If we compare what we were before Abramovich to what we are now, the club made a massive leap. Even if we can’t fight for titles right now, we’ll never be completely irrelevant — but we could end up in a drought of major trophies for many years.
Truth be told, we haven’t really challenged for the league since Conte’s first season. We hit the jackpot with Abramovich, and now we’ve got terrible luck with this new ownership.
We’re two-time European champions, we’ve won everything — including the UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cups, and Europa Leagues — but it’s sad not to have any real hope of competing for the biggest prizes again.
