100% and I think loftus cheek would be ideal. I’m happy with giroud tbh but I do think a striker in the aguero mould would propel us. Even Lewandowski but can’t see him coming. Dybala is the one I would love to have but that’s like asking for a miracle.

I am frustrated with the cycle... sh*t season-buy players, that turn out to be sh*t, sell them on. You make a good point that you could argue these mediocre signings could well be the same calibre of the ones we have in our youth setup. Ill never forget kenyons promise “10 year plan” profitable and developing our own talent to play for Chelsea. Good one.

I would be crushed if conte was to leave. He’s the man for us but he needs backing and trust from the board just give him the players he wants!! ive thought a lot about who we should go for if he left and personally I think Rodgers would be a good fit for us. Very surprising but he’s a Chelsea man and has good work ethic. Would blood some of our exceptional youngsters

It’s difficult to comprehend where this club is at the moment, after an insane season last year, to what has happened this year. Antonio isn’t the same man, remains to be seen as to why, but I have some views on what I think needs to happen, most wont like it but I would like some thoughts. It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with the fact t this club will never have stability when it comes to managers, we fall in love with the ones that come in, win a trophy, then the players flop, and the managers get sacked. This is Chelsea football club. what I want to happen now is start to integrate our young European cup winners.. in all honesty I think hazard should go, he will never reach his potential at Chelsea, it’s the wrong fit for him because of our lack of managerial stability and philosophies, out goes morata, Cahill, bakaf**kinyoko, Barkley, Pedro and probably courtois, I don’t see these guys with a future any more. time to see loftus-cheek start regularly, Hudson-odoi, mason mount.. if we as a club are happy to let the best manager we’ve had in years go, and he is just that.. he’s been f**ked over with players he didn’t want to sign, if were happy with this instability then what’s the harm in starting the exceptional talent we have?? I’m tired of the merry-go-round, just wondered if I’m the only one with these views.

Cmon mate... Sarcasm..

Did I mention supporting another club?? No. To be honest the state of football in itself is a joke. My concerns reach further than the way we have or haven't changed over the years. You can question what I've said but can you disagree with the rest.

In my personal opinion we definitely need a change in style of play, having 2 wide players who in effect are central attackers is pretty pointless unless they are aggressive down the wing or trying to beat a defender or have a pop at goal... The days of robben and duff probably spoiled us but that is what I think we could do with. I would love to see Lucas moura at the club along with pogba or modric. To elevate us into a force in Europe again I do think we need to change the way we play. Atletico are a great example, champions a couple seasons ago, champions league final, and back in the semi this year, sold some important players and maintained their identity and philosophy which is working, I don't necessarily care whether it's attractive all the time, results are what matter. Ancelotti had us disciplined and I was gutted when he left. The managers who come and go seems to be the trend at the club, all I wish for is to see some of our young boys given a chance. That has to come from above, sadly I don't see that ever happen in unless Roman leaves.

Thanks mate. Yeah I registered yesterday because I wanted to vent some frustration and get a general consensus about things from other fans.

Some of you are misunderstanding, in hindsight my statement about thinking about my support for the club was probably wrong but I've spent my whole adolescent and adult life idolising this club and its players and to see us almost back to square 1 again, I.e yet another manager with yet another task to rebuild a TEAM... It frustrates the hell out of me. It's been over 10 years since Roman took over we should not be in this Position. I will never stop supporting Chelsea its in my blood, I just wanted opinions from other fans if I'm just thinking alone on the way things are. Golden era or not, it's about the progression the club is making when we have a bottom less pit of money. In terms of structure and creating our own superstars within the club, we have the facilities.

We could have the season were having for many years to come and ill always support Chelsea, that being said, based on our policy of bringing through our top talent, it has to be done, its not fair on these boys with so much potential. I'm disillusioned with how the club is run not the results

Fair enough. I think being from south wales I wouldn't understand that in the way you might. I'm not Involved in match days as I don't get the time off work or afford it, so id imagine if I were connected so closely in going to matches more often then I would see it in the way you do...

