Here's the problem. He thinks having a team full of top footballers is enough. It's not. Guarantee every player on that pitch would look better if they were in a different team or under a different manager. Look at Fred for Brazil ffs. We have a team full of top players who don't seem to know what they are meant to be doing, or what their teammates are supposed to be doing. |

We definitely don't need a full squad rebuild. We need someone to decipher a style and formation then figure out which players that we have fit into that and where. Then replace the others. Currently Ole is putting out teams that might look food on paper but there too unbalanced and badly organised. They're now lacking confidence, if not in themselves but in the system (aka 'the project') or both.

And then there's the issue of who we put in charge of buying new players. Are we going to leave it to whatever manager we have, when there's a good chance he won't be at the club for 3 full seasons, or leave it to the club hierarchy? I just want the club to have a direction in what we do going forward. Rather than just snapping the fingers when we hit a bad patch and then desperately trying to figure out what's best after the fact. |

I’m sure there were plenty of Chelsea fans who were backing Lampard and wanted to see him given time. There wasn’t much more out there this time last year than there is now.
What they did was hire someone with clear pedigree and he instantly elevated them to something akin to what their squad looks like. There is now no doubt that they made the right decision and he is clearly a cut above Lampard. We need to do the same. As sparky says, Ole was right at the time he was hired. He’s done a good job getting us to this point, but it’s becoming increasingly clear he simply is not good enough as a manager to take us any further. That doesn’t have to be a big deal or even a failure. It just is what it is. The club don’t seem to see this. I’m mostly concerned by the clubs attitude. They seem hell bent on backing Ole regardless of what they see in front of them. Why have his backtroom staff been given new contracts? Why leak that he is 100% safe? Why is he 100% safe? He shouldn’t be. Where is this level of faith actually coming from? He’s never had the credentials, so the defence for him has always been that you could defend the job he’s actually doing. As soon as that isn’t the case, he’s in trouble. And we’re at that point now. It’s getting harder and harder to defend the job he’s currently doing. Not what’s gone before, but where we are NOW. We’re now operating on blind faith and loyalty to a player we like and I don’t think the club has the ambition to change it. The only thing that will shift it will be the fans turning or the players turning. Or both. |

Not even close to full squad rebuild needed. We have a good squad. Even our midfield isn't a million miles away from top 4 standard. But we've been playing square pegs in round holes for two seasons now.
Needs to end. This attitude of "who we going to get in instead?" is defeatist. We can't predict the future, obviously, but sometimes you have to take a risk or you get stuck in mediocrity, which is where we are now (relative to the players we have). Sticking with Ole is accepting failure and given the huge salary he is on, it's a ludicrous stance. |

We've been stung with the van Gaal and Mourinho appointments but a lot of that was down to the board relying on them to rebuild and shape the squad. That doesn’t need to happen this time and big positive under Ole is that the club seems to have got recruitment right and now with Fletcher and the other fella in place there’s the stability and structure in place. |

“Someone who can do a better job” We need to get out of this mentality that we need someone who is going to build a dynasty. I couldn’t care less if someone stuck around for 3 years, as long as they did well, in the right way. More important, for me, is getting someone who won’t rip out what we have. Despite us needing a change, the squad is in much better shape than at any other time of someone taking over, so let’s not get someone who will rip it out. That’s a big part of what is setting us back: each manager spending a tonne on trying to correct the last persons mistakes. One of the best things Ole has done is build a better squad. Anyone coming in has a good set up on their hands and it should be one of the more comfortable transitions of recent years. We’re directionless, but we’re not a bad squad at all. Above all else, we need an actual quality coach. |
