On the one hand, I really hope they get it done at this point. It's proof that you can have patience with your young first time manager and build a squad the non Chelsea way.

On the other hand, their winning the title could set City off in anger this summer in the transfer market.

Here's a stat for the Jurgen fan club. Chelsea have equal the trophies as Liverpool in the Klopp era. There is nothing special about the man besides the rimming he gets from the media worldwide.

Probably the same amount of managers as trophies, too?

EDIT: checked. 8 managers. Started with Mourinho's second bite at the Russian apple and ends with Potter. Who could get sacked within a week. LOL

Yeah with zero stability. That is why people call Chelsea and their fans plastic. There is no continuity. It's buy, sack, hire, buy, buy, buy, sack, hire, rinse repeat. They have won trophies due to buying talent (not inherently wrong), but it is all so shortsighted. They succeed because of the transfer window, not because of good coaching.

I will never forget the way Chelsea did Roberto DiMatteo dirty. Just brutal. Anyone who saw that situation that has been willing to take that job is either greedy or foolish.

Graham Potter is about to find out.

Well I thinks fair to say that xavi could be considered one. Tito Villanova was very suscessful but he died. Gerland as well.

I don't know how this is defined over there. Typically coaching trees in North America are fruit born of being on a coaching staff with the root. Xavi played for Guardiola but never coached with him.

Arteta played for Moyes at Everton and Wenger at Arsenal. Either or both could lay claim to him if Guardiola can claim Xavi.

Reyna (finally played) for the first time in about a month yesterday against Chelsea in Champions League.

EDIT: Dude had been MIA for Dortmund up until yesterday vs Chelsea.

Sorry, I read it wrong. I thought he came on at 85 instead of going off. Nevertheless, it was his first action in a while.

Nope.

I guess the overall point is where the fuck's he been for so long?

As it was, Pulisic resurfaced for Chelsea as well.

Brandt has been brilliant for a title challenging Dortmund. Like for like player.

Pulisic finally fit. Maybe he provides an offensive spark.

Investigators Clear U.S. Soccer Coach in 1992 Incident (Published 2023)

An inquiry found U.S. Soccer could rehire Gregg Berhalter as coach of the men’s national team. But investigators criticized the parents of Gio Reyna for their part in the controversy.

U.S. Soccer Gregg Berhalter investigation: What was found, Reynas’ involvement and what’s next

A U.S. Soccer-commissioned investigation has new details on what occurred between the Berhalters and Reynas before and during the World Cup
theathletic.com theathletic.com

Just embarrassing any way you want to slice it. Unprofessional.

I don't know if he's willing to or not, but Gio needs to ask his parents to take a few steps back as far as I'm concerned. US Soccer should probably also define and set parameters as well when it comes to parent involvement.

Claudio Reyna’s agent, Dan Segal, emailed a statement to The Athletic: “US Soccer is a small community. Anyone who knows the Reynas knows that they are kind, generous people who have devoted countless hours and energy to promoting US soccer and to the welfare of so many fellow players, parents, coaches, administrators and others. They are also a tremendously loving family that was profoundly impacted by the terrible loss of their eldest son Jack to cancer in 2012 at the age of 13.

Claudio and Danielle acknowledge that they have said and done things in the heat of the moment that they regret, particularly the statement that triggered the US Soccer investigation. Gio acknowledges that, like countless players before, he showed too much disappointment when not selected to play at the World Cup.

That is only part of the story here, but the only side of the story that the investigators chose to tell. It is disheartening and grossly unfair to see the family turned into one-dimensional caricatures to progress a narrative that benefits others. Hopefully, as a US soccer community we are better than that.”

This has no relevance to the situation at all.
