I genuinely feel sorry him – Tuchel told why he could lose his Chelsea job
Ahead of Roman Abramovich’s decision to sell Chelsea, Troy Deeney fears a new Chelsea owner may ‘possibly’ relieve Thomas Tuchel of his duties in order to make their mark at Stamford Bridge.
He wrote in his column for The Sun: “I can imagine it is really horrible to be the manager of Chelsea at the moment,”
“I genuinely felt sorry for Thomas Tuchel when I saw him answer question after question on Roman Abramovich and the club’s future.
“Tuchel is the boss. Russia’s conflict with Ukraine is a huge talking point around the globe.
“He is one of the few people who can be questioned on it on a weekly basis.
“But like most of us, he doesn’t have all the answers and doesn’t always know what to say.
“Just give him a break. It is also unfair to be asking players about it.”
“It is a really new and weird place to be in,” he added.
“The one thing that will really be happening from a player’s perspective will be a lot of imagination.
“Everyone will have an idea of what kind of owner they want.
“Realistically, with the price tag of the club being what it is, you’re not going to get a schmuck — they will know what they are doing.
“The only worry for the players will be if a new owner brings change and wants to stamp his authority on a few things.
“Could that mean a manager change? Possibly. Could that mean a couple of new players that affect your position? Possibly.
“Are they going to get a different type of owner who isn’t as trigger happy in the transfer market, more someone who likes to balance the books like Arsenal’s Stan Kroenke?
“After losing the League Cup final to Liverpool on penalties, Chelsea’s season looks to be on a knife edge.
“There are a lot of distractions and it has the potential to derail the season, especially at a time in the campaign when it could go either way.
“But if they put a couple of wins together, it will look completely different.”
