That's one big money club out of the way, only about 4 others to go!

Terry is also in negotiations with suppliers to cut the cost of kits for nearly 300 youngsters who play for the club. The Chelsea captain told Sportsmail: 'When the seriousness of the situation was brought to my attention through reading the Daily Mail, I immediately wanted to help. 'Having made contact with Tony Carroll (Senrab club secretary) I've made a donation that I've been told should keep the club in a healthy position for the next few years.' Senrab, which is based in east London and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, has produced a string of England internationals including Tottenham's Ledley King and Fulham's Bobby Zamora. Terry said: 'If some of the ex-players could also follow suit I'm sure this would help secure the long-term future of the club.' Carroll, who has been involved with the club for 20 years, was thrilled by Terry's donation. He said: 'Thanks to John, the weight of the world's been lifted of our shoulders. We can look forward to next season knowing we don't have to beg and borrow to survive any more. 'I want to say thanks to the Daily Mail for highlighting the problem and helping us on our way.' ------------------------------------------------ Source: The Daily Mail ------------------------------------------------

I disagree, I'm sure Torres can score a couple before the season is finished. He's has so many close moments!

I have only one question, and it only consists of one word... Why??

Good call. He's been in our youth setup for some time actually hasn't he?? It's a real shame Delac hasn't played that many games for Vitesse this season, I would have hoped he could perform well and break into their squad. Although at 18 years of age for a goalkeeper, that is still relatively a very young age!!

Welcome to the forums dude!

I'd rather see Matej Delac come through the ranks and become part of the senior setup. But on terms of keeper quality, Begovic is a better buy than this keeper.

Thoughts and prayers from me go to his family, this is horrible news! :( R.I.P

1) My Uncle is a massive Chelsea supporter, he's been following the team since Ray Wilkins, Kerry Dixon and Chopper! 2) My Grandad used to cycle to Stamford Bridge on a regular basis in his youth. 3) I started being a supporter in mid 1997 when I watch Roberto Di Matteo scored after 30 seconds in the FA Cup Final against Middlesbrough. After seeing that win, it gave me a real rush to start following them because I enjoyed their style of play, and I really thought Dennis Wise was an excellent captain at the time! KTBFFH! :blue scalf:

Yeah actually, that is a point, what ever happened to Manuf?? One thing I remember from him, was that his graphics making was phenominal (slightly going off topic there)

I'm loving the badge on that! Absolute class!!

Fantastic thread Tomo, you really are an underrated member on this forum! Hope you keep it up dude! KTBFFH :blue scalf:

Looking back on this season, it's clear to see we need an overhaul more than anything because a majority of our players are getting on 30 or well into their 30s; and we've suffered a massive crisis during that period. One thing that must NOT change is the changing of manager!

yeah exactly! That's partly the reason for his mishaps in management this season. He's looked like a wotsit in a trance most of the time because he hasn't had anyone to talk to since the sacking of Wilkins. If anything, it's Ron Gourlay's fault for saying the wrong things at the wrong time, and the whole squad has been left to pick up the pieces. To put bundles of pressure on a top class manager, for a mistake that the board originally made is totally uncalled for IMO, that's why I continue to back Carlo, because I know he can turn things around for us, if he's able to work with the right sort of people.

And you honestly believe that will happen?? May I remind you, that under Hodgson, losing to us has been the only defeat West Brom have preserved in as many as 10 games.

neither do I for that matter. I think the Chelsea board really need to make an effort in trying to keep Carlo, and a majority of the fans need to back him more. The players have done what they can to give him some encouragement to carry on as boss, players like Frank Lampard and JT have said their pieces about him. Hopefully, if he stays on for another season, and he starts working with a much younger and fitter team, who spark off an amazing bit of chemistry between each other, getting us some good results, Carlo's job will be a lot safer, and we'll get a lot more success. It's because we endure one spot of crisis, that the board decide that a manager's time in charge is up. No wonder we've chopped and changed so much! On the strength of that, I start to think that their patience is very thin with these top class managers (Scolari, Grant et al), which I honestly believe is ridiculous!

Loving the photos Steve! I'm beginning to like the kit a lot now, looking at them in the Megastore! It grows on you after a while

Dude that looks atrociously bad!! :541: :541: :541: :541: :541:
