A decent article in the Mail for a change. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10869167/Chelsea-Roman-Abramovichs-greatest-gift-creating-club-appealing-billionaire-buyer.html

Statement from Roman on the official website: It has been nearly three months since I announced my intention to sell Chelsea FC. During this time, the team have worked hard to find the right custodian for Chelsea FC that would be best positioned to successfully lead the Club into its next chapter. The ownership of this Club comes with great responsibility. Since I came to Chelsea nearly twenty years ago, I have witnessed first-hand what this Club can achieve. My goal has been to ensure that the next owner has a mindset that will enable success for the Men’s and Women’s team, as well as the will and drive to continue developing other key aspects of the Club, such as the Academy and the vital work of Chelsea Foundation. I am pleased this search has now come to a successful conclusion. As I hand over Chelsea to its new custodians, I would like to wish them the best of success, both on and off the pitch. It has been an honour of a lifetime to be a part of this Club – I would like to thank all the Club’s past and current players, staff, and of course fans for these incredible years. I am proud that as a result of our joint successes, millions of people will now benefit from the new charitable foundation which is being established. This is the legacy which we have created together. Thank you. Roman TOP MAN!

Keep looking on Sky Sports News for an official announcement, but all I keep seeing is the usual vomit-inducing Liverpool love-fest. Apparently, the greatest team in the world are playing in the Champions League final tomorrow. Who would have known? Please, please, please, please Real Madrid, give them dippers a good tonkin’. I can’t stand looking at Klopp’s big white choppers any more this season. Or ever again for that matter.

We get zero credit for anything positive we do, which is a hell of a lot, as others have mentioned. Anything considered negative in the slightest and the media/rival fans/d**khead ex-players of other clubs are all over it like a rash and milk it 'till kingdom come. I'm sick of the lot of 'em.

Well well, would you believe it? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10856457/Chelsea-bizarrely-awarded-worlds-Football-Club-BEST-REPUTATION-promoting-PEACE.html Typical of the Daily Fail to insert the word ‘bizarrely’. They really are a scum newspaper and I bet they hated publishing that.

I'm sure somebody will find something 😒

Couldn't agree more. The more I read/hear about Todd, the more confident I feel that we are going to be more than fine under his stewardship. Come On You Blues!

Good article in the Evening Standard: https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-transfer-news-boehly-tuchel-b1002221.html Particularly like this bit: 'Sources close to Boehly say he is determined to return the club to the summit of English football and has even set his sights on bettering Abramovich’s unprecedented success.'

Haha very true!

Hmmmm...........Raheem Sterling. Yes I've seen some reports that we are after him. Not sure what I think about that really. Probably an improvement on what we've got I suppose.

How long till the first new signing? 48 hours?

Hoo Bloody Ray!

Kudos to Ross on getting us a very welcome home victory in the last game of a largely sh*tty season. I actually think if he had a brain he would be a decent player. But as he was born a scouser, it is way beyond the realms of possibility.

Well, we managed one goal from 20 attempts with seven on target. Leicester score one goal from one shot on target, plus one other attempt. Groundhog Day.

Yeah, can't really see it happening as it seems Todd & The Gang are fully committed to staying at Stamford Bridge.

As much as I would love us to remain at Stamford Bridge, I would not be against moving up the road to the old Earls Court Exhibition Centre site. I believe the site is still available and is probably 3-4 times the size of the land that the Bridge sits on, so there would be no problem building a stadium of whatever size you like there. Can you imagine having a brand new stadium and facilities which blows The Spuds stadium out of the water? Don't know if it would be feasible, but I did read somewhere that a brand new stadium built from scratch would be cheaper than redeveloping Stamford Bridge. Very exciting times ahead whatever happens methinks.

Doesn't matter if Arsenal beat Everton 100-0, they can only get 69 points. We have 70.

I think there's only about a couple of million difference between each finishing position.

Yes, we absolutely must finish above Spuds. 4-0 against Leicester and 10-0 (to break the PL record) against Watford will do nicely!

Still hilarious that Arse have failed to qualify yet again 🤣

Shouldn't be celebrated, I agree, but a huge relief to be fair.

Yes, I read they are getting 10% of the sale price. Crazy money!

Feeling really confident now about next season. If we can get the right players in I reckon we could be making a decent title challenge.

A midfield crisis? That's all we need. Bugger it! https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-team-news-fa-cup-final-mateo-kovacic-b999575.html

We've got a new sleeve partner already. Surprised this has happened before the new owners have properly taken over. Didn't think the government would have allowed it. https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2022/05/12/amber-group-joins-chelsea-as-official-sleeve-partner Here's hoping for more lucrative sponsorships with (fingers crossed) a mega company as the main shirt sponsor which will give us loads of wonga to strengthen the squad which is going to be much needed with so many of our players leaving or not up to it. Keep The Blue Flag Flying High!
