[Football] Fat Frank's Chelsea

[Stat Brother]

Slightly OT but a few more Chelsea tickets are online now.

Hardly surprising - toying with the idea of returning ours now we've had our birthright taken from us.

 

[Carlos BC]

From the BBC
Chelsea have contacted former manager and current Roma boss Jose Mourinho about returning for a third spell in charge at Stamford Bridge.


How far do you think they will go back?

Ted Drake anyone?

There will probably be a few more managers between now and the seasons end. Plenty of time for Potter to come back for a second run.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

So Potter has gone from being seen as a better option than Tuchel, to a worse option than Lampard.

and that’s what happens when the lunatics are in charge of the asylum.

 

[Hiheidi]

Looks like Ben Roberts staying at Chelsea for now...

 

[OzMike]

That's Bruno out then, or coaching U21s.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Up The Chels (yuck yuck yuck cringe saying)

Personally, I find that saying a flawlessly handy guide as to whether I'm going to like somebody I've just met.

If they ever use the expression "the Chels", then I know they're going to be a complete whopper and it's not worth making the effort to befriend them.

Is Tommy Docherty still alive?

 

[Nobby]

Is Tommy Docherty still alive?

Or Glenn Hoddle, I think Dave Sexton is out of the question, but Hoddle is in the current realms of probability.
Apparently they’re thinking about Ancellotti again What an absolute shambles!

Is Tommy Docherty still alive?

Died in 2020 apparently

Could still do a better job than Fat Frank

I feel the same about anybody that refers to Chichester as 'Chi'

 

[Change at Barnham]

I feel the same about anybody that refers to Chichester as 'Chi'

I would disagree with you on that point.
I've lived in Bognor for 61 years and everyone I know has forever referred to nipping into to Chi etc. It's a very local term, used by almost everyone and not pretentious at all.
Much in the same way has Birmingham is referred to as Brum, or Portsmouth as Pompey.

Although I agree with the point about 'Chels'.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Unfortunately the crowd will be really up for this first home game with their favorite ex. . and we know that can have an effect.

Or we score first and they deflate like an old balloon

As a Brighton born geriatric, I haver never heard of it. Just shows how 'local' the South Coast is. Bognor was an exotic destination when I was a kid, occasionally visited for purposes of beach. A good hour's drive from Portslade in the Morris Traveller. I had no knowledge of further West. There be giants?

Likewise, you probably have no idea that everyone in Portslade refers to people from Newhaven as Newfies.

Joe Edwards lol.

My Mrs ex.....there's always someone to boo at Chelsea.

 

[Motogull]

I hope this blows up in Boley's face. It'll be so funny if it does.

 

[Weststander]

Pinched from Arsenal-Mania, including tough guy Lampard’s previous system of fines.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Potter will be rubbing his hands with glee on his sundeck in the Maldives and harbouring delusions that maybe he's not that bang average a manager after all. Tho he's wrong

 

[5Ways Gull]

The ridiculous ' crowd ' pleaser appt for fat Frank tells you that none of the alleged leading candidates want the job till the summer and/or they want to see what other jobs pop up.

And now Mick McCarthy has got the boot from Blackpool....well.

I think Tommy Docherty passed away, maybe still do a job though.

Is Geoff Hurst busy these days ?
