Not going to be sacked though. May step down end of the season. In fairness to him, he has zero midfield

Yep, Tuchel is clearly somewhat unhinged and a bit of a nob, unfortunately we are going to be paying the price for that.

I was thinking earlier, had this happened post Fulham would the reaction have reached quite these levels of hyperbole, hysteria with a hefty dose of revisionist nonsense... on all sides ? He’s a great coach and has improved our players to a man, but no one is perfect, nor is anyone bigger than our club.
Saturday for example, was as much about Leicester being dire and two of our players being mesmeric, than the genius of GP... it was perhaps a culmination, but not a definition of his time... which is better reflected by a lack of cutting edge and those barren losing streaks, interspersed with flashes of top 6 mimicry and orgasmic climaxes.
GP is not God and as such is replaceable.
Yes, it’s a shame, but by Christ the way some people are freaking out you’d think Ritchie Blackmore had left Deep Purple prior to the recording of Made in Japan.
I wish him luck, he’ll need it.

I’d be less upset if Mick Jagger had left the Stones during the recording of Sympathy for the Devil

well QUITE!
We’ve just had our best season in 121 years of trying and seemed set fair to have a good tilt at bettering it. I think a little sadness is in order.
I’ll get over it but at 11:00 this morning I was blissfully unaware of Tuchel’s sacking. I’ve had less than half a day to come to terms with our much trumpeted stability being torn to shreds. It’s still a bit raw.
Bother!

You know, maybe we will better it ... maybe we’ll continue the upward trajectory... maybe our next manager won’t be a duffer and we’ll keep on growing...
Maybe...
We’ll break the chain.

I wonder who TB has got lined up for the next manager, apart from Bruno.

Two most important questions 1) is the shedend ready for Swansman and 2) do we get a transfer fee?

Bruno, Calde, Jones. These guys are absolutely nowhere near being in contention. Might aswell add Lallana to the list. What planet are you guys on?

Interesting comments on Five Live 10 15pm onwards highlighting the lack of structure at Chelsea compared to us...plus this article from the Guardian which raises many of the points we all have...

That's what the £16m release clause is really about.

Listening to a lot of the media today, it seems surprising that most pundits are shocked at Tuchel's sacking. Received wisdom seems to be that he's one of the European elite who any big club would want to have. However, it seems to me that all of his jobs have ended acrimoniously after a couple of seasons due to arguments with the people he has been working with. At Chelsea, he's come across as smug in victory and petulant in defeat. The Conte row was school kid level pathetic and he was hardly working hard to make friends with the new ownership. I wasn't impressed with him at all and like him even less now. Had the arrogant fool just worked a bit harder to make himself more amenable to the people employing him, we might not be having our manager nicked.
Looks rather like it, doesn’t it.
I must be a bit naive, but I am little surprised that, at this stage, Potter would want to leave Brighton. Yes, I know money talks and Potter is ambitious, but I am still scratching my head a bit.
Anyway, I am sure our leaders will have a quality short list in mind and we will continue to thrive, despite losing Ashworth and likely Potter in fairly quick succession.
