Exclusive: ‘Graham Potter but with the trophies’ – Chelsea players couldn’t take liberties with this surprise candidate

The Chelsea managerial merry-go-round appears to be like prefer it could be turning apace for some whereas but, as one other candidate has had his title thrown into the ring.

It seems that Todd Boehly needs to solid the online as broad as doable earlier than making a call, and there are professionals and cons to doing so.

The query that actually ought to be requested is whether or not he has the faintest thought of what kind of supervisor he needs within the hot-seat given the actual model that he would convey.

His resolution to parachute Frank Lampard in on the expense of Graham Potter has been proven to be utterly the flawed one to make, and that doesn’t bode properly for the fast future.

Stan Collymore, writing in his unique column for CaughtOffside, has additionally famous the eleventh hour admission of one other managerial hopeful into the combo, and it’s a reputation which may shock lots of people.

‘It’s attention-grabbing that I’ve simply heard that Vincent Kompany has been talked about for the Chelsea job alongside Nagelsmann, Pochettino and any individual else,’ he wrote.

‘Now, Vinny Kompany could be Graham Potter however with the trophies and the medals to show he was a bona fide Premier League legend which is at all times troublesome to get throughout in a dressing room. The Chelsea gamers actually wouldn’t be capable to get one over on him in the identical method as they did with Graham Potter.

‘He’s clearly a really vivid man, he went away and did a masters in addition to then going to Anderlecht to chop his enamel in Belgium.’

While Kompany actually does have the kudos that Potter didn’t because of a stellar Premier League profession, it’s uncertain that Boehly can afford to take an opportunity on him given his comparatively brief managerial stint thus far.

Chelsea will certainly be higher served by a longtime title, although he can’t be booted out like Potter was if issues are going properly within the first few months of his tenure.

‘I don’t suppose Frank Lampard is any higher than Graham Potter and all that appointment’s finished is given Chelsea followers the reassurance of a sugar hit of a brand new supervisor. The board ought to truly be taking a look at a sustainable methodology that may get them success which I don’t suppose contains rent and hearth anymore,’ Collymore continued.

‘Whoever will get the job, they’ve obtained to be given the time to discharge what I believe it’s that Todd Boehly needs, which is a few kind of consistency.

‘From a enjoying perspective, Chelsea aren’t in a two or three horse race for the Premier League and the Champions League anymore. Newcastle are doing rather well, they’ve obtained cash. Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal too.

‘Spurs aren’t going wherever as a result of they’ve obtained a sure degree of capital that they’ll spend… golf equipment like Brighton and Brentford which are actually progressive when it comes to recruitment can be up there difficult for Europe, after which in a couple of years golf equipment like Everton, who’re transferring into a brand new, income producing stadium, and Villa who’ve very rich house owners can be in that bracket.

‘Leeds too could be ripe for purchasing and rapidly the Jose Mourinho ‘Particular One’ group which maybe solely had Man United to beat, now they’ve obtained 5, six or seven groups in the identical house so an everyday hiring and firing of managers received’t work for Todd Boehly.’

What occurs subsequent will inform us a lot about Boehly’s modus operandi, and whether or not Chelsea have it in them to problem for honours once more or threat turning into one other Premier League additionally ran.
