You just know that these clowns above are hoping and praying that we limp along and look just mediocre enough that they can keep Rosenior in the job and sell the supporters on some magical transfer window that transforms the team. They know they’re completely fucked if they have to sack their handpicked puppet.

There is absolutely zero reason to watch the rest of the season. Liverpool have been shit all season and even as recently as a few days ago their fans have been calling for their manager to be sacked because of how poor they’ve been. And yet even they now have a comfortable gap in front of us considering our remaining fixtures. Only question now is how much uglier this could get and whether we should sit all of our senior players to avoid playing Conference League next season.

This club is dead and buried as a UCL caliber side unless one of two things happen. 1) These owners sell up and fuck off. Let someone who cares first and foremost about FOOTBALL and doesn’t treat the club like an asset you experiment and fuck around with with zero knowledge of the game. or 2) If selling up is impossible they need to do a complete 180 on this “model” of theirs and hire a proven, top class manager and sign 3-4 proven, top class players. Unless or until these things happen we completely cooked as a serious team and all of our best players will be desperate to leave.

Darwin Nuñez…a striker who was ridiculed for being too mentally fragile to succeed at Liverpool. Even our incompetent directors would t do something THAT idiotic.

The Enzo contract situation does expose a big problem we will have eventually regardless of how we feel about this situation. It makes good business sense and it is smart to start all these guys on relatively modest wages compared to what the other big clubs pay but after a year or two of performing well they’ll start looking around Europe and thinking “these guys I’m FAR better than are making double or triple what I am.” That being said, a Google search says Enzo is already on £180k per week. For current Chelsea that’s gotta be right up there with our highest earners. So I’m not sure what he thinks he deserves.

He looked really good to me in the UCL matches I’ve watched recently. 🤷‍♂️

Gittens reinjuring himself before even returning. Doubt we’ll be able to sell him this summer.

Just between players we already own or in Barco’s case practically own, I think the squad will be better next season. Penders, Quenda, and Barco are all guys I’m very excited to see in Chelsea shirts. Emegha, who tf knows. What the bulk of any big money business we can do needs to be heavily focused on the CB and LW positions. If we fail to upgrade at the heart of our defense we’re fucked again.

Barco is a complete no brainer of a signing so I hope it’s true. And that’s regardless of this Enzo mess.

What a sad end to his Chelsea career. Feels like just yesterday where we seemed to be in a decent position and Enzo was one of our best performers. In a season where he was starting to really prove those who had doubts wrong, this happens. Can’t blame him or any other player for being fed up with “the project,” but there are ways to go about things and there are ways you don’t. When your current club made a massive effort to sign you, paid an absurd fee for you, stuck by you during controversy and poor form, and your teammates made you vice captain, to then go and openly shit on the club by publicly whoring yourself to another club is crossing a line for sure. Especially when there’s still a tiny chance of salvaging this PL campaign. If he had started agitating for a move to Madrid during the summer after the season was over I think it goes better for him. During the season when the club are in the mud? Just disrespectful to his teammates, the fans, and the club itself.

Don’t have a problem at all with Cucu’s comments the other day. He said himself that he’s happy here and seems to genuinely appreciate being a Chelsea player whilst also just telling the truth about how the players feel. Also don’t have a problem with him saying he’d have to genuinely think about it if Barca were to come in for him. For a Barca product that’s impossible to ignore. What Enzo is doing is straight up disrespectful. As shambolic as the ownership situation is and has been during his time the club still made a massive effort to sign you, paid an insane fee, the supporters stuck by you when you struggled badly at times, and you’re the vice captain. For him to be out here in front of cameras any chance he gets whoring himself for Real Madrid is spitting in our faces.

Enzo just gonna run his mouth about his desire for Madrid out in the open to the media everyday, huh? Again, I’ve loved him as a personality and at times as a player but tbh he can fuck off this summer. Get a huge fee and replace him with a more athletic midfielder and we probably upgrade our team.

No doubt. But despite all the chaos and the shit show that is our ownership and their woeful transfer/managerial policies, had Palmer been better we’d be talking about this season as another “building block” campaign where we could then attack the summer window to challenge next year. We’ve had great overall seasons from several of our top players. If Palmer had been one of them we’d be way up the table and sitting pretty. I had a lot of sympathy for him early in the season about carrying the injury. But my sympathy completely ran out months ago. He is being selfish by not getting surgery months ago because he’s desperate to go to the WC.

