Chelsea FC in CLE

Todd Boehly and Eghbali are clueless on every single level. They took a debt free club and within 4 years recoded the largest loss ever recorded in football. On a business level they’re making a mess of it. On a football level they’ve spent over £1.2 billion, ripped apart a champions league winning squad with a truly elite level manager and have signed over 45 players and made us worse. Hired a manager who has achieved nothing, proven nothing and that no one else in the league would have considered. And because of their complete lack of knowledge about the game they refuse to add any sort of experience and by doing so created the youngest squad in the league which is incapable of challenging for any top tier competition. It’s going to backfire, fans will start to turn away very soon

Joe Cole slams Chelsea project: “The fans are not happy. Since the takeover, they’ve spent £1.5bn. They’ve posted massive losses. They are 4 years into a 5-year plan. It looks like, barring a miracle, they will be out of the Champions League. We need to talk about the strategy, the plan and where the club is going. “This model of buy young, develop, and put value on. I thought to myself it sounds like buy and sell. Buy loads of players at 21, they will come into their prime at 25, and the average age of a Premier League-winning side is 27. Logically, buy them at 21, 22 or 23. “Seven-year deals, average age, develop, by the time they are 27, but it seems too data-driven, structured, without the nuance of having senior players, how important that is, the culture, getting fans onside. “We’re coming up to the fourth year of the masterplan. For all of the chaos of Abramovich’s exit, the plan was always clear. Buy the best players, get the best managers, win every trophy. If they lose games, managers were gone, players were gone, and everyone knew what was going to happen. “Clearlake have come in and gone, this is too structured, we’re going to try a new long-term plan. The first alarm bell to me is the number of managers sacked. That tells me that it isn’t long-term thinking; it can’t be. If it’s long-term, you stick with a manager.”

8 - Chelsea have conceded eight goals across a competitive two-legged tie (domestic and European) for the first time in their history. Breached.

We have been made aware of a distressing image doing the rounds today, suggesting Tottenham have beaten us 3-1. This has clearly been photoshopped, and we will be taking this up with the relevant authorities. Even we'd beat Spurs...

Mulligan's BnG, Strongsville 12.45

CHELSEA REWIND: On this day in 1982, Chelsea faced Tottenham in the F.A Cup Quarter Final at Stamford Bridge. The programme front cover was in black and white, warning fans about their behaviour.

@KenCarmanShow @clecrunch please

@KenCarman Start covering @clecrunch !

Chelsea were outside of the automatic qualification spots when Cole Palmer was subbed on... He went on to assist Joao Pedro twice to help complete the comeback against Napoli 🪄

CHELSEA REWIND: 3rd kit from 98/00, can’t beat an original! A classic late 90’s combination of UMBRO & AUTOGLASS. Holds some great memories this one, and for me one player in particular. Tore Andre Flo in a classic 4-3 comeback at Blackburn & two goals at Villa Park in a 3-0 win.

The Cleveland vs Pittsburgh rivalry takes a new shape tonight. Tune in! Presented by @CilantroTaqueri 📍 Sewickley Sports Arena (Pittsburgh, PA) 🕗 7:00 pm EST 📺 MLISPROtv (YouTube) 🎟 tinyurl.com/44usx68j 📸 @viperg98 #CrunchTime #ClevelandSoccer #ClevelandSports #IndoorSoccer #ArenaSoccer @MLISpro

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ROMAN ABRAMOVICH JUST SENT A DIRECT WARNING TO THE UK GOVERNMENT! 🔵🇷🇺 #CFC “I am appalled by current affairs at Chelsea Football Club." "I’m not obliged to say anything more at this moment." "But I can say to the UK government—EXPECT ME.” — ROMAN ABRAMOVICH The man who built Chelsea into a powerhouse, delivered 21 trophies, and turned Stamford Bridge into a fortress of dreams... is BACK in the conversation, and he’s FURIOUS. This isn’t nostalgia. This is a statement. Roman has been watching the chaos, the mismanagement, the decline – and he’s had ENOUGH. “Expect me.” Those two words just shook the football world. Chelsea fans everywhere chanting his name louder than ever tonight. The real owner in spirit has spoken. Is Roman coming back? The king never left?