Yeah Man City... I'm a football fan. At times this club does nothing to help itself, manager after manager, the decision to let Terry go is a joke. I find it hard to have the same passion for Chelsea when I see constant lies and excuses from the clubs heirachy about what is right for the club. They havnt got a clue. So much emphasis these days is focused on bringing young talent through, we have the best in the country, and where are they? on loan until theyre 21 odd then sold on to other clubs for us to either buy back or go to Man city for £50 million... I do feel like a fraud and I never believed I would feel the way I do about Chelsea but the disloyalty it shows sometimes isn't right. I guess its just my opinion of what I want from the club. Not everyone will agree.

Exactly. I just feel like now with yet another manager coming in, I'm guessing he will do well to stay for 3 years, why not change our philosophy, build a team, or build the base of a new team with our very exciting youth squad, no pressure and see where it takes us. Otherwise what are we gonna do? Spend £100million every time we have a season like we just have? On the back of becoming champions..

Ive been a Chelsea fan for almost 20 years, I'm from south wales and the reason I supported Chelsea was because of my dad. Because I live so far away I am unable to make a lot of games, and I also just simply cannot afford it. As much as I feel like an armchair fan, not one person will ever tell me I am not a true fan and how much I love this football club. As everyone will know its been a rollercoaster 15 odd years, and I would say the last 10 have been the best of my life in terms of our success, so for that I cannot speak badly about Roman, he is everything to the club, but I have decided to get opinions of other blues fans about the state of the club at the moment, and this is off the back of what Cesc Fabregas said on Monday night football. Up until then I had heard so many great things about Conte's management skills, his philosophy and ambition. That he likes to bring through youth players into the first team... Cesc was quoted as saying that conte wants immediate success and instant silverware... If this is the case, then I will give the club 5 years to see where we are, and if we are still in the same mess we are in now, I genuinely will reconsider my support of this club. When Robbie Di Matteo was sacked after winning the champions league, I was disgusted. Why he wasn't given the season to see what he could do was wrong in my opinion... Since then, every manager that has come in has never lasted, much like the ones before Di Matteo...During all this the club has had its success, so we cant complain.. Seeing what has happened to us this season is a disgrace, From champions, to mediocrity at best, is an absolute disgrace. I was glad when Jose was sacked, because in my opinion, as much as he has done for the club, he is a fraud. He, along with that A**ehole peter Kenyon, made the statement that Chelsea would be profitable and have a nucleus of young talent coming through the club within 10 years.. Hasn't happened. Jose said he would have failed as a manager if players like Ruben LC, Solanke and Izzy Brown weren't England internationals during his tenure...Guess what, they're nowhere near. Only now, when there is nothing to play for, are we seeing these players like RLC and Traore coming into the team... Which is what is wrong with this club. We have the best youth side in Europe, FACT! They've proven it TWICE. I remember watching a pre season friendly about 3 years ago, and the best player on the pitch was Loftus Cheek, he was 17 I think, and I remember thinking this kid is gonna be something special, but deep down I knew he probably wouldn't stand a chance of getting into our first team... My point is, this club needs a massive re-structure, we spend millions on "superstars", players who are "the finished article" or who have had possibly 2 good seasons playing at a high level, who come into the club on massive wages.. To me, once you secure a contract where you will earn millions upon millions, where is your ambition and hunger to succeed? I could probably name players like Lamps, JT, Zola, among others, who loved playing for the club and giving their all, I don't see that in any player in todays squad other than Willian who gives a Sh*t. Its no coincidence that I feel this way when you see Leicester and Spurs fighting for the title, and I think this could be the massive shake up football needs, to see the passion, desire, hunger, ambition, dedication to the cause that those clubs are achieving goes to show that you don't need superstars in your team, you need an actual TEAM, players who give their all and fight for each other. These players don't earn half as what the Chelsea players do, so I'm sure they have the hunger to EARN better contracts, which is what needs to happen. The Chelsea board all need to be replaced, with people who know football and what it takes to run a club properly... We potentially have a base of young players who could go on to become full internationals, and with Conte coming in I was hoping Chelsea would accept a trophyless few seasons and build a future for the club using players we have in abundance in the youth set-up, using that philosophy is the only way we can go forward, and stop spending money every time we have a crap season. I could list all the players Chelsea have let go over the years that would slot straight into our current side... But we all know who they are. I would just like to hear if I am the only one who feels this way, or am I betraying the club by thinking this way?
