🚨🔵 BREAKING: Calum McFarlane will be Chelsea new head coach until June on interim basis. McFarlane will be working with support from existing Chelsea backroom staff.

It wasn’t Potter’s fault. It wasn’t Pochettino’s fault. It wasn’t Maresca’s fault. It isn’t Rosenior’s fault. People can blame coaches all they like, but the whole BlueCo/Chelsea project has been such a spectacular, hubristic failure nytimes.com/athletic/69353…

Ser bra ut!

Chelsea didn’t get booed off today because all the fans had already left 😂🤦🏻

Nu händer det saker. Enzo Fernandez petad i två matcher.

Elanga!!!

Premier League fans deliver damning verdict on VAR. 75% of 7,946 fans polled by the Football Supporters’ Association “didn’t support the use of VAR”. Too long, too forensic, too much of a joy killer, fans say. Findings shared with Premier League and PGMO. 92% of fans surveyed “agreed” that “VAR has removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrations” (82% of them “strongly agreed”). 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” with the notion that “VAR makes watching football more enjoyable”. And 83% of those watching on TV. 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” that “VAR decisions are generally resolved in a reasonable amount of time”. Echoed by 83% of those watching on TV. Only 18% agreed that “VAR has improved the overall accuracy of refereeing decisions”. 72% are “concerned about the expansion of VAR beyond its current remit”. 79% “strongly disagreed” with the suggestion “that the match-going experience is better with VAR”. 67% “strongly agreed” that they preferred “watching games that are played without VAR to games with VAR”. 84% “strongly support” goal-line technology. 34% “strongly opposed” to the idea of a challenge system (two per game per team). “These findings back up the FSA's previous survey in 2021, where fans expressed misgivings about the introduction of VAR,” says Thomas Concannon, @WeAreTheFSAPremier League network manager. “The vast majority are reporting the same concerns five years on - the loss of spontaneity when celebrating goals, and an overall worsening of the match-going experience. We have shared the survey results with the Premier League and PGMO, and look forward to discussing its findings with them.” Fans surveyed of all PL clubs and all ages (Under-18 to 65+).

Stämningen i Chelsea-land just nu

Tappat omklädningsrummet alltså.

🗣️ Spanish football expert Graham Hunter: “I'm close friends with Luis Enrique. Before he took over at Paris Saint Germain, he had a very successful interview with Clearlake at Cobham for the Chelsea job. And he said - “I'm not taking that job.” He saw exactly what Enzo Maresca has suffered. And I know because he told us in the making of the documentary that we had with him. He saw interfering owners, 62 Directors of Football. There's a problem coming. Xabi Alonso would not choose Chelsea. Stand on me. If I'm wrong, get me back on the show and humiliate me when Alonso’s the new Chelsea manager. He won’t choose that.” (via @talkSPORT)
