Fabregas? Lampard? Hayes? Alonso? - fans not looking for a 'yes-man'

Andy: Whoever is selected must be allowed to have greater control with regards to buying, selling and player rotation. Otherwise, the merry-go-round will continue and Chelsea will continue to spiral. At the moment, it is akin to driving with the handbrake on and not understanding why the car isn't moving forward.

John: If the owners are considering changing their ways, why not bring back Enzo Maresca? The players liked him and, while his style wasn't thrilling, he was effective, we won trophies and we even scored the occasional goal.

Allison: Emma Hayes! She can't do any worse than what some of the previous managers have done. Personally, I would've never have sacked Thomas Tuchel. I also believe John Terry needs a bigger role within the first team, his heart is pure blue.

Marvo: The best candidate would Xabi Alonso. His style of play will suit a lot of our current players, but I doubt he would be interested in the job. The owners have created so much chaos.

Chris: Chelsea will be linked with various big managerial candidates over the coming months but, with BlueCo pulling the strings, we will end up with another mediocre 'yes-man' who will be gone in six months.
