I saw the report yesterday Matt Law for The Telegraph This clearly comes straight from Chelsea.
Clearly Mauricio Pochettino is under scrutiny and I think he will be again at the end of the season. But not the sporting directors who hired him and rebuilt the squad. Don’t know what to do? Yes, me too.
The irony, of course, is that Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart will be attending the meeting at the end of the season to ask Pochettino questions.
There will be a two-way review between Pochettino and the board next week, with Law saying the end-of-season review will focus on performance across the campaign, which could lead to awkward talks in the first half of the season. season.
But this is right. It should be like this. I have absolutely no problem with the end-of-season review, Pochettino’s future remains in doubt. People who think this review shouldn’t happen at this stage have short-term memory.
But if Pochettino is being reviewed and investigated, why aren’t sporting directors being reviewed and investigated? That is absurd.
Law said Winstanley and Stewart were in no doubt about their positions as the club prepares for an end-of-season review next week.
Clearly the club are satisfied with their work and continue to receive ‘enthusiastic’ support from their owners. It’s not just support, it’s passionate support!
they have a good deal
I think they’ve got a very good contract and done a good job, but not enough to get enthusiastic support and avoid being put under review. They all need to be reviewed after the season ends. At least it was. They wanted Champions League football but we didn’t achieve that goal. So why aren’t they all reviewed? In any business, if senior members fail to achieve the above goals, they will at least be questioned. Isn’t that right?
I think some of the players that were signed had good catching skills and made good money. Especially Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto. I also support the breakdown of the team and believe it has to happen. Law’s article also clearly acknowledges that Chelsea made a mistake. And that’s true.
I would never believe that if we had brought in more proven, high-quality and experienced players within our squad composition, we would be in a higher league position right now and at least already have qualified for the Europa League next season. I believe it with all my heart. Our U25 policy was naive and foolish. The only thing missing this season was clear (and quality) leadership and quality experience on the pitch.
So why aren’t they investigated?
I’m not necessarily saying fire them. However, while they appear to be in complete control of Chelsea’s football side, they have no experience in squad building. How does that make sense? I would argue that Chelsea should and should have appointed a chief sporting director who could oversee everything and give final approval. That was a big mistake for me.
