Ena večjih novic zadnjih mesecev. In tudi poteza na mestu, rare W. In seveda ure po porazu v finalu pokala FA, calculated AF.

Jaz sem sicer zadovoljen z oznanitvijo Alonsa. Se pa bojim, da ne bo dovolj. Seveda upam, ampak tale naša zabloda je mnogo "večja" od trenerja, to je jasno že nekaj časa. Govori se sicer da je Alonso želel neka zagotovila, nisem se poglobil kakšna, sklepam da glede okrepitev, delovanja itd. A je kdo kaj bolje informiran?

Čaka nas po mojem kar burno poletje, pričakujem marsikakšen boleč odhod in spet vsaj eno dolgo prestopno sago, ki bo na koncu padla v vodo. Ni podlage, da bi pričakovali kakorkoli drugače. Alonso sicer vliva nekaj upanja da zunanji opazovalci (igralci) gledajo nekoliko drugače, kot če bi sedel na klopi nek Rosenior.

Ampak, ne smemo se ponovno peljati na led, prevečkrat smo se že sprijaznili s kakšno tako potezo, pa vsakič samo še bolj potonemo. Govorijo naj zmage, borbe za lovorike, dejanska borba na igrišču, ne pa da končaš finale FA in si vesel ker se je ekipa borila, čeprav so skupaj spracali 1 strel na gol v finalu...

Srečno mu, BlueCo out.

Tudi jaz sem zadovoljen z Alonsom. Bil bi tudi z Iraolo.
Je pa edino pomembno, da se vodstvo ne bo več vtikalo v delo trenerja. Če bo tako kot do zdaj lahko pride Ancelotti, Mourinho, Simeone al pa SAF, pa ne bo nič drugače. Če pa bo klub spremenu pristop, pa mislim, da bi Alonso znal bit kar pravi za nas.

Sezona brez europe bi bila kr uredu da igralci se bol posvetijo prvenstvu in kaksnemu pokalu, tko da europa trenutno res bolje da malo pociva, ker smo za tam itk preslabi...
Alonso naj prvo dobi respekt slacilnice in da so igralci z njim, naj blucompani ne umesava se v delo trenerja...
Naj vse te nakupe ki so bili nategnjeni, naj se jih znebimo, Garnacho, Hato, Fofana, Badiashile, Gitens,Delap...in naj pridejo ponizni igralci in garaci...

Osebno sem si želel nekoga drugega, seveda pa si želim preobrata in dobrih iger. Upam, da bo jedro igralcev ostalo in da se bo gradilo naprej.

Iskreno sem zelo vesel, da smo uspel dobit Alonsa, daleč najboljša realna opcija po mojem mnenju. Kar se mi zdi še bolj pomembno, zgleda so naši lastniki končno uvideli, da je fajn trenerju pustit vsaj nekaj svobode in le to naj bi Alonso imel. Konec koncev je prvi pod Američani, ki ima naziv "manager" in ne "head coach", o tem da bo imel več vpliva pišejo tudi praktično vsi kredibilni mediji. Lahko da to drži, lahko pa da je tudi vse le PR, bomo videli najbrž že poleti pri prvih prestopih. Tam se bo tudi pokazalo, a gremo res iskat bolj zrele in že razvite igralce, al bomo spet lovil kategorijo "barely legal".
Zaenkrat v naslednjo sezono gledam s piko več optimizma kot še pred nekaj dnevi in kot bi, če bi na klop sedel Iraola ali nedaj bože Marco Silva in podobni kalibri.

Blue222, čisto iz firbca, koga si si bolj želel in kaj te pri Alonsu moti oz. zakaj si si bolj želel drugega, kot njega?

Resnično upam, da mu pustijo proste roke. V nasprotnem primeru bomo šli po poti spursov.

Chelsea FC appreciates the 2025/26 season was a hugely disappointing one for the Club and its supporters. A major contributing factor was the disruption caused as a result of changes that the Club was forced to make to the Head Coach position over the Christmas period. Due to recent developments, we consider that it is important to explain to our supporters what happened and why our former Head Coach left the Club on 1 January 2026.

In Autumn last year, the Club was informed by our former Head Coach that there might be an opportunity for him to succeed Pep Guardiola at the end of the season. It became clear to us that it was his strong desire to succeed Guardiola and that he was fully committed to pursuing the opportunity, despite the fact he was under a long-term contract which he had no right to terminate.

In December 2025, our Head Coach unexpectedly and abruptly resigned from his position. Obviously, we felt let down as we believed that his head and heart were focused on another club and another opportunity, despite having just arrived at Chelsea the year before.

No club wants to change its head coach midway through a season. However, in light of his decision not to continue fulfilling his responsibilities through to the end of the season, the Club was left with no choice but to protect our players, our supporters, and the Badge and accept his resignation.

In the circumstances and given the mutual respect between clubs, a confidential settlement has been reached with Manchester City, which includes the payment of compensation. A confidential settlement has also been reached with the former Head Coach under which he will pay compensation.

Looking forward to next season, in Xabi Alonso, we have a Manager who has an exceptional football mind and is a professional of the highest integrity. He has all the attributes to deliver the success the Club’s supporters deserve and expect.
