday - is one 十分な of contradictions.?

The Blues' 階層制度, now led by co-controlling owners Behdad Eghbali and Jose Feliciano and run by co-冒険的な directors Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Stewart are thought to want someone 'young and 進歩／革新的な' - but with enough experience to bring silverware and 支持する／優勝者s League football 支援する to Stamford 橋（渡しをする）.?

The new 経営者／支配人 will be 仕事d with （手先の）技術ing a new 身元 and building a '事業／計画（する）' at the club, while 同時に having next-to-no 役割 in player 新規採用.?

And they will have to manage a team of raw, under-experienced talents with compassion 同様に as a fan base used to results at pace and disgruntled after two 騒然とした seasons. Needless to say, it is not a 役割 that is filled easily.?

Since the May 2022 引き継ぎ／買収 and the end of the Roman Abramovich 時代 in west London, the picture today is scarcely recognisable to 支持者s that followed the club through their glory days in the 2000s and 2010s. Instead of 戦う／戦いing at the 最高の，を越す of the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する, Chelsea fans were likely delighted to （人命などを）奪う，主張する sixth place after ending the 2022-23 season in 12th - and silverware remains a distant dream にもかかわらず a number of cup final 外見s.?

Mauricio Pochettino's 出口 by 相互の 同意 on Tuesday had all the hallmarks of a classic Chelsea 解雇／（訴訟の）却下

The former 刺激（する）s 経営者／支配人 arrived at Stamford 橋（渡しをする） on a wave of 楽観主義 11 months ago

Chelsea's co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali (left) and 冒険的な directors Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Steward (権利, L-R) were behind the 決定／判定勝ち（する）

But one characteristic of Chelsea's 最近の past has remained, and it's one no other club would ever envy - a 激しい 手渡す when it comes to 雇うing and 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing.?

In just two years, Todd Boehly and Clearlake 資本／首都's 国際借款団／連合 have even managed to outdo the 誘発する／引き起こす-hungry oligarch. Abramovich's 19 years as Chelsea's paymaster saw him 監督する 15 管理の stints, or 0.78 metaphorical 経営者／支配人s a year. In just over two years, BlueCo have watched five men try - and fail - to wrench Chelsea into the new 時代, more than 二塁打 the ロシアの's 率.? ?

EXCLUSIVE

Inside the final 会談 that led to Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea 出口... as sources say he wouldn't follow 'puppet' 戦略

Their first, Thomas Tuchel, was 相続するd, but the German 経営者／支配人 （機の）カム with pedigree. Not only had the 50-year-old 以前 managed at clubs 含むing Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, he was considered one of the 同時代の game's finest tacticians.?

He had also managed to pull off a 仕事 which might have seemed impossible at the start of the 2020-21 season, when the Blues were stuttering under Frank Lampard, in winning the 支持する／優勝者s League.?

A 最高の Cup and Club World Cup 勝利，勝つ the に引き続いて season both helped to 支える Tuchel's position at Stamford 橋（渡しをする）, as did the then-coach's thoughtful 成果／努力s to guide the club through the start of Russia's 侵略 of ウクライナ共和国.?

With Abramovich 敏速に 許可／制裁d by the UK 政府, Tuchel 誓約（する）d to '運動 a seven-seater' to Lillie himself to see Chelsea feature in their 支持する／優勝者s League tie if the club could not 回避する their 委任統治（領）d travel cap. 軍隊d as the club's public 直面する to opine on everything from his owner, to the war itself, all the way through to the race for the European 最高の，を越す-flight positions, the 長，率いる coach appeared to 代表する a 人物／姿／数字 of 安定 and 連続 during the turbulency behind the scenes.?

Pochettino's 出口 could yet 誘発する a dressing room 反乱 予定 to his 関係 with the players

Thomas Tuchel had 十分な credit in the bank after winning the 支持する／優勝者s League in 2021

But the 長，率いる coach was not seen to be on board with the new 所有権's 見通し of the 未来

But for all of his talents, Tuchel's divisiveness had seen him 勧めるd に向かって the 出口 in both Paris and Dortmund and his time at Chelsea （機の）カム to a 類似して murky end, just 100 days after BlueCo's 引き継ぎ／買収.?

Results on the pitch were 不安定な. Chelsea sat sixth in the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する that September, and had started their 支持する／優勝者s League （選挙などの）運動をする with a dismal 1-0 敗北・負かす to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia. But the 割れ目s were more 目だつ away for the pitch, まっただ中に 憶測 that Tuchel had lost the support of a number of 重要な 発言する／表明するs in the dressing room.?

