Laporta seems to be getting hot with Xavi words so he closes his eyes and ears to all the achievements Xavi can give so far to Barcelona, Xavi words that are considered controversial for Laporta certainly make Laporta want to fire Xavi without caring about the effects that Barcelona might get later, seeing what Xavi said that we can indeed say is a fact of course Laporta should respond wisely and even in the match Barcelona against Rayo Vallecano a few days ago instead Barcelona fans continued to shout their support for Xavi with the words Xavi Yes, Laporta No, and it indicates if the fans fully support Xavi with his statement.

Xavi came to Barcelona with his love for the club after he got all the luxuries as a club coach in Qatar, the first season he was able to win the championship trophy even without an adequate squad and this season he stated he wanted to step down from his position, but after Barcelona had difficulty getting a new coach and with various considerations finally Xavi chose to stay at Barcelona,  But now he will be sacked just because of his criticism of Barcelona finances, Isn't that a pretty stupid thing to do by Barcelona later if it is true that they sacked Xavi?
Flick, Tuchel and even Pochettino are experienced and accomplished coaches, but whether they would love and build Barcelona without good financial support, of course not in my opinion, I think there is no coach who loves Barcelona more than Xavi and even Xavi is willing to get out of his safety zone in Qatar and also not taking the rest of his salary this season just for the sake of seeing Barcelona bounce back, will Tuchel, Flick and Pochettino do as Xavi did? Of course not..!!

People that are saying they are surprised by Pochettino quick exit from the club are the ones even surprising me because if Chelsea club happen to be there own club, I'm not sure if they are going to allow him stay after this poor season. The beginning was too poor, middle was as if they weren't even in the league and the end was fair but the over all performance was below average, let's not sugarcoat the conference Europa League, they can actually do better.

There are many people that can handle the team better and more effectively but I don't know why they settle for him but if it's because of the budget, the have gotten result for what they settle before the season but this time, they better take their time.


There was a time it became normal, the fans accepted their faith as a losers until towards the end when things start to get better. They played match for more than a 5 weeks without any win, just draw and losses and that was tiring and exhausting to see one of the best club in the England to become this worst than Tottenham that hardly get to the top of the table.

At least it is good to see that Chelsea are actually looking for a coach and not keeping the current coach any longer.
Yes towards the end they were able to perform really well. Maybe better than they have performed the whole season. But that does not mean in the next season they are not going to suffer. So the decision that they have taken is very good in my opinion. And it looks like they are actually looking for a coach who will be able to handle pressure and also handle such a big squad like Chelsea as well. That is something we have seen many coaches fail to do in recent times. I have also heard that Chelsea is not going back to the previous coaches that they have brought in recently. I am talking about Jose Marino, Conte, and Tuchel.

How is the fans wishing to have Tuchel back bullshit? He was the fan's favorite and won them the last major titles, stood by the club during sanctions and never left them despite the club struggling to pay for expenses as of that period. He had good offers but still stuck with Chelsea throughout the hard period and got sacked the wrong way.

If the fans want him back I don't see anyone problem with it, he's better than the ones shortlisted at the moment.

How would it be Pochetino's decision? I look at them and wonder whats them motive for the new season. Mauricio Pochetino was already beginning to settle down well in the squad and the players backing him up as well. It can't be Pochetino's choice truthfully. I don't know too much about this club of late, i haven't followed them up closey. The thing right now is to get a good replacement who can compete with the top clubs

Mauricio Pochetino did well after his slow start, spending weeks below tenth position on the Premier League Table for a very long period of time. Finally it gladdens me to see that he raised them up again with the help of these hardworking players who helped fought for him as well.
We will see the plans they have for the new season. But making moves for Vincent Kompany makes zero sense to me. As for the case of Erik Ten Hag, he's yet to make no decision neither had the management of Manchester United said shit. Rumours if him moving to Chelsea are not valid.

Agreed. That is most likely the same situation as Bayern is currently facing caused by chelsea sacked its coach without even having a well explanation for what the club sack pochettino so easy. I have read in several media outlets that Bayern is having difficulty finding a new coach and the club is still trying to get the suitable coach to manage it. Bayern has also made offers, but they have been turned down by the coaches. Even Bayern attempted a U-turn for Tuchel, but it failed as tuchel still stand on his choice to leave from bayern munich after disrespectful treat received by him.

I have a feeling the same thing will happen with Chelsea soon. To be honest, Boehly is a dictator owner and he is the root for all of problems in chelsea. He will always kick anything that does not follow his instructions. Poch is good, but not with the owner of Chelsea. This is why the difference of philosophy between poch and todd has made chelsea to sack poch. Poch sees playing football to get a trophy, while todd sees football club as a way to make money from developing then selling the talents.

