Teams almost always lose a CL final before they end up winning it. It’s just about being in the deep stages consistently year after year, eventually it’ll happen
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Agreement complete for Xabi Alonso to become Chelsea manager. 44yo Spaniard visited London early last week & accepted opportunity; 4yr contract now finalised - announcement imminent. Primary target throughout + wanted #CFC move @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/4022hQsMXA
Not even exaggerating when I say if there isn’t a drastic change in managerial / transfer policy this summer, we are at serious risk of doing a Tottenham and at the very least flirting with relegation. Worst ownership in the history of football
That performance was very telling of this group of players. Clearly downed tools for the past couple of months like a bunch of babies and have now picked them up again as they got what they want. Unlikable bunch. Win the cup and relegate Spurs and all is forgiven
Whilst Rosenior had to go, it’s difficult to feel as though Chelsea’s problems will be fixed until the Sporting Directors are moved on too. The amount of money spent coupled with the likelihood of missing out on the Champions League is the definition of a ticking time bomb.
Andy Jacobs: "Levi Colwill got injured on the first day of pre-season and Enzo Maresca begged the board to give him a ball playing centre-half. So, they went out and spent £90million on Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho — that's how useless these people are."

🚨 Behdad Eghbali has asked his leadership team, headed up by Stewart and Winstanley, to start drawing up a short term contingency plan. (@kierangill_DM)
It wasn’t Potter’s fault. It wasn’t Pochettino’s fault. It wasn’t Maresca’s fault. It isn’t Rosenior’s fault. People can blame coaches all they like, but the whole BlueCo/Chelsea project has been such a spectacular, hubristic failure

Sack Rosenior and appoint fat Calum to tank the season (but beat spurs). We aren’t getting CL and this club can absolutely do without EL and UECL. Look at United this season. What a fucking shit show
