The Sack Race

[blues2win]

A number of managers turned Bayern down.

[nottsblue]

He may get the Bayern job. They lost their last match and came third in the Bundesliga. Pot C for them in the CL draw.

The fact Bayern tried to convince Tuchel to stay shows how terrible the market is for top class managers.

Or that they are a fuck up of a club internally and they are getting/already have a bad reputation in Germany

[CTID Hants]

De Zerbi gets the tin tack.

Might Brighton bring Potter back?

[BlueinBosnia]

He may get the Bayern job. They lost their last match and came third in the Bundesliga. Pot C for them in the CL draw.

Still Pot 1 - they've done away with the league winners automatically going in Pot 1. Not that it'll matter, probably, because I'm yet to see a transparent explanation of how the group stage will be drawn/played fairly while guaranteeing 'more top-draw fixtures' than before, as promised by UEFA.

Komps linked to both Bayern and Brighton.

How does it work now then? Surely wr will be pot 1?

Lot of rumours today Nuno is on borrowed time at Forest

Solely on coefficients, with CL and EL winners also in Pot 1. We're in there, but Leverkusen won't be unless they win the EL, I think.

I don't see how the league will work at all. I've looked at the European ice hockey championship, which uses a similar format to that which is going to be used, but can't make head or tail of it without more background info.

That's a step back isn't it? Thought they got rid of the coefficient as the likes of gonners finishing 4th yet getting pot 1, I guess the rags, gooners and dippers all complained because we keep winning the league 'it's so unfair' wankers!!

Coefficients were always there, but the winners of the top 6-8 leagues (depending on whether CL and EL winners also won their leagues) were always put in Pot 1, irrespective of their coefficient points, with those only being used from Pot 2 onward. I've started a new thread to explain/discuss it all

[Nigels Tackle]

poch gone
presume de zerbi comes in?

[PeterParker]

Mad.

[blues2win]

Some talk Tuchel may come back.

[nottsblue]

That is brutal

Boehly making the Glazers look shrewd

[blues2win]

Chelsea briefing against the idea of Tuchel, Conte or Mourinho coming back. Maresca is a possibility. Bayern could go for Pochettino.

[salford city]

Makes no sense binning him off after spunking all that money. What did they expect , for it all to fall into place and everyone gel straight off? Fuck me, as has been said, makes rhe Glazers look like they know what they're doing

Just when things started looking good for them, that is the odd part.

[blues-clues]

New manager will have no money to spend either. Chelsea have to sell before they can buy. This is bollocks but shows why ffp is just a total fiasco.

“Players costing £592m were sold for £203m, although accounting rules mean that generated a profit of £63m.”

Poch might be Pep's replacement - bringing Cole home
