As we build up to yet another iconic protest march at Wembley prior to the Cup Final on Saturday, there’s already a huge amount of noise surrounding the managerial hot seat at Stamford Bridge.
Xabi Alonso is the name currently on everyone’s lips. At any other point in my life as a Chelsea supporter, I’d be genuinely excited by the prospect of one of the brightest managerial talents in football and someone many of us grew up admiring taking charge of our club.
Unfortunately, in the current environment, with this ownership and sporting structure in place, I have little to no faith that an appointment like that would ever be given the autonomy required to succeed at an elite football club.
The current structure simply is not fit for purpose and is not conducive to a serious sporting environment.
I’m sure there will be plenty more noise around Alonso in the lead up to the Cup Final. That’s how they operate. Probably more noise around managerial links than the final itself. Distract. Brief. Deflect. Attempt to dilute the growing anger amongst supporters ahead of another major protest.
This movement isn’t just about results. It isn’t just about players, cup finals, league positions, European football, former managers or potential new ones.
It’s about the continued erosion of Chelsea Football Club’s identity.
It’s about holding an ownership to account that operates with minimal consideration for supporters.
It’s about pushing back against policies that continue to damage match going culture.
It’s about highlighting the fundamental failings of a sporting leadership team that continues to execute a failing model with zero accountability.
It’s about not wanting rival managers paraded around the directors box whilst fans are treated with contempt through managed briefings and media narratives.
Most importantly, it’s about taking back the football club that has been central to many of our lives for as long as we can remember.
It’s vitally important supporters look beyond the instant gratification a new manager or signing may temporarily provide and instead ask the deeper question of why this football club continues moving further away from what made it special in the first place.
We want our Chelsea back.
And we march on Saturday at Wembley.
