What’s the point? Chelsea FC, the actual football club, haven’t done anything to bring these companies’ reputation down. So other than a phony publicity stunt I don’t see what it accomplishes. Any and all sponsors that jump ship during this period should never be allowed to come groveling back once things are sorted. Very reactionary. They are risking future business by doing so. Hope we fuck Three right off once this is sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hypocrisy more than anything. I don't think anyone will complain about the likes of Trivago and Nike remaining committed on the basis that clearly the club will be changing ownership very soon, so will just keep monitoring developments for now. Will be interesting to know what the position of Chelsea is or can be once everything is sorted. Can the club veto out of these deals with Three and Hyundai and arrange new sponsorships?

Pizy 18,952 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It’s not like we have a sex predator or a club-wide scandal that would damage the reputation of the shirt sponsor by mere association. There’s no right minded person in the world who sees the Hyundai logo on a Chelsea players’ sleeve and thinks “I’m not buying a Hyundai because they support Chelsea!” It’s just performative bullshit. xPetrCechx and Blue Armour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real, Barca, Bayern, Pool (FSG is a consortium) for starters, there is no single human owner for any of the 4 also, a shedload of yank teams (baseball, football, basketball, hockey, especially baseball) have consortium ownership The Boston Red Sox (FSG which Stands for Fenway Sports Group, Fenway being their legendary old old stadium), the New York Yankees ( Yankee Global Enterprises, an LLC), and the the LA Dodgers (Boehly is part of that consortium) are great examples of very successful teams who have no single human owner Edited March 13, 2022 by Vesper OhForAGreavsie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both of those, plus the two snippets linked here, I find Boehly to be impressive. That said I don't interpret what he says about the super League to mean that he is against it. My take is that he is against trying to do anything without taking the fans, the customers, along with you. These comments therefore would not rule out his being part of attempts to sell a repackaged version of the super League to European football fans at some point in the future. If the bid by his consortium moves forward then we can expect media outlets to follow up on his ideas about the super League and other matters. It will be interesting to read more about his thinking.

The last couple of games have been away, this is a home game being shown on Sky Sports. I think the Roman Abramovich chant goes beyond support and appreciation of Roman, it's almost now in an act of defiance against everyone who seems to be attacking the club right now because it's so provocative at present. For me personally, I would prefer it not being chanted at present and we just focus on supporting the team. There will be a better time and place in the future to show appreciation to Roman. But things could start to turn a bit more toxic today I feel as frustrations could start to boil over regarding the treatment of the club. It's ironic though the number of journalists that are criticising and degrading the club - they have a right not to watch if they're as disgusted as they're writing would suggest but they will all be watching today's game, many likely will even be at the game. Sky Sports will know what is in store too and they'll be secretly loving it. They could easily have decided this week to switch to a different 2pm game today to air but this is the one they want because it's highly controversial (with Newcastle being the visitors an extra backdrop to the story with their new ownership). We'll no doubt all have to put up with the likes of Jamie Carragher (stand up guy spitting at a kid because he was getting wound up) and what appears a more increasingly politically driven Gary Neville who's always happy to flap his gums, give their 2 cents for what it's worth (completely worthless in my opinion). From a media perspective we'll get massacred today. We can just hope the boys are motivated for getting 3 points and moving us closer to a guaranteed top 4 position.