Even more telling was Boehly's 地位，任命する-mortem in the days after Tuchel was 解雇する／砲火／射撃d.?

'Our 見通し for the club was to find a 経営者／支配人 who really 手配中の，お尋ね者 to 共同製作する with us, a coach who really wa nted to 共同製作する,' the American 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある said.?

'There are a lot of 塀で囲むs to break 負かす／撃墜する at Chelsea. Before, the first team and 学院 didn't really 株 data, didn't 株 （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） about where the 最高の，を越す players were coming from. Our goal is to bring a team together; all of that needs to be a 井戸／弁護士席-oiled machine.

'The reality of our 決定／判定勝ち（する） was that we weren't sure that Thomas saw it the same way we saw it. No one is 権利 or wrong, we just didn't have a 株d 見通し for the 未来. It wasn't about Zagreb, it was about the 株d 見通し for what we 手配中の，お尋ね者 Chelsea to look like.'?

The 感情 continues to ぼんやり現れる large にもかかわらず its 可能性のある for clouded 決定／判定勝ち（する）-making. It would later become （疑いを）晴らす that even the 所有権 believed they might have misstepped with their 迅速な 解雇／（訴訟の）却下 of the former coach.?

Co-controlling owner Todd Boehly has been keen to posit the club as a work in 進歩

Chelsea's first 試みる／企てる at a 事業／計画（する） 経営者／支配人 - Graham Potter - struggled to get off the ground

The former Brighton 長，率いる coach struggled with a 広大な squad and 確かな strong egos within it?

Mail Sport 明らかにする／漏らすd in May 2023 that it was 受託するd 知恵 within the club's 塀で囲むs that on the heels of a bumper 移転 window that summer - the first of a number - the club should have held on to Tuchel for the season in a 企て，努力，提案 to 始める，決める up an 整然とした 移行.?

非，不，無 of the 条件s of Tuchel's 解雇（する）ing primed 条件s for his 交替／補充 later that month. Graham Potter was a 経営者／支配人 far more emblematic of the new 所有権's 見通し for the club, a 進歩／革新的な and creative 長，率いる coach who had over-達成するd with Brighton.?

Chelsea are a bonfire of vanity, 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing Mauricio Pochettino with their amorphous drivel. Todd Boehly's 味方する are 支援する to square one, 令状s OLIVER HOLT

The south coast club have often been 特記する／引用するd as a model for Chelsea's new 時代 予定 to their sophisticated usage of data, and the Seagulls have been pilfered more than once as Chelsea have sought to replicate their 決まり文句／製法 with on-pitch talents, 冒険的な directors, and coaches all moving north to London.?

But for all of Potter's impressive work with his former club, the 初期の mountain to climb for the 後継の coach in autumn 2022 was a raft of a 移転s he hadn't requested. Some, like former 兵器庫 的-man Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, had to 特に 支持するd for by his 前任者.?

Difficult too was the step up. Potter had never …に出席するd a 支持する／優勝者s League match, let alone managed a two-time 勝利者 against a seven-time 支持する／優勝者 in AC Milan, the Blues' group 行う／開催する／段階 競争相手s.?

A 長引いた break for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar scythed through the club's budding 勢い, and Potter's chances of finding harmony within his over-stuffed squad was その上の 妨害するd by another wallet-draining 移転 window spend which brought players 含むing World Cup 勝利者 and Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk to west London. Grappling for balance, Chelsea fumbled to 11th.?

Bruno Saltor oversaw one match に引き続いて the 出発 of his old boss Potter in April

Frank Lampard was 草案d in 厳密に as a 管理人 but failed to 上げる the souring mood

にもかかわらず 存在 再会させるd with his former players, the club legend 設立する 基準s 井戸／弁護士席 short

As with Pochettino's 出口, Potter's marching orders were given just as Chelsea looked to turn a corner. But the rot had already 始める，決める in, with too many players feeling the 不安定 amongst swollen 階級s, and Potter's inexperience telling as he 徐々に lost the dressing room to 星／主役にするs with far bigger egos than his own modest and good-natured personality.?

Chelsea 星／主役にするs in 'WhatsApp MELTDOWN' at Mauricio Pochettino's axing as stunned Nicolas Jackson and Moises Caicedo break 階級 to 地位，任命する their 不信

With just two months left of the season, BlueCo made the 決定／判定勝ち（する） to move on Potter, the first of their '事業／計画（する）' 経営者／支配人s, with his assistant Bruno Saltor staying on to 監督する just one match - a 0-0 draw against Liverpool - before 逃げるing in his former boss' footsteps.?

