This is why I laugh at people talking about 5 year plans blah blah. Football is about THE moment. Too bad, managers sacked and players released. Too good and managers poached and players sold. Always been, always will. A long stint in the chair is 3 years. Something like 1.5 is average. All the upheaval and chaos that goes with. Hence why, all this talk of patient steady Eddy planning etc some fans talk about is utter nonsense. Strike now. Have to win now. Because tomorrow it’s almost a given that a torpedo will strike. That’s football. Chaos is norm. You don’t get time to breath. It’s relentless. If ‘Potters project’ began to bear fruit, as it has done, then the scrumpy pickers soon arrive. It was never going to last more than couple seasons max. Equally if we’d ended up getting relegated, he’d been gone IMO. Summary, got to enjoy the moment in football. Because Tomorrow is so utterly unpredictable. Unless you’re one of the handful of super rich (refuse to use term elite, because Newcastle certainly ain’t that, nor were Man City and Chelsea) clubs who can take whatever fruit they like.

Permission granted he will be in talks this afternoon ****ing BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Presumably he's going to travel to Chelsea to tell them to **** off, before returning to Sussex and continue his planning for the Bournemouth fixture. Right?
I feel a bit of gardening leave might be incomingI'm still confident he will stay
- As good as GP is, Chelsea won't be able to resist a big name. Poch or Zidane for my money.
- We know TB won't roll over. If Chelsea want someone quick, I can't believe GP is the answer unless they are paying mega money.
That said, if they do cough up and he is their number one target, he's gone. As much as I dislike Chelsea, it's very hard to argue it doesn't have better pay, players and silverware prospects.
Do not feel too confident having seen this…..
BBC Sport also understands that Chelsea will now look for a long-term manager who shares their vision for a collaborative culture and focus on development of all players in the squad.
GP is too good a person to just dismiss the opportunity without even listening to them. He will listen to what they have to say and then make an informed decision. I would still not be surprised ifhe decides to stay after all that.
[emoji38]ol: [emoji38]ol: [emoji38]ol:.I am not convinced a big pay rise will be on his radar if he wants to complete his project here and then look at his options.
One thing is for certain - this is not a once in a lifetime opportunity for him
