Maresca to Chelsea

[Vegas Claret]

Looks like Leicester are about to lose their manager (another crazy decision by Boehly), may well have an impact on our potential list of replacements.

I'd say maybe on David Moyes but that's about it

Nah, he's coming to Burnley.

[BurnleyFC]

Another bonkers decision.

[ksrclaret]

Imagine getting rid of Pochettino, who’d just got the basket case looking really good, and replacing him with Maresca.

What on earth is wrong with these people.

[Goody1975]

What a basket case club, they have been swimming through treacle all season and just when it looks like they are turning the corner they go and shoot themselves in the foot again!!!

[whiffa]

I'd have Poch at Burnley, sadly don't think he'd come haha

[burnley007]

I know it sounds mad, but why would Maresca leave Leicester to go to that mess?

Is it just money??

Aren’t Leicester a bit of a mess as well? Points deduction heading their way?

He threatened to walk out at Leicester not that long ago because the fans don’t like his style of football

That makes sense then,

Definitely fire at Chelsea

[Ilkley claret]

Leicester will get points deduction so they are not in a great position as a club despite promotion

[kentonclaret]

Pochettino reportedly wanted more of an input into the decision making of which players were to be retained and sold. The Chelsea owner apparently wasn’t prepared for Pochettino to have any say on transfer dealings leading to a parting of the ways.
Perhaps Maresca is happy to leave it to the owners making it a short list of 1. McKenna is still the bookies favourite for the hot seats at Brighton and Man Utd. A coach in high demand.

I agree with some points already made:
Chelsea started playing pretty well towards the end of the season (3rd behind Man C and Arsenal over the last 10 games) with Palmer blossoming into a top player - weird that they've potted Poch.
Leicester will very possibly get a points reduction next season and are thus clear favourites to be relegated (4/9 odds on)

I've seen it quoted that £10 million is the compo to Leicester (chicken feed Chelsea but possibly very welcome at the King Power).

Have Chelsea got the leeway to throw another £10 Million at the 'project'?

I know the PSR rules are changing again but they must be close to the limit?

I guess it depends on how much they rake in from outgoing transfers. Gallagher seems likely, maybe Sterling, Lukaku, Arrizabalage, Maatsen etc. Having said which, theyll probably want to spend most of that on new expensive overrated players (probably from Brighton )

I read that Chelsea would have finished 4th had the season started on Boxing Day so Poch seemed to have got to grips with the mess he inherited and was showing signs of progress.

The squad he inherited was far too big and despite all these (over priced) signings, they didn't really have a centre forward other than Jackson.

This club demands instant success but are too stupid to realise that they've just voluntarily gone back to square one.

We’ve seen what happens when non-football people start choosing the players.

Reports today that McKenna will sign a new long term deal at Ipswich although we know manager contracts are not worth the paper they are written on.

End-of-season results can be odd as many players are already on the beach and/or more interested on their next club.

However, Pochettino had given younger players some time and it was working. Fortunately, the board decided to sack him.

[Vegas Claret]

Contract until 2029

[jrgbfc]

5 year deal, crazy. Will be surprised if he lasts a full season.

[Nonayforever]

I was thinking would I like Maresca at Burnley ?

Don't know anything about him, but gaining promotion with Leicester should have been one of the easiest jobs in the league this season, so that doesn't really mean anything.
Doesn't appear to have a previous track record, so I would have been very surprised and underwhelmed if he had come to Burnley.
Chelsea are quite clearly bonkers.
