Glazers is an example. There's not much power fans have but protests over a prolonged period, refusing to buy club merchandise, go to games and hopefully they just decide to sell the club or at the least fire Boehly/Eghbali

I'd sell all of them besides Caicedo.

The hilarious thing is these numpties were holding out on securing a long-term shirt sponsor in hopes of better deal, and now have risked not finishing in any of the European spots. What was old Eghbali's astute assessment again? "Chelsea were quite frankly an asset, not terribly well managed on the football, sporting or promotional side" Someone should put those words on a banner and hold it aloft in the stadium.

They won’t change shit because of the fans though. Lets be real. Look at how well thats worked out for the Strasbourg fans, they’ve done a lot more protesting and shown discontent over a much longer, prolonged period than we have and nothing has changed there. At all. BlueCo don’t care. Attendances probably will have to start dropping by a huge number constantly for a prolonged period to make any sort of difference to these. But it won’t be noticed due to the change in atmosphere, it will be noticed due to loss of match day money. Even then, Boehly & Eghbali will just keep flogging tickets to tourists at hugely inflated prices as they have been. Fans not going to games & renewing season tickets may sound extreme but it is the only way to show these IMO. Can boo/whistle/whatever but they are ruthless billionaires who probably don’t care what people think of them as it is.

The only difference between Cucurella and Cinderella are the letters He was shite today, along with them all. I keep saying it and will continue to do so, need to buy experience, quality keeper, quality CB, top class CF and a LW.

Pedro did a Pele in Escape to Victory wonder goal and Colwill came out of his first game of the season unscathed. About the limit of anything positive from that shit show. none of the starting back 4 should start again this season.

9th again..yay..only on goal difference

3-3

Damn Everton winning and we are 10th...

Chelsea have always been very successful in terms of player sales, which have generated far more money for the club than ticket sales over the last decade. ''The 22 Holdco business model is similar to that of a hedge fund in that signing young players on long-term contracts can be very profitable and reduces the chances of players leaving on a Bosman deal for no fee. '' Now that model is pretty well fucked, and everything is threatened, even attracting a new high-profile manager, without Champions League football.

Yeah from fighting for their lives to confidence, and now maybe reversed positions West Ham 22 Holdco 😉

Way we are going they'll probably turn their back a lot sooner!! Wouldn't surprise me if Spurs spring a surprise..

Utd players have been praising Carrick, saying he has learned from Ferguson, and is bringing that Ferguson magic to training and tactics Cant imagine any of our lot said that about Liam 🤪- last time we heard anything like that was when they praised Tuchel

Not A Project CFC, the protest group, are planning two further protests. The first will take place on the steps of Wembley Way before the FA Cup final against Manchester City. A second protest to take place inside Stamford Bridge, where fans are asked to turn their backs in the 22nd minute of the final home game vs Sp*rs

But there has to be a will to do it. ie are the venture capitalists really that interested in team success ? If not the rot from the top will remain, no matter what Directors of football they appoint, puppets that are constrained by AI and cashflows. PL and Championship are littered with billionaire owners quite content to drive at 50 in the middle lane as long as they add to their fortunes. If they have the will for success, like the custodians of Liverpool, Utd, Citeh, where the penny finally dropped that you need to get a good manager in, trust him, and give him the autonomy to get on with it - that would be a start

So so true, the owners are idiots but these supposed sporting directors who should know about football are top garbage and Eghbali is naive and stupid to believe them in anything they do. Fucking morons all 5.

It starts with the owners, but IMO a fallout like this is what it takes for these clowns to wake up and change direction. I don't see the owners up and leaving next summer, but what I hope is that this season becomes a stain against Eghbali & his cronies. This will hopefully force Eghbali & co to reconsider their youth-prioritized recruitment strategy. I don't know if this means that Joe Shields & his Kinetic buddies will get displaced soon though. This season is a damning indictment, but I fear those parasites are going to stick around for a while to influence recruitment. Hopefully they (meaning Eghbali, Todd & the upper echolons) at least take the power of influencing team selection away from the directors and restore it to the coach. Whoever comes next. And speaking of who comes next, Rosenior and Callum are giving a first class demonstration of how a manager can make or break the team. Hopefully they will learn. A lot of 'hope' & 'hopefully' in my post, but that's the situation we're in. To make matters worse, the club is in massive debt and might not have the finances to make all the corrections needed this summer.

As it stands do the club even know? When you have 5 chefs making one fucking soup who has a bastard clue what’s going on

The biggest decision for me right now is not the manager, not the signings but who is in sporting charge first and foremost

If nothing changes next season and we still have FIVE fucking FIVE sporting directors, we will be in a relegation battle, we don’t need fucking 5 we need 1 competent SD, we need to stop this youth and only youth and need a mixture of both senior players and youth, this summer window is the only thing that will show if we have changed in terms of signings and managers, if it’s more of the same then we are truly fucked, this isn’t irreversible yet but it can be

This thread needed to be opened as I think we now have a very serious serious situation at this club. We haven't fell so low for many many years. Now bare in mind I have seen the early 80's, late 80's, 90's and to this day now. This right now is nothing short of tragic, not just performances, not just results but how the fucking club is run from top to bottom. Let's debate this, lets about what we are now, what we have sen and what we have become. Let your feelings go, let your mind type and let yourself say what you really feel. CFC is rotten, what needs to change? for me it starts with the owners but the sporting directors are selling them down the river, the signings are garbage, the ideas are pathetic and the appointments are diabolical. Discuss

I believe for accidental fouls/non-deliberate has been removed. Intentional fouls are still a red card. He pulled him which was not an accident. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36047575 "But deliberate fouls will still incur a red card. Those include holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity."

Winstanley, Srewart and Shields are the biggest problem, they are guiding the likes of Egghead and telling them players like Garnacho, Gittens, Delap, Tosin etc are the right players....they are NOT. It goes above them though, the whole thing is a mess

Caicedo was shite today....only good thing is we may have a chance for GOTM for our only goal from Joao Pedro Some of these players man....Palmer, Caicedo, Enzo, Gusto...fucking rubbish

Not sure there's a big market for even our better players. And BlueCo will not spend with any seriousness.
