This has Egbahli written all over it. Boehly is the fall guy, but Egbahli is the real clown destroying the club.

Boehly did not want Poch fired. Poch indicated so himself. Eghbali fired Poch. Despite what the media says he is the real power at chelsea.

Simons. analogy is ridiculous. To suggest that Chelsea has reached a level with Poch and that then they are looking for an untried manager is banal. If your looking for Poch to take you to a level then it would be logical to then to improve on that level you need another manager that will ensure you improve on that. Not to then go for an Ipswich or Leicester manager. Effin ridiculous.

He knew he was going before the season ended you could tell by the way he spoke about next season

Why isn't Danny Murphy saying that Chelsea should go for Southgate? He thought Southgate was a fantastic option for Manchester United but funnily enough not for Liverpool or now Chelsea. I wonder why 🤔🤔........

Jordan defending the idiot up top at Chelsea again is he? I wonder why

The ownership have gutted this club of any identity or culture. There is little joy in supporting Chelsea anymore, and it’s not to do with results. The club feels completely hollow

Just want a yes man

People are missing the point Boehly wanted Poch to continue but clearly others in the hierachy did not. It was the same with Potter.

Why even bother getting Jordan's input on club ownership anymore when we know it's going to be completely biased and contrarian? I'm sorry but you'd have to be completely out of touch to think this decision by Chelsea's board makes any sense...

As a Spurs fan, have nothing but praise for what Poch did for us. He raised the profile of our club, made us title contenders, and got us to a CL final. Sure it was frustrating that we didn't win anything with him. I felt he was taking Chelsea forwards and got off to a tricky start, but the last few months, they've been one of the most in form sides in the league. Seems a bizare situation!

Pochettino likely walked because Gallagher and Chalobah are up for sale against his will.

Sporting directors have only hired Poch so far.. obv they saw something that wasn’t pushing the team forward next season. Let’s see if they make the right choice for the new guy.. that’s the important thing.

Poch didn't like their plan to sell academy players like Gallagher, and replace them with young potential, he wanted to add experienced players to the squad, but that's not what Clearlake want to do, they just want to buy young players and develop them and make profit.

Simon defending the owners again... because apparently if you are very wealthy, you can never ever be wrong!

Under Pochettino, Chelsea dropped 20 (TWENTY) points against the bottom seven sides: Wolves, Everton, Brentford, Forest, Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United. This weakens any argument he can bring to the board. The reactions of some Chelsea fans is an emotional/angry one, because they simply loathe the owners and love bringing nationality into their angry debates when they get emotional, despite Chelsea being operated by English sporting directors...and both Liverpool and Arsenal being owned by Americans.

It's clear that Boehly is not the one calling the shots ...

Not even a Chelsea fan and even if feel stressed out at this situation. One of the most nonsensical sackings I’ve ever seen. 3rd place was there for the taking next year. They might have even pushed the top 2 for most of the season with less injuries and a top striker like Isak, Watkins, Toney or the like

Frank Lampard is available.. they need to get him coz no proper manager will join this circus of a club

They made this same plan last year and decided to go with Poch. How did all go wrong in 12 months and why are they now cutting ties after it all started looking promising? The simple answer is cos they have been getting every decision wrong since they stepped into that club as owners. Let’s call a spade a spade. Chelsea fans have to resort to a PROTEST to let these owners know they bought the best club in London, and the fans don’t deserve to be mugged off. You can’t be confident those clowns will get the next decision right. History suggests they don’t!!

Chelsea manager job is like musical chairs Alex ferguson said there approached him and he said no, before roman took over. Roman tried to make chelsea a tier 1 club but it never worked no matter how much they won. Shows how hard that is to do. You have to wonder will man city will ever get that tier 1 club status, as just like chelsea they spent enormous amounts to get there, and what will happen after?

JUST as he starts making his impression on the team....they sack him!!! Wow.

"Since Boxing Day we are the fourth best team in the premier league" I don't know why people come up with these stats taken from arbitrary dates. The season runs from August until May.

Chelsea have been unbelievably clear throughout the season that his performance would be assessed at the end of the season. they put him on a 2 year contract; a direct contradiction to every other contract they've handed out. clearly they wanted him on the short term to bring the squad together and that he has done. this should not really be a surprise to anyone

Only two days ago Ally Mc was saying that Chelsea was a disaster and the other pundits were criticising the team and the manager every week and even when they won it was always a negative narrative. Now it’s all about the club being responsible for this but it seems like it was Poch who was the one who made the decision not to go on managing the team. He has been saying that since the Tottenham game interview and he even said that he was going for dinner. I am finding it unbelievable how much flip flopping is made by a number of people on these football outlets.

He finished too high in the table

Whats the point of being in o2 arena. Looks like any studio anywhere.

I really wish people would stop perpetuating the narrative that Chelsea have only been good the last 5 games of the season and that's when they turned the corner. You don't get to wembley twice and be unlucky to win a cup and the chance of an FA cup final against Man Utd, whilst being the 4th most inform team in the league since December because of the last 5 games. Performances and results have been better than the media have portrayed since Christmas with a handful of blips. The league table doesn't lie.

