Afraid Garnacho already has that copyrighted.

This is exactly what should be happening here, but instead we're stuck with the lame ducks who've spunked nearly £2bn to take us backwards. Cowards.

We are bad, truly bad. It nearly feels like there's an impossible job ahead for Alonso. So many bang average players who when confronted with a choice seem to pick the wrong one 99/100.

Did I not see that BlueCo have taken loans out for £500m and £800m against the Chelsea FC name, with one loan due to be paid back in the next couple of years, and the other by 2033? These loans are also accruing interest to add to the repayments. Was on " the rest is football " special when Rosenior was sacked.

Connections are parochial bo**ocks. If Poch looked uncomfortable it was due to dealing with the morons he eventually walked away from. The right person is all that matters.

It amounts to the same thing. Ignorant owners hiring incompetent SDs who make silly signings. We are 9th. At what point, if ever, do the owners wake up to the incompetence?

I'd take that with a grain of salt to be honest. They can send personal messages, not everything has to be online. If anything, sending public online messages feels performative when they downed tools on him.

I notice quite a few premier league players choose to move to Bayern over the last few seasons, where Bayern pretty much win the title every season. The premier league may be the most watched, the best PR, not necessarily the best. I'm not exactly salivating at the thought of watching Burnley v Brentford anytime.

Just wondering why anyone would think Enrique would leave the possible Champions league winners again for a mid table Premier league team?

What I find fascinating is for an ownership which prides itself on being data driven, they aren't seeing the glaring data on how sh*t the sporting directors are.

It makes for depressing reading. Football isn't baseball. It's not just data, stats, measuring.

Did you notice he couldn't do eye contact with the interviewer or camera? That says more than his words.
I never wanted him or his middle management bo**ocks, now I'm beginning to feel sorry for him a tad. He is being hung out to dry by those above him who have appointed him and don't have to come out and tell us the rationale of their decision to hire someone who was never going to be able.

If we don't win tonight, I guess we can kiss the title goodbye for another season. At least we gave it a good go this season. I think we can beat Bayern in the semi's. The Verve were wrong, the drugs do work.

"Fine margins" should be there.

Lads he just needs Barco and a preseason.

And on page number 666 of this thread.

As we all probably know, he is going nowhere. Not qualifying for the champions league affects our ffp, which hits the budget. Sacking Rosenior and paying his 6 year contract would have some impact on that. And hiring someone else. Until the owners realise that just because they are American and have a severe dose of American exceptionalism, that football is not American sports, is not something that you can come in and change the whole model because you feel you know best. Until that particular penny/cent drops, we are aiming for mediocrity at best.

...anyway.
While he has spectacularly f**ked up every single man management situation he's faced, and while his public speaking inclines more towards coprophagic corporate aphorism than anything of substance (let alone true), he is hardly the problem.
Today Rosenior started the best XI available to him; every option on the bench would have made the team measurably worse. One assumes that he would have started Fernández given the opportunity, but that decision was taken out of his hands. And let's not forget that Rodri said worse and Pep was able to shrug it off; it was the impotent, maggot-dicked parvenus above Rosenior who couldn't tolerate the slightest dissent.
The players he had available were worse than the players the other team had. That is the responsibility of the owners and the incompetent/corrupt apparatchiks they chose to put in charge of the footballing side of the club. That isn't to say that I think Rosenior is qualified or even competent, but sadly that is now our lot as Chelsea fans.

I heard he prefers to play on the right wing nowadays but that may just be a conspiracy #satire

Summed it up perfectly. Tbh, I don't blame him. The vast majority on here are neither BlueCo or Rosenior fans, and voice our exasperation with both. If I was playing for Chelsea at the moment, and it's a short career, I'd be probably thinking I would want a move to somewhere where there's a plan, where's there's not an ongoing project that never seems to have an end. We are fans, the players are employees. We can probably all relate to being in a job that we'd like to get out of at some time in life. BlueCo have shown us nothing to show that the future is bright, to fans or employees. Unless you are a SD of course. Or an over promoted championship " coach".
