One we actually owned as well....

There probably won't be enough talk about Alisson's performance thus far. Two important saves which could have easily swung the game in United's favour.

that is damn close to a red card on de Ligt

He does have his moments, though. 

Another one we were in for prior to his move. What might have been all over the pitch... 😞

And this..."Liverpool's Arne Slot is the first manager to win each of his first three Premier League games without conceding a single goal since the late Sven-Goran Eriksson at Manchester City in 2007"

Isn't that just lovely....

Will take a while before the Klopp effect wears off.

But will it? All he has had to do is taken over a team well put together and kept them together...helps what he's come into is pretty solid. I don't think many have predicted them to finish outside top 4..

Whereas us who knows..rebuild and rebuild

BlueCo seem to be believers in Schumpeter's creative destruction and modern endogenous growth theory

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_destruction

Creative destruction (German: schöpferische Zerstörung) is a concept in economics that describes a process in which new innovations replace and make obsolete older innovations.

The concept is usually identified with the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter, who derived it from the work of Karl Marx and popularized it as a theory of economic innovation and the business cycle. It is also sometimes known as Schumpeter's gale. In Marxian economic theory, the concept refers more broadly to the linked processes of the accumulation and annihilation of wealth under capitalism.

The German sociologist Werner Sombart has been credited with the first use of these terms in his work Krieg und Kapitalismus (War and Capitalism, 1913). In the earlier work of Marx, however, the idea of creative destruction or annihilation (German: Vernichtung) implies not only that capitalism destroys and reconfigures previous economic orders, but also that it must continuously devalue existing wealth (whether through war, dereliction, or regular and periodic economic crises) in order to clear the ground for the creation of new wealth.

In Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942), Joseph Schumpeter developed the concept out of a careful reading of Marx's thought, arguing that the creative-destructive forces unleashed by capitalism would eventually lead to its demise as a system. Despite this, the term subsequently gained popularity within mainstream economics as a description of processes such as downsizing to increase the efficiency and dynamism of a company. The Marxian usage has, however, been retained and further developed in the work of social scientists such as David Harvey, Marshall Berman, Manuel Castells, and Daniele Archibugi.

In modern economics, creative destruction is one of the central concepts in the endogenous growth theory. In Why Nations Fail, a popular book on long-term economic development, Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson argue the major reason countries stagnate and go into decline is the willingness of the ruling elites to block creative destruction, a beneficial process that promotes innovation.

TalkChelsea members and Chelsea fans would you be okay with if clearlake and CFC owners have already done a dirty deal behind the scenes and already chosen a new ownership for when they can sell us.

 

when the owners are allowed to sell Chelsea.

A Saudi Arabian billion dollar company buys Chelsea.
