At this point he could go and sign Mbappe and I’d still want him out. He’s done immeasurable damage to the club
Your right, six months ago everyone was happy, then you sacked the manager 🙄
Doing everything to stop the protest lol
The thing people always get wrong is that the owners of course want to win
Purely because bottom line it’s the best way to make money in football, the brand is the most valuable thing in the club and they need it to get better and bigger and winning is the only way to do it fast and consistently
They’re just really fucking stupid and therefore hurt Chelsea through sheer ignorance
You don’t hire Liam if you want to win, you don’t only buy young players if you want to win. Seems like he just dont understand Football at all
😏 “You certainly review and hold not only the manager, but the management team, the sporting team, accountable”
This twat actually talking about Chelsea for once?
Anyways talk is cheap, we don’t believe a word until you and your chuckle brother directors have a good summer window for once.
If you want success start by getting rid of Rosenior. I don’t blame him for taking the job, I blame those who offered it (Eghbali and his directors). Then stop having Winstanley and Stewart acting like the managers when they can’t even have a 50% hit rate on signings.
Start by fucking off then.
Honestly i don’t don’t that they don’t want to win, but their decision just make no sense.
Him and Clearlake can show their commitment by selling their share of the club.
I think the first bit of fans acknowledging that these guys aren’t going to get the money they want back from the club in the future unless we are a trophy winning club is important because if you think they aren’t even trying to win it’s hard to give reasonable takes on how they are doing.
The Centre Backs have been the biggest issue for them. Followed by LW but there’s just not too many of them going around right now. And then GK which is probably more divisive as Sanchez has shown if you play to his strengths he can be really good, with Penders supposedly this imminent prospect.
Fullbacks, midfielders, right wingers, strikers and Palmer have all been good IMO although I’d assume some people will go after Neto and noni as bad signings too
I do wonder how we would’ve done this season with 100% Palmer and Colwill
I have no doubt they want to win, but if you’re going to stick to a failing formula, you’re going to continue to fail.
Stop trying to outsmart everyone and looking foolish in the process. Start doing what literally every other successful club has done in the history of the sport. Start signing proven talent. God I can’t believe I actually just wrote that like it’s some grand, eye-opening proclamation.
I’m gonna be the odd man out and applaud him for actually making a statement. But this summer will be very telling for the direction of the club. Hope they don’t fuck it up
Let Todd have control. He’s a winner
Shut up egg
Tell me this doesn’t sound exactly like Rosenior. Nothing that our puppet of a manager has said or done has come from him. He’s the best yes man these clowns have had yet, and by God’s grace will be the last one ever.
BLUECO OUT🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
Yeah you want to win that’s why you appointed Rosenior and signed Delap and Gittens. Fucking hell
Pack your bags and go
The best way for this club to be successful is if they sell.
I find this bit interesting: “We’re still in the 40th, 50th minute of that process. But the view is to keep, sign and retain and compensate and extend some of the world’s best players, and ultimately the view was you need, eight, 10, 12, 15 elite players to win and win sustainably, year after year.”
Maybe that’s why we can only play for 50 minutes and the rest of the game we go missing
I appreciate that they are addressing fan concerns and not completely stonewalling us. However, at the end of the day actions speak louder than words and if they’re not willing to change their course then their words are empty.
Stop changing fucking managers then ,and buy some experience…
Honestly, I never expected anything different. I don’t think these folks are especially stupid, either, like some apparently do. My biggest concern is that as the people in charge of managing the project of taking Chelsea from the government sanctioned club where an improbable Champions League win papered over some big problems to a club that can compete at the very top with consistency again are learning on the job, and we are running the very real risk of finding ourselves in the “never ending project” cycle.
I think Eghgahli is getting his hands involved in things that he should step away from, where, as the guy running the project he (and the club) would be better served if he stepped back. Boehly is the one who wants to hire competent people and leave them to it, whereas Eghbahli is the guy who wants to be watching training and chatting with players after matches.
It’s amazing how much shit Boehly has taken over the years when it’s clearly Eghbahli that is the one actively making a mess of things.
Alonso is free sir
Bro all this shit talk , you can’t be serious to come a day before planned protests.. fans ain’t idiots

Better not be more players like Tosin
Send Eghbali, Feliciano, Boehly, Wyss to Bayern and PSG stadiums during a CL match to take a look at what winning actually looks like. What a winning team feels like. What fans do when the club has an actual ambition to win.
Should have given maresca exactly what he wanted. He is a special manager and we are going to regret that massively
“Six months ago everyone was super happy”
That’s a bit of a stretch. It definitely wasn’t the whole fanbase, more like a section of gullible fans, who don’t see things for what they are, who bought into it. We scraped into fourth, and if anything it felt like the manager and players achieved that in spite of the ownership, not because of it.
Maybe I’m being harsh, but I find it hard to celebrate the Conference League—it’s a competition we should never have been in to begin with—and the Club World Cup feels more like a set of glorified friendlies than a real benchmark. For Chelsea, success has always been measured by league performance, Champions League runs, and the occasional domestic cup. Anything outside of that just doesn’t carry the same weight.
Actions speak louder than words
His words mean nothing. Actions are needed, he needs to stfu
if you wanted a blueprint on how not to buy a club and run it. This dickhead has nailed it.
Just buy a few established stars
Once the wins start rolling in and the trophies come nobody will give a shit about any of it
And we know you have the money too you fat fuck
