This modern football fan habit of automatically blaming the owners/board for sh*t performances on the pitch is embarrassing.

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. 

 

 

It’s getting worse. There are idiots shouting at journalists in the ground. 
I admire Lampard for taking this job on, not an easy task when players have lost their confidence and I can see a few passengers out there at the moment.

Well seems like they had a small taste of the fan discontent yesterday, what will they make of it of the Bridge becomes completely toxic?

Can’t see us winning a game.

 Apparently the New Zealand motivator guy knows a good hypnotist. get him/her on the loudspeaker and everyone will be cheering for Todd within minutes

Probably just waiting for James Cordens approval.

Corden will be the assistant in the dugout.

We're the worst of the non-relegation battling teams and now even palace is catching up. We need to desperately get those 3-4 points necessary to ensure survival.

No chance we will go down, even if we lose all our remaining games.

Southampton, Leicester, Forest and Everton only have 7 games left each. The sort of form they'd all need to even get to 39 points is top six form for Forest and Everton (12 points from 7 games is 1.71 points per game, which extrapolates to a 65 point season), and top four/title-chasing form for Saints and Leicester (16 from 7 for Saints = 87 point season ; 14 from 7 for Leicester is 76 point season). 

Not going to happen.

The thumbnail says it all this guy is just looking for clicks. Even makes it more funny that a lot of these so-called Chelsea YouTubers were all praising Boehly just a few months ago in the transfer window. They'll jump on the bandwagon again for more clicks when the new manager is announced and we buy more players in the summer.

Let's hope so. I thank Tommy T for the 10 points in our first 6 games. Otherwise we would be relegated.

Also Potter, for his first three games, which were all wins.

Since then, we've been dreadful - relegation candidate form for sure :

We have a say in the title race just about every season, so I'm expecting we take a point ( if not 3) against 1 of the title contenders. Whatever happens between now and end of the season, let Frank ride it out ( or sink together), sack 3 managers ( not counting Bruno) will turn most of the legit candidates away

Todd Bohley will destroy our club in 5 years let alone 10

we really should start to call them out and force them to sell

They cannot sell for 10 years, the only way is if we go bust. then we start off, if lucky in the second division, probably at non league level. Do you really want that. They have to make it work. Eventually if not already the realisation will hit, that they are clueless, and MUST leave the running to somebody competent.

We could be in deep twubble 

I was just watching this "high performance" podcast show with a coach with Brentford. At the timestamp (15mins) i've bookmarked, he talks about coming into Brentford and trying to change too much too fast and how it wasn't the optimal way to go about things.

I feel like this is a good analogy with what's happened at Chelsea were Boehly and co came in and tried to change things too quickly. Too much staff turnover, too many new signings, too big and sudden of a shift in overall strategy (that whole low wages/long contract thing).
 

 

Boehly telling the players they should feel embarrassed lol pot calling kettle black. 

Out of pure curiosity: is Todd Boehly safe? I mean not all of the money spent is actually his.

Could Clearlake or whatever they're called somehow decide to tell him to f**k off from your club?

Boehly is behaving like someone who is not only desperate to save his reputation, but also his job.

I saw this on the BBC live feed:

'Chelsea are a laughing stock'

Chelsea v Real Madrid (Tue, 20:00 BST)

The Telegraph's Luke Edwards believes Chelsea's "ridiculous" lack of strategy means things could get worse at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues suffered their third defeat in nine days under interim manager Frank Lampard on Saturday with a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast Edwards said: "They are a laughing stock. They are the punchline to a hundred different jokes now.

"You've got a manager who's been there nine days and lost three games - very very fortunate to be given that chance again. Frank Lampard's managerial career is underwhelming by all accounts, and somebody needs to say that. However, this isn't Lampard's fault. He's gone into a mess, he's gone in to try and clear up somebody else's mess. We are talking about a football club that spent £600m with no coherent strategy.

"They are ridiculous in what they have done, they've recruited without a strategy, without a plan, they've just gone out and bought a load of players because other clubs wanted them.

"They've got clueless owners. They have not gone backwards, they've gone into freefall. They are an example of what happens when people new to football come in and think they are experts and have loads of money.

"What I would be worried about with Chelsea is it could get worse. I think the summers going to be a problem for them with Financial Fair Play, they've got a bloated squad. There are a lot of other clubs who know they're going to be desperate to sell. They've created an unhappy working environment where you've got players who know they aren't playing. If the results dip you blame the manager so there's an excuse culture in the dressing room with the players.

"There is no strategy, there is no plan."

 

Very hard to argue with any of that.

 

I'm sure Boehly going into the dressing room, had less impression on the players, than when Roman did it!

Boehly apparently singled out Sterling during the meeting.

This is exactly the point I made already they made way too many changes too quickly, it should have been a 12-18 months of transition to slowly handover task, relationships that were build to the new people Todd and co want to take over. You can’t gut the operational team the back room staff the coaching the staff and bring in all new people and expect performance to continue.

It’s the dumbest sh*te I seen from a so call investment group that wants to succeed. Their arrogance will cost them millions.
