Mauricio Pochettino remains determined to win over the Chelsea fans who demanded his departure during the match against Brentford.

However, despite his efforts, it seems he has largely lost the backing of the hardcore supporters, and his future with the Blues is increasingly uncertain. Chelsea intends to retain Pochettino until the season’s end to avoid a repeat of last season’s disastrous finale, but the atmosphere within the club is becoming toxic, signaling an unsustainable situation.

During the match, around 2,000 fans expressed their discontent by chanting for Pochettino to leave and even calling for the return of Jose Mourinho. This dissatisfaction was exacerbated when co-owner Todd Boehly was seen attending the Bahrain Grand Prix while Chelsea struggled on the field.

With Chelsea now far from Champions League qualification, fans question Pochettino’s ability to lead the team to victory, especially given his lack of connection with the supporters and questionable decisions, such as minimal substitutions despite player fatigue.

Pochettino acknowledged the lack of support from the fans but remains unfazed, though the question of his future looms large. While dismissing Pochettino might momentarily satisfy disgruntled fans, it would leave Chelsea adrift for the remainder of the season.

The club’s reluctance to rehire Mourinho and the unsuitability of other managers for the young squad further complicate the situation.

Despite the unrest, Pochettino still enjoys support from the players and backing from the co-owners, at least for now. However, failure to secure European qualification would undoubtedly jeopardize his position.

The discontent among fans extends beyond Pochettino to broader issues within the club, including concerns about the management of funds and the sale of academy players.

As Chelsea prepares to face Newcastle, Pochettino’s immediate future hinges on the patience of the club’s owners amidst the mounting pressure from disillusioned supporters.
