AnnT: Is it true that Thomas Tuchel begged for his job at Chelsea and had he lost the dressing room and most players were relieved to see him go?
Adam says: "I don't believe Tuchel 'begged' to keep his job. The decision to sack him was a huge surprise and it was one that, fairly obviously, he did not believe was correct. From what I've been able to gather – and keep in mind there are always two sides to this story – Tuchel explained why he felt he deserved more time as he could get more from the new additions.
"But Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali had decided the working relationship wasn't what they wanted and made the call. What's worth keeping in mind is that this wasn't a decision based on Tuchel's pure coaching skills, they were beyond doubt in the minds of those in charge.
