Yes but sometimes you have these sports investment gurus who want too much control over key decisions in the game. I don't know how capable Boehly is of assessing player and manager potential, but the Graham Potter decision was shocking for literally anyone who knows something about soccer. When you sack Tuchel and then give Graham Potter a five years contract, does that put some positive light on the owner? In my opinion it doesn't. If you bring someone in who has never achieved anything big as a coach, why also give that coach a five years contract? That is quite a mysterious decision and the fans are probably also not very pro Boehly at this point.

Tchouameni is considered a player for the future, with Modric and Toni kroos likely to leave soon Tchouameni and Camavinga are set to be replacements for the veterans so I don't see a possibility of selling any of them in the summer.  Toni Kroos has always been an important player for Real Madrid handling a crucial role in the midfield. Months ago it was said that Toni Kroos will likely leave the club at the end of this season but the player has openly said he is willing to extend for an extra year with the year, this is good news to know both Kroos and Modric will be at the club for a further year.

Currently Chelsea has a number of potential young players. Boehly seems to have a long-term project to rebuild Chelsea. But unfortunately he is not supported by a line of management who are able to manage the team well. In his first season as Chelsea owner, Todd had to see his team slump even though he had already spent a lot of money investing in the future of the club. I think Boehly should immediately re-evaluate the management side and then sign an experienced trainer. But if you don't fix the management side, I'm very sure Chelsea will be very difficult to return to compete for the top flight next season.

Potter is a good coach, no doubt about that, but he is also an average coach and the success that Brighton recorded while he was still there was not just because he was a good coach, it was also because the players in the club a very good and technically sound that is why even after he left them they did not start losing games but currently in the Premier League I still in a very good position. Chelsea needs an experienced coach that is not average.

Jude is Real Madrid target player, we already heard the rumors many times lately. However, I don't hear the issue that Real Madrid already send a proposal or an offer to sign him. Not only AC Milan, but Jude Bellingham is also targetted by many top clubs in the world, including top clubs from EPL. I believe Jude Bellingham won't be interested to join AC Milan. He seems to join top clubs in EPL or La Liga. Real Madrid should be the favorite club for him, I am sure Jude wants to move to Real Madrid if Real Madrid is serious to give the offer to sign him. However, with his market value around €120, it can be a problem. I assume Dortmund won't let him go if no club wants to pay above €130.

Rice and Maddison are currently still one of the prima donnas who seem difficult to reach, especially as there are still several big clubs that are like lining up to get this player's signature.
However, it is possible that there will be some surprises if they intend to, especially with their current financial condition, in fact they are still able to compete there.

I don't think signing the coach will be an issue, the issue will be finding the coach. If we are been honest there are limited coaches out there that can really bring out the best of this Chelsea squad, They just have to take their time and analyze all their options well before they hire. They shouldn't make the mistake of going for a popular coach jut because he has proved himself in another club. The situation of that club is not the same with the situation of Chelsea.
Potter was superb at Brighton but he came to Chelsea and became ass.

Chelsea needs to be sure the coach they're hiring can bring out the potential of the players they have because most of the players they signed are young players with potential so if they are not managed properly they will not be able to harness that potential.

Depend on salary and transfer values offering by Newcastle United to sign Declan Rice next season, I sure between Newcastle United and Arsenal have the same excited if Newcastle success get Champion League ticket next season. Depend on staying with West Ham United there are not chance for Declan Rice playing in European competition.

But will be excited by joining Arsenal for next season if this team success winning primer league tittle, but the hunting for Primer League tittle still compete with Manchester City and Declan Rice decision keep staying with West Ham United seems disappointed because he has chance for joining with bigger team.

Of the three player names, each has a fairly small chance for Newcastle to get him in the summer. But I'm pretty sure if they poured in a lot of money it would make bidding easier for sure. On the other hand, Declan Rice and Maddison are something that is very difficult for Newcastle to achieve, these two players have been targeted by several clubs with better futures. But for Ivan Toney I think he will accept an offer from Newcastle because he is a sharp striker and has contributed 18 goals this season for Brentford.

His condition, which is getting worse and worse, makes uncertainty for his future at this time.
Chelsea obviously don't really expect him to come back because indeed Chelsea's hope is the money that will be received by releasing Inter, as well as for Inter at this time.
I think the worst possibility is that if Inter returns Lukaku then it seems he will only go straight to the sales list.

Newcastle already have some targets in their list now as it seems. In addition to Declan Rice they have other targets like James Maddison and Ivan Toney also.

It doesn't look like their job will be easy with signing Rice according to my thinking. Because he is monitored by Arsenal also. If they also make an offer to sign Rice then I think they would be one step ahead of Newcastle. I know Newcastle are richer than them now. But as long as they don't spend much more money I don't expect Rice to sign for Newcastle instead. As for Maddison he can also be targeted by some other big teams also. But maybe Newcastle would have the biggest chance for Toney.

