Well, no one shared it here and I didn't spot it until now. Took them long enough in any case.
Not sure if already posted but I found this interview with him pretty interesting. Wouldn't be hugely surprised to see him rock up at West Ham in the next few months. Every chance the Leicester job he was previously linked with could come up again, along with Everton, maybe Wolves/Saints?

Out of the clubs you mention, I think he has zero interest in Leicester, Everton and Wolves. West Ham or Southampton - maybe.Not sure if already posted but I found this interview with him pretty interesting. Wouldn't be hugely surprised to see him rock up at West Ham in the next few months.

More likely to end up in a big Championship club than he is to take charge of any sort of chaotic zombie club.
I'm curious that he states it was the right opportunity for him but then bemoans the owners spending 300m on players. Everyone else knew it was the wrong club for him, I'm just surprised he couldn't (and apparently still can't) see it.
Disagree with this. At the time no one knew how Todd Boehly would run Chelsea. There was a lot of talk about "long term strategies" and consistency and whatnot and people looked at Boehlys American clubs and thought "ok, he knows what he's doing". No one knew they would spend insane money on an insane number of players.
Just like when he came to Brighton and Swansea, he came to a club with a fantastic youth academy that wasn't producing any first team players for the respective teams, and just like in those clubs he started to introduce young players into the team. Buying 8 or 9 players in the January window made that process rather hopeless.
Technically it seemed like a decent choice, until the true nature of the new ownership revealed itself.

I imagine your dream scenario is FH crashing and burning over the next couple of months and GP making his comeback at the Albion in December?
Lmao no. Dream scenario is if we can overperform over the next six weeks and pick up enough points to keep us in top 10 and take it from there.
If Hurzeler, against all odds, would be sacked, then of course the return of Graham Potter looks like a very good option, and resistance would be a litte less fierce than it was this summer.

Especially he's now had a "glow up". He'd look sensational on the bench
Fab-Hürz does seem to have a confidence that helps him forge way ahead in the manager ranks at an age far younger than most managers. GPott on the other hand does not.

I think @amexer is referring to the current Chelsea manager and not FH?
Okay, misread it. But still a true statement about Hürzeler

His reply about the Brighton job seems somewhat contradictory. Does feel right to go back but who knows about the future. My next job might not be as good as the Brighton one but I need to follow my own path. Also his family have been living in Brighton for what 5 years! It just seems he made a bollox decision in joining Chelsea and won’t verbalise it. But maybe I’ve got my blue and white specs on.

He's probably made a minimum £10m after tax, for a few months work, without having to uproot his family.
He's been able to take a two year career break on huge money, and please himself.
I can't see any world where staying with us would be considered a better option.

Mental health and quality of life. It’s not all about money and he wasn't on a minimum wage at Brighton.
That's bollocks. Both BHA ad Chelsea have proven youth accademies.

sure - but I would say that taking 2 years off work on more money - would be considerably better for his quality of life and mental health.
Or are you agreeing with me??
