Agreed. Easily one of the more reasoned voices out there. Though that doesn't necessarily translate to doing great things for us, but as I've said before - I've liked some things, disliked some things. Keen to see where we land.

It explains a lot if you genuinely think hes a reasoned voice 😅

Simon Jordan is and always has been an execrable moron with about as much credibility as his namesake Katie Price. And he clearly goes to the same hair replacement specialist as Klopp.

Hes an imbecile who pontificates on things he believes he has great knowledge on, he uses "big words" so must be really clever......when in reality hes a blow hard imbecile who thinks he "triggers" people with his incredible independent thinking.

Basically hes a c**t.

You're right, you summed him up in a nutshell and only needed a single short word.

It's a poor reflection on the current world that I didn't immediately know which one you were referring to

Hearn told Jordan: "You are the king of hypocrisy, you talk like you are some kind of business expert. We know how that went for you..."

Jordan hit back: "No, no. In order to lose a lot of money, you have to make it in the first place.". 😂😂😂

"It's a marathon not a sprint, mate. You went skint," Hearn said in reply.

Likewise the opposite. Although I don't need an explanation as I'm well aware of the state of purveyorship on this forum...

Truly shakespearean.

You can't pontificate on things you don't believe you have great knowledge on.

A big vocabulary is a marker and strong predictor for intelligence.

Oh how wrong the blow-hard imbecile c*nt must be in thinking he triggers people...

Did I say big vocabulary? Another indicator for intelligence is being able to read.

Tonight summed up Clearlake's approach. Our biggest game of the season so far and numerous key players are not available because they don't want to risk their assets.

The let is be known in the media they did not care about this game. Don't matter the rivalry we used to have with Arsenal, chances to win a trophy etc.

No money in it so they don't care.

WLD BlueCo out.

100%. With these owners I am left pining for Ken Bates let alone Roman.

I really hate the approach currently but clearlake contractually can not sell for 10 years right? So we are in this sh*te for the long haul until 2032... only hope is they change tack but doubtful.

2019...

Mourinho on Chelsea: "When you start accepting defeats just because your team played well and just because your players gave their best, a performance for people to be proud of… I think when you get used to it, that’s when the big clubs stop being big clubs."

This is open for much debate. Where is there any evidence that this is the case.

There are no fewer than five sporting directors. Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, contracted to 2031, make the big decisions and are going nowhere.

Ex-Liverpool recruiter Dave Fallows, who convinced them to sign Mohamed Salah, joined in November with a wide-ranging football development remit, and he works “closely” with sporting director for scouting and talent, Joe Shields, and sporting director for global recruiting, Sam Jewell.

Results of a supporters’ survey of 4,000 Blues fans this week showed just one per cent feel Chelsea’s sporting department is well-structured and effective.."

So this rumor fits in with what Blueco let be known in the media about them not caring about beating Arsenal and trying to win the league cup.

Palmer, Delap, Gusto and James could have all played yesterday through the minor issues they had, but the match was deemed not a priority to make any sort of risk with.

Guess we see if all are back for Brentford as the brief has been making the CL spots is vital.

Imo we won't get anywhere near the top 4.

If Liverpool maintain their current rate of points accumulation then they'd end up on 63 points. Brentford would have 60.

I think it will be a low bar this season for CL qualification, but even then we might not make it ... and that will be a financial disaster for BlueCo and will probably result in the sale of Palmer.

Agreed!! We will hopefully scrape a champions league place. I would be sad to lose Cole Palmer. 😞

These f**ks are the worst thing that has happened to Chelsea Football Club in the past 25 years. I'm stating the obvious here I know, but like many fans I'm at a point of no return where I want to see them f**k off and never return. They are a disgrace to Chelsea, the EPL and to football as a whole.

The amount of damage they're doing to the Chelsea brand name and the club itself will be irreversible if they go on like this.

They're dragging the club through the mud financially. They cannot leave because of a certain contract that holds them in untill 2032, they cannot leave because they have made a mess financially and no other sane owner is going to burn his hands for this.

Best of luck to anyone who's at the game this weekend for the protests.

Government's Authority Over Abramovich's Funds

Legal Framework

The UK government has limited power to directly force Roman Abramovich to transfer the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea FC. The funds, amounting to over £2.5 billion, are frozen under UK sanctions, which prevent Abramovich from accessing them. However, ownership of the funds remains with him, meaning the government cannot simply seize or redirect them without his consent.
