[Chelsea FC @ChelseaFC]

Chelsea Football Club is today mourning the passing of former chairman Ken Bates.

The club sends our heartfelt condolences to Ken’s wife Suzannah, the rest of his family and his friends.

Ken’s determination to fight for Chelsea when times were tough, and drive the team on to winning trophies will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Ken.

[Chelsea Pitch Owners @pitchowners]

We are saddened by the news that Ken Bates has passed and send our condolences to Suzannah and all his family. Without Ken, the club we love might well have been lost and there would be no CPO. Turning fans into pitch owners is a unique vision that we will continue to deliver.

@ShedUpperMan The thanks are due to you! This is useful stuff. Just to reassure you we also have the FAB making this sort of point and Neil Beard and Tracey Chapman are great reps. They stand ready to help too.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@ShedUpperMan Got it. All good points I will pass on.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@selukproperty Yes, it is all I’ve got to say. It’s so obviously a desperate gesture.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

Rattled.

[Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 @TiceRichard]

If true this is shocking

Tory Chairman being investigated for trying to influence the Standards Commissioner.

After all his attacks on Nigel and Reform?

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@MannyCFC26 @cfcadeel @ebehdad @ChelseaFC Yes. It’s a service we all missed, I think. Naturally the club charges for things. This is a new service and I hope you will enjoy it.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@RahimH94 That’s an example of an argument that I’d love to enter into with you, but I cannot. Thanks for sharing your view and all the best.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@VeronParsons @PaulWChappelle @cfcadeel (Also, thanks V. I do read all these points and it helps me pick up things where we need to learn. I really appreciate the spirit in which they are made).

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@VeronParsons @PaulWChappelle @cfcadeel @ebehdad As you will be aware the interview has been available all day for no charge.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

I thought better of it. In truth Rahim I’d love to reply to every point made to me with a full explanation and argue back when I disagree. But I just can’t do that! Occasionally I mistakenly briefly forget this, as it is quite frustrating to let points go and it also may seem rude. I’m only human! But on reflection I realise I just better suck it up! Sorry I can’t engage more. All the best and thanks.

@MannyCFC26 @cfcadeel @ebehdad @ChelseaFC This is just a replacement for Chelsea TV, which was much more expensive.

[robert shrimsley @robertshrimsley]

This is such crap. And he knows this. The reason for this is that Mohammed is overwhelmingly popular as a first name for muslim boys whereas other faiths, ethnicities are much more diverse in choices. If you want proof that's all this is - look at the girls' names list

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@Sakhile_8 @cfcadeel @ebehdad We may just have a different view on the road to success. But also I belong to a team and I’m only going to say things publicly that support the team. It baffles me that you would imagine I would do anything else.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

Arguing with a bin.

[June Slater @juneslater17]

Meet Count Bin Face .
This isn't some amateur having a giggle . This is an accredited BBC comedy writer who's anti brexit and wants to rejoin the EU according to reports.

Clacton votes 70% to Leave The EU .
Kemi seems very supportive of BinFace.

Kemi along with others are ignoring this very relevant by election,
12,800 people voted Tory in Clacton in 2024, they're probably Brexiteers .

Just dumped and ignored by their own party and a leader happy to mock the election 🤦.

They say they'll stand in the next one 🧐 but that's presuming Farage is found guilty ..
As yet he's under investigation, so innocent until proven guilty .

Any one smell kangaroo droppings?

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@Sakhile_Ndlovu8 @cfcadeel @ebehdad The only thing I would add to your point is that I AM a fan. And I have been one for 57 years. So I’m open minded but I also have a view and I’d ask you too, to be open minded.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@TiceRichard Desperate and ridiculous tweet.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@Sakhile_Ndlovu8 @cfcadeel @ebehdad I hope it’s ok to politely disagree with that. Thanks for sharing your view and it means the world that you are so committed.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@Sakhile_Ndlovu8 @cfcadeel @ebehdad Thanks. I really appreciate it. I really liked what our new manager had to say, that we need to be together. And I hope I’m seen as a supportive colleague to all those who work incredibly hard for the club we love.

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

@Sakhile_Ndlovu8 @cfcadeel @ebehdad Sure, all those things would help. As does this. We are working hard on all of them, naturally. We have made the new manager video available free.
