Well Flash how's tricks?

I ws thinking while it's not great it may give the club time to get the whole loan thing sorted a bit and bring some talented youth back to the club and give them a proper go at making at Chelsea.

It might mean you don't compete at the top for a few seasons but what's that in the grand scheme of things really when you've seen so much success in the past decade.

Today we're all guilty of the desire to have it all instantly, but this may well end up leading to a more structured club in the long run.

The full quotes.

"There isn't in England another 18-year-old player with 14 matches in the first-team. So I think that we are using him in the right way at the moment. Of course, the 20 matches this season will be 30 matches in the next, and 40 in two years.

"Also, I think that the club has to decide. If I am at the club and I want Callum on the club consistently, I have to sell another winger. Otherwise the manager is in trouble."

He did say 14 matches last night, when most of them have been cameos.

I do agree with that, was even thinking of doing an article myself.

With all probability the ban will be delayed after appeal till the January window next season giving us this summer to prepare, but the problem with Sarri still being the manager by that point is we'll have to have an old school Roman 03-05 window to give him what he's gunna need, and what if it still fails despite us doing that? We'd be stuck with a core group of players who'll only be compatible to one way of playing. All seems like stuff we're not prepared for.

I don't think it's gunna be an issue anyway if I'm honest, if Sarri's still in charge this time next week I'll be stunned.

G’day mate.

I don’t doubt the situation we find ourselves in (not just the ban) is a direct result of one man being impatient.

Although Biggish would distance himself from my now believing Sarri is not the man for the job and certainly IMO not the man for the job of seeing us through a 2 window transfer ban, I’m sure he’d agree that although it’s been successful, it was more to do with:-

1) Having a core of players that gave us many years of exceptional service
2) Continuous investment.

Now the money has essentially dried up, or at least we’re no longer the biggest spenders any more, it was never sustainable. Especially after the old guard left the club.

I'll actually miss Chelsea. I mean they have a pretty rubbish stadium, crap fans and a terrible team, but other than that they offer quite a lot.

Won't make any difference, appeal buy players we need and loan out some more and repeat,

Yep it's BS copout, to cover up/justify his gross mismanagement.
Sarri has been making alot of flimsy patronising remarks throughout the season.

There's not a valid reason Hudson-Odoi shouldn't be a constant starter with significant minutes but if you are Sarri or a Sarri disciple (who laps up every word he says, even when he has blatantly been dishonest and contradictory) you'll use every wishy-washy excuse in the book to blindly defend his wrongdoings/failings.

I see right through the BS and I don't stand for the BS.

I've always had the belief from the beginning that Hudson-Odoi was ready, to make as big an impact as Sancho (or Vinicius at Madrid) has done given a fair shot/opportunity.
There''s nothing Sarri and anyone one else can say to change my belief.

Maybe If Sarri showed signs of flexibility, proactivity, foresight, adaptability, competent squad management (like Pep did) in the months that he's been in charge....instead of gross mismanagement, unfairness, alienation, naivety, dishonesty, flimsy contradictory remarks...I'd be willing to give him more time.

7 months is enough of a gauge/sample size for me to know that he shouldn't be in position to oversee any sort of rebuilding process going forward.


That whole Pep advised him to only manage 13-14 players, so he's following that nonsense.

Does Sarri not have a mind of his own??
Can he not see that it's not working with those players that he chooses to focus on??
Does he not have the ability to look beyond those players to improve performance and results?

Far too many failings which a supposedly top/high-level manager shouldn't be making.

Nobody mention Ryan Sessegnon

I've been called worse for going against any opinion which doesn't conform with the Sarri support.
I'll stick by my view. Thanks.

Childishness gets dismissed

Flash , I agree 100% with your first two paragraphs.
I don't neccessarily agree with you on the 3rd paragraph,because I think that he needs more time to implement his philosophy and Ideas.

I think that the next 7 days will be crucial as to what will become of him !

who knows ,2 wins and the whole circus comes to town again !

A couple of posts from Cmf in this article is enough of a gauge/sample size to convince me that he is wasting his talent in this forum
