‘Get New Manager In Now, Even Besides Frank’ Says Sherwood
Tim Sherwood on Soccer Special:
“It’s still a big couple of months for Chelsea, because I think they need to get a manager in as soon as possible.
“If they find a manager, they should bring him in, so he gets an opportunity to look at the squad, what he’s got, because there’s a huge clear-out needed here.
“The squad is so disjointed, they have so many players in offensive areas, wide areas, and are pretty similar quality-wise.
“Let a manager come in, let him see them play, train every day, with tough games to come, and then he can make a decision.
“The recruitment has been absolutely shocking, so allow the manager to be part of the recruitment policy. Otherwise you could waste these six weeks, and you start from scratch next year, and the new manager has to get used to the players.
“Use this time! If there is someone out there, out of a job, that they like, bring them in now!
“Frank will understand. He’s gone in there to help them out. I’m sure he’ll hold his hands up and say: ‘Look, there’s nothing to play for now’.
“If there is a manager free to come in now, have the conversation with Frank or even come in alongside Frank and watch from close quarters. They need to do something like that now.”
