I've lost all faith in Chelsea....

Tell that to some of our players and those fans people who visit our stadium week and week out

We can rock our socks of here and all we will do it to damage our eyes more, get pissed and bend our spines

thats the spirit, keep up the good work

Oh dear god honestly how many of you genuinely believed we would win the league this season or any silverware? Instant success is just expected by a lot of chelsea fans these days. Ridiculous. Did you see how we played last season with an ageing team? The majority of our players were bought by Jose or around in Jose's reign. They are past it and need to be replaced. That can't be done in one summer. This season is not about winning silverware its about creating a new team & some big changes should be made next summer as not enough were made in the summer. If you can't handle a couple of seasons without silverware you need to develop some patience & real support. Football is not always rosé.

I agree with you, (and proved it with the rep) but we are a club with the quality to do better than our last calendar year. Revised expectations are possibly in order. AVB came in here and has helped begin the next generation of Chelsea football, but he also stated that this club will strive for trophies throughout that process. If we could be ensured that AVB will be given the proper time and resources to build the next great Chelsea team, I'd feel better. But even you can't say that Roman will let this poor form go on for another whole season or two.

The only way of rescuing this season is if we delegate it to the next generation rather than watch a bunch of spineless, over-paid has-beens only give a fuck about their pay cheques.

Well said. Some of them are behaving like we have a god given right to win every match.

No, I just expect us not to get completley embarrased by shitpool at the bridge. Is that too much to ask?

We won't be winning a trophy every season just fucking face it.Oh dear lord what would happen if we didn't win a thing like Arsenal for 6-7 years? Our fan base would drop for like 70%.

Big changes?, i wouldn't mind it if we had bought the players we needed and it took a season to gel, but this is a wasted season. We havent bought any new players, and your saying we can't buy at least 4 players in the summer?, we can't buy a team in a season if that's what you mean, because it will always take time to gel, but this is our punishment for not buying these players already, and it's probably because we havent had a long term manager to actually do it.

By taking this job, André is facing to a big construction work to accomplish. He has inherited a team who, each and every day comes closer to his "death" (ie the old guard). Hence he will have to built a new team and to instil into our club a new philosophy. It will take time. You just have to face the fact we will go through some "bad moment" because of the work which hasn't have been made a long time ago. So accept this fact and chill out, give him time to build his team.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Yeah exactly! We go into summer without a Manager and seem to get one halfway through the window then pre season and shite starts hardly time to think!

Not necessarily a bad thing to be honest.

Yes I mean the majority of the team needs replacing there is a lot of deadwood in the squad. Not enough players were bought in the summer that could make an instant impact. For reasons only AVB & Roman know. But the fans want it both ways, we need a long term manager we now have one with AVB & if he is to be our long term manager then we need to be patient. If he can make the changes needed in the summer or january then we need to just ride this season out.

Not necessarily a bad thing to be honest.

Yeah I was thinking the same tbh...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I never really expected much this season anyway. Andre has the wrong tools for the job - he has a squad with no desire or fight left. I'm willing to give him the time he needs to change things; but I fear that change won't come until next summer, meaning we're in for a long season indeed. Time to review our priorities and pray for a top four finish.
