The thread tracking releases from every SPFL club this summer starts here...

[Supporters Direct Scotland @SuppDirectScot]

Spot on, and its not just Chelsea. Decision makers at clubs everywhere seem to be investing in revolving doors, demanding immediate success, and not looking at their own part in their repeatedly failures (or in many cases, when they simply fail to meet inflated expectations).

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

Chelsea managers sacked by Toad Boehly and Co

Thomas Tuchel: Dismissed for refusing to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. Now England manager at World Cup

Graham Potter: Sacked after taking Chelsea to quarter finals of Champions League. Now Sweden manager at World Cup

Frank Lampard: Interim manager, has just taken Coventry City to Premier League for first time since 2001.

Maurichio Pochettino: Sacked after arguing with Chelsea’s 263 Directors of Football and a 6th place finish. Now USA manager at World Cup.

Enzo Maresca: Sacked after winning Club World Cup, UEFA Conference League and top four finish. Currently enjoying his payoff and favourite to replace Pep if he leaves City this summer.

Liam Rosenior; Sacked after four months.

The common issue is that it’s Boehly (former Sporting Director of Soccerball at Chelsea) and Egbali making these decisions.

Perhaps, just perhaps, turning Chelsea into a hedge fund experiment isn’t a good idea. Who wants to be the footballing equivalent of Married at First Sight?

⚽️ Motherwell’s ‘Working Together’ for on and off-field success

@MotherwellFC and the Well Society have signed a landmark Working Together Agreement.

[Supporters Direct Scotland @SuppDirectScot]

Fan-owned clubs often have difficult decisions to make, but @TheWellSociety showed how to use the power of their membership and their reach into the whole fanbase to engage fans on a common cause. They've followed up with a groundbreaking education programme 👏👏👏

[Football Supporters Europe @FansEurope]

‼️ In 2024, @MotherwellFC faced a defining moment as external investment threatened its fan ownership model.

📢🗳️ What followed was a David vs Goliath battle, & a powerful example of democratic action from @TheWellSociety. 1/2

🎟️ The #FIFAWorldCup 2026 final ticket sale period indicates revenue is a priority over inclusion.

PA/companion tickets were made an additional disability-related cost and are now available separately.

Required steps to address accessibility concerns have still not been taken.

FSE's campaign to overturned the flawed ticketing model for the World Cup continues 👏👏👏

[Football Supporters Europe @FansEurope]

FSE & Euroconsumers have filed a formal complaint with the @EU_Commission against @FIFAcom over 2026 @FIFAWorldCup ticketing.

From excessive prices to opaque processes, fans are being exploited. We need action & deserve protection.

[Supporters Direct Scotland @SuppDirectScot]

Fantastic mini-series on the Ultras scene. An eye opener and should hopefully advance the conversation from over-simplifications and misunderstandings. Well done to everyone involved in making it.

[Derek Watson @derekwatson89]

There’s often a preconceived idea of what the ultras scene is, but for me it’s extremely nuanced.

I’ve seen first hand how it can tackle isolation, how being part of group can improve people’s wellbeing, and how as a collective you can drive positive change within communities.

As a result of this, and I take no pleasure reporting this news, we ultimately have to award the 1966 World Cup to West Germany.

[Gillian Mackay - Scottish Greens @Gillian_Mackay1]

Football is for the fans! ⚽️

We need to make sure football fans voices are represented at national and club level.

I was delighted to host a summit with @FalkirkfcSS, @ScotSupporters, @scottishfsa, @SuppDirectScot and others discuss how we make football fairer for all.
