We have won 4 out of their last 22 Premier League games. 

Sacking Potter sure helped eh Owners?

Like sacking TT after spending 250mill for him?

They are just a more stupid Glazer family.

Presumably the owners have decided enough is enough. No more interims. Its time for Todd to manage the team.

It's all in the script, Boehly to lead us to a 3:0 against Real like he promised.

It’s like returning to 1978/79. By a strange quirk we played Everton first game of the season ( though lost 1-0 ) and drew with Spurs at the start of the season too 2-2. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's kind of amusing really.

I think we were all hoping for an owner to come in and show huge interest. Well, to be fair to Boehly, he has, but it's also been our downfall. 

Unfortunately, he's made horrendous erros that have cost us greatly. It would've actually been better if he took a Glazors/Kroenke route (my god I can't believe I'm even saying this) and let someone else take control. Not that I would particularly like that either, American owners seem to have a bad reputation with football clubs. I do admire and like Todds optimism and interest he has in Chelsea, but unfortunately, he's also made us a laughing stock in the process. And this is me completely writing off all the clickbait rumours about him, he's still made some absurd decisions here.

Just shows how important the managerial decision is.

 

Most of the other decisions haven't been bad at all, finally getting in a proper recruitment team with Vivell, going after young stars the way we did in 2012-2014 have all been good choices. Since Vivell came in the signings have been good, with Enzo and Badiashile looking extremely promising.

 

But the 3 managerial decisions have all been awful, sacking Tuchel, hiring Potter and then hiring Lampard has made our 600m of recruitment absolutely worthless.

 

This squad is better than last season's. But we replaced an elite manager with an average manager, and now an utterly incompetent manager. The sooner we bring a top coach in, the sooner we can fix this.

As always with you, I couldn't agree more.

Obviously, an inflated squad doesn't help anyone, but I do seriously think had we got the managerial recruitment correct we wouldn't have ran into this major issue. Sacking Tuchel? Well many of us disagree with that, but whatever, we didn't replace him with someone good enough. Then we take ages to sack Potter only to replace him with someone worse. 

There is clearly elite talent in this team, we just need to shift a lot of the deadwood here in the summer and get a good manager with a plan who knows how to utilise our key players.

Here's the thing, if Boehly didn't get involved, he would have saved all the money on managers pay off, a big proportion of the 300M he spent in January, and we would still be sitting higher on the table than what we are now.

He just don't know anything about European FOOTBAL

IMHO their (Boehly & Co.) major mistake was to appoint a bang average manager that totally sucked the joy out of this club through his non existent tactics, non existent reactions on the sideline, sh*t subs and dull interviews. Can only imagine his training drills as we are in the middle of April and Chelsea can't string 5 passes together and build a coherent attack. 

As for all the players Boehly has brought here, we can't say they are world beaters or dog sh*te because this season has been a trainwreck. sh*te manager, toxic atmosphere, no tactics and a bloated squad. No player in this world, no matter his name, would have had any sort of impact.

I am waiting to see who the next manager is going to be and frankly I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this team fight for trophies next season under a way better manager.

I had a season ticket in 78/79 and it we were mostly awful. But there were still a few games that I remember fondly from that season. For example the amazing comeback against Bolton, an unlikely away win at Maine Rd with Ossie scoring on his brief return to the club, and even a 0-0 draw against eventual champions Liverpool. This season though it is really hard to think of any real games that have been memorable for a good reason. Maybe AC Milan and Dortmund in the Champions League but it has been pretty consistently awful. Even when we were consistently mid-table in the early 90's we would usually manage a win against one of Spurs, Liverpool, United or Arsenal as a highlight.

I wonder what roman is making of all this?

The government would have busted us I reckon if not for these.

This season has been about change. Everything has changed inside the club and sadly it shows on the pitch for the mens team. 

The values inside the club are tested as well. Under Roman it was about winning and being ruthless with that idea. I don't see it at the moment. There is no evidence that winning is the number one thing. 

The core of the first team is also changed over 2 transfer windows. That work is still in progress. 

Our directors are also new to the club. Just getting a hang of things.

Anyway I hope the owners are patient with things. 4th manager in one season has to be a record 🤣

anyway to force them out of the club? We are literally free falling and I wont be surprised we are relegated if these owners are still in charge in the next few years 

We should be singing this to Boehly from all the stands.

 

 

You've got to laugh at the hindsightery from football media, fans etc. I like Mark, but he was raving about Chelsea signings. Saying Boehly is running the club like a circus is a bit mad. People were saying the same about Roman, hiring and firing managers all the time. He fired Ancelotti after what he did for e.g.

How do you know this? He may not have had that much knowledge initially, which is why he hired a new board. I think it's a bit arrogant to think that an American sports franchise owner wouldn't learn about football and the business of football in this country before purchasing the club. These people aren't stupid. Simon Jordan has owned a football club and is a knowledgeable football guy, and he mentioned how Boehly & Co are intelligent people and clued up. Gotta laugh how someone like Carragher speaks as if he himself knows the sport from top to bottom.

I thought the same yesterday, it can’t be good for him at all to see this, all that work and success straight down the pan in less than a year!

We ended up taking it all for granted and he would’ve seen this club out if it wasn’t stolen from him! He loved Chelsea!

Did we ever get any confirmation as to what happened to the money from Roman's sale, or is £2.5 billion still sat in an account somewhere ?
