A quick update from us.
We’ve been relatively quiet since the close of last season. After a full on campaign, we wanted to take stock and see if the club had truly self-reflected.
Now July 1 is here and Xabi Alonso officially takes the reins, we think it’s the right time to make our position clear.
The club itself spoke about a period of self reflection. From where we’re standing, very little seems to have changed. The same people responsible for years of poor decision making are still leading football operations. That gives us little confidence that meaningful change is on the horizon.
Instead, accountability appears to have been placed almost entirely at the feet of the former manager. Yet this was the same club that derailed Strasbourg’s season by pursuing Liam Rosenior in January, only for him to go on to become the worst manager in Chelsea’s modern history before ending the season under the uninspiring Callum McFarlane. That is not the behaviour of a serious football institution.
We’ll allow the summer window to play out before making any final judgement. But the early signs suggest more project signings, a reluctance to value proven experience, and no obvious shift in recruitment philosophy. Meanwhile, our rivals continue to strengthen with established quality.
The issue has never been one manager or one transfer window. It’s the structure. It’s the people leading football operations.
Unless there is genuine accountability and meaningful structural change at football operations level, our concerns remain exactly the same.
We will continue to closely watch the direction of the club over the Summer and as a group, we remain committed to supporter action in the new season.

Unless I am missing something, Maresca didn’t get a pay rise after securing the top four target and then winning the club World Cup which no one thought Chelsea would, but the sporting directors did.
He then in the summer didn’t get backed as much as he would have liked (the whole centre back thing) and once City contacted him, he asked for more power and again a pay rise and extension to reflect what he had done at Chelsea.
Once Chelsea didn’t want to give him that until the summer review then he started to engage with City more seriously about a future job.
To Maresca it must have come across very much like the success of his tenure was down to the model and not his work, so why are people calling him a snake?
