When you sign Martinez (33) Henderson (36) Welbeck (35) Charravia (28) and Lacroix (26) the project dies and rightly so. Xabi Alonso being a ‘manager’ who is respected & valued is not part of the old model and rightly so. This 180 switch is what a large part of the Chelsea fanbase was crying out for years ago. We are now operating & functioning like a Football club who respects the game and its intangibles. Wanting the owners out after 4 years of stubbornness and neglect was justified, ‘if you don’t hear you must feel’ and we did finishing 10TH.
I fully support the Xabi Alonso model. 😉#CFC
@Kolawol28219285 Not being negative, because you've made a lot of good points. But do you think we're still one Colwill injury away from having a real problem at the back, or do you think we've finally filled that gap?
@RichardAdam88@siphillipssport That’s just the BlueCo playbook—find the grey area and exploit it until the rulebook changes. As long as Cobham keeps generating pure profit on the balance sheet, they can handle kicking the amortisation can down the road.
