Well said, Simon Jordan.

The comparisons to City have to stop.

 

I really don't understand why some of our own fans are worried about us being caught in some financial scandal. 

Last year Chelsea FC just had the British govt combed through our finances to find any leads that could connect us to Putin. The Todd and Co. also looked over the books upon purchasing the club. 

If we had any wrongdoing, it would have popped up then. We have already served all punishment for any mistake the Roman management had made.

Nice to see the culture they are building behind the scenes. 

The best money he can spend right now, is to get rid of this manager and bring in someone competent.

Not easy is it though?

In the last ten years, Benitez, Mourinho, Conte, Sarri, Tuchel and now Potter all turned out to be incompetent. Running out of names to hire.

Feel for Todd. Man has moved mountains and damn near the Earth to fast forward our squad building and Potter can't outcoach Moyes who came with the most simplest of football tactic 

Boehly seems to have accepted he made a mistake with some of the player signings in August, so hopefully it is not too much of a leap now to realise he missed the mark with his manager appointment ...

Pretty much the same at most clubs to be fair though. Man City and Liverpool are currently outliers. After that Thomas Frank longest serving but they have just come up. The it's Rogers at Leicester at and a bit years. How many have they had 8n recent years as well. It's football nowadays.

Benitez wasn't sacked, he just wasn't hired on a permanent deal because it was a toxic fit.

Mourinho had his meltdown like he does at every club, same as Conte, but they are miles ahead of Potter. Their achievements back that up.

Sarri wasn't sacked, he left for Juventus.

Tuchel wasn't incompent, he should still be Chelsea manager right now.

I would've given Tuchel until the world cup but the issue with Tuchel was always how effective and cooperative he'd be with the new directors/recruitment team. 

Clearly Tuchel want's ready made players vs developing young ones. @Argo made a good point on how Tuchel would've reacted when we brought in Badiashile and Enzo. Two young players with hardly any experience.

He's not the only Chelsea manager who couldn't get the better of Moyes you know.

We weren't very good whilst he was in charge this season.

But he left us with a great legacy.

CL trophy and Lukaku!😁😁

Rumors of a whistleblower. 

Also rumors City being relegated is a genuine and probable consideration.

And Liverpool being awarded the titles that Citeh won ?

Every signing he made was a dud and we were just as poor in the league back end of last season and start of this. 

Thanks for the CL but him leaving was ultimately the right choice.

Potter's got Mount looking like a poor mans Andreas Pereira. How about we wait with judging our players until they are used in a functioning system.

We had the exact same problem with Tuchel, Mount's been like this for about a year now.

Thats just a load of crap. He didn't win POTS because he was this bad for a whole year.

At no point was he ever this poor under Tuchel over any extended period of time. Not even close.

Yes he was, back end of last season and start of this season under Tuchel.

I'm the first person to back Mount on here but even i can admit that.

Did two minutes worth of research in the Mount thread and it seems you were perfectly happy with his performances in March, April and May of last year. Certainly no words on him being extremely poor.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it. I still back him now, but can admit he isn't what he was. What was everyone else saying back then?

Perhaps you were away on holiday without access to the internet when Mount scored 4 goals in April last season ?

How was he playing in the months prior to that too? Can't believe me of all people am being questioned on backing Mount.

Mount had his best ever season last season. Not sure why anyone would try and argue against that ? 

I think there are at least four significant impacts probably affecting his performance in 22/23. (1) Missing the shoot out penalty that ultimately led to us losing the FA Cup (2) splitting up with his girlfriend of 5 years last October, and the follow-on social distraction of looking for a new partner (3) Graham Potter not playing him in the same way that Thomas Tuchel did, due to implementing a different system, which takes away some of his strengths (leading the press in a 3-4-2-1 for example). (4) The uncertainty of his contract situation.

He's not the same player for sure. Let's all hope he can get it back on track, and preferably with us !

Looking back on last season he season just at the stats i would agree, but his performances did drop off towards the end of the season and wasn't having the same overall impact on games he was the season before and at the start of last season. I think he had these same poor performances under Tuchel as he is under Potter currently. 

Its clear that he's Chelsea quality though as he's proved time and time again, that's why you have to laugh at half the numpties on here and other social media sites that say he's sh*t.
