Cheatski are still scum

I know nothing about him other than being Leicester manager and their fans going off him towards the end of the season.
Why would Boehly and co want him? Does he have a pre-Leicester pedigree?

Not much, looking at only Wiki (so not taking anywhere near the full picture)

Won the Premier League 2 with Emirates Marketing Project. Went to Italy where he should have easily got a team promoted, and didn't (Buffon was in the team). Got sacked, went to be Pep's number 2 and then went to Leicester.

And they have enough quality in that team to easily get promoted.
 
They sacked Poch to get a guy who's got a couple of years of experience...

Sounds like he's the best-qualified manager who's happy to just run training whilst letting the higher ups do everything else.

A complete yes man is exactly what they want. The new United owners are the same.
 
Chelsea's player trading/recruitment team doesn't want input from the coach, so they had to get a new one.

Then they remembered they're pretending to be a project club, so they gave him a long contract.

Poch only had one year left and he had ideas on how to improve the team (whether they were any good we'll never know), so he had to go.
 
Investment is probably a generous term. Asset to strip perhaps more accurate.
The Chelsea actions are 'interesting' in this respect.

These transactions are to 'balance the books' 'save us from sanctions' ....it'll be interesting to see who actually owns what when Clearlake cash out.
 
So with Chelsea ending up in the Europa Conference league and will again be subject to UEFA cost controls. Does this screw them over?
 
Just noticed that Cheatski are going to play in the FIFA Club World Cup, along with City. No idea why Cheatski are in it, but I'm not complaining. Along with the ECL, it just means more utterly pointless games for them, so they'll run out of steam and pick up injuries towards the end of season, and also probably get a shed load of postponed games stacked up.
Just looked this up and it’s not midseason. It’s June/July 2025.
