The Natural Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Thomas Tuchel sacked as Chelsea manager. Really odd timing when he's had a transfer window bringing his players in only to can him. Stupid and when you consider he managed during the sanctions against Roman.

The Natural Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Why let TT spend all that money in the transfer window to sack him after it closes for another manager to work with players that are not his?

SirFozzie Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Sounds like they had been fighting all summer transfer window with Tuchel seeing himself as the more traditional "I choose what groceries to buy, because it's me cooking the dish" manager, while the new ownership was like "We have a recruitment department for a reason, to tell you who to buy" https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/sep/07/chelsea-sack-thomas-tuchel-as-manager-after-defeat-at-zagreb-champions-league Chelsea have spent a record £266m in one window to bring in Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang among others. That increased the pressure on Tuchel but not all were his signings and there were other instances of the ownership attempting to foist players on him. One example was the case of Anthony Gordon who Tuchel did not want. Boehly’s data analysts had pushed for the Everton midfielder after being impressed by some of his performance metrics. Tuchel came to feel he had too many players to accommodate and not enough he could count on. Boehly learned that some senior players were unhappy with Tuchel’s tactics and is keen to make his own appointment. Chelsea used three formations in Zagreb, one of which included using Sterling in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Whomever was in the VAR booth tonight at OT should not be allowed to work another European match this season. That call (clearly and obviously incorrect when seen on replay) was the textbook definition of what VAR is meant to correct and the guy got it wrong.
