    Hate to think that the board are working hard on transfers especially since the harder they work the more players we seem to loan out. Also do the actually understand that they are supposed to be buying established players not untested youngsters. Guess it isn't about experience in the job at board level  just a shame Roman doesn't allow his managers the same opportunity in the job. Marina should be loaned out because given the fact that she a terrible negotiator it's the only way she's getting a transfer.

    The board aren't interested in bring anyone in. There is definitely a lack of urgency coming from them which can only means that they have told Conte that nobody else will be added to the squad. It seems to me that our club maybe concerned about our net spend in balancing the books. Just wonder if they are taking the Arsenal route in saving and generating money in order to build the Stadium. Everything we are doing seems to mirror what Arsenal did for 8 years. It been noticeable that Roman has barely even been mentioned in all of this. Remember that estimates currently put our Stadium build at 600 million.

    To the Board,
     
    In 2015/16, you failed in invest in a title-winning squad. This was not a squad of exceptional talents - instead it relied on the brilliance of Diego Costa and Eden Hazard to drag itself through the final three months of the season. Instead of improving that team, you went out and bought Pedro - okay, fair investment, but he'd need time to settle - and a bunch of second-rate players with no real transfer strategy. It was like someone had simulated Football Manager by 12 months, and picked out a few obscure, random "potentials" who will no doubt never even play for the club. José Mourinho paid for the subsequent shitstorm with his job, but the biggest sufferers were us, the fans, who had to endure a season of mishit Willian free-kicks (most people only remember the good ones...), a midfield double-pivot of Nemanja Matic and John Mikel Obi, Eden Hazard substituting himself, and two "strikers" who scored two goals between them all season. Not to mention the fact our season ended when Kurt Zouma's knee decided enough was enough. In came Guus Hiddink to oversee the subsequent purgatory that led to an absolute humping by PSG in the Champions League, FA Cup humiliation at the hands of a Chelsea reject, and a 10th-place finish. 
     
    Lessons seemingly have not been learnt. Back the manager who won us the fucking title, and do it now. No title was ever won or lost after the first game, but after 3 or 4, we all know we could be out of the reckoning. We barely have a squad. So stop being shitcunts and buy some players. 
     
    Best regards,

    Sorry! but you can't keep a man in a job based on previous history. It's about today and right now he's well past his sell by date and their are a few others in that category. When it happens once it's a learning curve but to happen again it's just plain ignorance. Taxi for the man!!!!

    Might have agreed with you if Conte had all the players requested at his disposal but that isn't the case and the board in their infinite wisdom have taken the attitude that less is more. If I wanted to get the best then I'd expect to pay the price. It because the board are business men that they look for short cuts. Cutting corners only leads to disaster. Our board seem to have lost the plot when it comes to transfers. Remember a time when we actually had a board that was decisive. Now we seem to dither and quibble over a player for weeks like the Alex Sandro fiasco.  Should have just moved on to the next target weeks ago. yet we hung around like an old girlfriend. Board have made us look like a complete ass. Where is our credibility gone. It's just a shame that Roman isn't as ruthless with his board as he is with managers.

    Here's one for the "calm" people not yet overly concerned about Chelsea's so-called problems right now: I propose that without more quality buys in the market, Chelsea are one N'Golo Kante injury from falling down to 10th position or lower. So, contrarians and "calm," "mature" Chelsea fans, how about naming another side in the Prem that with one injury can drop in the table so precipitously.
    Hint: you won't come up with one. You're welcome. 
    Unless something magical happens in the next 2-3 weeks, Granovskaia needs to fucking leave. Probably Emenalo too.

    Let's not beat around the brush. The present board are simply inept when it comes to measuring a players worth or actually acquiring players. I look around the Premiership and see far too many ex Chelsea players plying their trade in 1st teams of our league rivals. It is absolute lunacy that has brought us to a situation where we are chasing our tails to acquire players. We had some of the best young talent around but couldn't be bothered to give them time to blossom. We didn't even have the fore thought to sell them with buy back clauses. We sold potential and then brought crap ie Hector Miazga and Rahman to name but a few. Our youth policy is dire we keep on making the same mistakes by thinking that we are getting better older players from abroad. We buy players who have no real loyalty to our club and throw out players who want nothing more than to wear the blue shirt. I for one don't believe that our youth players aren't good enough when they continually win trophies. If any of our youth players were playing for a foreign club we would be hailing them as the next best thing and chasing their signature to play for us. Absolute madness. Just frustrated with a board who have no intention of promoting our youth, of how to buying top quality players and negotiating buy back clauses.  In the last 3 years have grown really frustrated with our boards lack of  direction. Something has to change for us to reach the next level.

    Citeh have the best squad.......don't know why Utd are even being considered. At the moment just wondering how we will cope with such a small squad. Lack of depth will be our undoing unless we have an early exit from cup competitions. At the moment the board seem more intent on reducing player numbers making it very difficult for Conte to manage and compete.

    Lets just hope that Oscar, Hazard and Willian don't get injuried, suspended, tired or have a loss of form at the same time. JM really is taking a gamble because all it takes is a string of unfortunate circumstances and we will seriously lack creative cover. I also wonder whether the 3 incumbant players will continue to perform at the same level for the rest of the season given the fact that we have gotten rid of 2 AM players.
    Guess a couple of these players must be breathing a sigh of relief given the sale of 2 AM players. Where is the competiton that JM is so keen on, cos right now I don't see it.
    This Chelsea Management need to get Everton and Atletico to stop running their mouths off on wanting to keep our players. Basically unsettling our loaned players. When Martinez was at Wigan he didn't ever talk about wanting to keep any Man Utd players in the team.........a distinct lack of respect shown by these teams to us, which shouldn't be tolerated. Why hasn't somebody from the Chelsea board or management told them to shut up about the future of our contracted players.
