Strangely quiet media wise, the odd article saying he's under pressure (no s**t sherlock). All the gossip coming from 'sources'. If anything at all happens, the soonest it would get announced would be later on in the afternoon in my view. Terminations to be signed, new man in has to sign his and his helpers paperwork etc. Desks cleared etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, but it hasn't worked out (yet), so in retrospect it looks like keeping Jorginho as a transitional period would have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boratsbrother Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 One of the significant faults in our play is something which has plagued us for years ( probably started under Sarri) and that's our short passing. So many times we lose possession or the momemtum of an attack is slowed down by sloppy passing. A good example of that was a play in the second involving Mudryk and another player, think it was Gallagher but I could be wrong. Just inside the Wolves half when Mudryk gives a decent short pass which is returned to him, the Chelsea player starts to run into what could have been a threatening posistion but Mudryk horribly over hits the return pass which loses possession. We are talking basic training ground passes here which players complete with their eyes shut, but in match situations they fluff them by over and under hitting. Of course this happenes in ther team as well but it's the sheer number of times it happens with the players in our teams. Look at the sublime pass from Mount which set up the goal in our CL win, yet he too was guilty of sloppy short passing far more than he should have been. I have no idea why this is a problem our managers cannot solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I would have kept Jorginho too BUT the board dont do transitional - it would require intelligence and thats something that money cant buy - clearly (or clear-lake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good set of possibilities. But remember one thing - the media love to pretend that if something is happening they know all about it, and so their rumours are really worth listening to. Football rarely happens that way despite the young men and agents involved being a natural gossip machine. In big business it almost never happens that way, people keep shtum. (Likewise with mafia and Russian oligarchs). The one thing you can be certain of if there are big changes about to happen at the top of the club - nobody would know a word about it. Anyone seen TB of Eghbali? 41 minutes ago, Holymoly said: I don't think they can sell yet, there was a clause in the acquisition contract was there not? So a commitment to whom? Who is the counterparty that has the right to say - just a moment Clearlackeys, you have to stay 7 more years? And who would actually hold them to it? (it is a PR clause, to make financial partners look more genuinely interested in the club - otherwise meaningless.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert19 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 9 minutes ago, east lower said: It might be a viable solution for all. Who knows, he might even be able to broker a deal. Given how much they paid for the Club and how much their astonishing body of work has a) cost them and b) devalued the asset they bought, are we really thinking that Clearlake are going to be selling up? What would they get if they did that now? They’ve probably knocked at least 50% off the price they paid for it in less than two years. Even more given how much a new buyer is going to have to fix quite quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