Wow that boelly speech is hilarious 😂😂😂😂 what a fool

When even Nico Jackson is pissed at the sacking of Poch then you know there’s something wrong 😂

Sir Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts

Poch was in the right. The head coach is responsible for results on the pitch, and should have a say in which players are signed by the club.

Am I right in thinking that management pushed Poch out? Stupid move if that's the case because there was improvements appearing 🙄🙃

Simons crew say hey Simon see if you can get your face the same colour as that wall behind you, Simon chuckles and says ok then

Not forgetting at all however, none of TT’s performances took us to the depths of Lampard, Potter and Poch!

Ofcourse Simon is gonna defend the owners 😂.. wonder how muxh he was paid to say that

Football has gone ridiculous what's the point of having a manager if the owners are confident they can pick a team when in reality they know diddly squat. If they approached me as a manager I would never go to them if I don't have a say. My club Ipswich have the better American owners and give the manager a say I just hope McKenna doesn't leave he would be a fool to join any of these clubs interested in him. I seriously considered Chelsea for league next season I'm seriously changing my choice now they had the best manager in Pochettino now they don't have a chance.

Thank you Simon 👌

The Crystal Palace manager has got amazing results immediately. So don’t tell me a new manager can’t make a difference.

Todd gave no hint that Poch was in trouble.

Whatever realm of work, I would have loved to have worked for Jordan. Honest and objective....can't ask for anything more from a boss. As a boss myself, I like to think I apply the same rhetoric.

It's pretty obvious that a large part of this was Poch's inflexibility in regards to changing the ferocity of his training regimen. Everywhere Poch goes, an injury plague follows. If they were concerned and he wasn't willing to budge, that would be a huge reason for lack of faith. This is deeper than onfield production....

We demand ultimate success and nothing short. I wanted this fraud out earlier on the season and I stick by it. Horrendous results that did turn better once pressure was off

Pochettino at Chelsea was a ticking time bomb he wouldn't have finished 2024

Poch needs his next appointment to work. He could be a solid choice for Manchester United if they decide to change manager.

Just bring Jose back . Chelsea were fun to watch with him in charge.

Objectives: Qualify for the Champions League and fight for the league title Reality: Qualified for the Conference League and got to the final of the League Cup Owners: Lol. Bye.

I think it was mutual consent in this case. In the last five games or so Pochettino was very weird in press conferences and kept dropping hints that he was unhappy.

Even I don't think Boehly is the problem. I feel like Winstanley & Stewart/ Eghbali are the problem. I like ruthless ambition in the guy running my club. The problem is, he doesn't know the game and is trusting the wrong people.

Simon has found new friends to protect after protecting Levy for years......

he was brought in to sort the squad out as the blues bought too many players

Simon made sense

Why are they in the O2 Arena?

But Bohley is a classic CEO C... Suite means something right!!!

So the new system is the coach/manager has to achieve top four with players selected by someone else.What nonsense.

Shock, Simon saying its a Chelsea decision!!.. Simon can never accept if a big decision that's made is not made by the Board!!.

What an absolute Herbert

Why are people surprised this is Chelsea we've seen this for years now 🤔 they get rid asap if you're not good enough

Thiago Silva must have seen the writing on the wall with these owners and left at the perfect time

Mr jordan is really making sense today....And he is very positive...He actually understand the message. We True Blues are not emotional at all...we are supporting the owners. The bigger pictures is not short term performance like we did lately. We need identity and a coach who can give that going forward in which i beleive just like the owners...And that coach isnt POCH. He cant deliever....His performance isnt assuring and not sustainable. POCH IS NEVER MADE FOR US...He was a legend of mid table or top 4 aspiring teams and that is not what we are @ CHELSEA. WE ARE WINNERS and THE PRIDE OF LONDON. Goodluck to poch anyway.

An interim manager is not a permanent appointment. Please Jim, stop adding Lampard to the casualty roster for comedy effect.

Danny thinks theres no one out there better than Pocchetino. Really? What was Pochetino ever going to win for chelsea?

Why not get a club owner on who wasn't a complete failure.

Why are they in the O2

Jordan always defending Clearlake and Boehly. Very strange. One thing is for sure, he hates the success Chelsea have had

Chelsea have spoken to De zerbi and Poch could end up at Bayern or Barcelona

So they think he’s at fault? If you misdiagnose the problem, your action wont fix anything. Boehly overspending on individual players rather than a manager creating a balanced team was the main issue.

Poch proved he was a great man manager & was doing well in this mess he inherited .chelse for ever

Get moyes in. Surely you will recomend him.

I hope common sense prevails and Chelsea bring back Thomas Tuchel, i'm sure in hindsight looking at the managers after TT they will realise that sacking TT was a mistake. TT is an elite manager none of the others were, Potter, Poch and definitely not DeSerbi!

