We have to be realistic and differentiate between the current custodians, people who administer Chelsea FC as just another asset that they can make personal profit from, and the previous custodian who made winning silverware and titles as the No 1 priority.

Thats the reality and we need to accept it

yes I already accept our faith. We will become a top8 team and no one will care about us.

I think we will need to wait several years to challenge again for the title and Idk if in our time lives we will see Chelsea champion again

That’s all nonsense. Chelsea had already finished 3rd when the new owner took over. It’s completely different from the situations Klopp and Arteta found at Liverpool and Arsenal. This is just throwing sand in the fans’ eyes. This is going to be the owner’s fourth season, and we’ll most likely miss out on the top four again. So far we’ve had 12th place, 6th place, 4th place, and now probably another failed top-four finish. How can anyone believe this is going to be a success?

We didn’t need to wait this long after already finishing 3rd under Tuchel and spending that much money. The mediocrity of the board is obvious: Madueke was sold and replaced by Gittens, who cost about the same but is clearly a worse player! How does that make any sense?

Where is this we're not gonna qualify for CL coming from? Not worried about that. Do you see 5 teams in the league better than us? We also changed team completely so we did start from zero. Whatever happened before it's irrelevant. And that also needed to be done either way. How many players from 2021 or 2022 squad would you like still to be here? Maybe Rudiger and Pulisic at best. In first season we tried with experienced players like Koulibaly, Auba, Sterling and how that ended? At that point they didn't know what they were doing but now there's is a plan and excitement for the future. Also, do people need to be reminded that we were nowhere near fighting for PL title last 5 seasons under Roman? Madueke has nothing to do with Gittens who is a replacement for Sancho. And lastly, we are fucking World Champions!

They are going to beat our goals conceded record arent they! Fuck off Arsenal.

Painful to say it, but their recruitment team prioritized heavily on upping the quality of their defensive resources, while ours sat back and brought in injury prone CBs as well as freebies like Tosin.

Oh and wasted a 100m on average wingers.
