Chelsea supervisor Mauricio Pochettino is beneath big quantities of strain, essentially the most he has been beneath as far as Blues boss.
It very a lot looks like a game-by-game sort of state of affairs proper now, regardless of all of the media briefings claiming that Chelsea are backing him and need to end the season with him on the very least.
We’ve heard that each one earlier than in fact, even on the identical day that Graham Potter obtained sacked once they stated the identical about him.
I personally suppose there isn’t a manner again now for Pochettino and Chelsea, and the massive resolution must be made to interchange him with an interim supervisor.
We can’t wait for an additional lengthy spherical of interviews for the subsequent everlasting supervisor, so that may wait till the summer season. However now we have to convey a Chelsea legend again to the membership, one who is accessible now within the form of Jose Mourinho.
Some may frown at that concept, however I feel as an interim solely, it will be good. Would he even settle for that contract? Who is aware of? Possibly not. However we must always attempt. Possibly even when we agreed to some form of contract that if he did properly, then it might be prolonged previous the interim degree.
I don’t suppose Mourinho would work because the long-term choice just because he’s not a sure man, and the Chelsea homeowners clearly need sure males. Mourinho would need some energy within the switch markets, and it doesn’t appear like this Chelsea possession would give him that, and it will finish in catastrophe.
So except they’re ready to alter their methods, give Mourinho a window the place he can herald 2-3 of his personal signings, and go ahead like that, it ought to be interim just for now.
However as an interim he would supply an instantaneous enhance that Chelsea wants. He already has a reference to the followers, and he can inspire gamers who will respect his legacy and what he has achieved within the sport. Put John Terry alongside him as his quantity two and instil that necessary culuture again within the membership and train them what it means to put on that badge.
This didn’t work final season with Frank Lampard as a result of personally I simply suppose he’s going to be a greater director than he ever shall be a coach. However the thought was proper.

It could’t get a lot worse than what it already is, so it’s low danger. However we do nonetheless have issues to combat for and we all know that Mourinho is a serial winner and he won’t permit requirements to drop. He’s additionally superb at being pragmatic and getting outcomes on the board with any means should.
Personally I feel this might be a really good transfer and ought to be achieved now sooner moderately than later.
