We asked for your views on which manager you would like to see at Chelsea next.

Here are some of your comments:

Graham: Andoni Iraola would be my choice. Love the high intensity football, and he knows how to get the best out of the hand he is dealt. No matter what manager is chosen, they need to have more of a say on the running of the squad. Let's hope BlueCo has finally woken up.

Mak: Cesc Fabregas should be the next manager, period. His passion for the game coupled with Premier League experience and a bit of Blue in him makes him the top choice for me.

Nick: Too soon for Cesc Fabregas. Iraola my strong preference, because of his style of play and his ability to improve players and gel them into a team. But no decent manager will take the job unless they have ultimate say over transfers. That would mean Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart [sporting directors] taking a back seat. Or, preferably, leaving.

Peter: We need to stop looking at mid-table team managers and look for those with vision - the new Pep Guardiola or Jose Mourinho - but that requires the management to allow them to manage. The best manager Chelsea could have had in the past two years manages the US women's team [Emma Hayes] but even she would struggle with ownership intervention.
