Usual bollocks. Bookies pissing in the wind.
Chelsea can barely afford to sack Poch and his team anyway, let alone pay us whatever release clause TB has put in.

They can't even afford to sack their current one, let alone compensate us for ours.

I thought he was Liverpool or Barca bound.

I reckon he'd fall out with half of the squad within a fortnight. Albion have a 'no dickheads' policy. Chelsea seem to have the reverse.

Would love to see the fall out on here if he did go to Chelsea!

Pay him over 8 years ?

I expect that Flick is the favourite as he’s out of work and so there would be no buy out required.

Silly old bat
They’re still paying Potter, so having to pay Poch, and then buy RDZ would bankrupt them.
To be fair, tat's probably the first thing any manager worth his salt should do on arrival at Stamford Bridge. Getting rid might be a problem, but by maximising the permitted number of over-age player in the u21s, they might jst have a shout at the EFL Trophy.

If he doesn't like the policy of our club then he sure as hell won't like theirs.

Having been burnt once before, having thought our manager had more common sense than to take a job there, I'm less convinced than others.
If Chelsea came in for him, he would definitely talk to them.

Would almost be worth letting him go…
They've got more than enough cash to do it - it's whether they want to 'spend' any of their limited points doing so.
Posters do realise RDZ has been, is, and will be in the running for ALL 'big' clubs from the moment lil old Brighton qualified for Europe, until such time as he leaves.
You are, of course, correct but I suppose we can take comfort in the fact that for the first time in our history the group of clubs that are attractive to (and can afford) our managers is the smallest it's ever been.
No longer are our managers leaving to go to Leicester as an assistant or Reading. In all honesty, there are only a select few that can actually afford to buy out a Premier League managers contract on the continent. It really only leaves super-clubs like Bayern, PSG, Real Madrid and maybe Barca if they can pull one of their transfer "levers".
It's really only City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea that can, and I suspect will at some point, stick their nose if our manager is making big enough impact.
Chelsea would be insane to appoint him. How much attention is he really going to give their tawdry gang of underachievers, whilst he’s simultaneously trying to continue Klopp’s legacy, rekindle Manchester United, and take Barcelona back to the top
