east lower Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Simon Jordan on the morning show he does on Talksport has referred to a conversation/s, he had with Todd Boehly out in Qatar during the World Cup and that Chelsea Fans would be astonished if they were aware of the things that were done and said by Thomas Tuchel to TB and the management team in the lead-up to his sacking. He's never going to betray those confidences but just putting it out there for any suggestions/ideas - both sensible and not so sensible. Whatever they were, they weren't that popular with our new ownership team, unless they were just looking for an excuse to get TT out of the building.

I think we've mentioned this before and the consensus of opinion was that with the best will in the World TB would say that wouldn't he? I don't suppose we'll ever know , however I get the feeling some of the players were feeling disgruntled for being outed as rubbish when they were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Mark Kelly alludes to, it's not something I'd put any stock in unless Jordan actually says what was said. And he won't, for perfectly understandable reasons. I expect they are things Bohely already put out in the briefings, e.g. that Tuchel didn't always answer his phone and wanted some calls to go through his agent, that he challenged some of the proposed transfer dealings put to him. Perhaps he was blunt, rude even, about these things. But then we don't know how these things were framed to him. Certainly I'd stop taking calls from a boss who kept trying to make me do a job that wasn't mine, and would be frustrated at having to explain why an idea was bad multiple times (I always found the briefing that Tuchel refused to accept signing was Ronaldo was a good idea even after multiple conversations hilarious, clearly reflects more poorly on the people initiating that conversation than Tuchel). My guess is that Tuchel had a view, stuck to it and communicated it very, very frankly. And it went down badly with Boehly. I genuinely would be astonished if it was more than that.

The fact that Europpean clubs have been doing this for years is tactfully ignored. Also they are attempting to trawl up any and all has been ex players who are prepared to trot out the same old tut about us "massively" overpaying for Enzo. Let's be honest it's not that much more than the £100m for Grealish who hasn't exactly backed up that level of fee. As an aside it's a constant source of irritation for me how certain players are constantly referred to by just their christian name in the media. Jack (Grealish), Jack (Wilshere), Trent, Frank or Harry as if they're everyone's best mate. Maybe we should go the whole hog and just give everyone a nickname the way the Brazilans do. Or maybe I'm just becoming a grumpy old git. I suppose context means a lot when quoting a spoken as opposed to a written statement. When I listened to Simon Jordan he seemed to emphasise the point that the actions of TT were very serious. All the items mentioned, would not improve relationships but are they deal-breakers? What would concern me is that all first-team matters should be the coaches call without any other influence, unless the coach asks for assistance. Too many cooks syndrome??

Backbiter Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 ^^Have BT Sport finally acknowledged our existence? They make very good documentaries, if you overlook the fact 90% of them have been about Liverpool or ManU. They did give us brief mentions in the Greaves and Hoddle films, but their blatant ignoring of our club has been ridiculous when deciding what to commission a film about.
