What an embarressing stat!

The mocking continues, because our clowns on the pitch continue making complete twats of themselves before a ball is kicked.

Worst thing is that the directors and SD’s genuinely believe that they are building a world class team. They have no idea that we’re so far away.

The way the club is right now it is deserved.

I used to work with a bunch of Blue Noses (Everton fans) about 25 years ago. They tend to be a pretty funny humored bunch until they get the mocking.

I think the few decent players we have are quickly running out of patience with the project. If you are trying to build a great team you need your best players to form the foundation. When they start handing in transfer requests the project will really start to go off the rails.

Absolute frauds this hierarchy.

The solution has been very simple. Buy experienced players. A competent keeper and defenders. Buy midfield and attacking players that want the ball and only thought is to pass the ball forward and want to score goals. I fear we have ran out of transfer money to rectify this situation.

Sick of seeing slow build up play between the backline and keeper.

I didnt watch the game but after reading the match thread at 1-0 down I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Literally turned on the game and 10 seconds later we give the ball away and they score.

I've never switched on a Chelsea game and turned it off so fast.

I don't believe they do now. I think the SDs know they are winging it now but somehow know how to hide from any blame since they are not in the public eye. What they have done is a stackable offence in any normal profession.

The thing that’s confusing me the most is the caricature of these Septic Investment types is that they’re cut throat and ruthless right?

So how the f**k haven’t they pulled the plug on these absolute imbeciles of Sporting Directors we’ve been lumbered with?

Wouldn’t Winstanley, Stewart and Joe f**king Sheilds have been kicked to the kerb the second we missed out on CL the first time around. Shouldn’t Rosenior have been given his marching orders when PSG scored their 1st on Tuesday?

Why are they suddenly being patient at the worst possible time?!

Probably because the SDs are doing exactly what the owners are asking them to do.

"We want you to sign 50 young players for fees at least double what they are actually worth, and then pay them 4 or 5 times what they were earning at their previous club. You'll get a bonus if it's a player that nobody has ever heard of. And then we want you to find us an inexperienced nobody to coach them, so that they don't improve and their value drops even further. And don't worry, your job is safe. When the media twig that the players are hopeless we'll simply ask you to find us a new coach, preferably one with less experience than the previous guy, so we can pay him less ! Oh and we want you to sell at least a third of the squad every year too !"

Exactly this, why are people acting like the owners are taking us and losing themselves billions? I get that it's difficult to accept that the owners have allowed our board to be overrun by idiots but that's the reality. They all need to be gone; Egbhali, shields, Stewart, Winstanley, Finkletwat etc. Get them all gone and bring some people in that will actually start making some intelligent decisions. Can't believe how poorly we're being ran it's absolute madness, why the hell would top players and managers be interested in coming here right now? Players want to be coached by the best in the world, not LinkedIn's finest.

Apparently Millie Bright is refusing to sign a new contract as she believes the owners have ruined the women’s team and wants out

They've done their work on the men's team. Now they have started taking the axe to the women's team too. Talk about scuttling your own ship.

I think for a couple of reasons. Firstly if they get rid of the SD's they will have to admit that their own decision to hire these clowns ended in failure. Secondly, I think they have no idea who they would then go to on the football side to replace said clowns. Since taking over they have removed every person from the club who had any football knowledge (from the academy up), and with their arrogant attitudes probably alienated potential resources that they could have gone to for advice.

Apparently Sam Kerr is off too.

Despite very limited starts this season, she's still our top scorer LOL, and I imagine that is so embarrassing to those that made the decision to limit her minutes that they've now doubled down by opting to get rid of her completely 🤠

First time we have lost 4 in a row since 1993 apparently.

Bah, that's in all competitions so it's child's play.

Wait until we lose to the 2 Manchesters, then it's 4 in a row in the Prem! Now THAT is a record worse writing about!

They carried on spending and even exceeded Roman's level of outlay.within a couple of seasons.. But managed to achieve the complete opposite outcome to the one that Roman's spending achieved. . .... AND unlike Roman they had the benefit of buying a long established elite football club. How they managed to f**k everything up within months is a f**king disgrace

"Chelsea's squad at the end of the 2024 financial year was the costliest ever assembled, according to a new UEFA report.

The big-spending Blues' squad was worth an astonishing €1.66bn (£1.39bn), eclipsing the previous highest recorded by Real Madrid in 2020 (£1.12bn).

We know that's exactly the truth.

When we beat Forest last season to get CL football, they said that the work of the SD'S was vindicated.

When we then went on to win the CWC , the SD's were rewarded with 6 year extended contracts .. Our useless transfer policy was decided by the owners and is being implemented to the letter by the SD's .

The CWC win was going to start a stampede of potential shirt sponsors eager to pay fortunes to get their name on the front of our champions of the world football shirts wasn't it ?

I know some of you don't like these 2. However if you want to know exactly how bluecois structured and why they CAN SELL the club and don't have to wait 10 years to do so set that aside and watch this video:

Younes is fine. It’s that Minerals bloke that’s disingenuous.

Yea, seen it. Still. Highly unlikely. Was interesting to see how they separated assets, and the whole loophole thing was just for their ultimate benefit, rather than purely something to help the football club itself. Try not to get too sucked into all this, just had it on in the background really. Trying to ease off the particulars and details of the mess, as it’s just infuriating. Strapped in, and prepared for a banter era for quite some time.