That's why many people are upset about it. And i think theer will be so many chelsea fans will not be also being respectful to the blues. The chelsea investors group shall have sacked boehly for his non sense decision.

As a result of firing coaches too often it will leave a bad impression on Chelsea, Todd Boehly will have difficulty finding a great coach if his ideology is always expecting something to happen instantly. The coach needs time to form his squad to be more solid, Pochettino has almost completed his task after successfully making Chelsea finish in sixth position. Todd Boehly should be more realistic in assessing Pochettino performance, Chelsea is better than Newcastle and Manchester United in the standings. Now that Chelsea is busy looking for a replacement for Pochettino and will start a new project with a new coach next season, the increasing competition in the Premier League will make it difficult for coaches to achieve the expectations of club officials in a short time.

Personally, I would have liked Xavi to stay, but he might not be what Barcelona needs right now. Barcelona are in a difficult situation and they need a manager that can make them compete against Madrid and Europe with what they have. They need a different approach to the game. They need a manager that can constantly attack, because if you look at it closely, you'll see that Barcelona have quality players and they shout playing better than they did this season. What Barcelona lacks is squad depth, but their first 11 is solid.

With all the names I'm seeing to replace Xavi, Hansi Flick is the only one I'll pick over Xavi. There's no point sacking Xavi for a manager that doesn't have more experience and plays better football than Xavi.
Flick knows how to push his players to the last, he knows how to manage them and bring out the best from them. The problem is, his patter of football is very draining and requires a lot from the players so it's either the players don't adapt or they do very well this season and be too fatigued to do it again the next season. I believe that was the problem he faced in Bayern Munich.
Let's wait and see if Barcelona would fire Xavi at all before we can speculate.

Pochettino was not to be blamed for Chelsea misfortune. There was nothing much he could have done, given that the senior players were constantly hit by injury crisis throughout the season. His squad was full of young players who are still playing together for the first time, pochettino did his best to manage the club to the 6 place finish, how many managers could have done more than he did at Chelsea at same situation of the squad? When his players started turning up at the later half of the season they were producing excellent results which facilitated the 6 place finish and are finally going to play in the European competition next season. I am not in support of Chelsea decision to sack pochettino.

Flick annoumced interested to be Barcelona manager for next season after sacking Xavi Hernandez, but both side not reach persona verbal agreement yet and Barcelona fans expected waiting longer time to see their team manager for next season.
Actually Flick is good reputation manager after success winning Champion League tittle with Bayern Munich but not easy to make Barcelona get any trophies next season because has problem with financial condition.
Just waoting will Barcelona has better performance next season if Flick reach agreement deal to be Barcelona manager?

Todd Boehly feels he has a lot of money so he will reshuffle what he wants. lol This is not something strange because Chelsea often change coaches if they feel they are not suitable but of course this is a lot of criticism for not giving much time to the coach even though it has started to improve with Pochettino.

What I think is that maybe with Chelsea changing the new coach then he will repeat the same badness as Potter, Lampard and Pochettino and the next coach.
Is it possible that the owner of Chelsea wants them to win instantly with a new coach?
Well maybe when Poch was at his worst many called for the sack but when he started to recover he wanted to be kept but that was the club's decision.

Everything happened after Xavi said that without additional strengthening of the team, it would be impossible to compete with Real. Of course, Laporta was disappointed by such words, because if Xavi is allowed, he will constantly demand strengthening of the team. But if we look at the results of last season, Barcelona, with the same squad (possibly with the exception of Dembele), was able to achieve this.

Perhaps Barcelona is currently holding negotiations with Flick, but there is no confirmation of this yet. How quickly everything changes, just recently Xavi was asked to stay in the team, and now he is again one step away from being fired. And now there is more choice among coaches, there is Pochettino, Tuchel and even Flick, whom everyone has already forgotten about.

I agree with your opinion. A team as big as Chelsea should have finished in the top four of the final standings. In terms of recruiting the Company as a coach, perhaps the club has looked at the Company's track record in the Premier League as a coach. Chelsea is also looking for a young manager with great potential, so they are interested in using the Company's services. But Kompany is not the only young manager Chelsea is looking at. The Blues are reportedly also interested in Ipswich Town coach Kieran McKenna. It will be interesting for us to wait and see who Chelsea will choose.

