Anyway my mate sh*tty Phil reckons the ownership are that vain that they are terrified of the wide (and accurate) reporting of their imbecility that will come after yet another abject failure of a season. To counter this they're leaking 'this is all part of a galaxy brain strategy' propaganda to gullible, shameless internet nerds who will parrot anything you tell them. And he knows a thing or two about leaks, he was once beaten up by the King's Guard for taking a drunken piss on the Buckingham Palace gates.

....never has a word fitted so well with Boehly and Co.

“Entitlement”

So either we accept we won’t win anything, only for neutrals to make fun of the fact we spent £1.5bn.

Or we criticize the fact we spent £1.5bn and haven’t won anything, only for neutrals to call us entitled.

TalkSport for you.

Our great amortisation wheeze is now counted as a cost of over £200 million a year. (2023). That money is deducted as a cost from our income each year before we've even spent a penny.

graph shows total amortisation cost for the financial year and relates to all the players in the squad who have been signed for transfer fees. It counts as a cost on Premier League profit and sustainability (PSR) accounts.

It would be a strange world if football fans showed any sympathy and understanding for any club on our position. .. hopefully another top club will be instantly destroyed by new owners and then I'll be first in the queue giving em pelters !😂

It's funny seeing the club leaking things like this on social media in the hopes of controlling the narrative and appeasing the fans. I think they're feeling some pressure.

"..charge up the league.."

Yeah that account has always been suss.

PR machine still in full swing

Where would we be without these two seasoned professionals? They are a credit to their profession, i just hope we can learn from them, they have truly created a centre of excellence, we are lucky to have them at the club.

now where did i put my medication?😷

This, if anything makes things worse. If ever there was a statement that they haven't got things right! Our women's team quite rightly are afforded a champions league winning coach, coupled with world class signings who between them have played in excess of 120 internationals. Whilst the men are given a novice coach and a bunch of kids that may or may not turn into stars in 5 years time.

Maybe they should run both teams the same. I guess they don't realize that bragging on the women's side just highlights their total failure with the men's team.

The womens team are not subject to FFP and PSR.

Feel a bit for Boehly, he's getting the majority of the stick at the protest today when he's a minority shareholder, the anger should be directed at Clearlake and Eghbali

Have you seen any videos of Todd's model he had planned for the club OR anything about being a chairman on Vivid Seats selling highly inflated tickets?

The model is working guys. Maresca is the next Pep. "We've got our Chelsea back".

That's like saying they need credit for identifying prime Pep Guardiola, Claude Makelele and Thiago Silva as good signings.

It's hard to describe how lucky a hand they are dealt. Firstly, Bompastor doesn't come anywhere near this club without the hard work of Emma Hayes who built the womens' team into the second-best side in the game by beating Bompastor's Lyon, making it a sideways step at most. Hayes gave the opportunity to Tweedledee and Tweedledum on a silver platter.

Then the Walsh signing- the best team in womens' football (Barcelona) are broke, in the same year the best DM in womens' football happened to be in the last year of her contract, and our direct rival (Arsenal) decided they are no longer going to invest in their women's team - they had a similar bid for Walsh rejected in the summer.

Girma is the best defender in the NWSL. A statement signing for sure, but let's not pretend that some clever analysis was needed to identify her talent.

I feel like I am more in tune with the directors of the club than the fans. That is why I don't feel like writing here that much.

This 'bring Roman back' march didn't help.

I just feel we won the lottery with Roman and now fans expect the lottery just keeps giving the numbers.

I understand the frustration and not winning but Roman is not coming back and the club is trying to do something else. Lack of patience is something I couldn't even predict.

Why on earth would you even want them to do as Roman did? We weren't the powerhouse of football last 10 years of Roman. We were expensive top tier club with no apparent plan. Rinse and repeat on expensive sheets.

This plan they are implementing could go all wrong. I don't say that. But it could also be a start of something great. I see what they are trying to do (I think) and I feel it is a good avenue.

I am also very disappointed with Mikel and Joey Cole. They also seem to want what they had. This is the same type of future we are heading towards than Manchester United. Keep on listening old players and try to replicate everything that happened in the Glory days. Focus on the plan.

What fans need to do is Caicedo feels welcome and Filip feels appreciated. So they can perform at the peak of their talents. We don't need to load extra pressure on them.

The competition in the Prem is so fierce you cannot predict how it goes. We can't buy the titles anymore. Those days are gone.

We spent £220m on two midfielders mate, i don't think FFP is an issue for the men's team if we spend it wisely.

£1.5billion.

By all accounts a good turn out for the protest. Well done for all who turned up, and for those who could turn up but could not bothered to give up a pre match pint or you are still deluded about, or in the pocket of, this ownership, shame on you.

PR out in full force from the ownership now, don't listen to it or the name calling from their fools in the media and talk sh*t.

Come on Ax, we're up to 4th, I've had to admit to myself that I was completely wrong about the owners...they are fantastic, the plan is working, we've got our Chelsea back . Why do you believe there's something wrong ?

😂

What is the plan ?

shareholder profits

shareholder profits

Spot On 👍

I think the plan is fine - buy young players then eventually sell them on for good/ very good profit.

I also think it is normal for shareholders to want to make (large) profits.

The problem for supporters is when they buy duds or overpay for players we end up with an unbalanced squad, with relatively poor team performance. Also the manager will eventually get sacked.

The shareholders meanwhile have to make do with smallish profit as a consequence.

IF however the buying of players was better in terms of quality and value then the team/squad would fair better and the shareholders would have the opportunity to earn large profits, due to player value increasing rather than stagnating at best.

Boehly and Co. putting in 1,5 billion on players is great from where im sitting.

The selection by the SD's is dreadful and will be costing the shareholders dearly.

I support the plan and the owners and the manager who is in the job, but i desperately want to see a better calibre of Sporting director.

Im aware that if we sell all our Cole Palmers we will never get to the top as a club but i believe our shareholders/owners are ( hopefully ) too greedy to cash in quickly on every gem but will hold on for a huge price. This can be seen by Palmers price being set at 150 - 160 million.

Blue Co. appear to be continuing to put in plenty to the transfer kitty, only FFP PSR will slow them. just wish it was spent more wisely

BLUE Co. IN SD's OUT. please.

Protesting to get the shareholders/Owners out is a strange one for me - who would leave if they were making potentially good profits? I wouldnt if i were an investor.
