Thought Sarri deal was close. Is J in offing?
Comment deleted by Article Creator
he was apparently on a 3 man shortlist. I just think if we'd pursued him and successfully got him, his appointment would have signaled a clear change in direction/intent.
I want Sarri as I’m excited to see how the likes of Hazard get on under an attacking manager.
Hold on, are chelsea in for Sarri?
I really don't know enough of foreign football to comment. Just want someone in quickly so we can have a look at potential targets and they can start moulding a team
I just see Sarri as another short term fix.
I get that questioning Roman Abramovich means I’m not “Proper Chels” and ungrateful (Although I disagree) but I sometimes wouldn’t mind the idea of him selling the club.
Because unlike rival fans, I don’t think the next buyer would be a pauper, whoever it was and I would like to see how we’d be where our board did not appear to be organised chaos like our current board appears to be.
Why do you see sarri as a short term fix?
The important thing is that no matter the manager, players like Hazard and Willian are the main focus of the team, and that players like Loftus Cheek are given a chance.
Sari has done amazing with Napoli built a great squad and developed a few players. He also seems to be the type of manager that players will want to come to chelsea to play under.
From what I’ve read Sarri has brought in and improved a lot of young players at both Empoli and Napoli. He sounds like a manager who picks a team based on quality/performance rather than age/reputation.

This romantic obsession with getting a long term manager in whose going to build a group of players who are loyal to the club for the next 10 years is a load of bollox IMO.
Look at the big clubs over the last 5 years. Barca, Real, Bayern, United, City, us. We've all had at least 3 managers each. The only clubs who are willing to keep a manager long term these days are teams content with mediocrity.
Get Sarri in. Play good football, keep the winning mentality, sign some top players to improve the squad, use the resources at the club (some of the promising youngsters on loan and academy) to help our push for trophies, but don't play them for the sake of it.
There is no point trying to have a 5 year plan. The footballing landscape changes all the time. No one would have predicted Liverpool to reach the CL final 12 months ago, no one would have predicted us to win the FA cup even a month before we did.
I agree.. but won’t happen
I see it both ways. Both would bring positive things to the table and be a step in the right direction.
I'd personally prefer Sarri for two reasons.
(1) He wants it. Jardim's time will come and he has plenty of time to prepare for it (could even be us in a few years, you never know). For Sarri we are the end goal now, the culmination of all his hard work in football, so he'll naturally give more of a s*** than anyone else including Jardim. After experiencing a season where it was patently obvious Conte wasn't fussed if he got sacked, that's very refreshing.
(2) We badly need to regain a sense of identity. Since Mourinho's noughties team began disbanding it's felt like we've been drifting, winning a trophy here and there but playing with no discernible style, like we've been in a state of permanent transition. You look at a team like Liverpool at the moment, and while there's weaknesses in how they play their style under Klopp is undeniable, and it's given the entire club a sense of direction and purpose. We need that desperately, and Sarri is our best opportunity to get it - it may well fail but it's a risk worth taking IMO.
Agree with DA. Sarri will bring a distinguishable style of football to the club that should also help with recruitment. Bring in a knowledgable DoF type and get everything moving in the same direction.
To keep it short...Jardim was never on the shortlist and was always a non-starter with his connections to Jorge Mendes.
Club severed ties with said agent.
Sarri will be a massive directional shift in terms of playing style, that will lay the foundations and resonate at the club in the long-term for years to come at first-team level (similar to the identity at youth level which has been very successful, forward-thinking).
Jardim doesn't represent the same impact in that respect.
