What if Chelsea get relegated?

I'm no wordsmith but I don't understand what you have written there

 

What is there to understand? We should be selling ALL our players in Jan so that we have enough money for "cool" new players. 

 

Makes perfect sense if you ask me.

About as much sense as one who wishes to augment the well worn trope that Chelsea is only successful as a result of Abramovich's wealth via a suitably acerbic forum moniker.

Man my sarcasm went way over your head.

This is basically what I expect to happen every season, so football at least makes some sort of sense to me now.

Some horrible rain that day but we still out sung the mancs

Pity it did not drown the ref, we moan about todays refs but he was diabolical, Thomas, if I remember his name correct.

 

Why do tossers like you even bother signing up to this website ?

No need for that guessing English is not his 1st language.

We should sell all the players in Jan. becouse then we will have moneys for cool players then.  LOL :laugh2:

No mate David ellarey

Yep, I rewatched the season recently, it wasn't looking good for some time, but we turned it around near the end, Stein is an unsung hero.

We had such a short team that year! Stein, Wise, Izzet, Spencer! [emoji23]

I thought it was pretty obvious DampSquib was taking the piss out of the TC.

 

If the worst does happen (not that I'm expecting it to), I think we'd be surprised at the level (and perhaps quantity) of the players who would stay behind. They are, after all, on amazing salaries and in all likelihood immediately return to the top flight. It would also allow some of our fringe players to stake a solid claim to the first team.

 

If you don't believe me just look at Juventus' squad after they were relegated in 2006 following Calciopoli. They of course made some losses (Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Ibrahimovic, Mutu, Thuram, as well as Capello, all left), but they still managed to retain Buffon, Nedved, Trezeguet, del Piero, Chiellini and Camoranesi, most of whom were world class or fairly close to it. While we would clearly lose a fair amount of talent, it wouldn't necessarily lead to the wholesale gutting of the club.

Weed out plastic fans and I probably see more young players from academy in the first team.

Win/win!

Well, I can see some downsides...

Plus those 'plastic fans' will be back as soon as we're any good again

The 'play-the-youth' band will get their dream of seeing the likes of Bamford and Ola Aina play week in and week out for the first team.

Are you having a dig and fans that believe we have a very good youth academy and we should use it ?

The likes of Brown, Loftus Cheek, Bamford, Kiwomya, Baker, Feruz, Kalas, Nathan, Kennedy, Piazon, Solanke, Swift, Ake, Chalobah, Wallace, Boga, Christensen. Will play. The Dutch team Vitesse won't get raided with loan players from Chelsea. But saying this it'll be annoying and sad because, Kalas, Bamford, Ake, Piazon are good enough to play in the premier league. And Wallace. But Chelsea has enough money to buy the league.

If somebody offered me the success we have experienced in the last decade in exchange for a season in the Championship I would have bit their hand off.

 

Sport is all about Ups & Downs and truth be told even in the championship we will have an equal chance of winning the Champions league as Arsenal. 

I have been a Chelsea fan since 1997 and I always seen Chelsea playing in the Premier League, so for me it would be devastating. I don't think with the players we have this should be an option, but anything can happen. I can't change teams so I will continue to support them if the worst case scenario did happen. I don't believe this will happen this season, but we really need to start getting results fast.

Where have I heard that before :biggrin:

Believe he means, instead of playing our talented young guys who have won countless FA youth troyphies & European, the managers

just go out spend/waste millions buying the next supposed super star.

 

He is right as well.

Impossible claim.