Il have him back at spurs right now

I'll give you 4 names that would Chelsea manager, three of them are better than Poch and one is probably equal to Poch : 1. José Mourinho 2. Max Allegri 3. Antonio Conte 4. Roberto De Zerbi

People need to understand Boehly is not making the KEY decisions anymore, it’s Eghbali!!!

“Just as it was beginning to show progress.” Why are we acting like Roman didn’t do this over and over again? Spend well above everyone else and just fire managers for a poor season? Jose was sacked twice after winning titles and doubled. Managers have been fired the season after winning ucl’s, TWICE! 6th may be better than 12th but it’s still sackable. If he’d won the League cup aswel I think he stays.

If Simon held owners to the same standard he does for footballers or managers, oh boy...

Stuart and winstanley are the problem. They're scouts who've been given the keys to the castle and royally messed it up. Overspent on potential whilst getting rid of anyone they hadn't signed. Got rid of proven managers and want upcoming coaches they can control. My only question is who's idea was it to play cuch as inverted full back? If it was poch then he had to stay. If it was the directors then I give them a break. Because they've bought in all these players and they're largely improving, but the question is whether it was poch improving them and finding ways to use them, or if the directors were telling him, hey we signed this guy because he's good at doing this can you please use him as such... Personally I would think it was all poch and he should've stayed and the directors should've been fired. They messed up with Emma Hayes too don't forget. The biggest problem is that Stuart and winstanley are probably just puppets for Eghbali and he can't be fired unfortunately. I disagree with Jordan though. Think this was at least 50-50. Poch had concerns. I think they wanted to control his training and coaches, not just the transfers, so he left. He wants players to be fit, so training might be intense, which may lead to injuries. We also did ok at set pieces, especially at the end of the season. He wasn't pleased that they got cuevas to come in for next season as the set piece specialist. But that's the thing, if you take transfers, training, set pieces and coaching staff decisions away from the manager, what are they doing? Just having to manage a match day team they haven't prepared? And then take all the blame and answer the press. Like no manager would want that job even if Chelsea were top 2 or 3, let alone 6th. But it's the same idiotic mentality of bringing in a bunch of 20 year olds and expecting them to do well. On paper it sounds good, but shows that none of the higher ups have any clue about running a football team in reality. Please someone buy them out and sack the board

Chelsea is just a conveyor belt of managers!😂-gazzgooner

Used to love listening to Simon… guys turned to a right prat last few weeks/months.

There may be a silver-lining for Poch. Before Chelsea, he had a few stints that didn't go as well as had been hoped. He brought Chelsea out of a dive, levelled the plane and slowly began to gain altitude again. At the start of the season, I don't think anyone, apart from perhaps the owners, expected Chelsea to get to the top group. So Poch can make a difference. Whoever comes in next has to, at the very least, maintain the progress made and then raise the club further up the standings. If that doesn't happen, the onus lies squarely on the owners themselves.

IT’S ALL TO KEEP PR LIMELIGHT ON THE CLUB

I’m surprised simon can conceal that Todd Boehly cheerleader outfit under those clothes.

Beautiful Simon ❤

simon is rarely wrong but this is as much as poch wanting out as the club forcing this change. theres a musical chairs in play , klopp left , de zerbe left, tuchel isn’t staying at bayern , a lot of movement in thrones, and the man united manager may yet be up for grabs. i’m confident we will work out why this happened soon. what i don’t understand is why an ambitious club only wants a young manager. how does that align with getting the onfield success and winning mentality the club says it wants. shall we give the job to me? blimey

The manager/head coach should decide transfers not owners or recruitment/technical directors ffs!!

How about Poch for next England manager. He loves living in London and can't see many choices once Southgate hopefully goes after Euro's. It looked from results he was starting build something in West London but that's how clubs are run these days by owners who no bugger all about football.

Poch dropped enough hints!

Did he said Chelsea have got an FA cup final coming up 😂

Mic too breathy

Danny talks some sense. I don't know who they want to get now ????

Ever since Boehly and Eghbali invited Simon Jordan to their box to watch a World cup match, he is their biggest defender. Just like Levy and by extension Spurs can do no wrong, it all managers fault, Boehly and co have always made the correct decision as per Jordan. It's Poch fault that he can't win the league with players forced upon him

It's no coincidence that they haven't bought any more clubs for there multi club model. Who the hell would sell there club to them after Strasbourg and Chelsea

Simon the club is after Mckenna and Maresca! Is that fighting for elite honours???

Its not CHELSEA's decision. Fans (presumable customers now) are not involved in this it is a football club. A Decision taken by Owners only

0:50 Does he think Chelsea are in the FA Cup Final, or am I missing something?

Danny Murphy stared talki…😴💤🛏️

Danny mills will you please borrow an opinion instead of agreeing all the time???

SJ hangs out with Levy and Boehly.. no surprise he's the one jumping onto their defenses..

I was finally believing a bit in poch and now they go on and fire him😂 this club is finished

Todd is blaming the coaching..its an american sport thing...he would have seen jackson missing 3gols a game all season and say " why arent they working on his shooting" and he never improved..so were they?

Purple patch run doesn't impress me 😂