Palmer has been atrocious for pretty much the entire season so he should really be “frustrated and disillusioned” with himself just as much as he is with the club. If he was playing at his best level from a year or two ago we’d comfortably be finishing 2nd or 3rd and looking forward to an enjoyable summer. Still, under literally no circumstance would I sell him this summer and ESPECIALLY not to another PL club.

He’s not going to say shit. He’s a company man through and through. He’s never going to say anything remotely controversial and especially not related to the people who handed him his job.

The squad clearly really, really liked Maresca. They didn’t want him to go. They clearly viewed him as someone who could eventually take them to the top if these clowns up top gave him the right tools instead of more kids. This interview from Cucu is what we need more of from our big players, though. BlueCo may choose to simply ignore the supporters, put their heads in the sand, and push forward with their same awful transfer policy. But they won’t be able to ignore their big star players that THEY SIGNED calling them out and potentially pushing to leave their “project” because of their incompetence.

If we sell him to United I’d probably be done watching Chelsea completely until these owners are gone.

If Barca made a huge push for Cucu I think he’d want to go but as he said himself he’s happy here. Thankfully, Barca are still broke and there’s no chance they’d blow their whole summer budget on a LB. Much like with Enzo, I don’t think there’s a chance the club would take a pound less than what we paid for him if he were to go right now. And Barca ain’t paying £60m or whatever it was for Cucu. Overall, whilst I can’t blame some of our key players for considering their futures and maybe having eyes for other clubs, it’s definitely a bit annoying knowing that a big part of the reason we’re in the mess we’re in is because THEY have not performed. Some of these guys are acting like they’ve held up they’ve held up their end of the bargain but have been let down by those above them. In reality, it’s the players’ extreme inconsistency that has us where we are too.

Seems like Enzo and Rodri are currently having a twerk off in the media to determine which of the two can entice Real Madrid to come and buy them. Both seem desperate to go there. Normally you’d give the Spaniard who is from Madrid the edge but Rodri has looked broken since his long injuries and he’s just about to turn 30. He’s not exactly marketable either and won’t sell millions of shirts like Enzo would. But then on the other hand Fabrizio Romano is still reporting that Nico Paz is definitely heading back to Madrid. Which would then make signing one of Enzo or Rodri completely pointless.

Can already tell the Enzo transfer stuff is going to be a distraction from now until the summer. I’m already over it. If somehow after all this talk he stays and is happy then I’m fine with it. But if he forces himself away I won’t mourn in the way I would with Caicedo or Palmer for example. In a vacuum, if we can recoup what we bought him for from Madrid then I’d do it without much thought. But with these guys doing the recruitment who knows where they’d turn to replace him. That’s the only scary part about letting Enzo go. If Madrid do indeed sign Enzo I’m going to assume that means they decline to bring Nico Paz back as has been heavily rumored. He’d be a great Enzo replacement for us. Him + Barco would be awesome.

I’m just glad we aren’t hearing noises about Caicedo pushing or exploring a move away. As long as we keep the core of Caicedo, Palmer, Cucu, Estevão, João Pedro and Reece I feel like even in such a dark period there’s an extremely high level base to build around. Everyone else is 100% expendable outside of those. You could add Colwill too but it’s a complete mystery as to what he’ll look like when he return after a year out. With all the noise going around it’s abundantly clear that Enzo is gone. As much as I’ve turned around on him positively this season, he is definitely the most replaceable of our “big” players. As woeful as Palmer has been this season I remain hopeful that he’ll want to stay and he can return to his actual level under a proper manager next season. Because we couldn’t possibly find a replacement for him when he’s in form and the thought of him doing so after we’ve sold him to one of the Manchester clubs is disgusting.

PSG play in a piss easy league compared to us, though. And their league season has been very poor by their standards so it may have had side effects for them. They weren’t impressive in the UCL either until they played us. They just have so many outrageously good attacking talents that they can still kill anyone even if not at their best.

I think the only reason they’ll be clinging to as a justification not to sack him is one of the excuses he used in the presser just now. That the CWC has massively affected the squad as the season has gone on. Unless things get so incredibly toxic from here they’ll stick with him. Problem with this thinking of course is that this is a World Cup summer. So any idea that this squad will be refreshed and rested after a nice long summer break and can then show their true level next season is idiotic if that’s what they’re thinking.

If these guys have the audacity to appoint O’Neil or any other total amateur again after Rosenior then fans need to show up to the Bridge with pitchforks and physically remove them.

Sack him. And Sanchez should never play for this club again. I’d rather have a academy kid in goal the rest of the way.
