Pretty sure we can also guess which other club contributed ~£300m revenue to their books to make said profit.

Truly pathetic effort by our owners… We’ve wasted 4 years ( and I know Chelsea comes with its own unique hurdles to overcome) but you’d think a PE firm with their “depth of pockets” should’ve been able to drum up the money to buy a few blocks of houses / relocate the pensioners / anyone else they need to and pay for a new better facility for those folks. (I’m fully on the must renovate in place train) Maybe I’m naive, but I’ve read most articles out there about the various failings to get a new stadium built for chels and while it seems that the government and residents and CPO are all in various ways out to nuke the project, I remain shocked that all parties can’t see that being a top 5 club with middle 10 revenues due to small capacity, doesn’t bode well for the future… Meanwhile, you look north and… we could’ve had Radcliffe as owner instead of these lot and we’d likely be better off… guy gets things done, despite any personal views on him. Sky SportsMan Utd secure land to build new 100,000 seater stadium a...Man Utd have secured the majority of the land required to build the largest stadium in the UK; New Trafford will have 100,000 seats and will take five years to construct; the new facility will be 350m

Home kit looks like blueco partnered with Wimbledon on a tennis themed kit, but once again forgot to get the $$$ for FOS… At this point, let’s have “3” back as a sponsor… would pay for 2/3 of another gittens!!!

So what? We have the biggest of all time transfer spend…

Only major thing to note in that is that winstanley and Stewart have each sacked four junior analysts apiece from their respective staffs (for poor performance reflecting on the boss.)

Most of the mainstream media types who cover Chelsea are bought and paid for by the club (in access mostly, maybe brown envelopes??) It will take a seismic focus by all people online, streamers, podcasters, people here, etc. To put the blame on them where it belongs.

Wha a tremendous thread to read back through… how naive 4 years ago seems. lukaku Bogarde Gittens Garnacho Veron / Sutton / drinkwater tied

I feel like the biggest things being overlooked in order are: It is very well sourced rumoured that the SDs have input on squad selection / requested subs Medical staff have input on squad selection even over the manager No CL football means really aspiring managers will refuse project if it doesn’t include this I believe this combination basically rules out anyone with a credible reputation because who in the f**k would ever want to work as basically an order taker in a machine (dysfunctional one at that) So I expect someone else who looks at the payday rosenoir and potter got for failing and figure f**k it, I’ll bank 6m at the end of this, spend some time with the wife and start again in a few years.

The old saying is don’t sh*t where you eat but based off his performancE…At this point, let Joe shields go eat where he sh*ts… and he can see out the season as “coach”

I wish I could say that this will be a turning point… but sadly, don’t see it improving anytime soon. We may never score again

I’ve probably posted similar to this before, but as someone who has worked both as a higher level executive pre PE takeover and then done my stint under PE. I can promise you this lot is a bunch of tards. They cannot see the forest for the trees: and these (structurally) are things they will be keeping themselves busy with, and APPARENTLY rewarding themselves for Weekly meetings on season ticket renewals, match day gate, concession revenue, attended by egbahli/boehly (should be way below their pay grade) Massive spend on consultants, in the world they play in for the revaluation of Chelsea, something most are overlooking is that PE purchases businesses on EBITDA margin / EBITDA revenues (meaning they don’t care about short term losses). while they have to adhere by PSR, FFP, etc. Ultimately this group ain’t fussed, because they have the levers necessary to ensure the EBITDA margin looks extremely positive when they resell, especially when they factor in TV revenue from a new deal and (doubtful) new stadium. The results don’t actually matter.* think of what these assholes are doing as a Bond villain sitting in a room with a bunch for dials and levers, except, the better they are doing, financially more levers are available to them, but do not get it twisted, they can still pull all the levers they want up to us facing relegation. Long winded way to say: f**k it, I don’t care if we get relegated next year as long as we get out from under this nightmare and have a club to be proud of. all the above fueled by whiskey

I don't post often, mostly just lurk around and be entertained by you lot. These videos while very doom and gloom... are the first sign of positivity since the start of Clearlake. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Biggest issue is that this structure basically equates to Chelsea being a rental car. and in the world of football Clearlake is a new driver, there is no way that these guys should've ever been given the keys to the car, especially a luxury car like what chelsea is in the grand scheme of world football vs. rental cars. Now, they only have a ten year rental on our club (knowing how PE works, they will maybe be able to stretch that to 20 if they are making solid return at the time the fund needs to be wrapped up / transferred to a new internal fund) But in rental car years this is like giving a 21 year old kid fresh out of school a f**king ferrari to go galavanting around europe for a month and expecting it to come back in driveable condition. The nice thing about this current situation is that Clearklake is driving the car so badly that their parents (investors in the fund) are probably gonna start getting pissed and might tell them to get the F home (sell to elsewhere). sorry for incoherence but hope its at least entertaining

How f**king trash are his assistants that they didn’t at least try to talk him out of the Neto - tosin sub? f**ked in the head

Boos should’ve been louder. Why are they still not playing direct? You’re down 2 f**king goals. Shouldn’t be another back pass all match.

Maraca ball is terribly boring. Recorded the match and started watching back through this evening… ended up watching first half on 1.5 speed. My god, I would take the chaos of Lampard at this point. Survive and advance I guess, and then dream would be offering ancelloti the moon (and probably a star or two) to come back. (Like 200m)

I really thought that this whole Maresca is tactically stubborn thing was a Leicester thing and that he had changed for us... appears not. I don't think its entirely on him though, there is a lot of meddling from the SDs and I think this falls more on them. However, Palmer needs to get moved to the right for sure, otherwise, the biggest gripe with Maresca is that in the media he is constantly talking about how mediocrity is ok and that we are ok being 6th and that a top 4 challenge isn't in the cards... why the f**k don't we have a front of shirt sponsor then? the whole idea was better deals when we secure champions league... but apparently that isn't the goal???

Finally got around to watching the game today, Man oh man did we look good after that horrid start. For all the doubt we had going into this year this team looks really well gelled together right now. Doesn't feel like they've gone through a ton of adversity yet, but im coming around to the thought that maybe maresca is able to minimize the adversity somewhat?? Need pool to f**k up a couple here over the holidays though. But our course back to relevancy is looking decent

Fantastic win given we started a b team plus a couple.

Thought we did just enough. Gusto should've scored, but whatever, those things happen. Madueke seems to still be staying in the first team based off that hat-trick because he has looked mostly miserable the past few games. He did swing in a real nice cross / pass to fofana though, will give him that. Eventually, we need to get points against a top 4 side, although im pretty sure we can get CL spot even if we draw all games against other top 5-6 and then just win the easy matches. Oh and f**k kai havertz.

Matt law is a known Clearlake shill. Can go f**k his hat in the rain for all I care. chelsea echo is a better podcast if you must listen to one.

Just boot the thing forward with more talented players and entertain us… not hard concept

Finally watched. my god is our style of football awful to watch… yes winning is nice but the progress the ball to edge of the box then pass it back 15 times before repeating is just terrible. my wife watched as much as she could (still plays women’s league) first comment was how it looks like we’re just doing passing drills all game. glad we won, and sometimes nice to have a boring day at the office

He was immensely important in athleticos game yesterday. Named MOTM too… if his name was cónor galgáron and from Spain we would’ve paid £125m for him this past summer…

Chelsea refuses to speak out against Taylor. Not sure why

Hahaha Joao Feliz yellow pretty funny actually