The 任命 of Lampard as 暫定的な 経営者／支配人 in April 2023 階級s の中で the 所有権's most baffling. 憶測 was rife that Boehly had done so on the advice of his の近くに 知識 James Corden, friendly with the Chelsea icon after 会合 him on A League Of Their Own.?

Lampard was 毅然とした that the 関係 between the three men hadn't been a factor, but the wealth of 代案／選択肢s for the 長，率いる coach's re-任命 weren't altogether persuasive.?

The former midfielder had earlier in the season been 解雇する／砲火／射撃d from Everton, on the heels of 11 losses in the 14 games before his Goodison Park ejection. Hope that he would 供給する Chelsea fans with a sense of nostalgia and 上げる team spirits の中で the bloated squad was 楽観的な.?

Instead, Lampard as 管理人 oversaw a 哀れな end to the season wherein Chelsea won just one of their 11 games and the 45-year-old all but drove a 火刑／賭ける through the heart of his 未来 管理の aspirations. Frequently terse and 残酷に honest when discussing the squad's fitness levels and training 条件s, Lampard was a stop-gap who failed to 上げる spirits when vitally needed.?

Mauricio Pochettino had ample time and pre-season to get to 支配するs with his players - before the 傷害s began to 開始する

Club captain Reece James is just one who has been absent for almost the entire （選挙などの）運動をする

Pochettino's 任命 代表するd a fresh start. The 後継の 経営者／支配人 would have a pre-season. There would be enough player sales to 辛うじて 許す for the third profligate 移転 window to bring in new 新採用するs, and the Argentine 経営者／支配人 appeared to blend the twin values of experience with 最高の，を越す-flight football and a 'visionary' style.?

Things did not go によれば 計画（する）. 計画（する）s, in fact, which were torpedoed by an unrelenting 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of 傷害s so 深遠な that Pochettino barely trained summer 2023 調印 Romeo Lavia. The players favoured by the club were 有望な but inexperienced, the 欠如（する） of inexperience 主要な to dropped leads and 行為／行う 禁止（する）s.?

But slowly, the 外見 of a 機能（する）／行事ing 味方する （機の）カム together, as big money 調印s such as Moises Caicedo 設立する their rhythm and Cole Palmer 現れるd as a 最高の starlet. After a season without European football, the Blues can 選ぶ up their パスポートs again for the next （選挙などの）運動をする. Chelsea may not have looked like serial 勝利者s but they appeared to be 似ている the 事業／計画（する） team BlueCo had 雇うd Pochettino to build.?

Chelsea fans won't have the chance to see what Pochettino could have made of his players with another year, with the club instead choosing to 圧力（をかける） the reset button yet again.?

But a question 示す ぐずぐず残るs over who the club believe they can attract to step into the 52-year-old's shoes.?

If there is a Frankenstein's monster of a 長，率いる coach who can fulfil all of BlueCo's 必要物／必要条件s while feeling stable enough in their position not to be 影響する／感情d by the 永久の 脅し of the 解雇（する）, にもかかわらず 安心s to the contrary.?

Pochettino can leave the club with his 長，率いる held high after a strong league finish but his 交替／補充 will have an even more challenging 簡潔な／要約する

For the talented young 経営者／支配人 the 所有権 group so 不正に wants, the 任命 would 代表する a 賭事 潜在的に too large to （問題を）取り上げる. It's hard to parse what metrics Chelsea's 階層制度 are grading their 事業／計画（する） with if 最高の，を越す-four and silverware are 要求するd within the first season - 実験（する）s Jurgen Klopp failed in his debut （選挙などの）運動をする at Anfield.?

When asked in April of last year what he thought of Potter's 解雇（する）ing, the man who had に先行するd him couldn't （人命などを）奪う，主張する to have been moved 意味ありげに.?

'The タイミング is やめる 素晴らしい because it 同時に起こる／一致するs with me starting the 職業 here. Now there’s another coaching vacancy. That’s all,' Tuchel told reporters すぐに after he was 明かすd at Bayern Munich.?

'It was an 激しい time. But the club has changed massively. That helped me to find some distance,' he 追加するd.?

Some changes have indeed been 大規模な over the last few years. Others have been barely noticeable at all.??
