Anybody that believed this guy was going to make a difference is delusional. Nobody is saving this, the only way forward is Clear Lake and BlueCo out.

The problem though Scott is BlueCo out to who. A lot of commentators and content creators are saying this, but who buys this? Realistically the only money outside of the same American sh*t ownership model is Saudi money but then people get moralistic about hunan rights issues. Also what appears to be missed is the Newcastle situation. Richest club in world football and they can't invest, not properly, because of the financial restrictions now being imposed in the game.

If BlueCo were willing to sell, who really is seeing this as a credible opportunity.

Save ourselves another pay-off and not having Gary O-Neill in the dugout yet?

It appears to be an open secret that he’s going Man City at the end of the season so they don’t seem to agree.

Due to infighting with his superiors his position was untenable but tactically he was pretty solid.

Eh?

Did you watch our games v Brighton, Sunderland, Man Utd, Leeds etc etc etc.................................

These two questions sum it up.

It isn't about the manager. It's about Clearlake's insistence on not getting competent people in.

As long as this mob is in charge all transfer and management talk is moot.

What’s the point of even caring?

It isn’t Chelsea FC anymore.

Anyone Can pick holes here and there and list results. Overall in his tenure he improved the team from his predecessor(s) and his successor looks to be regressing them.

Will see how he fares for the remainder of his managerial career but getting the city job isn’t too bad.

That's the big question. If they were to sell, they would only be interested in selling to someone who can give them the most money, not somebody that cares about football. Getting a football first owner is difficult. If they sold, I don't even expect us to be a top team any time soon, but I just feel like the longer this BlueCo sh*t sticks around, the more damage they will do to the point of ruin. I genuinely believe there is more chance of us being relegated under them in the next 5 years than there is a chance of us winning a league title. So at this point, I'll gamble on any owner.

Someone will come to show us how we were the better team with some stats or other. The reality is we are losing the games and are dreadful to watch. Nothing will change under the present ownership but keeping this hipster on the bench is not the solution either. Bring on O’Neil and let’s keep going through their list of sh*t coaches as fast as possible until they run out of suitable ones.

His football is Dull with a capital D.

I honestly can't see him getting the City job although I hope he does as I would expect City to go the way United did after Fergie.

I'd love him to get the City job. A manager out of his depth is exactly what you want at a club with pockets the size of a a continent.

His days are numbered. Players have lost faith in him already. The goalkeeping shambles against PSG didn’t help. And today was all but downing tools.

But I can’t see the Board getting rid of him till next season as it’ll be too soon to admit they messed up. They’ll give him till November before they dare pull the trigger. God knows who they’ll bring in next. This appointment was desperate enough.

He’s really bragging we’re 3rd in the table since he’s been here. With THAT easy fixture list 🤦

Tbh if had enough of him now

6 of us were going to the champions league game. Decided to feck it off.

There is zero chance any coach with a winning mentality comes here. They can’t go for a top class manager because he will tell them to f**k off with their sh*te which is why Poch left, Maresca left and Tuchel was sacked.

Hear me out here, and I know it’s not going to be too popular but… President Donald J Trump.

1. He’s a proven record of spending huge sums on Defence, our defence is sh*t we need that.

2. He’s a proven record of going for an ‘all out attack’ approach, again with the talent at our disposal we need that.

3. If we broke PSR/FFP or whatever it’s called, none of the Governing Bodies could do sh*t about it ‘cos he’d just fine them straight back, twice as much.

4. We’d all get to wear cool caps to the games and feel a part of something again.

5. Make Chelsea Great Again

Sad thing is, you're bang on the money. We are back to a Ken Bates club now. In fairness he eventually had some ambition that got us Hoddle and modernisation.

At least Ken Bates left the football decisions with the manager

Why don’t we all just drink some wine, eat some cheese and catch some rays.

Or support Chelsea man!

I wasn't as deflated as this when we were 10th and we were much closer to relegation at that point
