YOU HAD A MANAGER WHO WAS; 1.) VERY GOOD IN BIG GAMES 2.) GOT TOP 4 3.)WON TWO TROPHIES YOU SACKED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS VERY HONEST ABOUT YOUR SHIT PROJECT! MARESCA DODGE A BIG BULLET.

🚨🤯The expectation is that Chelsea will seek compensation from City, with the added threat of disclosure about the terms of Maresca’s departure from Stamford Bridge, and the events in the months leading up to it. [telegraph]

🚨 Chelsea have watched events around Guardiola’s future unfold with interest. They view Maresca’s resignation as the reason for their disappointing second half of the season. [guardian]

Unless I am missing something, Maresca didn’t get a pay rise after securing the top four target and then winning the club World Cup which no one thought Chelsea would, but the sporting directors did. He then in the summer didn’t get backed as much as he would have liked (the whole centre back thing) and once City contacted him, he asked for more power and again a pay rise and extension to reflect what he had done at Chelsea. Once Chelsea didn’t want to give him that until the summer review then he started to engage with City more seriously about a future job. To Maresca it must have come across very much like the success of his tenure was down to the model and not his work, so why are people calling him a snake?

Watching my tweets can feel like getting an early script to a movie. Do a Woltemade/Delap swap. Aerial-threat + elite link-up vs low-blocks. Could easily play Palmer + Joao Pedro off him as inside forwards vs teams who sit deep. Good luck stopping at least one from scoring.

Xabi Alonso wanted Yildiz badly at Real Madrid. He knows ball. The boy will cook in LHS.

A man can dream.

Andoni Iraola, right person, wrong timing. There were only 2 candidates that were perfect for the job other than you and one of them (which was Alonso) just happened to be available Top top coach, wherever you go next, I will be here supporting you. In another lifetime, gaffer🕊️

Chelsea hiring Alonso is a massive appointment on paper. I genuinely thought they were hyping us up just to end up with some random underwhelming option Step 1 - Complete ✅ Step 2 - Ensure you keep the core group Step 3 - Add 2/3 quality pieces Step 4 - Let Alonso Work
