Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Xabi Alonso as Manager of the Men’s Team.
The Spaniard will begin his role on July 1, 2026, having agreed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Welcome to Chelsea, Xabi!
I’m starting to notice a trend where the Red Sox think they’ve done all that’s necessary to acquire a player via trade or free agency, when in reality, they’re so far away from actually doing so. I need you to understand how alarming that is to have happened multiple times now.
Rafael Devers is ready to play wherever the Giants need him to. Brutal. But that was always the most likely scenario.
It was clear from the reporting that everything stemmed from the organization lying to him over the winter. He felt betrayed.
That's what it all came down to.
If he said this in February, he’d still be on the Red Sox right now. I get why he was annoyed and frustrated with the team for doing an awful job communicating with him, but yeah. That’s going to piss off a lot of people. Whole situation just sucks.
If you think this is bad, just wait until the Red Sox let Alex Bregman opt out and go to another team so that they lose both him and Raffy for absolutely nothing. What an embarrassing and self inflicted disaster the Red Sox have created for themselves. It is truly unbelievable.
Chelsea reportedly refusing to match Milan's very reasonable asking price for Mike Maignan, a clear upgrade and a goalkeeper who is amongst the best in the world, because they don't want to pay a "Club World Cup tax"
Having bought 49 players under the Boehly Clearlake ownership...
Including spending £42m on Joao Felix, £30m on Dewsbury-Hall, £20m on Jorgensen, £19m on Kellyman just last summer...
Not to mention the amount wasted on Mudryk, Disasi, Badiashile, Ugochukwu, Sterling and Koulibaly amongst others during their ownership...
Feels like one of the most avoidable errors of this mistake ridden era.
3 years ago today this man & Clearlake took over Chelsea FC.
It’s been a rough 3 years of a lot of change.
But we now have a strong structure established, stability through the club & strong foundations for a new Chelsea team.
CL football & first trophy. More to come.
