Mauricio Pochettino is GONE! What next for Chelsea? How it all unfolded with sourced information reported, Which manager do you want next? How are the players feeling? Much more...

The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 22nd May 2024!

Morning all,

I REALLY love having to re-write an entire newsletter because Chelsea, who held a meeting at 11am yesterday, decided to wait until 7pm to give Matt Law the news that they had mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Mauricio Pochettino. Cheers lads.

I had even signed off the live blog for the day and was helping put Solly to bed!! I then jumped back on the live blog to follow all the reporting, update it all with what EVERY outlet was saying, and added in a lot of my own sourced news on what I was hearing too. So, I would head to yesterday’s live blog right away today to find out all that is going on with Pochettino’s departure and potential new managers here.

I should have known it was coming to be honest. I wrote an article at 7am yesterday reporting that I’d heard they were now leaning towards Pochettino departing - and here we are. You can read that here if you missed it. I was also then hearing VERY strong whispers all day that he had gone, but not strong enough to report. Again, here we are!

Thankfully, Luke’s article is relevant because he writes in the evening, and that came after the Pochettino news. He needs your help in here please for a new bumper article he is going to write today. Pick your next Chelsea manager in this!

The Score’s article was also out before the news, but I guess many will actually still feel this is relevant anyway. He believed that Pochettino had done enough to stay, and he explains his reasoning and provides the data as to why he thought that in here.

Seun was back with his latest deep dive tactical analysis, his final one of the season. Many might say he saved the best until last, but every one of his articles are superb! Check the latest one on our win against Bournemouth here, filled with videos and images. Again, this was before Poch’s departure and has now turned out to be Seun’s final Poch tactical analysis article!

I am away on Thursday for the weekend which is typical as it’s all going on now and I am about to get super busy (a late Birthday present from my Wife), so myself and Jai are recording the latest Podcast today! That will be dropping into your emails this evening.

I am waiting on news to come in, so it’s very important to make sure you’re on the live blog with me today as I believe that is where I’ll need to be putting any sourced news out rather than too much in article format. It’s about to get crazy, busy, mad, silly, stupid, entertaining, and everything else in between. Never a damn dull moment with this damn club.

Peace, Si.
