To play devils advocate, away from the emotion of the nature of the PSG exit, they’re currently on track for the seasons expectations with their long term plan in mind. - CL Qualification - Competitive in cups Carabao - Semi FA Cup - Should be at least semis Champions League - R16 On the surface, that’s not horrific. I’d personally only say the season is a failure if they don’t get CL. Even then you could argue reasons as to why with quite a lot of context. Biggest instability is coming from the managerial position at the min. Interested to see what happens both with that area and with summer recruitment. If managerial position stabilised and they’re efficient in the market, I actually expect quite a big quality jump next year, which would again be in alignment with their objectives and the big picture

@objective_cfc This is all objective to whether we finish T5 or not. Don’t do that and the season is a failure and we have regressed. (Even 5th is a failure imo) And tbh 4 years into a “project” and finishing 4th being the target is just pathetic and unacceptable for a club like Chelsea.

@CFCSnowy Depends what your expectations are man…

@objective_cfc This is Chelsea, no? Shouldn’t the target be competing on every front?!

You’re free to target what you want man. Personally I’ve align my expectations with the model as it doesn’t cause me to feel intense anger day to day, but people are free to do as they please man. having romans short term expectations without Romans model is a recipe for suffering imo
