Mauricio Pochettino leaves Chelsea, Rashford left out of England squad | Back Pages Tonight 

Every news headline is saying "Rashford left out of England squad" as if rashford is a world class player. We don't care if rashford wasn't picked for the euros 🤦‍♂️

Enzo joined Chelsea in 2023 for €121m (£106.8m) and is about to play under the 5th manager at Chelsea, that’s more than the number of goals he has scored in the prem☠️

How does Ogden Keep getting on these shows?

Never a dull moment. Chelsea FC should be on Netflix with all their drama 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Liverpool fan here.. Feel a bit bad for Poch. I think Chelsea were starting to look really promising, relatively consistently. Next season he may well have challenged for top 4. Personally I would have liked to see what he could have done with this young team next season. Oh well... Poor Poch...

We've just pushed out a manager who was trying to uphold the club's culture. Strangely enough, he was the one person who understood what Chelsea is and ironically help aid Roman's vision, of having a brimming academy, being realised. The club has now embraced Reece James as the undisputed club captain (rightfully or wrongfully), we've put him front and centre of the team yet it was Poch's decision in the first place; now it seems as if it was always destined to be. Fans and pundits alike were pining for Silva or someone more experienced to be captain yet Poch understood the long term vision. He was trying to develop a homegrown/English-oriented captaincy and hierarchy within the squad with James, Chilwell, Gallagher, Colwill and Chalobah being the lynchpins. For years we were mocked for solely having continental players now we're sacking a manager for wanting to establish a fundamentally English core. He's given debuts to Alfie Gilchrist, Michael Golding, Alex Matos, Josh Acheampong and Leo Castledine, in his first season, more than any other previous manager, under arguably the most tumultuous conditions. What makes this all the more disappointing is that previous years under Roman we felt as if every sacking was ultimately in order to course-correct, in this case it seems as if we're just steering ourselves into uncharted waters with many fighting for the wheel. Poch knew the league and now knew his team, whoever we get would need another adjustment period. Plus even then, what guarantees would have that he won't be sacked for a above-average season? The entire team wanted the manager to stay. Even under the great Tuchel, Conte and Mourinho we had players fall out with them, not with Poch. This is the odd occasion in our history where the team had more faith in the manager than the board. If anything the player's opinion should matter most as they are the ones who work with him daily. Players can never truly buy into a manager's tactics now because their opinion is not valued by the higher-ups. Eventually the players will develop their own "player power mentality" since the managers will be an ever revolving door whilst they're the constants. Poch developed into a father figure for this young crop, helping them develop their games. That's what Fergie did all too well. He may not have been the "winning-mentality" manager we needed long term but he was the right coach for right now. The next manager will be likely be stoic and cold because he'll be fighting for his job from day-one, no patience for these young lads, he'll get frustrated and leave, then the cycle continues again. Just gutted.

Yesterday I was thinking I'm quite happy with Chelsea at top level right now , now I'm thinking wtf !? How much will it cost to break a managers contract!? Who is a better manager than pochetino right now !? Please don't get dizerbi from Brighton !? Please don't get a nobody that no one's heard of , or what bring back morinho ? Club is an absolute circus, I can't believe what the players and team must be thinking , what's the point!?

Ummmm, I don’t know what we doing, but whatever it is, I hope it works.

Rashford gets so much press. Insane considering how mediocre he is as a footballer. English media talks about it like if its Milan/Italy dropping Paolo Maldini or something. Outside of England, literally no one cares about him. And he simply isn't a world-class player like Mbappe, Haaland who are globally recognized and celebrated.

At least Chelsea has the gut to fire their coach, unlike Arsenal, who's keeping their manager who hasn't won anything in the last 3 years

Boehly saw that Chelsea were improving and poch landed them in 6th place which is not a familiar Territory for him cause he loves 10th place and got Poch sacked 😂😂😂😂. Funny club ran by lobotomites

Tod Boehly baseball cap n bat yielding 🧢 living " GENIUS " 😎 💯 ..

Ruben Amorim is the only one that fits in

Not too dissimilar to Liverpools structure 😂😂😂 .. ok ye but its the people and ideas within that structure that matter and they are poles apart . YNWA

