He seems to like having Mudryk out wide left, but it's going to take time for him to knit (or others with him)
I wonder if, in an ideal world, he’d like to bin all the Prima Donnas and just play the youngsters along with a couple of more experienced players like James and Chilwell? He needs players who buy into Potterball, not convinced the Chelsea stars do.

I think he would, yes, take a risk of an even worse PL year (maybe not) and drive for improvement next year.
But I can't see it happening: with the squad he's been handed there could be vast amounts of tinkering until the season's end (if he remains).

So as all of us said when he jumped ship, he made a really shit decision, I guess the monthly wage cheque is compensation enough

Unless money is all he cares about, it was a little thick of him to go to Chelsea

Fancy teams allowing Chelsea possession because they’re not scared of what they really offer up front.

In that first 6 weren’t there some cup games against clubs that hadn’t spent a £b on players over recent years? I.E. no great achievement.
One League Cup game and a few CL games as the PL schedule was being shredded at that point because of the Queen

Yeah they were shite and has been in most of the games. Not even playing well, which is bit of a first for a GP managed team. I think GPs £500k Östersund side anno 2016 would have a good chance of beating his £500m Chelsea side. Quite remarkable really.

Not to mention the 100s of Steven Gerrards and Frank Lampards doing f*** all over the years.

It is quite remarkable that in 30 years of Premier League not one English manager has won the league.. in England. Something is fundamentally wrong when that is the case.

A British manager has won the Prem 14 times. An Englishman won it 91/92 the year before it became the Premier League. I'm British first, English second. I don't see a problem that an Englishman hasn't won it, when it's Fergie that dominated for so long.