IMO, Todd Boehly thought he understood football. let's flashback, every player the big clubs are after. Todd Boehly always appears in the hunt for these players. unmitigated, he dared to pay a high price for a player who might not be able to play well with his new team. one example, Mudry, one of the players who failed at a very fantastic price.
IMO, the only purchase that can be called a success is Enzo Fernandez, even if the price is too crazy. for the purchase of other players, underperform. except, Felix because he is a loan player. but its performance, quite good when compared to other players.

Well, what I think is the fatal part is the technical director or whatever the name is, it could also be easier to understand we call Chelsea management. I don't understand whether Chelsea's technical director doesn't understand football either, I think one of those who played a role in making Chelsea the situation it is today. for Potter, it wasn't really his fault. Potter arrived at a time when Chelsea's situation was no better. he was appointed to occupy the coaching hot seat, unfortunately, he did not have experience managing a team as big as Chelsea. Well, currently there are two candidates who are predicted to become Chelsea coaches. for me, both Nagelsmann and Enrique are equally good. however, if what is demanded is experience. Obviously, Luis Enriqae is more deserving of the Chelsea coaching hot seat.

Currently there are some rumors that Madrid also want to make a deal with Jude who is being targeted at the moment.
Madrid plans to include Diaz in the clause so that Dortmund are interested in giving Jude to Madrid.
This is actually clearly going to be detrimental to Milan if something like this happens and it's like it or not if Milan want this player then they have to be prepared to pour out some money so that Madrid's plans don't happen.

And the more important problem is that you need to find an outstanding coach who is willing to manage a team that does not play Champions League. That is a huge issue for Chelsea. I read that Nagelsmann was already there, but in Nagelsmann's case it makes more sense to wait and see if another Champions League club wants him. It could be Real Madrid, it could be Barcelona, the incentive to sign a contract with Chelsea right now is not that high unless the salary is unprecedented.

If i am not mistaken this summer his loan contract will be ended but Milan want to hold and permanent him because during this 3 years he has giving good contribution for Milan and actually Madrid were don't mind to release him even the latest news is Madrid already provide price tag for him approximately 25 millions but with the current financial of Milan i think it's very difficult to buy him but luckly Brahim Diaz has confirmed to considering the offers from Milan as his high priority because apparently he felt to comfortable to playing at this team

But i think Milan should be immediately to permanently him because if Milan doesn't looks too serious for this transfer then i am sure Arsenal or other teams possibly can hijack Diaz especially with his quality Diaz has cheap price

It's funny, but it's a risk they have to get. The decision to take a non-champion coach must be borne by them. Lampard didn't convince me for the time being. They must learn so that their mistakes are not repeated. They have tremendous funds, but last week's transfer window they were in a hurry. The players obtained are not to the liking. The budgeted money is simply thrown away uselessly.

Brahim Diaz is reportedly become Arsenal target in the transfer market next summer. On the other hand, Pioli made a statement that he wanted to keep Diaz if possible. Diaz may not be able to return to Madrid because it will make him lose his place to become a main player there, at Milan he has this opportunity, but his status is still unclear with Milan because there is no offer of a contract extension for Diaz after he was on loan for 3 seasons so far.

Maybe no one would have thought that Potter and Lampard were the same two figures that made Chelsea experience such a bad season. What is certain before this really happens is to bring in a new coach who is competent to handle big teams and I think there are still many coaching candidates available at this time. However, the doubts and responsibilities of the new coach will be very heavy because he has to bring Chelsea to become an established team like before with the new players who were brought in last winter. If we look at the EPL standings, Chelsea's position could be even worse, going down to the relegation zone if they continue to lose and for the second leg against Real Madrid it looks like they will lose again and it cannot be denied because this is already a definite victory for Real Madrid.

This kind of thing can actually happen to anyone, because we know that before Chelsea was in really bad conditions, Arsenal and Manchester United had experienced the same thing for the Premiere League in previous seasons.

Still for the initial conditions, of course, the selection of a coach who really suits Chelsea must be done immediately regardless of anything because this can indeed be said to be one of the most important things they have to do.
Potter has failed but this is not the end of everything, they have some great players now and I think it's better for them to just focus on next season on how they can improve with all the great players that are there at the moment.

Of a truth whatever thing that happened to Chelsea, this season could also happen to every other big team. But what makes clubs big and differentiate them from other average clubs is their ability to handle situation such as the one that happened to Chelsea.

Some seasons ago something like that happened to Manchester United, but they were able to handle it almost immediately and they were also struggling for top four. But the case of Chelsea is that they are nowhere close to top four and no hope for Europa League and there is no hope for Europa conference League.That is the worst of it.

I can also say that Chelsea problem was not Graham Potter. Even if it was Tuchel, that is leading the club, they would still be in a very serious mess.
