#Lessonsfrommycoachingexperience:

1. Recognising that it's not my drill, my practise, my session or my match. It's all about the kids. I had to reframe my mindset to understand this basic thing, in order to improve as a coach.

@bobbyfairview Great insight, the only caveat would be a new stadium would improve auxiliary commercial revenue opportunities (Stadium Naming Rights, Higher Shirt Sponsorship Deals, Non football rental opportunities) which could raise the club valuation for an exit. 🤔

@youneshhamou_ What are your thoughts on City and Etihad?

3 years since this magical moment.

What a signing he’s been.

[Brian @CFCMJordan]

"We should have signed Marc Guehi for £20m over Jacquet for £50m!!! Bargain missed!!!"

Fun fact: Marc Guehi would have been significantly more expensive than Jeremy Jacquet.

Marc Guehi wasn't just a £20m transfer fee – he was also £300k p/w in wages. In other words, over a 5 year contract he would cost a total of £98m while holding very little resale value in that time. Guehi is a very good player but he's not THAT good.

As for Jeremy Jacquet, had we signed him for say £50m and given him say £70k p/w in wages, he would have cost us about £68m – a solid £30m less than Guehi – all while holding significantly more resale value(if he doesn't work out) and being a world class talent.

In fact, over the entire 5 year period, we would pay Jacquet only £3m more in wages than City will pay for Guehi in 1 year.

THIS is the logic behind their strategy. Older more established players typically demand significantly higher wages – making them more difficult to offload should they not work out, while at the same time holding less appeal in the market for simply being older.

Scenario 1 – Jacquet: He signs, becomes a world class player and is considered a bargain who will remain a key first team player for many years.

Scenario 2 - Jacquet: He signs, struggles for 2 years before we decide to move him on. He will be 22 years old and will likely be sellable for ~£30m-£40m because of his age and potential. His market will also be fairly big because of his £70k p/w wages. In this time we would have paid him about £7m in wages and made back £30m in transfer fee. The total cost of the deal would be £27m, wages included.

Scenario 1 - Guehi: He signs, becomes a very good player who stays until his contract ends and will likely leave for nothing at the end of it having cost a total £98m.

Scenario 2 - Guehi: He signs, becomes a less useful player who will seek more game time after 2 years. At this stage because of his age and wages, they will likely not be able to sell him and will be forced to loan him out, paying majority of his wages. Regardless of how it plays out he will be a very expensive signing, whose ceiling is about Aké for Man City.

It's very easy to see why Chelsea do what they do. Protesting THAT is just ignorance.

Experience is good but GOOD experience is EXPENSIVE as f*ck and significantly more risky than signing a talented player, total package taken into account.

There's no such thing as a "guaranteed success" and Chelsea, more than anyone should know that.

Eventually this squad will be experienced and we obviously have the talent. It just requires some patience. And as many hits as the SDs have had, they have also had some misses which we are still trying to work on.

I know people believe that enough patience has been had, especially with all the money spent. However, we have spent money in a way no one has before. We have spent the money to build a solid foundation and to win in the future, not to win now.

These directors have assembled a squad of Levi Colwill, Josh Acheampong, Mamadou Sarr, Reece James, Malo Gusto, Mike Penders, Robert Sanchez, Jorrel Hato, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Andrey Santos, Estêvão Willian, Geovany Quenda, Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro among others. There's more than enough individual talent to compete. The few holes we have is being worked on and targeted very clearly.

I personally don't see the need for a protest. People want Chelsea to be exactly the same as they were under Roman while Clearlake wants Chelsea to be successful by a completely different path. Ultimately as long as the goal of the ownership is to achieve success, and they are investing heavily for that in some very very talented players(Enzo, Caicedo, Estêvão etc being SUPERSTAR players on the market) I can't see why anyone would have issues. Clubs have been ran SIGNIFICANTLY worse than this both in the past and present.

@SamCFC_footy In addition to that, we weren't vertically compact enough. This meant our defense was too disconnected from our attack, making it difficult to recover the ball when we lose it, and easier to disrupt our build up.

[Segun Adeniyi @CoachShegun]

@SamCFC_footy We definitely didn't play well today, but this isn't a reflection on the manager or the fact that Maresca left.

Peps city had only 7 shots today against United, with only one shot on target all game.

It was a rough game, but we'll definitely play better with time.

@mkotsollaris @aminfseo Looking forward to day 2

Say nothing. Just RT.

[Segun Adeniyi @CoachShegun]

@CoachesVoice How do you design your daily training sessions to align with and achieve your specific style of football? Additionally, do you repeat certain sessions, and if so, how frequently?

[Segun Adeniyi @CoachShegun]

@ConnCFC Can someone explain why he keeps playing Havertz 90mins ffs!!

https://t.co/cvbjs80LFB

[Segun Adeniyi @CoachShegun]

@CFCMod_ @ConnCFC Him leaving Havertz on for another 90mins after another Disasterclass baffles me

https://t.co/cvbjs80LFB

[Segun Adeniyi @CoachShegun]

@bibiadeniyi Twitter yes. Need a space to rant about Chelsea

[Daraya Sports @DarayaSports]

Can the ref do Chelsea a favour and give Havertz a straight Red, because Potter will play this man for life.

[Chelsea FC @ChelseaFC]

Soucek makes a great save from Conor Gallagher.

[Segun Adeniyi @CoachShegun]

Funny how everyone is up in arms about Chelsea spending money rn, calling on UEFA and FFP. Where was this outrage when Chelsea was being bullied by the EPL, and couldn't even pay for flights, or renew contracts.
