Insane atmosphere here as Chelsea try and do a remontada against PSG



Lot of noise around the club at the moment but I’m here for Chelsea vs Newcastle. With some of the read lately, you wonder if top five even matters that much.


🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A group of fans met with a club director recently, and say they were met with arrogance and dismisivness. Via @NotAProjectCFC • On the departure of Maresca, the director said that a coach’s overall impact is overestimated, and that there is no statistical relationship between managers and results. • According to the board director, problems with Maresca stemmed from him not being offered some of the same contract details that the sporting directors have in place.. • The director could not put a timeline on when Chelsea will compete at the top again, but that it was ‘f’ing obvious we are building one of the best teams in the world” The director denied they were being condescending and told us we have no more right to be upset than they do (despite the fact we are paying fans). • The club’s effort to reduce the wage bill has been seen as a means of offsetting the spend on players so far, and the director was honest about there being no appetite to compete for more established Premier League signings for this reason. A handful of players that have been successful for us were given as some sort of justification for this approach. • The club director spoke very disrespectfully about what was achieved under the previous ownership and of individuals involved in that time. In their view, the current ‘project’ consisting of vast expenditure and player churn is the only means with which we can hope to compete at the elite level at some point in the future. • Chelsea simply cannot afford to compete for the likes of Semenyo and Guehi, and that players with resale value is a more realistic approach. • The club director expressed surprise that, in view of the club still being 13 points off the top of the table at the time (this has risen to 19 points at the time of writing), in the fourth season of a ‘transitional period’, fans are not showing more patience. Although the director admitted they hoped for more progress this season. • Luis Enrique would not be the right fit for us as manager, and John Terry is not the right fit ‘proffesionally’ and should not be involved in first team affairs.
