The Mbappe one is possibly the most ridiculous one I have seen so far. Even if he was available, why would he join us? As toxic as he is, literally every club in world football would take him because he can score a sh*t load of goals.

But wasn't his relationship with Alonso one of the factors that gave rise to Alonso leaving Real. Its the most non sensical made up bullsh*t mockery wind up.

So with no European football next season - and that may be a good thing and allow Alonso to build a team with fewer distractions - and the loss of revenues and sponsorships it will be interesting to see if the owners have the temerity to increase season ticket prices and raise prices elsewhere e.g. in the club shop and bars in the stadium.

I suspect season tickets will increase in price and the owners will say that is due to circumstances and we all know why. I reckon changes will also be made to concessionary rates i.e. you will have to be 67 and not 66 as it is at the moment. Also if people give up their season tickets I don't think that those given up will be offered to members on a waiting list. Instead tickets will be offered on a match to match basis. That would be good if they were offered to members but it would not surprise me if they were given to Vivid seats and other ticket/tourist agencies.

I'm not even wondering about this.

17 points worse off vs last season.

Does this fam video show Enzo and cucu waving goodbye to the fans?

Waited too long to sack Maresca and then appointing Rosenior ‘cos it was the ‘easy’ option.

Another wasted season under these buffoons.

We go into next season though, for the first time since TT, with an actual manager and no midweek distractions.

With still the same 5 directors who overpay on average players and pump fake anyone relatively good.

I just can’t buy that a Manager with the esteem of Xabi Alonso would agree to join without SOME assurances.

We were shopping in the bargain bin and managed to snag the top shelf, that doesn’t happen without something going on behind the scenes.

I might be being too positive but an announcement over the summer of a reshuffle that restricts the muppets whilst keeping face seems inevitable. Otherwise why would he take the job?

A promotion for S&W to co-directors of shirt sponsor relations would seem on face value to be a good option for limiting the damage they can inflict in us ... 😃

Speaking of them. As they were all handed about 60% pay increases following the summer trophy win how much do we think they get for this season?

And will the owners/club directors have to settle for less than an 80% increase or is that a yearly standard?

That was a proper Blue Co. season - all their people, all their strategy, no hangover from the previous ownership. Very few old players from the previous regime. Just pure Blue Co. and it was very very poor. It was hideous.

No European football with almost half the other premier league teams qualifying for one competition or another.

Sunderland Brighton Bournmouth and Brentford are ahead of us.

Hard to believe with the huge army of highly talented Sporting directors. Maybe they need a few more.

But there's more..... we can now see the Sporting directors excel in the transfer market. Trading players left right and centre bringing in the money by the wheelbarrow.

Great job Blue Co. thank you for everything. Weve had the time of our lives, can't wait for next season.

Unless whoever wants him pay the massive fee we pay for him he is not going anywhere.

Long contract means they can stay another season without issues.

Since the first leg loss in Paris we have gone on a run of league form which had:

1 Win

1 draw

7 losses.

If you want to add the CL and Fa cup you can add another 2 wins and 2 losses.

Reece James, Levi Colwill, Josh Acheampong, Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro.

If any of you read up on this forum please round up the squad and, on mass, hand in transfer requests.

Your careers go nowhere here. So unless the pay packet is all you career for please do the right thing, demand to leave and maybe then we can get what we need.

And what we, and Chelsea FC need is BLUECO OUT!

The ladder split into two.

1. Arsenal = 45 (+25)

Finishing behind a newly promoted side in Sunderland. Finishing behind Bournemouth who sold almost their entire 1st team backline last season (our former keeper who apparently isn't good enough is playing for them too) Finishing behind Brentford who sold their best two players. It's inexcusable for our players to fall off like they did when teams that finished ahead of them had to adapt to a new league or adapt to losing their best players.

Our players never worked for anything this season, they're the laziest group of players in the league. Any time it got tough, they all went hiding. Any time the situation demanded they step up their game, they stopped running. Maresca left and instead of trying to grow up and guide the team themselves like many Chelsea teams have done in the past, they just shat themselves and gave up. Horrible squad, the worst Chelsea team in my lifetime.

If we could have a new ownership that actually cared about football to rebuild us I'd happily see evey single one of this squad sold.

If blueco do that we just get a squad of delaps, fofanas and garnachos though.

This is so tiring coming on here abusing the owners and the directors.. doesn’t make a difference.. the corrupt UK govt wanted a poster child to make an example off — all This while buying gas from Russia talk about double standards - Chelsea were soft targets.

We ended up getting in vultures in the club who have ruined us- running without sponsors no new stadium why isn’t the govt holding them accountable now- this is their creation. Freeze their assets ask them to sell at a loss for now doing what they promised .

But they recruited him, didn't they. If it had been left up to the greasy American twat we'd have ended up with Fernando Alonso in charge.

We had Poch, a seasoned Prem manager with no midweek distractions and couldn't even get Europa League. I'm not holding my breath.

Only BURNLEY got fewer points than us in the last 9 games !!!

Yep. The question is by how much season ticket prices will increase. Last season the increase for non-concessionary ST was just under 8.5%. Chances are the increase will be the same but I would not be surprised if it is more and a large increase on top of changes to when old gits like me can apply for concessionary rates and the sh*te performances may put off people renewing ST which is just what the board wants.

To use that wonderful Anglo-Saxon expression we're f**ked!