The decision to dispense with Pochettino's service is not bad, in this PL it was very difficult, a 6th place for a club like this is not pleasant, a club like Chelsea should always be among the top 4 places and always compete for the UCL However, things in football are like that and you always have to see things from the point of view that is pleasant for many, I see Chelsea as a strong team, I don't see any kind of debiodald, however a change of coach can refresh some. strategies and look for players who do a superior job or who help current players, and above all move forward.

Chelsea are now interested in hiring ‘the ultimate leader’ as their new manager

At first I wanted to blaspheme Chelsea but it seems that this is out of Chelsea's control because after all, Pochettino's separation from Chelsea was purely from Poche's desire to resign not be fired and this is certainly a condition that is a little regrettable because seeing from what happened and the achievements that Poche got in his first season were a little better so that Chelsea's resignation as coach could make the transition again and again for Chelsea.

But there is really no other way because seeing from the situation that is happening now it also cannot be Chelsea prevented because it is purely from Poche's own wishes so inevitably Chelsea just have to accept it.

There seems to be a bit of a condition where the transition of new players and coaches repeats itself for Chelsea next season and hopefully if in the end there is a reshuffle, the players who deserve to survive are not just thrown away just like what happened to Havertz last season.

Bad news came from the city. Ederson is considering leaving the club at the end of the season and he may be interesting to get a new atmosphere to play in the different league. It appears that he is satisfied with his achievements while playing for Manchester City. Some Saudi professional league clubs have targeted him.
There is no explanation as to whether he will leave the European continent or remain. He could still receive numerous offers from the big club considering he has a successful career in the manchester city.

There is no explanation for his departure from Manchester City and on which club that will be taking it as his next destination. It appears that Pep is also looking for a suitable replacement for Ederson as soon as possible considering that if manchester city will lose one of its best goal keeper but this may be taking more time consider it's not easy to find the best one for city. City can start to consider chelsea's goal keeper kepa. He is coming back again to the chelsea after real madrid decides not to make him as a permanent transfer.

I'm hoping he'll continue to play in European competitions rather than the Saudi Pro League. Ederson can still have bright future.

I also feel disappointed with the decision to fire Pochettino, are they blind? Chelsea has slowly improved from last season when they only finished in 12th place, but now they are in 6th place. Chelsea is starting to have the seeds of great players. If they change the coach, the potential that Pochettino has just built will be in vain. It's quite annoying what Todd Boehly thinks, as if he's just using the club's finances for himself. What about Jackson and Palmer who are starting to feel comfortable at the club. I'm worried that in the hands of a new coach the concepts and strategies will actually affect the team's performance. Give Pochettino another season and I'm sure this club can get back on track.

Jose Mourinho is no longer Chelsea's target because previously this coach was fired by Chelsea, which means the club no longer wants to work with Jose Mourinho, rather than having to repeat the same mistakes. We even need to look at Jose Mourinho's current statistics because he is very different from before. he has been a quite successful manager in managing big clubs but currently many people say Jose Mourinho's tactics are outdated and big clubs have to think again if they want to appoint this coach unless he changes his methods to be more modern because as the season progresses then there will be changes what will happen in terms of tactics and attacks.

Why should Chelsea fire their coach again even though Mouricio Pochetino has shown quite good improvement for Chelsea compared to last season where the club finished in 12th place and this season Chelsea finished in 6th place which is quite a good achievement, a coach really needs time if want to see good changes unless Mauricio Pochettino doesn't show good enough signs at the Chelsea club then the club can fire him but if the club keeps changing coaches that will also be bad for the club because coaches also need a process not just instant success.

How could this suddenly happen, even though recently Pochettino's Chelsea have started to improve, I don't know what was on Todd Boehly's mind so he decided to work with Pochettino, even though this season Pochettino is playing with players he doesn't want, there's no chance. Todd Boehly gave too much to Pochettino, if he is not satisfied this season it is natural because Chelsea management has just overhauled its players, in my opinion this is a decision that is too quick from Chelsea management.

I don't understand Chelsea management, they just make decisions like that, even though we know Pochettino is an experienced coach, but currently I think Todd Boehly has his own interests and what he will bring to Chelsea to become coach next season.

Chelsea can certainly play in the Conference League next season. And if Man City wins the FA Cup this season, Chelsea will move up to playing class in the Europa League. In my opinion, this achievement deserves to be appreciated, it can even be said to be extraordinary considering Chelsea's chaos in the last two years. Finishing in 6th place this season is already very good. It seems like there is nothing wrong with Pochettino, it is Chelsea who are at fault in maintaining the club's performance. I am also surprised by the thoughts of Chelsea officials, indeed the team's performance this season is not that good, but Pochettino cannot be completely blamed. He arrived when the team was filled with many young players who were not his choice.