You know it’s foul when even we chelsea fans are fed up of the sackings

Chelsea should go for Mourinho, the only trainer capable to coach these guys

Its coming home - I'm very hopeful & pumped up by the new Sir Alf like Brave 🦁 Gareth . I was critical of Gareth at the last two world cups for being too cautious. It feels like learning about Sir Alf & watching brave Klopp win a cup with about 10 x under age 21 kids during the Reds biggest ever injury crisis has helped GS improve a lot as a Boss. So Do ur daily prayers, England fans & help bring it home as u cant win without good luck karma. Gr8 squad by Gareth. Maths Profs very glad. They say GS should select & announce the final squad on weds at 08.00am 5/6/24 in London to stress out rivals who will pick their teams on 7/6/24. Extra 60-70 hrs for our 3 🦁 boys to relax & and visualise victory will be a big big plus factor too. Nice boy Rashford failed to win Euro21 by fluffing cup final pen. Some boys peak early & fade away (Rashford, Jeffers, Walcott, etc) others peak later (eg Palmer & Gordon & Saka who are all much stronger mentally than Marcus & will score AET pen shootouts). Playing a back 3 of Walker Stones Quansah will win it. With Trent-AA & Trippier as wing backs (backed up by Shaw). Golden trio midfield of Rice-Jude-Foden Up front, Kane-Palmer (with Saka & Gordon as impact subs) will bring it home & end 58 yrs of hurt. Or 5-2-3 with Foden Kane Jude up front & Rice & Curtis Jones in the midfield It feels like Gareth is channelling Sir Alf energy this time. (& Not Bobby Robson like in Euro 21). Its finally coming home & then Gareth becomes ManU's new boss as per Oliver Holt Mail Sports article. No offence was intended to Marcus who is a nice guy but look at how Saka bounced back after the pen miss. Marcus missed an early pen & heaped pressure on Saka & Sancho. Look at Marcus body language before the pen. I knew he wud miss it before he took it. Gareth has picked a great squad & check out the analytics on the UK-RG Maths Profs website. They love this squad. They predicted Argentina would defeat France in Qatar World Cup final when most pundits said Messi wud lose in last 16 KO game cuz Messi was too old. Mental resilience is stronger than youthful energy. No disrespect is intended to Marcus. Well done Gareth.

Erik Tenn Gag and pressing might be next

I would put no blame on Poch. This ain't the Chelsea we knew. Boehly and "friends" are totally clueless. I'm sure Boehly will show the club up again in this transfer window.

I did say that if the former Chelsea manager Pochettino will decide to leave Chelsea football club if he doesn't have a chance too be permitted to partake in the transfer window, good you've well done

We will be here in a years time saying the same thing , it’s a big mistake getting rid of of Poch just as it was with Tuchel.

This just Roman Abramovich era, ruthless decision from the owners not retain Pochittino

I am diehard Chelsea fun but I don't think this current owner has a better plan for this club. It's stupid to hire coach for one season and sack after the season. If I were to be coach I will not accept any Chelsea offer. For me Poch is a very good coach, why sack him.

decision was made way before and especially after 5-0 against Arsenal. the execution time was always after season finishes

Poch will do great at United. I hope poch goes to United and kick Chelsea in the back

man u need to be in deep trouble about dan ashworth, that's a really serious breach of the rules. ofc it's manure so the fa will probably give them bonus points for next season instead.

He's prob going to Bayern or man utd, barca possibly

Good morning

U have to have a heart like pep r klopp as a coach to go to chelsea any coach will afraid of this club as a diehearted chelsea fans I'm wondering what the hell are going on at this club

Usually like Ornstein, but geezer sounds like he's on the Boehle payroll 😂

Thank you Chelsea. I never liked Poch

Poch signing for Bayern now i guarantee it

Should of stayed at spurs…

I don't like this David Ornstein guy. After listening to his take on Poch leaving Chelsea on Sky sports, u can clearly see that he does not have freedom of speech, when it comes to Chelsea issues under this ownership.

We attain success by hiring and firing incompetent manager! This is Chelsea DNA, so stop the cry baby stuff! The board are finally pulling the right string, you can’t judge a manager with just five good games out of 40. If other clubs were doing well as well we 12:26 will still be in 10 position and not 6.

Just giving a dislike because of dogden 😊

Another grossly incompetent decision. They were finally making progress

Chelsea only attracts mercenary players because they all know the manager will not be around long-term. Because of this, every manager appointed is effectively also a mercenary.

Next year Chelsea will be in the bottom half of the league

Chelsea are hilarious. YNWA

These owners take the club fi poppy show, kmt! 😮

KING KAI 5 - 0 ARSENAL VS CHELSEA FIRED POCHETTINO IN WEST LONDON. That 5 - 0 lost to ARSENAL is the main reason POCHETTINO got fired by CHELSEA management. Sorry ooo, all Chelsea fans, stay on watch along for your new to be name rookie coach according to your owners.

Pochettino.... fact. If he hadn't left by mutual agreement, he would have been fired.... so, he was fired.

What a mess of a team and there's low chances of Chelsea being the good team again.. we are the Looney tunes of PL 😢😢always we are the topic of something good or not 🤨🤨 i c y Thiago left 😭Chelsea is dead Bro we just following the name but its no longer the team we knew...again Mid table here we come then we relegated then Ipswich must be named 💙 then us something else idk exactly what is it..................😤😤😤😣😣😣😫😫😫😵😵💀💀💀☠️☠️☠️☢️☢️☢️☣️☣️☣️🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚
