This admission of guilt from the board, what happened with LR, the summer transfer window, etc. The fact that they’re even accepting a move from head coach to manager says a lot about how Chelsea is completely out of control and how badly we’re screwed. The protests should continue.

Exactly, we have fan content creators like Younes and Johnny Minerals to thank for piling on the pressure with exposing the utter shambolic running of the club by BlueCo. Hiring Alonso and briefing that they will give him more power in signings and running of the club could be seen as their last chance to get this right. If we now have a shocking summer window and there are even the slightest signs of not following through with backing Alonso… the protests will intensify big time.

I think they only changed because of the protests and because of LR’s failure.

100% - was thinking the same - they would be dragging their heels if it was not for fan discontent. Their latest mantra is ''football is about learning''. To me theyve twigged its not enough just to buy a brand and milk it, it has to be nurtured as well

Fully agree. I'll go on to say that if it weren't for relentless fan discontent and the protest, these people wouldnt even contemplate changing their ways or going after a manager like Alonso (or Pochettino before him). We would still be stuck with Rosenior's, Potter's or Gary O'Neil. It will nearly impossible to move BlueCo out until theyve burnt up all the finances (in which case they will bail themselves out anyway), so the least that can happen from shitshow seasons is they wake up and at least move the needle a little. The fact that they've actually given him a managerial title, not just first team coach, speaks volumes to me.

Only at this club and with this board do we end up happy that our coach is being called a manager

I would take Lewis Hall as a replacement. Depending on which system you play, both are better in different areas imo. Lewis Hall is younger and has a higher ceiling too. It will not happen though as we don't have a buy back clause, I am sure and he will cost too much. He also wanted to leave to go to that part of England anyway.

I’m really keen on Mika Godts.. looks a superb talent. I really hope it’s true.

WHU are done, somebody will be grabbing Fernandes and Bowen and getting two very good players

I dont agree with this. We will not get a world class left back lol. if we sell cucul, LH is a great replacement

No thanks to Lewis Hall. Solid PL LB but not top class and a clear downgrade on Cucu. If we sell Cucu then Barco has to be his replacement. He can become that super versatile left sided fullback/midfielder hybrid we need.

Like I said, it’s right to be angry with how things have gone and be hostile towards our owners for getting us into this state. Other Chelsea content creators like Matisse and George Benson have said as much. But Younes takes even positive things and is quick to pour cold water on them. I get it, things are shit currently, but he acts like this club is completely irredeemable. Let’s just see how things play out this summer before being super nagative. I don’t think we have wingbacks of high enough quality either. Reece was of course once one of the best attacking fullback in the world but his body can’t withstand it for long. Cucu is excellent at bombing forward and getting involved in attacks but he is not nearly dangerous enough with final actions to be a wingback for me. Everyone in the media is just kind of assuming automatically that he’s going to play 3 at the back with wingbacks but I’m kind of hoping he doesn’t. I want to see us with proper wingers.

if we get hall, we can sell cucurella, tbh

In Leverkusen he played 3421. In Madrid 433. Wonder what's gonna happen here? Considering quality of our wingers maybe first option not bad.

🗯💣🔵Simon Phillips has some great transfer news today regarding the summer. 🙌Chelsea is working internally on bringing Lewis Hall back. 👌Chelsea is working intensively on a transfer for Mika Godts from Ajax. ✅️Xabi Alonso wants to keep Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez at Chelsea. ⏳️But Cucu has been desperate to leave since January 2026 Manchester City, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid are all desperate to sign Cucurella.

That transfer window, apart from João Pedro, showed everything that’s wrong with this board. Gittens, Delap, Garnacho, etc... then the failure to sign a CB, going for LR, it was all wrong. That being said, Xabi Alonso was probably the best appointment we could’ve made at this point. But it will still depend entirely on the transfer market. That’s when we’ll really see whether this board has learned from its mistakes or if it’s just going to keep repeating them. And honestly, I hope the protests continue until there are actual signs of change.

He tried the positive route after the CWC and the club let him and all of us down with shocking signings bar Pedro. He has every reason to be negative about this clownery going on at Chelsea. Appointing Alonso is literally the only positive thing BlueCo have done since signing Pedro which was wrapped in 3/4 shocking signings. Even the signing of Alonso will only be a positive if they back him properly which is yet to be seen.

Theyve been sensible and havent given him a stupidly long contract. Hope they give him what he needs...and dont screw this up! 3rd manager this year.. mad

Seems like a good choice and it's one of the few ex Liverpool players I don't hate. Always had some class about him for me. But I'm afraid that even if he does well like Maresca, he will have enough of the incompetent board and such after a while. But here's to hoping it won't be the case and they learnt their lesson.

🔵❌️Chelsea have removed three senior figures from their men’s first-team loans department in a move the club describes as “strategic development”. ❌ Ed Brand ( Loan Technical Coach) ❌ Marlon Fahy (Senior Loan Operations & Performance Analyst) ❌ Luis Nedlo ( Loan & Mentor Technical Coach) ✅️🗯The Chelsea new Loan Operation is now run by: 1️⃣ Former goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini (Loan Player Manager) 2️⃣ Josh Marsh (Loans and Pathways Manager) 3️⃣ Ross Turnbull (Goalkeeper Loans).

Welcome.

The problem is that even if Guardiola were at the club, as long as the management doesn’t change and they don’t sign ready-made players, nothing will change

I’ve watched Younes for many years but had to unfollow him because he is so relentlessly negative about everything. It has gotten a bit tiring. All the other big Chelsea YouTubers have been rightly critical of how things have gone but they can at least acknowledge the positive things too. Younes just always projects the worst possible outlook on everything.

Ego having signed for a big club at such an age. Probably still thinks he's a big fish.

🗯🔵River Plate reached the 2026 Apertura Tournament grand final by defeating Rosario Central in the semifinals on May 16. CFC midfielder Kendry Páez (19) was omitted from the squad for the match, his 2nd consecutive absence after being left out against Gimnasia La Plata. 🫩❌️He really does have an attitude problem and it’s ruining his career!!!
