Well, here we go again. The coaching carousel continues to spin at Chelsea Football Club. I really thought that Mauricio Pochettino would have the chance to take this young squad further, and build on what was achieved. And things were achieved last season. I firmly believe steps were taken in the right direction to get… Continue reading Pochettino out, Maresca in, as Chelsea ring the managerial changes again.

Give Pochettino ’til the end of the season.
Two weeks ago, I was all geared up to write my ‘Pochettino out piece’. I was at the 4-2 defeat to Wolves and like every other home fan there, had been thoroughly disappointed by what I had seen.
